Excellence" by setting a new standard of quality teaching and quality
education in Bangladesh, keeping in view the challenges of the 21st century.
Its goal is to produce future leaders with knowledge and skills essential for
leadership in country's private and public sector enterprises in the
increasingly competitive and globalized environment. In this aspect EU is
increasing their branding strongly and EU follows different strategy for
branding. To achieve its goals EU set its new branding slogan with new brand
essence which is Quality Education. Here we discussed the way of
branding and the open challenges of branding with possible solution of
overcoming that challenges. Also we discussed about branding toolkit, sales
material etc. The main part of branding is Promotion and Advertising. There
are various ways open in this era of marketing which we discussed below
such as Internet advertising, Campaign program, 360 degree communication
etc. We also discussed how EU tries to maintain the customer value
proposition by branding themselves. To fulfill branding activities we also
discussed how to Brand EU Campus and its Library to attract students
towards EU. EU strongly believes that the branding is an integral part of
University reputation and increasing of student admission. EU also ensures
good product that means Students with better future career and excellent
human being. EU always gives priority on the customer empowerment and
[4]
maximum time reviews the customers. For attracting and retaining students
EU plays active roles and increasing student base by doing proper branding
program from all aspects of University services. We also discussed about EU
Conduct and policy program which effect on branding activities. All this
branding efforts are doing by the EU for getting the loyal students and
increasing the reputation of the university with quality education. Through
following the branding methods EU now increasing the publicity and
attracting the students in a large number. So automatically the main vision
and the goal of the university is being acquiring day by day in the process of
branding.
Introduction:
A brand is the idea or image of a specific product or service that consumers
connect with, by identifying the name, logo, slogan, or design of the
company who owns the idea or image. Branding is when that idea or image
is marketed so that it is recognizable by more and more people, and
identified with a certain service or product when there are many other
companies offering the same service or product. Advertising professionals
work on branding not only to build brand recognition, but also to build good
reputations and a set of standards to which the company should strive to
maintain or surpass. Branding is an important part of Internet commerce, as
branding allows companies to build their reputations as well as expand
beyond the original product and service, and add to the revenue generated
by the original brand.
When on branding, or building a brand, companies that are using web pages
and search engine optimization have a few details to work out before being
able to build a successful brand. Coordinating domain names and brand
names are an important part of finding and keeping visitors and clients, as
well as branding a new company. Coordination of a domain name and brand
[5]
Types of Branding:
Branding is an important marketing tool used to stimulate recognition. When
a product, service, person or place is branded, it develops a personality and
a reputation. A successful branding campaign results in a name, design, logo
or other recognizable symbol that stands out among its competitors.
Product
The most common brand is that associated with a tangible product, such as
a car or drink. This can be very specific or may indicate a range of products.
In any case, there is always a unifying element that is the 'brand' being
referred to in the given case.
Individual product
Product brands can be very specific, indicating a single product, such as
classic Coca-Cola. It can also include particular physical forms, such as Cocacola in a traditional bottle or a can.
Product range
Product brands can also be associated with a range, such as the Mercedes Sclass cars or all varieties of Colgate toothpaste.
[6]
Service
As companies move from manufacturing products to delivering complete
solutions and intangible services, the brand is about the 'service'.
Service brands are about what is done, when it is done, who does it, etc. It is
much more variable than products brands, where variation can be eliminated
on the production line. Even in companies such as McDonald's where the
service has been standardized down to the eye contact and smile, variation
still occurs.
Consistency can be a problem in service: we expect some variation, and the
same smile every time can turn into an annoyance as we feel we are being
manipulated. Service brands need a lot more understanding than product
brands.
Organization
Organizations are brands, whether it is a company that delivers products and
services or some other group. Thus Greenpeace, Mercedes and the US
Senate are all defined organizations and each has qualities associated with
them that constitute the brand.
In one sense, the brand of the organization is created as the sum of its
products and services. After all, this is all we can see and experience of the
organization. Looking at it another way, the flow also goes the other way: the
intent of the managers of the organization permeates downwards into the
products and the services which project a common element of that intent.
Person
The person brand is focused on one or a few individuals, where the branding
is associated with personality.
[7]
Individual
A pure individual brand is based on one person, such as celebrity actor or
singer. The brand can be their natural person or a carefully crafted
projection.
Politicians work had to project a brand that is attractive to their electorate
(and also work hard to keep their skeletons firmly in the cupboard). In a
similar way, rock stars who want to appear cool also are playing to a
stereotype.
Group
Not much higher in detail than an individual is the brand of a group. In
particular when this is a small group and the individuals are known, the
group brand and the individual brand overlap, for example in the way that
the brand of a pop group and the brand of its known members are strongly
connected. Organizations can also be linked closely with the brand of an
individual, for example Virgin is closely linked with Richard Branson.
Event
Events have brands too, whether they are rock concerts, the Olympics, a
space-rocket launch or a town-hall dance.
Event brands are strongly connected with the experience of the people
attending, for example with musical pleasure or amazement at human feats.
Product, service and other brands realize the power of event brands and
seek to have their brands associated with the event brands. Thus
sponsorship of events is now big business as one brand tries to get leverage
from the essence of the event, such as excitement and danger of car racing.
Geography
[8]
Areas of the world also have essential qualities that are seen as
characterizations, and hence also have brand. These areas can range from
countries to state to cities to streets and buildings.
Those who govern or represent these geographies will work hard to develop
the brand. Cities, for example, may have de-facto brands of being dangerous
or safe, cultural or bland, which will be used by potential tourists in their
decisions to visit and by companies in their decisions on where to set up
places of employment.

6. Loved

7. Worthy

improve performance.
