BRAND AUDITBrand Audit is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s brand, in which it’s strengths and weaknesses are assessed and opportunities are determined.

Points of Parity and Points of Difference

POPs are those associations that are not necessarily unique to the brand but may in fact be shared with other brands.

One term which is often used in POPs is,

Category POP (necessary conditions for brand choice). Dawlance have category POP as it is provides cooling for long time, it provides perseverance of food items, e.t.c.

Points of Difference(PODs)

PODs are strong, favorable, and unique brand associations for a brand.

WHY IT IS KNOWN FOR ITS RELIABILITY?

Known for its reliability, Dawlance the number 1 home appliance brand of Pakistan has yet again introduced an innovative product that has been especially designed to counter the ongoing energy crisis. The Low Voltage Startup (LVS) series of refrigerators is equipped with technology that ensures regular cooling of the refrigerator even when the voltage power is as low as 135 V. With thicker insulation, the refrigerator is capable of retaining the cooling for up to fifteen hours without electricity.

The design has been crafted to cater to the decor of every household and caries a spacious interior which is 10% bigger than other refrigerator brands available in the market. These refrigerators are available in a range of sizes to match the need of different household structures.

Page 16: Dawlance Audit Report

Adding to the plethora of features, its cylindrical handle enables the user to open and close the refrigerator door with much greater ease. What makes this new series more appealing for the masses is that it is light on pocket and heavy at cooling. It is not just the great refrigerator for household needs but can be easily used by institutions like hospitals, restaurants, hotels, universities, etc, and businesses due to its unique ability to work even on low voltage.

Speaking about the LVS series of refrigerators, Mr. Hasan Jameel, head of sales, Dawlance said, "We are expecting our LVS series of refrigerators to become an instant hit among our consumers. These refrigerators address the most pressing food preservation needs of our country and provide the much needed shield from power fluctuations and rising temperatures. Added to this, the refrigerators in this series are available at different price points depending on the refrigerator size so a vast majority of the masses can afford these refrigerators depending on their refrigeration needs and budget."
