Definition of “brand”
“Simply put, a brand is a promise. By identifying and authenticating a product or service, it delivers a promise of satisfaction and quality."
Walter Landor, guru of the advertising industry
Brand management issues.
A strong brand is the most valuable asset (property,
plus) of successful companies.
Brands are assets because, when properly
managed, they provide a secure flow of income
(revenue, profits) for the business.
Branded Goods
A high quality branded product is perceived by consumers as being clearly better than competing products.
Therefore, it generates consumer preference and loyalty
Producer/Product Identification
Where markets are larger, complicated and
national or global, the identity or image
recognised by customers transfers from
person to product. No longer accompanied
by the producer, the product has to speak
for itself.
BRAND IDENTITY BRAND IMAGE
B. Image: The perception of your product or your brand
by the consumer.
B. Identity: How you want the consumer to perceive your
product or your brand.
Companies try to bridge the gap between the brand
image and the brand identity. HOW??Attracting the initial attention and recognition of customers, to
differentiate the product from rivals, and to make favourable
associations:
“this car/aftershave/shirt will make you attractive to women”.
Any symbol, such as a word, number, picture, design, scent or sound used by manufacturers or merchants to identify their own goods and distinguish them from goods made or sold by others. It is a legal concept.

A Trade Mark which is registered gives the right to use the ® symbol and a much greater degree of certainty.
A registered Trade Mark gives the owner monopoly rights to stop others using the Mark (or a similar Mark) in relation to goods/services which are identical or similar to the owner's goods/services.
What is the difference between trademarks and brands?
A trademark is a legal concept.
Brand is the difference between a bottle of soda and a bottle of coke, the personal memories and cultural associations that orbit around a product.
A brand is a promise. A brand is a collection of perceptions in the mind of consumers.
THE LEGAL TERM FOR BRAND IS TRADEMARK
