Products Vs BrandsProf. Deepak Pore

Companies Make Products and Consumers Make Brands

Products Can Be Copied and Replaced but

Brands Are Unique and hard/impossible to copy

Products Can Become Obsolete but Brands Can Be Timeless

(Products can be replaced by other products because it becomes obsolete over time. In contrast to this, brands are forever.)

Products Are Instantly Meaningful but Brands Become Meaningful over Time.

Products perform a function. Brands offer an emotion/value.

(A product performs its general functions, but a brand offers value to the customers.)

A product is tangible or intangible in nature. However, a

brand is intangible it can only be experienced.

Product marketing differentiates your products from other products. Brand marketing differentiates your customers from other customers.

Consumers may need a product,

Consumers will want a brand.

Example I may need a cup of coffee,

but I personally want to get it at CCD.
