New Products and Brand Extensions
(2 of 2)
• A brand extension occurs when a firm uses an established
brand name to introduce a new product
– Line extension
▪ Adds a different variety, a different form or size, or a
different application for the brand
– Category extension
▪ Marketers apply the parent brand to enter a different
product category from the one it currently serves

Advantages of Extensions
• For most firms, the question is not whether to extend the
brand, but:
– When, where, and how to extend it
• Advantages in two categories
– Facilitate new-product acceptance

Disadvantages of Brand Extensions (1 of 4)
Can confuse or frustrate consumers
Can encounter retailer resistance
Can fail and hurt parent brand image
Can succeed but cannibalize sales of parent brand
Can succeed but diminish identification with any one category
Can succeed but hurt the image of parent brand
Can dilute brand meaning
Can cause the company to forgo the chance to develop a new
brand

Disadvantages of Brand Extensions (2 of 4)
• Can confuse or frustrate consumers
– For example, one study found that consumers were
more likely to make a purchase after sampling a
product (and being given a coupon) when there were
six product flavors to sample than when there were 24
• Can encounter retailer resistance
– It has become virtually impossible for a store to offer all
the different varieties available across all the different
brands in any one product category
• Can fail and hurt parent brand image
– The Audi is a classic example
Copyright © 2020, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Disadvantages of Brand Extensions (3 of 4)
• Can succeed but cannibalize sales of parent brand
– Diet Coke and regular Coke
• Can succeed, but diminish identification with any one
category
– Gillette introduced Venus (a razor for women); it may
have diminished its identification with the target
audience of men
• Can succeed, but hurt the image of the parent brand
– If customers see a brand extension as inconsistent or
conflicting with the parent brand customers may
change their perceptions of the parent brand

Disadvantages of Brand Extensions (4 of 4)
• Can dilute brand meaning
– Gucci
• Can cause the company to forego the chance to develop a
new brand

Managerial Assumptions
• Consumers have some awareness of and positive
associations about the parent brand in memory
• Some of these positive associations will be evoked by the
brand extension
• Negative associations are not transferred from the parent
brand
• Negative associations are not created by the brand
extension
Copyright © 2020, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Brand Extensions and Brand Equity
(1 of 2)
• Creating extension equity
– Creating a positive image for an extension depends on:
▪ How salient parent brand associations are
▪ How favorable any inferred associations are
▪ How unique any inferred associations are
Copyright © 2020, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Brand Extensions and Brand Equity
(2 of 2)
• Contributing to parent brand equity
– The effects of an extension on consumer brand
knowledge depends on:
▪ How compelling the evidence is about the
corresponding attribute or benefit association
▪ How relevant or diagnostic the extension evidence
is
▪ How consistent the extension evidence is
▪ How strongly existing attribute or benefit
associations are
Copyright © 2020, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Vertical Brand Extensions
• Vertical brand extensions
– Extend a brand up into more premium market
segments or down into more value-conscious
segments
– Common means of attracting new groups of consumers
• Logic is equity of parent brand can be transferred to appeal
to consumers who otherwise would not consider it
Copyright © 2020, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Evaluating Brand Extension
Opportunities
• Define Actual and Desired Consumer Knowledge about
the Brand
• Identify Possible Extension Candidates
• Evaluate the Potential of the Extension Candidate
• Design Marketing Programs to Launch Extension
• Evaluate Extension Success and Effects on Parent Brand
Equity

Brand Extension Guidelines Based on Academic Research
1. Successful brand extensions occur when the parent brand is seen as having favorable
associations, and there is a perception of fit between the parent brand and the
extension product.
2. There are many bases of fit: product-related attributes and benefits as well as nonproduct-related attributes and benefits related to common usage situations or user
types.
3. Depending on consumer knowledge of the product categories, perceptions of fit may be
based on technical or manufacturing commonalities or more surface considerations
such as necessary or situational complementarity.
4. High-quality brands stretch farther than average-quality brands, although both types of
brands have boundaries.
5. A brand that is seen as prototypical of a product category can be difficult to extend
outside the category.
6. Concrete attribute associations tend to be more difficult to extend than abstract benefit
associations.
7. Consumers may transfer associations that are positive in the original product class but
become negative in the extension context.
8. Consumers may infer negative associations about an extension, perhaps even based on
other inferred positive associations.

Brand Extension Guidelines Based on Academic Research
9.
It can be difficult to extend into a product class that is seen as easy to make.
10. A successful extension can not only contribute to the parent brand image but
also enable a brand to be extended even farther.
11. An unsuccessful extension hurts the parent brand only when there is a strong
basis of fit between the two.
12. An unsuccessful extension does not prevent a firm from backtracking and
introducing a more similar extension.
13. Vertical extensions can be difficult and often require sub-branding strategies.
14. The most effective advertising strategy for an extension is one that
emphasizes information about the extension (rather than reminders about the
parent brand).
15. Individual differences can affect how consumers make an extension decision,
and will moderate extension effects.
16. Cultural differences across markets can influence extension success.
