IS BRANDING IMPORTANT FOR “WATER”

???

“In a lot of categories, you can duplicate products and get an edge on quality or attributes, but that edge can be shaved off very quickly by competitors. In the water category, there is no technological superiority. The only thing that differentiates one water from the next is the brand.”

-Chiranjeev kohil, professor of marketing at California state university.

Marketing experts say that a commodity such as water can be branded effectively. The key is differentiation, but that’s also the challenge. After all, water is water. The source of the water provides a good foundation for differentiation,” says rob frankel, a branding consultant.

“Evian is from the alps, arrowhead is from the mountains in California, etc. If you’re going to tap into the brand culture, so to speak, you start with the singularity of the source.”
