Promotion Strategy:
The Issue of Brand Building
Brand building is long-term and focused on the brands core values, while promotion is short term and price-focused. Critics say price promotions can undermine the brands established values and erode customer brand loyalty. Proponents say promotion can help build brand image. The solution: advertising must be more accountable and promotion more brandfocused; and they must work together. Prentice Hall, 2009

Discussion Questions
Discussion Question 1
Tom Jacksons marketing professor is covering some promotion methods, explaining that in selecting the consumer sales promotion, planners must know the brand situation and objectives before techniques are chosen. Some techniques tend to increase product use, and others are used to get new consumers to try the product. Which methods belong with which objective and why? the professor asks. How should Tom answer this question?

Discussion Question 2
Janice Wilcox is a brand manager for a new line of eye cosmetics. She is about to present her planning strategy to division management. Janice knows her company has been successful in using sales promotion plans lately, but she has strong misgivings about following the company trend. This new line must create a consumer brand franchise, and promotion isnt the best way to do that, she thinks to herself. How is sales promotion weak in building and maintaining a brand? Should Janice propose no promotion, or is there a reasonable compromise for her to consider?

Discussion Question 3
Three-minute debate: You have just been named product manager for a new FDA-approved pharmaceutical, a diet pill, that helps reduce hunger. Should you use a push or pull strategy to introduce this new product? Organize into small teams with each team taking one side or the other. In class, set up a series of three-minute debates, with each side having half that time to argue its position. Every team of debaters has to present new points not covered in the previous teams presentations until there are no arguments left to present. Then, the class votes as a group on the winning point of view.
