Rebranding (also called positioning (marketing)), is the process by which a product (business) or service developed with one brand or company or product line affiliation is marketed or distributed with a different identity. This may involve radical changes to the brand's logo, brand name, image, marketing strategies, and advertising themes. On the other hand, it might involve merely superficial changes. Rebranding can be applied to either new products, mature products, or even unfinished products. The process can be done purposefully (for example as a result of a deliberate change in strategy), or result from unplanned, emergent, or reactive dynamics (for example out of necessity following corporate restructuring). Often, rebranding is necessary when one company acquires another, along with its products. For example, Norton CleanSweep, now a part of the Norton SystemWorks product was originally Quarterdeck CleanSweep prior to Symantec's acquisition of Quarterdeck in November 1998. Much of Microsoft's product line consists of rebranded products, including MS-DOS, FoxPro and Visio. When a product offering is marketed seperately to several target markets this is called market segmentation. When part of a market segmentation strategy involves offering significantly different products in each market, this is called product differentiation. This market segmentation/product differentiation process can be thought of as a form of rebranding. What distinguishes it from other forms of rebranding is that the process does not entail the elimination of the orginal brand image. Dexxa computer mice are rebranded Logitech devices sold at a lower price by Logitech in the low-end market segment without undercutting their mid-range products. Rebranding in this manner allows one set of engineering and QA to be used to create multiple products with minimal modifications and additional expense. New Coke and British Airways ethnic liveries are both attempts at rebranding that had to be aborted due to a poor reception from the public. BA's world art tailfins were well received abroad, but failed to please the carrier's key customers, British and North American travellers. == See Also == * List of rebranded products Marketing Branding
