DEFINING PRODUCT AND BRAND FAILURES

The withdrawal of the product from the market for any reason

The inability of a product to realize the required market share to sustain its presence in the market

The inability of a product to achieve the anticipated life cycle as defined by the organization due to any reason

The ultimate failure of a product to achieve profitability.

Why Brand fails:

Brand deception: When Brands try to cover

deficiencies of the brand with marketing.

Brand Amnesia: When a brand forgets what it is supposed to stand for. It occurs when a venerable, long-standing brand tries to create a radical new identity

Brand ego: Brands sometimes develop a tendency for over-estimating their own importance, and capability. This is evident when a brand believes it can support a market

Brand Megalomania: When brands want to take over the world by expanding into every product category imaginable.

Brand fatigue: Brand is old and no change is made

Brand paranoia: This is when a brand faces increased competition and doesn’t know what to do.

Brand irrelevance: When a market radically evolves, the brands associated with it risk becoming irrelevant and obsolete.
