| "New Driver of Brand Extension Success Found by U of M Professor" » | 5/14/2008 | MINNEAPOLIS, MN – (May 13, 2008) – Brand extensions, like Jeep’s strollers, Maxim’s hair color, or Apple’s iTunes are lucrative ways that a brand can increase its revenue and customer base—or confuse and alienate them. In an increasingly borderless world in which brands can be as powerful as currency, stretching brands that already have strong equity has become an ever more important avenue for growth. However, many attempts at brand stretch fail in the marketplace. How firms and their brands can avoid pitfalls and best manage brand extensions globally is addressed in a recent paper by Rohini Ahluwalia, professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, forthcoming in the Journal of Marketing Research. |
