Power Of Name Brands
Authored by , on Nov 04, 2011
How powerful are name brands when shopping for yourself or buying gifts? Is it the name that’s most important or quality and reliability?
People often buy brand-name products over their generic alternatives for fairly obvious reasons. They may trust high-end brands more, or feel that using them conveys to others a sense of their own taste, coolness, or affluence. Purchasing name brand items as gifts will mark them out to the gift recipient as someone of discerning taste!
From celebrity plugs to magazine spreads to in-store displays, companies employ a variety of measures to boost brand recognition and entice customers.
Here is an excerpt from an interesting article about brand names from Greg Botelho,
CNN New York...
If it’s Energizer, it’s that cool, drum-beating bunny that keeps on going and going and going. If it’s Wal-Mart, it’s everything you need at low prices. If it’s Saks Fifth Avenue, it’s high class, all the way.
Something to think about...

And if it’s holiday shopping season, especially when your list is long and time is short, it’s a reality: Brand names, and the messages behind them, do matter.
For cynical consumers, "branding" is style over substance, with companies using the media to manipulate minds to maximize sales. But experts insist that branding need not be a dirty word, particularly if smart shoppers use it to their advantage.
