The Evolution of Store Brands

“Many store brands are moving away from
the copycats to their own brand
identification, and shoppers are now aware
enough of store brand quality
that they don’t have to rely on copycat
(packaging) for accidental sales.” Brian Rafferty, Brand Union

Integrated Mobile Marketing Facts
200+ Million Americans carry mobile phones
– over half the country’s population.
Cell phones are used by over 3.1 billion people globally.

40% of Major Brands have deployed text messaging (SMS) campaigns.
18% of Major Brands have deployed multimedia messaging (MMS) campaigns.

The Mobile Marketing and Advertising market will be valued
at over $5 billion by 2012.

In August 2007, nearly 40 million US Consumers received SMS advertisements,
and 12 percent responded to them.



Mobile Marketing Trends for 2010
1. Text message marketing goes mainstream
2. Texting will be offered by local media
3. Retailers will move beyond mobile marketing to enhance the overall
shopping experience.
4. Smartphone applications will create new ways to engage customers.
5. Optimized mobile web sites become affordable and customized.



Augmented Reality
Picks up where Virtual Reality
leaves off, but without the bulky
glasses. At the outset, this
technology looks like it will fall
into the category of
entertainment and information
to produce things like three-
dimensional maps, store
locators, travel guides, etc.



Interactive Codes and Two-Dimensional Barcodes
These are all about consumer interaction and giving consumers
more opportunities to interact with brands. Participation in
Loyalty Programs, Instant redeemable couponing, etc. are all
part of the mix.


Key Take-Aways



Key Take Aways

“If people feel a strong emotional
connection with a brand, they will remain
loyal. But, squeezed by economic
uncertainty, that emotional connection
gets tested, strained even. To maintain –
and strengthen – this connection through
a recession, companies must remain
dedicated to building their brand.” Warren Baxter



Stick to Your Long-Term Goals.

1. Deviating from your brand strategy by
running “urgency” campaigns designed
to create quick sales may help short-term
cash flow, but loyal customers may view
it as cheapening your offer to the market.



Maintain or Increase Your Marketing Budget.

2. When the market goes quiet, successful
Brands typically increase their presence
with strong branding activities.



Be Authentic. Don’t Dilute Your Brand.

3. Focus your company’s efforts on
maintaining or increasing its brand presence
in an authentic manner that is consistent
with its promise to the consumer. If your
brand is about luxury and exclusivity,
offering low-end products to attract more
buyers will only decrease consumers’
perceived value of your brand.


Think Beyond Advertising.

4. Branding covers all of the touch points
between your business and your
customer, from your direct mail to
packaging to website to office and retail
environment. Every touch point is part of
your brand – Consider how changes in
your company’s activities and structure
may affect your customers.


Deliver on Your Brand Promise.

5. A recession is an emotional time –
consumers need reassurance that they
are making the right choices. If your
marketing activities create mistrust by
under-delivering on their expectations of
your brand, consumers may switch to a
safer alternative.



Key Take-Aways

“At times like this, people are more
particular about where they spend their
money. A company’s brand is its promise,
as assurance of the best choice – any lack
of authenticity or failure to deliver on that
promise diminishes the brand and has
direct financial implications” World Advertising Research Center
