Real Estate Marketing slogans arouses interest in your audience and can be the vehicle that helps establish your "name brand" and invigorate your real estate career.

Real estate marketing slogans don't have to be over intellectualized to create huge "brand names."

For example, Century 21, ERA, ; Coldwell Banker are national and/or regional real estate companies whose corporate names serve as their "real estate marketing slogans".

Creating A Slogan!

So, create your own unique, real estate marketing slogan; then publicize it heavily; freely and/or inexpensively, but heavily.

Real Estate Marketing Slogans; A Brand Of One


The science of creating and managing these brand names is called brand management. Given the importance of brand names in virtually all marketing campaigns, it is important for companies to handle the process of choosing and evaluating brand names carefully. A brand selection process typically involves numerous brand suggestions before a final brand name is decided. The concept of brand management hinges on the use of marketing techniques that would optimize brand recognition. Lastly, brand equity can be assessed based on the general attitude of consumers toward a particular brand name. Brand evaluation is crucial in effective brand management. Some of the more common metrics used in measuring a brand are brand perception, brand financial value and brand performance.

Small and large businesses alike know how important brand equity is in today’s overcrowded market. It is the value of your brand to the customer.

Brand equity stems from the customer’s experiences with your product or service.

TO WHAT EXTENT BRAND EXTENSIONS Might Raise BRAND LOYALTY? APPLICATION TO LUXURY WOMEN'S WEAR AND ACCESSORIES Industry: THE TOD'S CASE

Marketing To Attract More Clients - How Brand Centric Is Your Marketing Plan?

Marketing To Attract More Clients - How Brand Centric Is Your Marketing Plan?


I. Brand Extensions

Brand extensions increase the consumer perceived value of the brand. For successful brand extensions, consumers have to be able to perceive high fit between the extended product and the core brand. Other variables are involved in leveraging brand image in brand extensions as communication policy (Pina and Montaner 2009), brand type and cultural differences (Buil, De Chernatony and Hem 2009). In addition, Kapferer's model based on brand types demonstrates the importance for the brand to have a high brand meaning more adaptable and reliable into other categories.

Most brand extensions occur as line extensions, which use the existing brand names and products and extend them remaining in the existing product category.

A very interesting one which moves in brand extensions field is "Extending the brand: controllable drivers of feedback effects" by Montaner and Pina (2009). This paper seeks to analyse the influence of three variables: communication policy, brand breadth and extension-brand fit. The results show that brand extensions far from the current markets damage the brand associations, although the use of advertising focused on the new product can reduce this negative effect. The results suggest how to manage the launching of brand extensions in order to protect the extended brand image. moreover, Buil, de Chernatony and Hem with "Brand extension strategies: perceived fit, brand type, and culture influences" (2009) examined the impact of perceived fit, brand type and country's culture on the consumers' attitude towards brand extensions and on the parent brand equity. Brand extensions with high fit receive more favourable consumer evaluations and decrease the negative feedback effects of extensions on parent brand equity. Results also reveal that parent brand equity dilution is higher when the brand used to launch the extension has high equity. Brand Loyalty

High brand loyalty could be identified in the case of high purchase frequency, high penetration rate, when the price is higher than average in the category, when it refers to a leader brand. Very interesting for my research is Kapferer's Brand Loyalty model, which introduces as dimension of brand loyalty the trial of brand extensions next to brand presence and single product repeated purchase.

"Customer satisfaction and loyalty: start with the product, culminate with the brand" written by Torres-Moraga, Vasquez-Parraga and Zamora-Gonzalez (2008) enhances that studies on customer satisfaction and loyalty have focused on brand rather than product. It is not that brand is not important, but the process of loving a brand starts with a product. Customers appreciate products by themselves, independent of the brand, as shown in their pursuit of satisfaction and development of loyalty. The relationship satisfaction-loyalty is also present when evaluating product and brand combined, indicating that there is an intermediate position between product and brand. There are practical consequences of applying the typology and examining the findings, the relationship satisfaction-loyalty starts with the product, includes the product-brand, and culminates with the brand. This study introduces a typology underscoring the pursuit of satisfaction and development of loyalty in three conditions of product presence versus brand presence, that is, product alone, brand alone, and product and brand combined.

To what extent Brand Extensions might increase Brand Loyalty?

The trend is changing and it is no more the brand who validates the Consumer but the Consumer who validates the brand.

As a matter of fact, many leading luxury goods companies have been applying extension strategies such as new product lines, product categories, and brand names.

;Researches on non-luxury brands have shown that a major contribution of extensions is the enhancement of brand awareness. It means that brand extensions could damage the brand image of luxury brands, as these brands may be seen as widely available and accessible to the majority of people. For the actual Customers Brand Extensions for Luxury Brands improves Brand Awareness, however the Brand Loyalty could be damaged, since the brand lose his prestigious.






















(1) the perceived fit between the parent brand and the extension; and

(2) the characteristics of the parent brand used for the extension.

Similarly, an extension with good fit may reinforce parent brand equity dimensions such as brand image (Zimmer and Bhat, 2004). When the firm launches a new product consistent with the parent brand, consumers perceive higher fit between the products associated to the brand and the extension. Likewise, high fit extensions may result in consumers buying more products of the brand (Swaminathan et al., 2001), facilitate parent brand categorisation (Morrin, 1999), and strengthen the awareness of the original brand through the brand extensions increasing the brand's visibility (Aaker, 1991).

Proposition: Brand extensions for Luxury Brands improves the Brand Loyalty if the perceived fit of the extended category is high.

Since Tod's is universally known at first for his core product, shoes, the author wanted to know if the respondents were usual to buy the pre-existing brand extensions of the Brand of our interest, such as bags and other accessories. Here multiple answers were possible, all of them related to the core value of Tod's and in general of Luxury Brand as: Easy chic style and design, Quality, Elegant and Classic mood, Comfort, Luxury Brand, "it is fashion".

Thanks to this observation, it was found out that ;luxury Customers are always waiting for new brand extensions from the Brand they like more and they are wondering about the reasons why these products are still not existing in "their" Brand's range of products. The respondents are usual to share their Brand purchase, within the range of offered products, dedicating a 61,5% to the core Tod's product that are shoes, but this product comes out from 96 answers out of 100 respondents, a very relevant value since this means that the oldest Tod's product is highly deep-rooted amongst Tod's client. The "fashion" status seems not to be relevant for the majority when purchasing Tod's products, but they take in consideration the fact to buy; a Luxury Brand. Anyway the respondents considered them fashion and attribute them a Luxe status mainly thanks to the Brand Tod's core values.

As already enhanced, rarely researches were conducted on brand extensions for Luxury Brand, this means that the field has already to be discovered with its several aspects.

Much research can be done in the areas of both brand extensions and brand loyalty for luxury brands, as research in this area has only scratched the surface so far. So that it would be possible to identify further factors that facilitate successful brand extensions and that improve brand loyalty.

Moving in this context, the research have shown the relevance of two variables in order to reinforce the link between brand extensions and brand loyalty: a high fit which always refers to the degree of proximity between parent brand and the extension that consumers perceive; and the importance for the Brand to have a strengthened and broad core that let the Brand evolve gradually in extended brand.

So here are the basics of creating a brand for your podcast.

Podcast Name

If you haven't chosen a podcast name yet, here are a few recommendations to consider.

Your podcast name should tie into your podcast topic somehow. If you are podcasting about quilting it makes no sense to call your podcast the SuperNova Podcast. If you are going to register your own domain for your website then you will want to pick a name for your podcast for which the website domain is still available. If your podcast is titled The SuperNova Podcast but that domain is already taken and so you register you are going to confuse your audience and there will be a disconnect there. It would be a better option just to rename your podcast AstronomyCast.

Call your podcast AstronomyCast, and have your tagline be - SuperNovas, Black Holes and More...

Color Scheme

I can't stress enough how important the color scheme for your podcast is. If you aren't color coordinated, surf the web and check out the sites you frequent. Offer to link back to their website if they have one and mention them in your podcast.

Website

In regards to your brand, think of your website as the face of your podcast.

Podcast Description

You should develop a brief description for your podcast, shoot for 160 characters or less. So spend some time planning, brainstorming and building your brand.

Building Your Podcast Brand


So if you want to market your business brand, use the available selections of marketing tactics and do not be afraid to innovative.
