Mercedes used the VALS to reposition its CLA model after its award-winning but ineffective television campaign

failed to result in higher sales. Using VALS, the company targeted a new "rebellious" consumer group with a new

Product Branding

combination of name, words, symbols, or design that identifies the product and its source and distinguishes it

from competing products.

Without brands, consumers couldn’t tell one product from another.

Why do you prefer Branded Products?

For consumers, brands offer instant recognition. They also promise consistent, reliable standards of quality, taste, size, or even psychological satisfaction, which adds value to the

product for both the consumer and the manufacturer.

Companies must maintain consistency in their message by integrating all their marketing communications - from packaging and advertising to sales promotion and publicity - to maintain and reinforce

the brand's personality in a real-life context.

Product packaging

Packaging may be a brand's one differential advantage-and it's the marketer's last chance to communicate at

the point of sale. Package designers must make the package

Exciting, Appealing, and Functional.
