Branding a Produt

Marketing is a set of activities with the overall goal of creating and nurturing customer relationships. As such it involves decisions in four major areas :

1. The product/service -- what will best meet the needs of my customers? What are my customers really purchasing?

2. Distribution -- how can I make it easy for my customers to purchase the product? Do I need the help of other firms for location, service, customization, systems integration, etc?

3. Promotion and communication -- how can I let my customers and prospect know about the value of the product/service? How can I create an information path for them to communicate with me?

4. Price -- what price is appropriate for the product -- competitive in the market, reflective of the quality and perception of the product, acceptable to the customer and suitable for my business needs?

Branding is a subset primarily of promotion. The concept is to first, understand what the essential, core value is that your customers hold for your product category. You then want to create/modify your product to best deliver on that core value and then promote it such that the consumer intimately associates -- believes -- that your product best delivers the value.
