...the Marriott philosophy. Not quite an easy challenge for the multitude of Marriott brands and the abundance of campaign management tools used to contact customers spread all over the world. With over 3,200 hotels and resorts under 19 brands in 68 countries, the company was founded by J. Willard Marriott in 1927, which began from a roadside root beer stand to an $11 billion industry on just about anything involved in running a hotel.

In order to compete effectively, Marriott relied on extensive marketing research, expert segmentation, and careful targeting.

...Improving a leading brand INTRODUCTION Fast-developing organisations have a range of business objectives that provide a direction for their actions and drive them forward, particularly in markets that are prone to change and innovation. In recent years few market areas have changed quite as much as that of hotels, where there has been a general recognition that consumer groups have different and changing requirements. This case study outlines how Travelodge quickly established itself as the leading brand in the budget hotel market and how it is now consolidating this position through embracing the Internet technologies needed to create competitive advantage in the 21st century. Many leading businesses have gained their positions of prominence by identifying consumer needs that are poorly provided for and then presenting business solutions to satisfy consumer requirements. Having provided the solutions to customer needs, the intelligent business will then seek to improve its product in line with ever-rising customer expectations. How Travelodge has got to where it is today Travelodge is an example of a leading brand which has been created in a relatively short space of time. Today, nearly everyone has heard of Travelodge, yet the first lodge only opened in 1985. Travelodge recognised the need for budget accommodation when it created the sector in the UK, with the opening of the first lodge at Barton Under Needwood a 20-bedroom property on the A38 near Burton.

Sales representatives and corporate employees were invited to hike several miles into Martis Valley, a rural forested area more than 6,000 feet in elevation near Lake Tahoe in a remote region of the Sierra Nevada wilderness. The unique venue provided special challenges for Henry V.

...current situation facing the brand and company? The Bel Brand in the United States is a subsidiary of Fromageries, a family-owned cheese maker. The flag ship company in the USA is, “The Laughing Cow”. This cheese is a cream cheese brand. In 2003, this company had strong sales in the United States because of its association with the South Beach Diet. (Kellogg School of Management, 2012, pg 1) The South Beach Diet was a popular low carbohydrate diet for losing weight. However, as the craze for the low carbohydrate diet diminished so did the sales for The Laughing Cow brand? Ann Legan, the marketing director of Bel Brand USA called a meeting and discussed and debated with her team whether the product’s position needed to be changed? (Kellogg School of Management, 2012, pg 1)They debated if the brand should give up its healthy-snack position in the United States in favor of the family-focused positioning globally. She discussed three alternatives in the meeting. The first position was more consistent with the Europeans. The cheese would be positioned in a way to stress family values and meet children’s needs. The second position is to spring off the South Beach Diet and focus on the healthy aspect of the product as a low calorie nutritional snack. The third option is to choose a new position all together. The brand would have its own identity in the United States and will distance itself from the European values and even the emphasis of the brands great taste. (Kellogg School of...

...| Newell | Memo To: Alex From: Morgan Baker CC: Jimmy Lanigan Date: November 17, 2008 Re: Newell’s current situation Recently, the United States based basic home and hardware product company Newell acquired Calphalon, a manufacturer of anodized aluminum cookware and Rubbermaid, a manufacturer of plastic consumer and commercial products. These acquisitions were deemed necessary by CEO John McDonough. Calphalon will give Newell the ability to enter the department and specialty store markets as well as help Newell’s cookware product line reach the top of the market. Rubbermaid allows Newell greater presence globally and increases brand name. Below you will find information about the Newell Company that will help you better understand the current position and the direction to take in the future. Corporate Level Strategy The Newell Corporate Level Strategy started as a product line strategy where Newell sold their products of drapery hardware to all channels, but the product lines lacked differentiation. In 1966, Newell bought a small window-shade manufacturer in attempts to conquer the problem of differentiation. It was not until Dan Ferguson met Stanford Professor Bob Katz and spoke about differentiation strategies that Newell really began to develop a “build on what we do best” philosophy. After this discussion, Ferguson realized that Newell’s competitive advantage was the knowledge of how to make a high-volume/low-cost product and relate to and sell to the...

...carried out in Malaysia and Hong Kong. Industry Trend and Development Going forward, we still firmly believe that issues relating to size and brand power will continue to be the predominant competitive features that businesses in the retail fashion industry have to address. Shopping malls, both new and existing ones, are getting larger, and the stores located within them are also expanding in size. The newly-opened Berjaya Times Square and Ikea Store can attest to that. And given the continuing proliferation of brands and the numerous communication channels that exist, it will get increasingly tougher to reach, secure and retain customers. In this chaotic and rapidly evolving market environment, brands, properly and smartly managed, will provide the stability needed to drive growth and market share.
