Just a few years ago, seeing an Indian youth with a Nokia or an office-goer with a BlackBerry device on the road was a common sight. Over the period of around seven years both the brands haven’t been able to catch up to the plethora of options offered by other players. This has subsequently resulted in the decline of the brands and ultimately their death. It may seem harsh but the health and growth of a business is not guaranteed forever. When a brand dies, significant investments that were made to build the brand are also lost. Businesses may have a long or short life; however all of them during the course of their existence will experience a near death situation. If you find yourself struggling with a failing or dying business, here are 6 turnaround tactics to help you revive your brand.

Choose your product name creatively – There are so many products available by different brands which serve the same purpose. If you are selling a product similar as others, name your product in different ways. It needs to be memorable, unique, understandable, and relevant.

Think about multiple uses for the product – Start looking at the product in different ways and try to think of other uses for the product. Creative visualization can expand the scope of your product portfolio and help rejuvenate your brand. A simple example of this would be when Fonterra stop thinking of milk as a drink and started thinking of it as a food. This helped them change the scope of the product they were working with in so many ways.

Product Price Point – This is particularly effective approach when combined with segmentation. Go after various parts of the market with products that demonstrate various levels of value add and are price pointed accordingly – e.g. a bulk product at a bulk price, a high end or specialized product priced at a top-end price, and a consumer focused product that may even operate at flexible price points.
