Dr.Brown's and Nightingale Brands in Shoprite Stores Nationwide.

"I do all my household shopping in Shoprite except for my baby’s diapers and wipes because I only use Dr. Brown’s and they never had it in the store. So you can imagine my surprise – pleasant surprise - seeing them here in Shoprite this morning,” enthused Bella Oyeyomi, mother of a feisty one year old son.

 

Bella speaks for the many ladies, parents and even elders who are core users of the Dr. Brown’s and Nightingale brands.  Now, families can buy at Africa’s largest retail store, Shoprite across Nigeria.  

“It was an inevitable move,” remarked Paul Odunaiya, the Managing Director of Wemy Industries, manufacturers of Dr. Brown’s and Nightingale brands .“Shoprite is renowned for selling high quality products for middle to low income earners. We, likewise, deliver great value at affordable prices. Also, Both companies are on the same page as far as excellence in service delivery is concerned.”

WemyIndustries prides herself as the first manufacturer of baby diapers in Nigeria and even West Africa. Established in 1978, the company has continually evolved to retain its supremacy amidst stiff competition. It also expanded by adding baby wipes, panty-liners, ultra-thin pads and underlay pads to its product base. Very quickly, each of the newly introduced products have become highly sought especially since it remained affordable.

Being available at Shoprite only makes it better for Dr. Brown's. Now, the product is better positioned to reach more consumers while the consumer is  better-placed to purchase a high-end product for a thin price.

As Bella and her high-spirited son wheeled their packed shopping cart away, she whips out her cell phone and cheerfully remarks, “I can’t wait to tell my friends about this. I’m sure they’ll tell me to pack some for them.”

REBRANDING AND ITS BENEFITS.

Re-branding a business is the process of creating a new look and feel for an already existing brand or product in order to influence its customer’s perception. This may include changing the name, logo or packaging. Re-branding can be a very challenging but extremely rewarding process. It requires careful consideration and planning to achieve the desired goal which is to breathe new life into a brand to attract new customers and increase its popularity. Nigerian Breweries, Oando, and Glo are examples of Nigerian companies that are constantly re-branding and are enjoying wide acceptance among the Nigerian public.

 In 1997, tech giant Apple was very close to declaring bankruptcy, but a little less than 17 years later, stock prices have gone up from $6 to $350 and the company keeps shooting in an upward trajectory. Apple did not only re-brand the company’s name, mascot and logo, but also started producing reliable and elegantly designed products, adding artistry to technology; as changing its name from Apple Computer to Apple enabled the company to produce innovative products such as iMac, iPod, iPad, and iPhone. Apple found a way to polish its brand and create a positive experience for its customers. 

Until recently, McDonald’s had the image of a chain that served unhealthy meals sold at exorbitant prices; in fact, critics touted McDonald’s meals to be one of the leading causes of obesity. McDonald’s has since re-branded itself, now serving more healthy meals with reduced prices under the slogan “I’m lovin it”. This makeover appears to be having a ripple effect as there has been a reported 5.3 percent rise in sales according to Business Insider.

Wal-Mart, in a 2007 re-branding, replaced its tagline “Always low price” with “Save money. Live better”. This singular act changed the company’s reputation from offering retails at rock bottom prices to suggesting that buying items at low prices will improve the lifestyle of the customer. In 2010, Wal-Mart was the world’s largest public corporation by revenue, according to the Forbes Global 2000 for that year.

Re-branding is generally aimed at repositioning a brand or company, usually in an attempt to move the brand up market. According to Business Insider, it doesn’t only change the customer’s response to the brand but also helps the brand achieve its goals. It’s a careful strategy; often times subtle and methodical, and may involve both re-imaging and regeneration. Change, as it is said, is inevitable; it is pertinent that companies adopt new strategies when needed rather than sticking with the same strategy for years even when it starts to feel uninteresting with time. 

Re-branding is considered a smart business decision for the following reasons:

• ·         Every brand needs refreshing to stay relevant as the 21^st century market is an ever evolving one, re-branding affords companies the chance to sort out a new strategy to make their brand relevant and more importantly, remain relevant.
• ·         Re-branding influences the customers perception, when a product wears a new look, or has a new feel or a company updates its marketing materials and strategies with a careful consideration of the target customer, the customer perception changes and tilts more positively.
• ·         Re-branding offers the opportunity to clarify image, while allowing room for future growth this naturally improves the bottom line by conveying a company’s core value and brand message.
• ·         Re-branding can breathe new life into a business when it is done with a strategy, a process, thought and most importantly for the right reasons. This will set the product or company apart from competitors.

As has been undoubtedly witnessed in the examples of companies that have re-branded, re-branding brings along with it its own basket of gifts both for the company and their customers. It must be stressed that in re-branding, corporate establishments must take the current needs and desires of their customers into consideration but still stay true to themselves as a respectable brand as seen in the example of McDonald’s. 

Re-branding must also be meaningful and powerful enough that it would improve the relationship between the company and current customers as well as prospective new ones. Most importantly, companies need to re-brand to stay ahead of competition in a very competitive market where you can get left behind if you don’t keep up with the ever-growing demands of customers and the trends in the society that create such demands. This will ensure that brands don’t lose their usefulness and help them create a stronger voice for their brands.
