Benefits of Brand Building for getting results in b2b markets
For Business , Branding, and positioning are its key part, since it has become modern business necessity. Brand positioning benefits are derived from the brand awareness,creation of brand value proposition and the brand positioning statement of a company. They may vary, depending on a market you choose to work in with reference to brand punchers campaign.
Brand marketing is gaining more popularity among many modern companies. Branding remains no longer an option, it has turned to be a necessity in the modern business environment and brand positioning is one of the vital brand marketing components. It offers companies many benefits. Let us take a closer look at the brand positioning, the benefits it provides and two different areas where it is applied.
The brand positioning can be exercised in the customer oriented branding and in the b2b branding. The brand positioning benefits and the ways to achieve them will vary considerably in those two areas. Your band value proposition would also diverge for those two different markets.
Your brand positioning benefits are gained from the functional, emotional or self-expressive value propositions and from your positioning statement's ability to capture your stakeholders' attention and space in their minds. For most customers all three ways of expressing your brand value proposition can be vital and working, however, not all of them will work well for the brand positioning for b2b markets. Brand positioning benefits, obtained from a functional brand value proposition in a customer market, are based on the products' or companies' natural benefits and advantages. A FedEx term of delivery is a good example of such functional benefit. Nevertheless, it will work well only if such benefit or advantage remains a priority of a particular company and makes it unique among its competitors. More brand positioning benefits can be received from the emotional or self expressive brand value propositions for the customer market. For instance, Volvo is strongly associated in customers' minds with safety and Mercedes can be an expression of who those customers are and their social status. Choosing those brands, the customers choose emotions and social self expression they desire to build up about themselves. The emotional and self expressive based value propositions build up strong bonds between customers and brands. Frequently, those two components are closely bond together. They evoke a more psychological rather than a functional interaction of the customers with the brands, and thus, are able to produce more brand positioning benefits.
Nonetheless, brand positioning benefits for b2b markets mostly cannot be taken from the emotional or self expressive value propositions. The b2b managers, who are responsible for purchases for their companies, are in the search for the functional benefits and value propositions, the emotional appeals will not produce many results with them. What they want to know is your credibility, terms and price conditions rather than the emotions your brand can evoke in them. The B2b positioning has to be based more upon particular product benefits and contract conditions rather than on emotions.
Finally, your positioning statement both, for the customer and for the b2b markets, has to be aimed at capturing people's attention and winning a unique position in their minds and hearts. Remember, the positioning and the benefits it produces, comes from winning a special place in people's minds, not in their pockets.

Why New Markets Are Required For One’s Products
Before one understand this mystery , three factors are to be known for
revealing the mathematics of any market players :
a) Demand and Supply
b) Quality at competitive rate
c) Growth for survival in tough competition
I remember last Saturday I got a call from a senior president of a MNC, saying that
I am looking for new market but cant make as to where shall I go for and especially when the management is insisting for fast set up of new supply chain in new markets
but I am afraid with global melt down of economy ,since , it has broken the backbone of every company irrespective of country.
I started to deal the situation with certain things which I am just reiterating so that some one can use it as to why new markets are required.
New Markets can be set up by adopting any of the ways as is practiced by the global players :
a) Setting up a subsidiary unit
b) Making up channel sales force
c) Making business associates
d) Making assignment based agents
e) Generating continous leads for business deals
People may choose as per their best economy , nature of business and longetivity of business interest.
But, the gentleman was sounding over enthusiastic and even said ,…….yes ,Mr Becker,
I know this all but my problem is still as such and repeated it as well for times.
This made me to finally ask him to accompany me over tea which longed to dinner.
In our first sitting , he had a very long brain storming session and he was only interested to know an answer to why ? instead of knowing how to do it so , let us name it “Why Session”
Why Session
New Market means more business and new business as well. In other words means more profit and revenue irrespective of its sustainability .
Again the same question cropped as to why new market , ofcourse ! for this I am paid for and companies make business out of such advises.
a) What is the meaning of new market ?
b) How to explore new market ?
c) Which market will be the best new market ?
All the aforesaid questions have simple answer as discussed below.
It can be understood by simple formula of demand and supply. Where there is demand which is sustainable and with better prospects will be considered as new market.
The new market can be within the territory of one’s country or may even cross the barrier of international market. If demand is more in a new market , then it is always advisable for exploring a new market.
The market can be explored with better pricing with best quality,since the golden rule is quality should always command the pricing factor and pricing factor always follow quality factor.
Since, both are incomplete without each other and compliment vice versa.
As already said , the new market could be explored with new subsidiary,joint venture, partnerships, business associates, deployment of work force or even without substantial investment by way of continous generation of business leads , may be a B2b platform or b2b portal can get business leads for you like
www.made-crom-india.com ,which I recently saw and seems to be a promising one for global traders and exporters.
Exploring new markets can be even by way of launching your product in unexplored areas of one’s country and even exporting the product to a particular country where best demand is there . The result will be more demand will always give better pricing factor. Ofcourse, such markets will be the best market to be explored since business is done for profit and the market which can give more profit will always be the best market whether it is new and unknown as well.
Say, a ball pen has the best quality over the existing ball pens in its segment and usage, but unless not being sold in better market will always get less revenue over inferior ball pens which are in best market where the demand is more for ball pens and for quality.
After listening such simple things , the gentleman said , Mr Becker even I knew this but you made me understand the simple analogy and now I am sure to give some promising result to my management.
We shall be discussing other aspects of other sessions in due course of time, meanwhile , simply understand the fact that business is for profit and it is always dominated by demand and supply .

We shall be discussing other aspects of other sessions in due course of time, meanwhile , simply understand the fact that business is for profit and it is always dominated by demand and supply .

Quality signals in wine marketing: the role of exhibition awards
Wine producers have their products evaluated at various wine exhibitions for the purpose of receiving awards that can be displayed on the bottles. This contribution introduces an approach to estimate optimal prices for wine exhibition awards. A case study has been employed in cooperation with a major Czech wine company to investigate the practical usefulness of the method. Estimating the relative importance of selected wine exhibitions as award origins and determining the partial utilities of selected awards (medals) is based on a conjoint experiment. Price equivalents and markups can be derived based on consumer preferences.
Competition in the Czech market for bottled wines has already been stiff with the entry of European Union suppliers resulting in a signi1cant downsizing of national production areas (EU, 1998). Major importers are Italy, Spain, Hungary, Slowenia and Yugoslavia (Czech Ministry of Agriculture, 1999). The recent appearance of an increasing number of wines from ‘new’ production areas worldwide (e.g., California, Chile, South Africa, Australia) still increases the pressure on national suppliers. Consequently, Czech wine producers are searching for ways to match their offers more closely to consumer preferences
to maintain or to increase their market share as well as to generate suf1cient income from their sales.
Quality perception, quality evaluation, and quality signals-Quality has been found to be amongst the most prominent factors influencing consumer’s choice of wine (Hauck, 1991). The question arises as to what factors can be employed by producers (or by the retail trade) for creating favorable product quality perception leading to higher preference and/or to the willingness to pay higher prices.
Product attributes, in general, can be classi1ed as either search, trust or experience attributes. For a particular product, all three categories may be relevant (Kaas & Busch, 1996). Search attributes like, i.e., the price are usually accessible prior to purchase and are being employed by consumers to identify relevant offers (evoked set). Experience attributes (i.e., the taste), can only be evaluated after the purchase. Trust attributes (Darby & Karni,1973) cannot at all be evaluated by the consumers or only at high costs. Typical trust attributes for wine are alcohol content, sulphur content or preservatives content.
The cues used by consumers to judge product quality can be classi1ed as either‘‘intrinsic’’ or ‘‘extrinsic’’ (Olson & Jacoby, 1973). Intrinsic cues are those product attributes which cannot be changed without also changing the physical properties of the product itself, i.e., sugar content of a wine. Typically, those intrinsic cues are responsible for the taste, the ultimate product quality measure in food marketing. Extrinsic cues are attributes which, while product-related, are not a part of the physical product, i.e., labels. Earlier quality- perception studies have suggested that consumers’ quality perceptions are strongly affected by extrinsic cues (for an overview see Rao & Monroe, 1989) but little attention has been paid to wine labels (Schrattenecker, 1986: Gierl, 1993) and no study could be found examining exhibition awards.
Prior to purchase, consumers do not recognize whether or not a product meets his/her quality standards. This indicates de1cits in quality perception.
De1ciencies in consumer quality perception are closely associated with the absence of complete information. Only very few markets exist where market transparency is perfect. Most frequently, one party (usually the seller) has better access to product information than the other party (usually the buyer): resulting in information asymmetry (Von der Schulenburg, 1993). Incomplete and asymmetric information has a strong impact on consumer quality perception and evaluation. Quality labels (created by producers or as a third party certi1cation mark) are designed to provide consumers with product quality information, hence reducing information asymmetry between supplier and buyer (Kaas & Busch, 1996). Quality signals are being most frequently employed by producers and retailers in markets where product quality information is distributed asymmetrically. That makes quality labels an important cue in consumer quality perception.
Wine exhibition awards can be categorized as third party certi1cation marks. Those are granted by numerous institutions to products that meet their predetermined standards (Taylor, 1958). According to the information content provided by third party certi1cation marks those may be classi1ed into three major categories: factual certi1cation, evaluative certi1cation, and warranty certi1cation (Laric & Sarel, 1981). Wine exhibition awards belong to the group of evaluative certi1cations providing attribute-speci1c evaluation. The certifying party is committed to present evaluative opinions (e.g., varietal-speci1c quality assessments) carrying affective connotations.

Fair Trade Association of Australia & New Zealand
A recent public survey conducted by Colmar Brunton on behalf of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand (FTAANZ) indicates consumer recognition of the FAIRTRADE Label has now reached 36% in New Zealand, an increase from a similar survey conducted 2 years ago that showed just 2% recognition at that time.
Retail sales of Fairtrade Certified products in New Zealand grew 60% last year to over NZ$9 million, this is well above the global average of 40%. Global sales of Fairtrade Certified products are now more than NZ$4.8 billion. The UK market is now worth NZ$1.25 billion with 70% public recognition of the FAIRTRADE Label. This all indicates scope for further growth in New Zealand.
“By thinking about what we buy at the supermarket and supporting Fairtrade, we are able to make a tangible, personal difference with the reassurance that something as easy as thinking about the coffee we buy is helping to make a difference to another person, their family and community.” says Steve Knapp, Director, Fairtrade ANZ
56% of New Zealanders in the latest survey showed understanding of the fair trade concept - “guaranteeing a better deal for farmers and workers in developing countries” - and 42% said they would buy more Fairtrade products if they were more available.
This bodes well for new Fairtrade Certified product launches, with Wild Bean Cafe, Robert Harris, Gravity Coffee, Caffe L’affare and Scarborough Fair all launching new Fairtrade Certified products into mainstream retail in the last 12 months. From service stations to supermarkets, it has never been easier for consumers to choose Fairtrade and make a real difference to farmers and workers lives in the poorer parts of the world.

Plasa Events 2008 ,September 7 to 10
As we head towards the end of 2007, PLASA Events reports buoyant bookings for the 2008 event with over 55 per cent of stand space already confirmed.
Show Director Nicola Rowland says: "Just six weeks since the show, we already have over half our stand space rebooked and there are strong levels of interest from new exhibitors on the back of seeing the redrawn 2007 show.
"We're looking at three particular areas for further development at PLASA08 to enhance the experience for both exhibitors and visitors.
"One message that came across very powerfully from our various research exercises was how much people value the opportunity to network at PLASA, so we're studying ways to develop the networking experience. We're also working on extending the show's special features and there's a lot of work going on to ensure we deliver a strong educational programme.
"The expansion into Earls Court 2 was a bold move for everybody and has been generally very positively received, and we are working on new plans to develop the two hall layout - along with making more stand space available for those who want to make the move into Earls Court 2 next year.
"A further improvement for PLASA08 will be to our ticketing and marketing, including early distribution of exhibitors' complimentary guest tickets."
The PLASA Events team is also using its independence to offer more flexible branding and sponsorship opportunities than in the past and welcomes suggestions and creative ideas from members - so please call and the team will do all it can to support these opportunities.
Meanwhile, plans are under development for the provisionally titled 'PLASA North', when PLASA Events takes over the A.C. Lighting North trade show immediately after the 2008 event.
"It's really exciting to be expanding our portfolio of events to create more benefits and business opportunities for PLASA members and we will be liaising with everyone to ensure a smooth transition. A year into PLASA Events' existence we are already looking at other ideas and opportunities that will help us better serve the market with events run by and for the industry."

WaterTech Central Asia 2008
Divining Opportunity in Central Asia's Water Sector
:: A Vanguard Event on a Vital Issue
:: Kazakhstan: Exceeding Expectations
:: Main Sections of the Exhibition
We give a neutral rating to this event with ROI upto 30%.
Throughout the world, the dismal state of water supply in Central Asia has gained notoriety. The famous image of broken down ships beached far from shores of what remains today of the Aral Sea tragically illustrates this situation. Clearly, the imperative of securing and maintaining quality water supplies has become a critical strategic challenge facing Central Asian countries, and particularly Kazakhstan.
In order to address the urgent challenges and necessary solutions for the future of water supply in Central Asia, Kenes Exhibitions has joined with ITECA from Kazakhstan in hosting the Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference, the premier event to exchange information about these issues.
:: A Vanguard Event on a Vital Issue
The first event of its kind to include all Central Asia states, the Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference will take place in Almaty, Kazakhstan from 16 to 18 September 2008. An international conference will also take place within the framework of the exhibition.The statistics below present, at least in part, a picture of the scope and complexity of the water supply challenges facing Kazakhstan:
- Total area: 2,717,300 km2 (the second largest country among the former Soviet countries, after Russia)
- Area composition: land – 2,669,800 km2 (98.3%); water – 47,500 km2 (11.7%)
- 80.0% of the land is either desert or steppes.
- Cultivable land: 2,221,059 km2 (82.8%)
- Cultivated area: 344,560 km2 (15.5% of the cultivable land)
- 33.7 km3 of water was sourced from rivers and other flowing sources, of which 80% was used in agriculture (1993).
- Irrigated area: 35,000 km2 (only 10% of the cultivated area). Of this area, only 66% used controlled irrigation techniques.
- Irrigated areas (by sprinklers): only 5,500 km2 – and the absence of the use of micro irrigation techniques (1993).
:: Kazakhstan: Exceeding Expectations
- Population: 16,731,303 (6.15 persons per km2).
- GDP: $125.3 billion (est.)
- GDP (per capita): $8,300 (est.)
- GDP (real growth rate): 9.5%
- Unemployment: 8.1%
- Inflation: 7.6%
- Agricultural products: grain, cotton, livestock
- Natural resources: oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, manganese, chrome ore, nickel, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, bauxite, gold, uranium
- In 1996, 40% of the population lived in rural areas
As the statistics compellingly show, there is much to be done in the water sector of Central Asia in general, and in Kazakhstan in particular. The Central Asian International Water Technology Exhibition & Conference is the place to gain the knowledge and contacts that will turn this potential into a reality.
:: Main Sections of the Exhibition
- Advanced Irrigation Systems
- Desalination
- Water Management & Flow Control
- Water Quality & Water Treatment
- Waste Water Treatment (Reclamation & Purification)
- Monitoring & Measurement Devices
- Leakage Control
- Water Security
- Research & Development

About Brussels
Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the administrative centre of the European Union, has the enviable title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels, character comes from the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavour to its atmosphere.
The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.
Brussels, unlike Paris, doesn't set out to make you love it; rather, it sits back and allows you to do the wooing.The secret is to take time getting under its skin and slowly embracing its uniquely muddled character. The centre is divided into the Lower and Upper Towns. The Lower town is centred around the magnificent Grand Place and still follows a vaguely medieval form, with its narrow, atmospheric streets. The Grand Place itself,a wide-open cobbled medieval square of elegant guild houses, is one of Brussels few set-piece attractions. There is a daily flower market on the square (Mar-Oct), sometimes with concerts, and a sonnet lumière display in the evenings.
The bars, restaurants and nightspots of St-Géry take on a life of their own in the summer months, when the buzz is thickly atmospheric. Even in winter, die-hards sit on the terraces under electric heaters. Ste-Catherine, the town's port area before the river was landfilled in the 1870's, is lined with seafood restaurants serving up dishes of lobster,mussels and oysters. Immediately north of the Grand Place you'll find the Ilot Sacré, an evocative tangle of narrow streets that are filled with restaurants. South, amid the tourist shops in rue de l'Etuve, is the little statue of the urinating Manneken-Pis - the symbol of Brussels.
The Upper Town doesn't lack for attractions either: there's the Royal Quarter, with the palace and the royal park leading through to the Belgian Parliament. The Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts gives an overview of Belgian and old Flemish art.Don't miss the Musée des Instruments de Musique, set in a beautifully restored art nouveau department store. East of the Royal Quarter is the Parc du Cinquantenaire, with Belgium's Arc de Triomphe and vast museum complexes.
