Notes:
- Chapter 7 examined seven categories of business products: major equipment, accessory equipment, component parts, processed materials, raw materials, supplies, and services.
- Consumer products are classified into four types: convenience products, shopping products, specialty products, and unsought products. This approach classifies products by how much effort is used to shop for them.

Notes:
- Advertising economies: Product lines provide economies of scale in advertising.
- Package uniformity: Packages in the product line may have a common look but maintain their individual identities.
- Standardized components: Reductions in manufacturing and inventory costs.
- Efficient sales and distribution: A product line enables a full range of choices to customers, and as a result, better distribution and retail coverage.
- Equivalent quality: All products in a line are perceived as having similar quality.
Discussion/Team Activity:
- Discuss product lines that demonstrate the above benefits.
Some ideas include: Gillette, General Motors, Procter & Gamble, Mary Kay Cosmetics

Resources are disproportionately allocated to slow-moving products
Items have become obsolete because of new product entries
Contracting product lines is a strategic way to deal with overextension

Individual brand—different brands for different products (Bold, Cheer, Gain, Tide, Era, and Dreft)
Family brand—common names for different products
or a Combination of individual branding and family branding. (Jack Daniels or Campbells)

Co-branding
Cobranding is placing two or more brand names on a product or its package.
Ingredient branding identifies the brand of a part that makes up the product. Arm&Hammer with OxiClean
Cooperative branding occurs when two brands receive equal treatment. Ramada Inn, American Express, and United Airlines
Complementary branding refers to products advertised or marketed together to suggest usage. – Seagram’s and 7up and Cold Stone Creamery has worked with Oreo, JELL-O and Jelly Belly to produce new and unique ice cream flavors. In turn, Jelly Belly, for example, launched a Cold Stone Creamery line of jelly bean flavors.
Co-branding is a useful strategy when a combination of brand names enhances the prestige or perceived value of a product or when it benefits brand owners and users.

Trademarks
A Trademark is the exclusive right to use a brand. A service mark performs the same function for services.
Many parts of a brand and associated symbols qualify for trademark protection.
Trademark right comes from use rather than registration.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) explicitly applies trademark law to the digital world.
Companies that fail to protect their trademarks face the possibility that their product names will become generic.

Global Issues in Branding
When entering a foreign market with an existing product a firm has three options for handling the brand name:
One brand name everywhere. Coca-Cola uses this strategy in 195 countries around the world. This strategy allows greater recognition of the product and easier promotional coordination from market to market.
Adaptations and modifications are used when the name cannot be pronounced or interpreted successfully in a different language.
Different brand names for different markets: Local brand names are used when translation or pronunciation problems occur, when the marketer wants the brand to appear to be a local brand, or when regulations require localization.

Global Issues in Packaging
The major labeling concern is proper translation of ingredient, promotional, and instructional information on labels.
Package aesthetics are important from a cultural perspective. For example, colors may have different connotations in different countries. Package size is influenced by availability of refrigeration, amount of storage space, and even the purchasing power of buyers.
Extreme climates and long-distance shipping necessitate sturdier packages. Packages may need a longer shelf life.
