In most developed economies the costs of logistics management are steadily growing and account for an increasing proportion of the gross national product. Logistics costs have become an important part of the added value of products and logistics management is increasingly regarded as an important weapon in the international competitive struggle, in particular by large market‐oriented companies. The emphasis in marketing strategies is shifting from product and price to promotion and place. Rapidly changing customer demands have an increasing effect on company policies. Reduction of product life cycles and assortment expansion will lead to faster development and delivery of new products and to smaller‐sized and more frequently placed delivery orders. Advancing technology will cause production to require more focus. Customers are becoming more demanding and manufacturers have to react faster to changing demand on the part of both private consumers and industrial customers. This requires enormous flexibility, which will be increasingly aimed at conquering and securing sales potential in the liberalized European market. Successful companies will focus on core activities. Activities other than core activities, but serving them, will have to be outsourced.

Serbian honey producers are exposed to the increased international competition of recent years. To face up to the new changes, producers are progressively using diversification strategies, such as direct sales and production diversification. The direct sales strategy allows the producers to increase the product added value, while diversification aims to offer new products to the consumers. The aim of this paper is to analyse the honey marketing strategy of Serbian honey producers. The first part of the paper analyses the structure of production costs, production performances as well as the determinants of the honey supply. In the second part of the paper, analysis is focused on the determinants of direct sales. Finally, in the third part of the paper, diversification strategies are discussed. The data for this research has been obtained on the basis of a representative sample consisting of 84 Serbian honey producers interviewed in 2011 and 2012. The results show that the Serbian honey producers operate with more or less similar production costs and with production performances that do not differ significantly. They use direct marketing for two reasons: firstly, it affords personal contact with consumers, and secondly, they aim to decrease the transaction costs, thereby keeping a higher share of the product’s final value. Offering new products to consumers is an attempt to create additional product demand.

This paper analyzed how consumer brand loyalty influences brand remanufacturers’ market strategy when independent remanufacturers (IRs) enter the market and when they do not. The authors developed and analyzed four market models, “no IR enter and no brand remanufacture (n),” “no IR enter and brand remanufacture (nR),” “IR enter and no brand manufacture (nr),” and “IR enter and brand remanufacture (nrR)”. They then analyzed the results using sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis. The research found that new product prices, brand remanufactured product prices, and general re-product prices are positively correlated with brand loyalty; with the increasing level of brand loyalty, brand manufacturers’ profit increases, while the IR’s profit is lowered. Further, when the manufacturing costs of new products are high, the model preference for the brand manufacturers is always [Formula: see text]; when the costs are lower, the level of the consumer brand loyalty affects the model preference. In models nr and nrR, brand loyalty may increase the brand consumer surplus, but reduces the average consumer surplus, total consumer surplus, and total social welfare.


A brand can be one of a firm's most valuable assets; however, the value of a brand is contingent on the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of its consumers. A brand can legally belong to a firm, but its value is in consumers' hands. Thus, it is important to know how a brand can connect with its users and how to build strong brand relationships that lead to consumer loyalty and advocacy for a brand. Brands can also influence the adoption of new products by helping consumers to reduce the uncertainty of new product adoption. This chapter addresses how marketing strategies can enhance brand relationships.

This research was carried out to examine the role of educational brand capital applied to public universities in Ireland. To this end, the main contributions in the literature related to the study of brand capital and its application in the Irish educational sector were analyzed, identifying which variables determine brand capital in this sector. Once a suitable model was established, an empirical study was realized using a sample of 423 valid responses from students at the two main public universities in Cork (Ireland). The results obtained will show the repercussion of each variable of the brand capital relative to the determining variables (brand awareness, brand image, perceived quality, and brand loyalty), while laying the foundation for university managers to develop marketing strategies adapted to maximize the building of educational brand capital.
