INTORDUCTION
Brand Awareness
The likelihood that consumers recognize the existence and availability of a
company's product or service. Creating brand awareness is one of the key steps in
promoting a product.
Brand awareness is an important way of promoting commodity-related products.
This is because for these products, there are very few factors that differentiate one product
from its competitors. Therefore, the product that maintains the highest brand awareness
compared to its competitors will usually get the most sales.
For example, in the soft drink industry, very little separates a generic soda from a
brand-name soda, in terms of taste. However, consumers are very aware of the brands Pepsi
and Coca Cola, in terms of their images and names. This higher rate of brand awareness
equates to higher sales and also serves as an economic moat that prevents competitors from
gaining more market share.

NEED FOR STUDY
The changing trends in the Indian society lead consumers towards four wheelers
from two wheelers. The four wheeler/food industry is prospering in India with eleven
existing companies and different models are being produced by each of the company.
HERITAGE Udyog Ltd. being a standard company holds a major share in the Indian
market. With increase in competition it is releasing new models of foods with a less time
gap between one and the other. Due to the fewer gaps between one and the other, many
models are left unaware. Thus, this study helps to know the level of brand awareness of
HERITAGE FRESH FOODS and impact of advertisement in creating brand awareness.

INDUSTRY PROFILEINDUSTRY PROFILE
India is the world's second largest producer of food next to China, and has the potential of being the biggest
with the food and agricultural sector. The total food production in India is likely to double in the next tenyears and there is an opportunity for large investments in food and food processing technologies, skills and
equipment, especially in areas of Canning, Dairy and Food Processing, Specialty Processing, Packaging,
Frozen Food/Refrigeration and Thermo Processing. Fruits & Vegetables, Fisheries, Milk & Milk Products,
Meat & Poultry, Packaged/Convenience Foods, Alcoholic Beverages & Soft Drinks and Grains are
important sub-sectors of the food processing industry. Health food and health food supplements is another
rapidly rising segment of this industry which is gaining vast popularity amongst the health conscious.
India is one of the worlds major food producers but accounts for less than 1.5 per cent of international food
trade. This indicates vast scope for both investors and exporters. Food exports in 1998 stood at US $5.8
billion whereas the world total was US $438 billion. The Indian food industries sales turnover is Rs 140,000
crore (1 crore = 10 million) annually as at the start of year 2000. The industry has the highest number of
plants approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) outside the USA.
India's food processing sector covers fruit and vegetables; meat and poultry; milk and milk products,
alcoholic beverages, fisheries, plantation, grain processing and other consumer product groups like
confectionery, chocolates and cocoa products, Soya-based products, mineral water, high protein foods etc.
We cover an exhaustive database of an array of suppliers, manufacturers, exporters and importers widely
dealing in sectors like the -Food Industry, Dairy processing, Indian beverage industry etc. We also cover
sectors like dairy plants, canning, bottling plants, packaging industries, process machinery etc.
The most promising sub-sectors includes -Soft-drink bottling, Confectionery manufacture, Fishing,
aquaculture, Grain-milling and grain-based products, Meat and poultry processing, Alcoholic beverages,
Milk processing, Tomato paste, Fast-food, Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, Food additives, flavors etc.
Food processing
The food industry is the complex, global collective of diversebusinessesthat together supply much of
the food energy consumed by theworld population. Only subsistence farmers, those who survive on what
they grow, can be considered outside of the scope of the modernfoodindustry.
Food processing is the methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food
for human consumption.Food processing takes clean, harvested or slaughtered and
butchered components and uses them to produce marketable food products.there are several
different ways in which food can be produced.
One Off Production This method is used when customers make an order for something to
be made to their own specifications, for example a wedding cake. The making of One Off

Products could take days depending on how intricate the design is and also the ability of the
chef making the product. today...
Batch Production This method is used when the size of the market for a product is not
clear, and where there is a range within a product line. A certain number of the same goods
will be produced to make up a batch or run, for example at Greggs Bakery they will bake a
certain number of chicken bakes. This method involves estimating the amount of customers
that will want to buy that product.
Mass production This method is used when there is a mass market for a large number of
identical products, for example, chocolate bars, ready meals and canned food. The product
passes from one stage of production to another along a production line.
Just In Time This method of production is mainly used in sandwich bars such as Subway,
it is when all the components of the product are there and the customer chooses what they
want in their product and it is made for them fresh in front of them.
WHOLESALE AND DISTRIBUTION
A vast global transportation network is required by the food industry in order to connect its
numerous parts. These include suppliers, manufacturers, warehousing, retailers and the end
consumers. There are also those companies that, during the food processing process, add
vitamins, minerals, and other necessary requirements usually lost during
preparation.Wholesale marketsfor fresh food products have tended to decline in
importance in OECD countries as well as in Latin America and some Asian countries as a
result of the growth ofsupermarkets, which procure directly from farmers or through
preferred suppliers, rather than going through markets.
The constant and uninterrupted flow of product from distribution centers to store locations
is a critical link in food industry operations. Distribution centers run more efficiently,
throughput can be increased, costs can be lowered, and manpower better utilized if the
proper steps are taken when setting up a material handling system in a warehouse.
The Indian food market is estimated at over US$ 182 billion, and accounts for about two
thirds of the total Indian retail market. Further, according to consultancy firm McKinsey &
Co, the retail food sector in India is likely to grow from around US$ 70 billion in 2011 to
US$ 150 billion by 2025, accounting for a large chunk of the world food industry, which
would grow to US$ 400 billion from US$ 175 billion by 2025.

EXPORTS
Exports of agricultural products from India are expected to more than double to top US$
20.6 billion in the next five years, according to the commerce ministry.
According to estimates by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export
Development Authority (APEDA), the share of India's farm product exports in the global
trade will grow from 2 per cent now to over 5 per cent.
Exports of fresh and processed vegetables, fruits, livestock and cereals rose 10 per cent to
US$ 8.67 billion in 2010-2011.
SPICES
Despite a global slowdown, Indian spice exports are growing. India exported 470,520
tonnes of spices valued at US$ 11.68 billionan all-time highin 2010-2011.
During the 2010-11 , 444,250 tonnes valued at US$ 11.01 billion were exported. Compared
with 2010-11 , exports had shown an increase of 19 per cent in rupee value and six per cent
in dollar terms.

FOOD PROCESSING
The Indian packaged processed foods industry is estimated at US$ 10.87 billion US$
13.05 billion, including biscuits, chocolates, ice-cream, confectionery, snacks, cheese and
butter. Growing at a healthy 14-15 per cent over the past two-three years, major players inthe sector include Britannia, Nestle, Amul, ITC Foods, Parle, Kelloggs, GlaxoSmithKline,
Wrigley and Frito-Lay, among others.
The industry received foreign direct investments (FDI) totalling US$ 143.80 million in
2010-2011against US$ 5.70 million in the previous fiscal. The cumulative FDI received by
the industry from April 2000-August 2010 stood at US$ 878.32 million.
However, Indias share in exports of processed food in global trade is only 1.5 per cent;
whereas the size of the global processed-food market is estimated at US$ 3.2 trillion and
nearly 80 per cent of agricultural products in the developed countries get processed and
packaged.
In order to further grow the food processing industry, the government has formulated a
Vision-2015 action plan under which specific targets have been set. This includes tripling
the size of the food processing industry from around US$ 70 billion to about US$ 210
billion, raising the level of processing of perishables from 6 per cent to 20 per cent,
increasing value addition from 20 per cent to 35 per cent, and enhancing Indias share in
global food trade from 1.5 per cent to 3 per cent. This would require an investment of US$
20.6 billion.
According to an Ernst and Young (E&Y) presentation, the food processing industry in India
will grow 30-40 per cent as against the present 15 per cent in the next 10-years.
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on October 6, 2010 laid out a blueprint for rapid
growth in the countrys food processing sector. The Prime Minister said that this can beachieved by simplifying the tax structure, formulating a National Food Processing Policy
and improving rural infrastructure.
Moreover, according to Union Minister for Food Processing Industries, Subodh Kant Sahai
the central government is envisaging an investment of US$ 21.50 billion in the food
processing industry over the next five years, a major chunk of which it plans to attract from
the private sector and financial institutions.

SNACKS AND CONFECTIONERY
The Indian market holds enormous growth potential for snack food, which is estimated to
be worth US$ 3 billion, with the branded snack market estimated to be around US$ 1.34
billion, growing at 15-20 per cent a year. While the growth rate of the US$ 1.56 billion
unorganised sector is 7-8 per cent.
HEALTH FOOD
Recognising the growth potential of the branded health food sector in India, fast moving
consumer goods (FMCG) majors are foraying into this sector in a big way. As Hindustan
Lever Ltd (HUL) is test marketing its health food brand, Kissan Amaze, in three southern
states in India, Godrej Hershey Foods & Beverages Ltd (GHFBL), a joint venture between
Godrej Beverages & Foods Ltd and Hershey Company, is planning to introduce select
brands from its international portfolio in the domestic market.
DAIRY
According to Dairy India 2010 estimates, the current size of the Indian dairy sector is US$ 62.67 billion and
has been growing at a rate of 5 per cent a year. The dairy exports in 201010 rose to US$ 210.5 million
against US$ 113.57 last fiscal, whereas the domestic dairy sector is slated to cross US$ 110 billion in
revenues by 2011.
India continues to be the largest producer of milk in the world. It produced 110 million tonne of milk in
2010-2011.
BEVERAGES
According to industry experts, the market for carbonated drinks in India is worth US$ 1.5 billion while the
juice and juice-based drinks market accounts for US$ 0.25 billion. Growing at a rate of 25 per cent, the
fruit-drinks category is one of the fastest growing in the beverages market. Sports and energy drinks, which
currently have a low penetration in the Indian market, have sufficient potential to grow.
The market for alcoholic beverages has been growing consistently. 'The Future of Wine', a report on the
state of the wine industry over 50 years, suggests that the market for wine in India was growing at over 25
per cent per year.
MAJOR INVESTMENTS
Private investment has been one of the key drivers for growth of the Indian food industry. The 'India Food
26
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
13/67
Report 2011', reveals that the total amount of investments in the food processing sector in the pipeline for
the next three years is about US$ 23 billion.
The government has received around 40 expressions of interest (EoI) for the setting up of 10 MFPs
with an investment of US$ 514.37 million.
Reliance Industries Ltd has invested US$ 1.25 billion in a dairy project.
Focusing on India as a rapidly growing market, US soft drinks giant Pepsico would pump in an
estimated US$ 152.30 million to set up four new food and beverages projects by 2012.
Geneva-based food service chain Global Franchise Architects (GFA) aims to open 250 stores
around the world by March 2011, of which 100 will be in India.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
The new trade policy places increased focus on agro-based industries.
Food processing industries have been put in the list of priority sectors for bank lending. The Centre
has also announced a series of new initiatives which include a separate policy at the state level,
thrust on contract farming and making the sector tax-free.
The government plans to open 30 mega food parks by the end of the 11th five year plan (2010-
2012).
Fruit and vegetable processing units have been completely exempted from paying excise duty.
Automatic approval for foreign equity up to 100 per cent is permitted for most of the processed
food items.
Items like fruits and vegetables products, condensed milk, ice cream, meat production have been
completely exempted from Central Excise Duty.
Excise duty on ready to eat packaged foods and instant food mixes has been brought down to 8 per
cent from 16 per cent.
Excise duty on aerated drinks has been reduced to 16 per cent from 24 per cent.
The Ministry of Food Processing Industry would assist in the setting up of more food processing
units so that the industry could create 10 million jobs by 2015, according to Mr Subodh Kant
Sahai, Union Minister for Food Processing.
LOOKING AHEAD
According to the India Food and Drink Report Q3 2011 by research analysis firm Research and Markets, by
2012, Indias processed food output is likely to grow by 44.2 per cent to touch US$ 90.1 billion, while
packaged food sales will increase by 67.5 per cent to reach US$ 21.7 billion. On a per capita basis, per
capita packaged food spending is expected to grow by 56.5 per cent to US$ 18.06 by 2012.
Moreover, according to a FICCI-E&Y study on the Indian food industry, investment opportunities in the
Indian food industry are set to shoot up by a huge 42.5 per cent to US$ 181 billion in 2015 and to US$ 318
billion by 2020.

LITERATURE REVIEW

What is a Brand?
There are many ways of defining brands. This is due to the fact that branding is a
complex concept and hence can be interpreted variously, depending upon the perspective.
However, one the simplest of all definitions is the following:-
Brand = Product + Images
By this definition, brand is the amalgamation of a product and the images that it conjures.
These images may be a result of the product itself (both core and augmented), its usage
advertising and marketing activities, brand personality, the parent company and its
reputation, company's employees, media reports regarding the brands etc. Overtime,
exposure to these results in the creation of a brand.
For example: -
Lux = Toilet Soap + [Film stars + Beautiful Skin + Fantasy element (Looking like a film
star) + Confidence regarding looks + ].
Thus, Lux one of many toilet soaps available in the market is a brand because whenever we
hear the word Lux, or see its advertisement in television / newspaper, or see its package on
a shelf in the store, it conjures the image of beautiful Bollywood actresses, and the dream of
looking like them and not first the physical product i.e., a cake of soap.
The American Marketing Association has defined a brand as, 'a name, term, sign, symbol or
design, or a combination of them, intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or
group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors'. Thus a brand is
anything associated with a product or service that accomplishes at least two objectives.
Firstly, it identifies the manufacturer or marketer of the product. Secondly, it differentiates
the product from competitors offerings.
It is important to understand that the brand name, term, sign, symbol, logo, design,
packaging style, colour, tone, jingle etc. used to identify the brand, can be legally protected
only when they get registered and become trade marks. A trade-mark is identified by a
41
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
28/67
small 'R' inside a circle, viz . Trademarks, together with other intangible assets such as
copyrights and patents help in making a brand unique.
Another notable definition of brand is given by Duane E Knapp who describe a genuine
brand as,
- The internalized sum of all impressions received by customers and consumers resulting in
distinctive position in their (consumers) 'minds eye' based on perceived functional and
emotional benefits."
Thus genuine brand is not just the result of advertising and other marketing gimmicks.
Rather it is the sum of all consumer perceptions. Only a truly distinctive or unique brand
can create a lasting impression on consumers mind. Once the distinction between the brand
and its competition decreases, there is a greater scope for competing brands to occupy
consumers mind space. The ultimate test of a true brand is that it should provide value to
consumer, by giving them real benefits whether tangible or intangible. Thus, for a young
couple with kids eating at McDonalds provides the tangible benefit of having hygienic fast
food at a reasonable price, and the intangible benefit of seeing the happy faces of their kids,
enjoying themselves at McDonald's or getting free toys with their Merry Meals
Brand Awareness
In general, awareness describes peoples perception and cognitive reaction to a
Condition or event. Awareness does not necessarily imply understanding as it is an
abstract concept. Awareness may be focused on an internal state, such as an instinctive
feeling, or on external events such as sensory perception Marion and Booth (1997) give
good examples of awareness: People have earlier experience of a certain situation and are
aware of that. They are also aware of who they are, the background to the circumstances,
where being located as well as the emotions to the place, what time of year it is and what
day it is, and also what to do the rest of the day. Even though, there is awareness of
everything at the same time, the intensity varies. Peoples' awareness is reshaping its
structure constantly, and what we call awareness is the sum of the individual's experience.

So it is possible to do one thing while still be aware of many other things. Brand awareness
is the capacity of consumers to recognize or remember a brand, and there is a linkage
between the brand and the product class, but the link does not have to be strong. Brand
awareness is a process from where the brand is just known to a level when the consumers
have put the brand on a higher rank; the brand has become the "top of mind"(Aaker, 1991).
Anchor to which other associations can be attached is when a new product has to
work to win recognition, because there are few purchase decisions that can be done without
knowledge about the product. Moreover, without attained recognition it is difficult to learn
about the character and advantages of the new merchandise. With product identification it
is easy to create a new relationship to the item. The explanation of familiarity/linking is that
people like familiarity, and knowledge make the product and brand more well-known and
familiar. This contains most of all low-involvement products like sugar, salt, paper towels,
when the knowledge about the brand often makes the buying decision. The positive
association between the number of experience and linking has been shown in studies. The
incentives to this relationship are for example non-figurative pictures, names and jingles.
Substance/commitment can be seen in name awareness which means existence, promise
and matter; things that are important for the buyer. The consumers do not have to know a
lot about the company, but as long as the buyers have positive brand awareness they will
buy the product.
In some cases, the brand awareness and understanding can depend on a buying
situation and do all the effort for consumers in a buying process. The level of brands to
consider is the first level to reach. When buying merchandise is to choose a collection of
trade names to consider - a "consideration set" (Aaker, 1991).
Brand awareness is much about communication. This is how Aaker (1991, p 63)
explains the awareness and recall of a name: "A name is like a special file folder in the
mind which can be filled with name-related facts and feelings. Without such a file readily
accessible in memory, the facts and feelings become misfiled, and cannot be readily
43
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
30/67
accessed when needed." Brand awareness is dependent upon both the situation and the level
of achieved awareness.
Figure Levels of brand awareness:
1. Brand recognition:
This level is the first stage of brand awareness. It is when the consumers can recognize a
specific brand among others; "aided recall". Aided recall can also be explained as a
situation where a set of given brand names from a given product class is shown. The task is
then to identify the recognized names. Brand recognition is major when consumers face the
buying procedure.
2. Brand recall:
This is upon the consumers to name the trademark in a product class. Apart from
level one, this is an "unaided recall" since there are not given any examples of specific
brands. The role of brand recall can also be vital for regularly purchased products like
coffee, detergent, and headache remedies, for which brand decisions usually are made prior
going to the store. Further on, in some categories (such as cereal) there are so many
recognised alternatives that the shopper is overwhelmed.
3. Top of mind:
A brand that is "top of mind" is the first brand that consumers think of within a given
product class (Aaker, 1991). Brand awareness is important since a lot of the consumers feel
that if the brand is well known it has good quality. Most important is not that the brand is
well known, it is what it is known for (Melin, 1999). Further, awareness is a very important
brand advantage, but it cannot sell the product, especially not if the product is new (Aaker,
1991).
In the literature there are many facts that show that brand awareness affects consumer
choice and thereby their choice of brand. Lin and Chang (2003) found by their research that
brand awareness had the strongest effect on purchase decision on habitual behavior of low
44
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
31/67
involvement products. They also wrote that Hoyer and Brown (1990) examined the role
played by brand awareness in consumer decision making process and found that it was a
dominant factor. Likewise, Jiang's (2004) investigation also shows that brand name, in
other words recognition of a brand, has an impact on consumers' choice.
Achieving Brand Awareness
Recognition and recall in attaining awareness, engage two responsibilities: to increase the
brand name identity as well as linking the characteristics to the item. This is in particular
vital when the product is new (Aaker, 1991).
Aaker (1991) has set up the following factors concerning how to achieve brand awareness:
Be different, memorable: Today, many products seem alike and the communication in the
product clusters is related. Therefore, it is important to differentiate the product, although,
the bond between the product class and the brand has to exist for easier recognition.
Involve a slogan or jingle: There can be a stronger linkage between a slogan and a brand
because it involves a visual feature of the brand. By this, the jingle or slogan is powerful
and can make a big change.
Symbol exposure: It is important to have a known symbol, because it is easy to
memorize and recall a visual illustration. A logo, either an already existing one or a
developed one, which is connected to the brand, can take a huge part in forming and
keeping awareness.
Publicity: Advertising is a proficient way to get publicity and make awareness, since it
can be customized to the communication and the addressees.
45
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
32/67
Event sponsorship; The primary role of most event sponsorship is to create or maintain
awareness.
Consider brand extensions: To show the name or the logo on the products, and make the
name more prominent, is one way to increase brand recall. Examples of names that can be
found, promoted, shown and publicized on other products, than the key product, are Coca-
Cola, Heinz and Sunkist.
Using cues: The package is one of the most important cues to a brand, since that is what
the purchaser sees when buying the product. If not knowing the brand or the product, the
only contact to the brand is the package.
Recall requires repetition: It is easier to build up recognition than to build up recall of a
brand. It can be compared to the fact that one can recognize a face of a person but do not
recall the name. Therefore the link between the brand and the product class needs to be
stronger and the brand needs to be more prominent than in the recognition of the brand. To
receive a top of mind recall is even harder.
The recall bonus: To keep a top position through regular publicity creates brand
awareness as well as a strong brand which in turn leads to decreasing recall of competitive
brands.
To achieve brand awareness, it is important to have a special hallmark because it is the
hallmark that consumers recognize. It is easy to mix up consumer brand and corporate
brand with hallmarks. A hallmark makes it possible to identify a brand. A hallmark is not
the same as a symbol because it is much wider. A brand can have several hallmarks. They
are usually divided into six groups:
46
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
33/67
1. Word brand, a name or word for example Coca Cola.
2.Design, Coca Cola's design of the bottle.
3. Sound, the melody of the ice cream truck.
4. Scentodour of products like surf excel
5.Pattern, the square pattern of Burberry.
6. Colour,boxes of film for cameras; Kodak's boxes are yellow while Fuji's are green
(Treffner & Gajland, 2001).

Measuring Brand Awareness
As mentioned above, Keller (2003) claims that brand awareness consists of
recognition and recall and that brand awareness in its turn is a part of brand knowledge. To
measure brand awareness effectively it is important to know where most of the consumer
decisions are made. If many decisions are made at the point of the purchase, where the
brand, logo, packaging etc. are visible, brand recognition measures will be important. If
consumer decisions mostly are made away from the point of purchase the brand recall
measures become more important. The most basic procedure of recognition is to ask the
consumer which one of several listed items they have previously seen or heard of.
There are different measures of brand recall depending on the types of signals given to
the consumers: unaided recall and aided recall, which are described above. It is very
important to be aware ofspurious awareness in measuring brand awareness. It means that
consumers may erroneously claim that they recall something that they really do not and
even claim that they recall something that do not exist (Keller, 2003).
Brand is More Than a Name Attached-to Product
Branding is more than putting a label or identification mark on a product. If it were true than it
would be quite acceptable to put the brand name Coca Cola on a food. Obvious ly, it would be a
misfit. According to Jayant Kochar M.D., Amoreus Retail, 'People buy brands not products, they buy
benefits not features and benefits that make a customer buy are benefit perceived by their heart and
mind and not what the manufacturer may want to believe, i.e., benefit. Thus, one can say that it is
customers who decide the fate of a brand through their perceptions in turn one shaped by the actual of
the brand'.
A genuine brand is one which delivers something extra' i.e., provides added value. This
differentiating 'extra' could be superior functional performance, excellent perceived quality, and
48
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
35/67
excellent services and so on. It is important to remember that a brand should offer something unique so
that it leaves a lasting impression on consumers mind.
Difference between product and brand
The core product is what the company produces. However, to make this product differentiated,
unique and desirable among its target consumers, it surrounds the product with images and creates
different associations, leading to the formation of a unique brand image and positioning in consumers
mind. The more differentiated a brand is in consumers mind, the less likely it is to be replaced by
competing brands. Through brands, companies try to establish a lasting relationship with their
customers, in the process making them brand loyal.
The 'extras' or 'add ones' that differentiate one brand from another include; before and after sales
service, self finance or credit service, guarantees and warranties, consumers perception of quality, value
for money .
BRAND POSITIONING
The idea of a well positioned product/brand has always intrigued companies and brand markets
like. The concept of brand positioning has generated a lot of interest among brand enthusiasts and it is
one branding concept backed by empirical research at paradoxical as it may seem it is one of the most
misunderstood concepts of branding. Positioning invariably has been associated with creating the
desired place for the product/brand in the market. Yet, this definition of positioning is too simplistic.
The concept is far more abstract than it is perceived to be, at first glance.
How ever this does not in any way diminish its importance in brand management as a matter of
fact with increased research activity in the area, the positioning concept is fast becoming an important
branding tool.
49
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
36/67
WHY WE NEED TO POSITION BRANDS
Brand positioning is a comparatively newer concept in branding, though now days it is
considered a necessary task for every brand marketer. In this section we take look at some of the factors
that contribute towards the growth of positioning concept and have fuelled the interest of both
practitioners and market researchers.
Increasing brand commoditization
With the fast pace of change in technology, the ability of brands to sustain a different-advantage
(especially attribute or service based) is becoming more and more difficult When all brands suffer from
'similarity' or 'me-too* syndrome, it becomes very difficult. for consumers to make a choice. As
celebrated writer Naomi Klein opines in herbook 'No Logo' that all brands are similar, therefore, they
should be treated as commodities, hence-no logo. Without a tangible and relevant basis for
differentiation no brand will be able to make its presence felt in the market.
More sophisticated consumers
Easy access to mass media and opening up of new avenues such as digital and interactive media
including internet has made the consumers more aware, "knowledgeable and sophisticated. This
phenomenon is supported by increase in .literacy levels around the world and rise of consumerism.
Consumers awareness "regarding their rights have increased tremendously and correspondingly their
expectations have also arisen. The level of consumer sophistication has also increased due to growth in
the number of choices available, partly a result of an increase in size of organized retail sector and
growth of private labels. Therefore, a brand has to position itself distinctively in the customer's mind by
providing distinct advantage that is both meaningful and relevant for the modern, more demanding
consumers.
50
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
37/67
Increase in brand clutter and stiffer competition
Every product category has many brands competing for the same target segment.Thus every
segment has a large number of brands for customers to choose from. In the absence of any clear brand
benefit/advantage, there is little to motivate the consumer to buy a specific brand. The increased ' brand
clutter' is also blatantly visible in mass -media advertisements. With a variety of brands offering similar
products to consumers the only basis of differentiation that many offer is, 'the advertising. To stand out
from the clutter many advertisements are designed to capture attention rather than communicate brand
benefits turning commercials into means of entertainment
BRAND CUSTOMER RELATION SHIP:
The relationship between brand and customers is a complex one. The purpose of brand
marketing is more than attraction, acquisition and retention of customers. It is necessary to build a long-
term relationship between brand and customer as it is portable for both the parties. While building a
long-term relationship with customers ensures a steady stream of income, a consistent market base and,
stability in share market, for the company. For consumers, besides the utilitarian value of having to
dispense with the time and money spend in searching for new brands, there are other social and
emotional values that brands provide. A meaningful relationship is one where in both the customers and
the brand provides value to each other. Customers view brands as a means of self expression and hence
brands need to exploit the idea by developing closer links with its target audience, who share similar
values and beliefs
Loyalty and faithfulness are just one aspect of brand customer relationship and signal a servile
attitude of customers towards brands. This is not always the case, infarct many a times the relationship
between brand and customer is more like that of a friend or an advisor. For instance Perk, establishes a
fun and friendly sort of relationship with its customers. Amicable Preity Zinta with her usual bubbly
51
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
38/67
self personifies the brand which foodries the tag line 'Kahin bhi, kabhi bhi'. Kotak finance
communicates its accommodating and adaptive advisors' image through its commercials promising
personalized financial advice.
BRAND LOYALITY
All brand marketers want their brands to command a high degree of brand loyalty the desire of
having a large set of brand loyal customers is ultimately linked to long term profitability of the brand. It
is a well-know fact that profits accrue mainly due to repeat purchases and brand loyal customers are
known to make frequent purchases of their favorite brands, leading to a steady stream of profits from
comparatively lesser outlays on advertising and promotions. But with thousands of brands vying for
consumers limited mind space, achieving this elusive level of brand loyalty seems to be QUITE
impossible. Yet brands have large brand following and in certain cases customers refuse to buy any
other brand in case the desired brand is not available. This chapter examines and analyzes the cause of
brand loyalty and the strategy for and means of nurturing and developing loyalty among consumers
WHAT IS BRAND LOYALITY
The term brand loyalty refers to the repeat purchase made by the consumer out of commitment
to the brand.
Brand loyality is a measure of the attachment that a customer has a brand.
Hierarchy of brand loyalty
At the first level of hierarchy are the brand indifferent or non-committed customers. For them, the
choice of brand simply depends upon price, availability, convenience and even sales promotions offers.
The second level consists of the habitual customers. These are the buyers who continue to repurchase
the brand because it provides at least the basic level of satisfaction and there is no great incentive for
them TO change to a new brand. For example, a habituated customer goes to the general store every
52
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
39/67
month and buys six bars of Lux Soap, simply because, the house hold requires six toilet soaps in a
month and he/she always buys the same brand of soap never considering any other brand available at
the store.
The third level comprises of customers who are satisfied with their current brand may incur
additional i.e., switching costs (in terms of time and money or functional performance risk), while
shifting to a new brand. Only when the benefits offered sufficiently large to cover these additional costs,
will the customer take the risk of switching to the new brand.
At the fourth level are the customers who are genuinely delighted by the brand. The brand has delivered
more benefits than expected and hence the customer has a reason to give preference to the brand. The
customers linking for the brand has helped build a relationship between the two. For the delighted
customers, the brand is like a friend who can be trusted and relied upon and switchingof brands is like
leaving old friends for new ones ; evidently not a very desirable option.
At the highest level are the devoted customers, who display greatest commitment towards the
brand. For them, the association with the brand is a matter of pride and they usually act as brand
advocates. This set of customers considers the brand as means of self-expression and it forms a part of
their personality. For the company, the devoted customers are like private marketing and brand building
unitsthat actively recommended the brand to fellow consumers.
BRAND REVITALIZATION
Even the strongest brands loose their sheen, with the passage of time. These brands may be
under performing but not extinct and with a little bit of redirection and refocusing they may still emerge
as a force to reckon with. The effort to infuse a new life into a dying brand is referred to as
revitalization. It is not just an attempt to increase turnover or provide support to the ailing brand rather it
is a sustained effort to increase brand's equity and create a new image and positioning for the brand it
also involves creating a new set of associations and perceptions regarding the brand expanding brand
consumer base.
53
7/31/2019 Brand Awareness Towards Heritage Fooods-60-15
40/67
Trade off between brand revitalization and new brand creations
As is evident, the cost of revitalization is comparatively lesser than that of establishing a new
brand. Also, it requires lesser time to implement and foodries lower risk for example, while targeting
new segments, the emphasis remains on retaining loyal customers, thus making the entire exercise Jess
risky. However, there is a need to be cautious when under taking revitalization through brand extension,
since the action should reinforce or have a positive effect on the parent brand and should not just exploit
its existing (remaining) equity.
WHY BRANDS TURN OLD
Like human being, brands also have a life cycle that is they are born (i.e. created/ launched in
the market), grow up and reach adulthood, (i.e. growth stage of a brand). Brands also have a middle age
(the maturity period) when the growth has nearly stopped and though the position is. not bad for the
moment, it is well known that the only way is down hill. These mature brands are big names, well
established, having high brand equity but not much scope for growth. With a bit of introspection
redirecting and refocusing the brand can occupy its desired position in the market and receive the
much-required impetus for growth.

41/67
BRAND REVITITALIZATION SCENARIOS
Revitalization can take place in two scenarios. These are :-
Scenario-l
When the brand to be recreated is practically dead: revitalization process is like starting
from scratch. The only remnant of the past in this case is the basic awareness of the brand name, which
company can make use of. Since most customers would not have any image or associations with the
brand, new associations and images could be created. Thus it is similar to the launch of a new brand
albeit with lower advertising and promotion cost.
Scenario -II
When the brand is under performing but not extinct: In this case the process of
revitalization begins with an understanding of the DNA or core value of the brand, it involves
framework for establishing a vision and mission for the brand as a theme and focus on defining its
intended area of core competence and the values that will build a bond with the customer'. To establish
such a framework a 'bench marking exercise could be undertaken, where the best practices of any brand
either in that category or any other is compiled. Later such practices are ranked and the key practices
that an 'ideal' brand in the category should follow are identified acts as a benchmark for the brand.
Keeping this in mind, possible means of recovery can be found. It is important to note that in such
situations any new image or positioning of the brand should not be radically different from old one,
since there is still high level of brand awareness and a small, yet loyal customer base, which may
become hostile is case of drastic image make over. To revitalize the brand successfully, the company
should use the core brand as a 'source of symbolization and this image should be reflected in the
recreated brand. The strategy for revitalization is based on understanding the brand identity - what it
stands for and leveraging it to relaunch the brand.

Suggestions
HERITAGE has good recognition and recall rate but it is not on the top of the mind of all the
respondents. Thus it is clear that it still has scope in creating awareness. It can be attained by
aggressive advertisement and dominate the ads of other brands with Unique advertisements.
As majority of the respondents feel that advertisement plays a major role in motivating and it is
the driving factor in buying a product, thus it is essential to concentrate on advertisement to
increase their market share.
From the survey it is clear that all the models are not equally aware in the market, this is because
of the impact of the previous model produced, i.e. if a model produced by HERITAGE becomes
very successful then the successive model is left unaware by most of the people as their
concentration is on the successful model, to over come this problem, HERITAGE has to use
various means to communicate the people about the new model, some of such means are, Event
sponsorships, and using Sports men as Brand ambassadors etc..
As on the whole opinion of respondent about HERITAGE is very good, it needs to maintain it
with good Service, Reliabity.
