Popular Brands That May Die in 2015

Blackberry:

The world’s favorite ‘Crackberry’ which was so popular once up a time is now being replaced with the iPhones. Rise of other Smartphone brands have obviously caught the attention of the customers with their extraordinary features and cheap prices. Blackberry has failed to keep up with the kind of technology consumers are demanding. Apparently the goal set by CEO John Chen was to make ‘Blackberry synonymous with work.’ Sadly all of Blackberry’s efforts to regain its reputation as the businessman’s phone looks doomed to fail. Apple’s recent business and productivity based apps proved more appealing to the iPhone users than the Blackberry.

Quiznos:

Quiznos was the birth place of toasted sandwich. Quiznos was once, one of the most popular sandwich chains that was the close second to Subway. But the biggest drawback of this famous chain was its weak menu that gave very few sandwich options, people obviously lost traction with such menu. It has lost the credibility so much so that the company is considering filing bankruptcy. The company closed down 1000 franchise locations between 2007-2009. Their quality of food was improved yet the profits made by them are in a dormant state.

Zynga:

Are you a FarmVille fan? If you are, you may be surprised to know that the social networking game's creator, Zynga, may soon disappear. According to the Huffington Post, since the brand's rise in 2007, Zynga has had a tough time remaining relevant with Facebook fans and has slowly been beat out by other social-networking games like Candy Crush.

Zynga took a major hit with its acquisition of OMGPOP, the gaming company responsible for Draw Something. The purchase of OMGPOP seemed like a good idea, but just one month after the purchase, fans of Draw Something went from 15 million down to 10 million and have continued to dwindle.
