Brand Portfolio

Case : The Japanese Giants

?

Concept, practice and techniques of branding – very different from West Successful brand is king, individual products and lines have often played second fiddle Corporate logos Frequent purchasing and ever shifting trends in Japanese society – shorter PLC’s Quick turnover Not enough time to develop individual brand identities

Too many brands in too many segments: there may be too many brands in relation to consumer needs, retailer space and company ability to promote Duplication and overlap Gaps in priority market segments Inefficiencies in operations and the supply chain Diffused and therefore ineffective resource allocation.
