How to Manage Heritage Brands: The Case of Sleeping Beauties Revival

Author(s):  
Delphine Dion

Many luxury brands place their heritage at the core of their brand value proposition and identity. This chapter analyses heritage brand management by focussing on a specific business issue—the revival of sleeping beauties. Sleeping beauties are brands that are no longer active on the market but still have potential brand equity that can be conjured up in the minds of consumers by rearticulating their heritage. The chapter presents three branding strategies used to revive a sleeping beauty: brand revitalisation, brand copying, and retrobranding. These strategies differ in the way they associate the brand with its past and heritage. Finally, the chapter investigates three issues that play a key role in the success of a brand revival: brand awareness on the market before revival, heritage reinterpretation, and heritage authentication.

An overview of mobile's impact on branding strategy expands from discussion of chronological ages of branding to mobile's effects on the brand management function. The latter are structured around four steps of the brand management process, including planning and brand positioning, implementing branding strategies, measuring and analyzing performance of a brand, and sustaining brand equity over time and across geographic markets. With a focus on cross-platform branding and establishment of seamless mobile experience, the chapter explores various aspects of mobile's influence on branding. A strategic view on the mobile-first approach that permeates all aspects of the branding process from logo design to brand equity measurement is accompanied with real-life applications. Best practices illustrate changing perspectives in branding and include examples of how new technologies like iBeacon and augmented reality are used by leading brands. Examples are drawn from recent academic and industry studies in business and management with links to classic brand management literature.

Tourist engagement in marketing activities for destinations has been seen as a new driving force for the sustainable development of such destinations and as an effective way to improve their brand equity. Based on the theory of value co-creation and the theory of consumer-based brand equity for destinations, this paper examines the antecedents of brand engagement and the causal paths among them and compares the estimated values of different paths with brand image, brand awareness, and brand quality as the independent variables; brand value and brand trust as the mediating variables; and brand engagement as the dependent variable, taking Shandong Province as an example. The final results show that brand image, brand awareness, and brand quality are all key antecedents of brand engagement; however, they play different roles. The total effect of brand quality is the largest, the total effect of brand awareness follows, and the total effect of brand image is the smallest. Furthermore, the mediating effect of brand value is larger than the mediating effect of brand trust. The results provide empirical support for promoting the management of brand equity for similar destinations and encouraging tourists to participate in value co-creation activities.

Preparation for marketing and implementation of exchange goods and services require branding strategies to be built. Effective branding can lend a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. An enterprise needs to determine how to conceive of brand strategy, set up brand extensions and determine the dimensions of brand equity. To understand the factors shaping branding strategies, marketers must understand where, how much and in what way brand value is created. Success or failure depend on continuously monitoring the effectiveness of branding strategies and the appropriate use of brand extension, brand equity and opportunities that appear on markets.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to integrate brand equity into companies’ overall risk assessment by suggesting a methodology of evaluating the relevant aspects of brand risk. Design/methodology/approach Based on a theoretical framework which discriminates between brand assets, brand strength and brand value, this paper set two alternative directions that can be followed to assess brand risk: a financial direction, which accounts on brand value, and a marketing direction, which stresses on brand assets and brand strength. Following the latter one, this paper provides mathematical formulas which contain specific factors of volatility that can be integrated in a future scoring system. Findings This paper proposes four major risks that need to be considered when evaluating brand assets risk: reputational risk, presence risk, loyalty risk and halo effect risk. This paper provides an evaluation methodology for each one. In addition, a 12-step implementation model is proposed as a managerial guideline for integrating brand risk in the companies’ risk management. Originality/value This paper emphasizes the importance of considering brand equity as a potential source of risk and thus integrating it into risk management. Also, we continue Abrahams’ pioneer work on adding risk literacy into brand management.

Objective: This study intends to operationalize brand equity and form a standard measure of it that could be used across cosmeceutical products to measure brand equity. It attempts to provide an indication of a set of items that can contribute to brand equity.Methods: A survey instrument containing the said brand equity concept was administered to a sample pool of 200 select beauticians and consumers of a leading Indian Cosmeceutical brand identified using stratified random sampling method, from among the universe of the users of the product in Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu.Results: The results obtained confirm that the dimensions, viz., brand awareness, perceived quality, brand loyalty, brand association, and brand image were found to significantly contribute to brand equity in cosmeceutical products. The regression confirms that perceived quality and brand associations are not causal drivers but are only indirect drivers of brand equity. Further, the dimension perceived quality was very strongly related with both brand loyalty and brand image, and brand loyalty was very strongly related with brand association among the beauticians segment of the sample. In the case of the brand equity dimensions among consumers, the brand association was very strongly related with brand awareness, perceived quality, and perceived quality was very strongly associated with the brand image.Conclusion: The outcomes of the study confirm that cognitive components of perceived quality and brand association were less contributing to brand equity and the affective component of brand loyalty had stronger underpinning on brand equity construction and hence play an important role in brand management. The brand equity structure gives a very good clarification of brand equity drivers and also their relationships, to formulate a cause and effect model. The model can form a basis for more action-based tactical and operational marketing strategies.

Purpose – This paper aims to assess the value of the employer brand through employer brand equity. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the model of employer brand equity by B. Minchington, the core employer brand assets (employer brand awareness, associations, loyalty, perceived employment experience) for three large companies are measured and the total employer brand equity strength is evaluated. Findings – The paper demonstrates a quantitative approach to employer brand evaluation. It takes into account the core target groups of the employer brand and could be the integrated tool for the assessment of the employer brand equity strength and its separate assets. Practical implications – In the paper, the universal formula for total employer brand strength evaluation is proposed. It provides evidence that employer brand needs to be measured systematically and depending on the value of its particular assets different employer brand activities should be intervened. Originality/value – The value of this paper is to provide the human resource team with a holistic set of tools for employer brand measurement to comprehend the competitive position of the company as an employer on the labor market.
