Multi-brand as a strategic approach to winning the market

There are many reasons why a multi-brand strategy is becoming the preferred strategy for large companies. Many people ask the question: “When is it worth creating a multi-brand?”

As I once learned, this approach is ideal for companies that want to offer variety their products, but they need to create separate brands to avoid consumer confusion. I remember how I understood the offers of large retailers, such as Melon Fashion Group, which unites several brands. The store offered different clothing styles from Befree to Love Republic, and each brand had its own unique style and audience. This seemed like an absolutely brilliant solution!

Numerous interviews with customers showed that pricing and fresh collections really made a difference. One customer commented after purchasing from Zarina that “this is exactly what he needs when he wants to look professional.” However, his choice might have changed if he had seen other options in an incompetent environment. Thus, the creation of subsidiary brands made it possible for each client to find something of their own.

So, the main criteria for creating a multi-brand:

• Uniqueness. If the products are significantly different from each other, you should not place them under the same flag.
• Target Audience. Different consumer groups require different brand architectures.
• New Markets. Entering a new market may require creating an entirely new brand.

How to achieve success through multi-branding?

I would like to draw your attention to the “advantages and disadvantages of a multi-brand”.

Multi-brands bring diversity to the offerings, helping to attract different target groups and expanding the customer base. As my practice shows, I worked with clients who loved to experiment and try something new. This became obvious when my friends became interested in deodorants with the bright positioning of Dove and Rexona - each of them found something special for themselves.

However, to successfully build a multi-brand, significant financial investments are required to launch each new brand, as well as maintenance and promotion. For example, “thanks to high restrictions,” some companies created their brands and launched new lines, only to notice how some products interfere with others in terms of the market.

This made the business difficult to manage, and in my experience there were cases where new lines had a negative impact on old ones. The solution turned out to be careful management and reallocation of resources to give each of the brands the spotlight.

How to competently create a multi-brand: step by step

Let's discuss how to create and promote multi-brand. During my experience, I noticed that setting clear goals turned out to be the real key to success. Each new brand had to be consistent with the company's overall strategic goal, such as attracting new audiences or diversifying risks.

Every positioning is unique and it is important to build brand identities in a way that avoids confusion . The case of PepsiCo, one of the world's leading companies, was a product of deliberate choice - they always stayed within their beverage and food segment.

Here are a few steps I would recommend:

1. Defining a common goal. What is your ultimate goal when creating a multi-brand?
2. Creating unique identities. Think about the positioning of each future brand.
3. Cross Promotion. Use existing brands to promote new ones.
4. Process automation. This will help you save time managing more brands.

“The process of creating a multi-brand identity is like creating a musical group, where each member plays a different role.” - Jim Walton, one of the richest men in the world and the youngest son of Sam Walton, founder of Walmart.

This is a perfect illustration of the approach to creating unique floors brand inherent in each of the multi-brands.

Breaking down the steps, naturally, makes the process more understandable and manageable, which ultimately leads to the successful creation of multi-brands!
