What is Branding ? Name types of Brands.

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers.


• Thus branding is getting your prospects to see your product or services as the only one that provides a solution to their problem.

• There are three types of brands: manufacturer brands, private brands, and generic brands:


Manufacturer brand: A brand that is designated, owned, and used by the manufacturer of the product e.g., Raymonds, Mercedeze.

Private brand: A brand that is designated owned, and used by a wholesaler or retailer e.g., Brroke Bond or Nilgiri.

Generic brand: A non branded product that is identified only by its product category e.g., Basmati Rice, Darjeeling Tea.
