BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Brand name is a name given to a product which can be vocalized or pronounced and services to distinguish it from others. Brand mark is that part of a brand show in front of sign, symbol, letter, design which are not alterable. A trademark is a brand mark or a brand name with legal protection. No other seller is given the right to use a trademark except the registered owner.

For trademark law the seller is granted exclusive right to use of the brand name in perpetuity. These brands differ from other assets such as patents and copyright which have expiration data.

A brand is essentially a seller’s promise to consistently deliver a specific set of features, benefits and services to the buyers. The best brand conveys a warranty of quality. But a brand is even a more complex symbol. A brand can convey up to six levels of meaning.

Attrisutes: A brand first brings to mind certain attributes.

Benefits: A brand is more than a set of attributes customers are not buying attributes; they are buying benefits.

Values: The brand also says something about the producer’s values.

Culture: The brand may represent a certain culture.

User: The brand suggests the kind of consumer who buys or uses the product.

If a company treats a brand only as a name, it misses the point of branding. The challenge in branding is to develop a deep set of meanings for the brand. When the audience can visualize all six dimensions of brand is deeps otherwise it is shallow.
