      Introduction

    • B.

      Positioning

    • C.

      Elaboration

    • D.

      Fortification

    Correct Answer
    B. Positioning
    Explanation
    Positioning is not a criteria for building long term brand loyalty. Positioning refers to the process of creating an image or perception of a brand in the minds of consumers. While positioning is important for establishing a brand's identity and differentiation in the market, it is not directly linked to building long term brand loyalty. Building brand loyalty requires factors such as consistent product quality, customer satisfaction, trust, emotional connection, and delivering value to customers over time.

    Rate this question:

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Selecting and blending tangible and intangible attributes to differentiate the product, service or corporation in an attractive, meaningful and compelling way
    Explanation
    Branding is the process of selecting and blending tangible and intangible attributes in order to differentiate a product, service, or corporation. This involves creating a unique and appealing identity that sets it apart from competitors. By combining both tangible elements (such as design, packaging, and features) and intangible elements (such as values, emotions, and experiences), a brand can create a meaningful and compelling image that attracts customers. This definition encompasses the essence of branding and explains how it helps in establishing a distinct and attractive presence in the market.

      Compelling benefits

    • B.

      Emotions evoked in the consumer

    • C.

      A one-word description

    • D.

      Positioning

    Correct Answer
    D. Positioning
    Explanation
    Positioning is not a criteria for developing a strong brand name. While positioning is important for a brand's overall strategy and marketing efforts, it is not directly related to the development of a brand name. A strong brand name should have compelling benefits, evoke emotions in the consumer, and ideally, be described in one word. Positioning, on the other hand, refers to how a brand positions itself in relation to its competitors in the market.

      Esquire

    • D.

    Explanation
    Esquire is not a media type because it is a specific magazine title, not a general category of media. Newspapers, magazines, and the internet are all types of media that can be used to disseminate information or entertainment to a wide audience. Esquire, on the other hand, is a specific magazine that focuses on men's lifestyle and interests.

    • D.

      Journals/Newsletters

    Correct Answer
    D. Journals/Newsletters
    Explanation
    Journals/Newsletters are not considered non-traditional media methods. Non-traditional media methods refer to unconventional advertising or promotional techniques that go beyond traditional channels such as television, radio, and print. Guerilla marketing involves using unconventional and unexpected methods to promote a product or service. CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a strategy that focuses on building and maintaining relationships with customers. Product Placement is a form of advertising where products or brands are featured in movies, TV shows, or other forms of media. Journals/Newsletters, on the other hand, are more traditional forms of media that have been used for a long time to disseminate information and news.
