Facilitation of Product Adoption, Brand Naming, and
Packaging
Chapter Seven

Marcom and New Product Adoption
• Introducing new products is essential for most companies’ success and long-term growth– Forced obsolescence
• New idea and product failure-rate estimated 35-45%
• Marketing communications facilitate successful new product introductions and reduce the product failure rate

New-Product Adoption Process Model
Three stages of adopting a new product
Awareness Class
Trier Class
Repeater Class

New-Product Adoption Process Model
• Variables: free samples, coupons, advertising, and distribution
• Successful introduction of new products requires an effective advertising campaign, widespread product distribution, and extensive couponing and sampling

New-Product Adoption Process Model
• Variables: coupons, distribution, and price
• Once the consumer becomes aware of a new product, there is an increased probability that he will actually try the new offering

9
Relative Advantage
• A product innovation is perceived as better than existing alternatives
• Positively correlated with an innovation’s adoption rate
• Exist when a new product offers:– Better performance, increased comfort, saving in time
and effort, or immediacy of reward– Existing alternatives begin to lose share
• Consider mobile phones vs. landlines; digital cameras vs. 35mm film cameras
10
Compatibility
• An innovation is perceived to fit into a person’s way of doing things
• The greater compatibility, the more rapid a product’s rate of adoption
• Overcome perception of incompatibility through heavy advertising to persuade consumers
• Consider new releases of software – always compatible with older releases and data files made with older releases
• Consider UHT milk and refrigerated milk
11
Complexity
• An innovation’s degree of perceived difficulty
• The more difficult, the slower the rate of adoption
• Consider PCs when they first hit the market
12
Trialability
• An innovation can be used on a limited basis prior to making a full blown commitment
• The trial experience serves to reduce the risk of a consumer’s being dissatisfied with a product after having permanently committed to it through outright purchase
• Example – Car Purchases
13
Observability
• The product user or other people can observe the positive effects of new product usage
• Higher the visibility, more rapid the adoption rate
• Example – Nike Shox

Diffusion Process
• Concerned with the broader issue of how an innovation is communicated and adopted throughout the marketplace
• The process of spreading out• Adopter categories
– Five different type of consumers• Innovators 2.5%; Early Adopters 13.5%; Early Majority 34%;
Late Majority 34%; Laggards 16%
– Normal distribution

1. Secure sales quickly - rapid takeoff
2. Achieve rapid acceleration- rapid acceleration
4. Maintain sales as long as possible - long-run franchise
3. Secure maximum sales potential- maximum penetration

28
Opinion Leaders
Market Mavens
Individuals who have information about
many kinds of products, places to shop,
and other facets of markets, and initiate
discussions with consumers and respond
to requests from customers from market
information.
29
Stimulating Word of Mouth Influence
• Positive word-of-mouth communication is critical in the success of a new product of service
• Unfavorable WOM has devastating effects because consumers seem to place more weight on negative information in making evaluations
30
Creating “Buzz”
• The systematic and organized effort to
encourage people to talk favorably about a particular item (a product, service, or specific brand) and to recommend its usage to others.
• Find opinion leaders who can become ‘cheerleaders’ – practice is called ‘seeding’
• ‘Kuchikomi’ the WOM network of teenage girls in Japan – Tamagotchi
• Guerilla Marketing, Street Marketing, Viral Marketing – all designed to generate buzz
31
Creating an Epidemic
• The law of the few – A few well connected people required e.g. opinion
leaders, market mavens
• The stickiness factor– The message must be memorable
• The power of context– Circumstances have to be just right for the message
to spread
32
Igniting Explosive Self-Generating Demand
• Design the product to be unique or visible. • Select and seed the vanguard. • Ration supply. • Use celebrity icons. • Tap the power of lists – get on a list somewhere• Nurture the grass roots
33
Brand Naming
Brand
A company’s unique designation or
trademark, which distinguishes its
offering from other product category
entries.
34
Power of Brand Name
• Affects the speed with which consumers become aware of the brand
• Influences the brand’s image
• Plays major role in brand-equity information
35
What Constitutes a Good Brand Name?
• Distinguish the brand from competitive offerings.• Describe the brand and its attributes.• Achieve compatibility with a brand’s desired
image and with its product design or packaging.• Be memorable and easy to pronounce and
spell.• Can be trademarked• Consistent in meaning when used in other
countries / cultures
Are these good brand names?

Exceptions to the “Rules”
• Some brands become successful in spite of their names
• The first brand in a new product category can be successful regardless of its name if it offers distinct advantages.
• Brand Managers sometimes choose names that are intentionally meaningless at inception, like “Lucent Technologies.”

41
The Role of Logos
• Graphic design element that is related to the brand name
• Companies use logos with or without brand names
• Not all brand names possess a distinct logo but many do
e.g., the Nike swoosh, Ralph Lauren’s Polo
42
Good Logos
• Recognized readily
• Convey essentially the same meaning to all target members
• Evoke positive feelings
• Best strategy is to choose a design that is moderately elaborate rather than too simple or too complex

46
Packaging Structure
• Sensation Transference: a tendency to impute characteristics from a package to the brand itself.
• Gestalt-consumers react to the unified whole of the package not the individual parts.

• Evoke different feeling through the choice of slope, length, and thickness of lines– Horizontal(tranquillity), Vertical(strength),
Slanted lines(upward movement)
• Shapes also arouse certain emotions and have specific connotations– Curving lines(femininity), Sharp lines(masculinity)
