4 BRANDS:
Brand is the image of the product in the market. Some people distinguish the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential aspect. The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with the brand and is known as the brand experience. The psychological aspect, sometimes referred to as the brand image, is a symbolic construct created within the minds of people and consists of all the information and expectations associated with a product or service. People engaged in branding seek to develop or align the expectations behind the brand experience, creating the impression that a brand associated with a product or service has certain qualities or characteristics that make it special or unique. A brand is therefore one of the most valuable elements in an advertising theme, as it demonstrates what the brand owner is able to offer in the marketplace. The art of creating and maintaining a brand is called brand management. Orientation of the whole organization towards its brand is called integrated marketing. For example,

The above figure will be very much useful for know about the body spray users in the age group of above 45 years. It clearly shows that the majority of peoples are not willing to use the body sprays and the others are like to use the natural things like sandal, javaathu, etc. And only the very few of the peoples are willing to use the body spray. It clearly shows that these age groups of peoples are not the targeted customers for the companies which are involved in the production of the body spray.

The above mentioned figure shows that the body sprays users among the age group of the 31 45 years. According to this figure majority of peoples use the body spray but they are not the brand addicts (occasional users). They are not looking for the particular brands and also they didnt use it in frequently. They only use it in the festival or for any special occasions. In general I have noted that the families residing in thanjavur are like to use the foreign brands (unknown brands) from the foreign return peoples. They didnt show much interest in any specific brands, they are ready to use all brands of body spray. The brand addicts are less in this age group so this will clearly show that these age group peoples are also the non targeted customers. But the companies trying to capture these occasional users to their customer by giving attractive advertisements and awareness to use body spray.

The above mentioned figure shows that the maximum users of the body spray was 16 30 Years age group of peoples. So they are the target customers for the body spray manufacturing companies. These people will give much more business to the such companies. To attract the above mentioned segmented peoples will give much more profit. So the companies are manufacturing various type and fragrance in their products, and give various multimedia advertisements such as TV, Radio, Newspapers, etc.
