MANAGING BRANDS OVER GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES & MARKET SEGMENTS Chapter 14 Scope of Boundaries Globalization Regionalization Localization Scope of Boundaries Regionalization MNC’s tend to believe that all Asian markets are the same (Asia Pacific Rim). Comparative analysis shows that consumers in Japan, Korea and China differ in Brand Orientations Attitude towards domestic and foreign products Quality and price perception Product feature preferences Regionalization Hispanic market in the US comprises of 11 nationalities The subtle intracultural differences need to be understood and accounted for Why Go Global??? Economies of Scale Lower costs from higher volume Experience curve Lower marketing costs Uniformity in 4 P’s Corporate global brand like Sony enjoys this Power and Scope Communicates credibility High perceived quality Consistency in image Leverage good ideas Risks in Going Global Differences in consumer needs wants and usage of products Consumer response to marketing mix Brand and product development in competitive environment Legal environment Standardization vs. Customization Marketers are not only thinking of marketing to one single market Hence companies tend to follow the ‘glocal approach’ going by the mantra of ‘think globally and act locally’ This requires integration in product, packaging, brand name and advertising styles Simple Example “…to Brazilians, beer is a soft drink; to Germans, good beer is the one that is locally brewed; to the English, lager beer is a new product; to Americans, beer is a boy meets girl drink; and to Australians, beer is a man’s drink” Standardization vs. Customization Although standardization of branding strategies results in economies of scale and message consistency, due to the significant differences in consumers, culture and socioeconomic status, a customised approach to the local/national market is worth the extra expense What is a Global Brand • Global brand has been defined as “those that use the same marketing strategy or mix in all target markets” • whilst another group defines them as “one that consumers can find under the same name in multiple countries with generally similar and centrally coordinated marketing activities”. Implications The wide scope of interpretations of global branding can be seen in the disparity of the definitions. One mentions same strategies in all markets whilst the other talks about similar strategies in multiple markets. This shows that there is no single way of defining global brands and there may be a multiple variations prevailing within the spectrum. Although many companies are tempted to follow the footsteps of global brands like IBM and Sony, in reality, there are only a few successful companies that are truly standardized Why Follow ‘Glocal Approach’ Consumer Kaleidoscope Wake up and smell the ‘Thai Tacos’ Brand Values Discuss McDonalds Example Corporate vs Product Brands Regional Branding Shield against anti-branding attacks
