Ques 1. A leading FMCG player is focusing on the management of its brand portfolio. It intends to leverage the market by focusing on brand extension. As a brand manager strategize a suitable brand extension strategy with appropriate justification (10 Marks)

Ans 1.

 

Introduction

 

Brand extension in my view is a useful strategy that involves the use of the reputation of the existing brand for promoting a new product or service. Unlike rebranding in which an entrepreneur has to completely re-define the company, a brand extension is building an identity purely on the already established image of the company.

 

With the strategies of brand extension, a company appeals to new audiences by using its already established image. Through brand extension, I will strategise that my firm will use all the pre-existing authority it has built in the industry, and

 

 

Ques 2. Assume any new product launch in the hospitality industry & create a positioning strategy for the brand keeping in mind its target audience & the services offered  (10 Marks)

Ans 2.

The company got a noted singer to do the promotional video & conducted a door to door promotion campaign. Polar spent substantial sums of money on advertising & marketing. The pricing of the product was justified to ₹1200 & made metro towns its target market. Despite all this, COOL CATS sold barely a few thousand pieces. Polar investigated why the sales did not take off.

 

Questions:

a. In which elements of the marketing mix of cool cats ceiling fans did the Polar industry go wrong? Justify your answer with the logical assumption (5 Marks)

Ans 3a.

 

Introduction

At the very start, the concept of marketing mix needs to be carefully understood, because COOL CATS has taken all the constituting measures of the marketing mix, but a few of them have not been appropriately addressed to. As per the case study briefing, the company has tried its best to promote its product but has failed, so let us glance over the 4Ps of the marketing mix it has employed.

 

 

Ques 3b. If you were appointed as a Brand Manager, what suggestions would you give to the polar industry to increase the sales of COOL CATS fans? (5 Marks)

Ans 3b.

 

Introduction

As a brand manager, I have to introspect the different merits and demerits of the COOL CATS. If I talk about the meritorious steps the companies like Nike, Kardashians, and Apple have taken in common that is I have to make sure my brand's products and services and even the people’s resonating. Of course, I find the placement of the COOL CATS' ceiling fan is not that much convincing as it should have been in the company's marketing policy. This apart, I have to look into many other factors that I want to illustrate here below:- 

 

As a brand manager, I will be responsible
