Measuring Product Market Profitability

There is cost system within the organization that enables financial managers to determine whether certain brand communication have better margins than others and receive better service development that will help Walters for example to, evaluate whether a marginal service could become profitable if the volume increased Aside, there should analyze the service mix profile and come up with a profit and loss for growth upon upgrading brand processes (1998). The manufacturers may choose to provide how to imply its branding power even if it's not profitable through strategic brand management plan as non-profitability could be a service's contribution to positive reserves and yet help enhance organization’s brand image for future growth.





The development of a new communication channel for instance, may improve the flow of customer satisfaction and give referrals for using the products. There should evaluate the strategic fit between the service and the organization's mission. It then must develop better revenue and contribution forecasts as the management must asses what brand communication affects the service and determine whether such project meets the brand management objectives. ( 1998 )

Market and Brand Investment

To be successful with its brand management plan, Walters for instance, if entering to the HK market for their crisp snacks needs to apply marketing skills to attract and retain customers as well as patients, public relations efforts should be formulated and targeted to identify markets. Unduly restricted or limited marketing efforts can hinder the success of brand communication management and its role in useful strategic brand planning (1991). Moreover, despite the risk of stifling their marketing programs' effectiveness, many hospitals cut marketing budgets because they do not see the area as a revenue generator, in order to counter this perception is to treat marketing as an investment that should be tracked, measured and evaluated for reasonable returns as well as the need to pare down their approaches to audience segments for the usage of specific brand and communication services. ( 1991)





The process involves identifying the concerns of a target group by customer service and or brand identity and develop useful message to reach those individuals through appropriate media. For example, Walters firm can develop a marketing campaign for creative product brand message that has connection to the HK consumers probably, touching a bit of the country's culture. ( 1991) Furthermore, consistent marketing campaign, tied to the strategic plan, should motivate potential consumers of the product as it increases in volume as cost effectiveness of marketing strategies need have to undergo analysis. (1990) An integrated program of marketing and strategic planning balances qualitative and quantitative analyses with sound use of reliable analytical techniques and careful planning are markers of brand planning success. Thus, building strength of brand, there can develop global campaign to coordinate efforts among various business partners, collection techniques and marketing strategies. ( 1990 p. 40) Businesses with strong brands have much to lose as well as gain, as the stakes rise as the donors must decide when and where to contribute and establish a reputation for competence in the minds of HK consumers. Furthermore, to identify the issues it must deal with to ensure growth and development and then adopt a strong brand communication system as there is a significant difference between brand strategy and mid to long-term management planning: the brand strategy is drawn up based on future goals, while brand management planning is carried out based on the current situation of the organization. (1993)
