A product can be quickly outdated; a successful brand is timeless.’ Developing a successful brand yields numerous consumer benefits, and leads to easier accomplishment of market goals as well: Reduced marketing costs due to high levels of brand recognition and express brand loyalty. The basic function of any trademark or brand is to make the product unique, different from others. ‘A brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or combination of them, intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of competitors.
