How did 'Gattu' lead the way for Asian Paints?We all know Asian Paints today as one of the leading company from India. A brand that was started by a group of four friends in a garage in South Mumbai. This post is not just about the brand, but about the original mascot that Asian Paints displayed for nearly 50 years. Created by the legendary R.K. Laxman in 1954, 'Gattu' was a mischievous boy with a paintbrush in his hands and a can of paint at his foot. The idea behind the mascot was to reach the masses especially in the rural areas. Consumers like the painters & paint contractors could easily associate with the brand. Gattu helped develop a strong brand recall for Asian Paints. From the 1950s till the 1980s people could recognize Asian Paints whenever they saw the image of Gattu. As the brand matured over the years, Gattu became a smaller part of their ad campaign. The emphasis turned more towards targeting the premium consumer segment. Asian Paints kept reinventing itself over the years to keep up with the changing market. From being just a paint company, Asian Paints has successfully created itself as ultimate brand for everything in home decor. It ranks 2nd in Asia amongst the paint company. The company's growth story is worth learning about in context to successful Indian brands. Ultimately Asian Paints had to let go of 'Gattu' as the brand mascot in 2002. Having grown up seeing this mascot alongside the famous 'Amul girl' and the 'Maharaja' of Air India, I often wonder what would have happened if Gattu stayed?

Branding is everything! The way a shop brands itself can either attract or repel potential customers. But what exactly makes up a successful branding strategy? We believe it's all about creating an emotional connection with your target audience. Think about it, why do people prefer Starbucks over Dunkin' Donuts, or Nike over Adidas? It's not just about the products, it's about the way these brands make them feel. As Maya Angelou once said, People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. So, if you want your shop to succeed, focus on creating an emotional connection with your customers through your branding strategy. #brandskoncept #shopbranding #advertising #brand #konstruksi #interior #advertisingpalembang #brandpalembang #alfazzaadvertising #konstruksipalembang #alfazza #eksterior #periklanan #interioreksterior #indoor #outdor

👟 The Internationalization of Sneakers and StreetwearOver the last few weeks, we've seen Supreme open up a store in Shanghai, Palace open up a store in Seoul, Atmos open up a store in Manila, and Patta open up a store in Lagos!As someone who used to live in Manila, I was shocked to see the news around Atmos. I've never considered the Philippines a major revenue market for sneaker and streetwear brands, but I quickly realized that's old school thinking.At an international level, the fastest growing economies are in places like Asia and Africa, and a natural progression within an emerging economy is increased purchasing power that will be spent on categories like fashion. China has been an obvious destination for streetwear brands, but I think most people wouldn't always think about Seoul, Manila, or Lagos. If you review the financial statements of companies like Nike or Adidas, a lot of their fastest growing markets are in Asia.For the smaller boutique fashion and streetwear brands, betting on younger, faster-growing populations in places like Asia and Africa makes a lot of sense and is a way to solidify your brand's connection to the local culture.In the pursuit of growth today, you really need to have an international mindset that goes beyond purely Western markets.https://lnkd.in/duYJ7-XP#streetwear #atmos #sneakers #manila #lagos #shanghai #seoul #culture #streetculture #asia #africa

Nov 9, 2023 - Lippo MallsIndonesia Retail Trust reported a net property incomeof S$30.6 million for the third quarter ended September30, 2023, compared to S$32.8 millionin the same period a year ago. Rental revenue dipped 6.2% to S$28.1 million whilst gross revenue slipped 3.8% to S$49.8 million, largely due to the 5.8%

Being at the helm of a Sustainable and Eco-friendly Home & Fashion brand, I’m very mindful of how we package and ship our products to our customers - B2B or DTC. As part of our policy, given that we’re a small business, we don’t accept returns but if there’s an issue with any product, we’re happy to resolve it. Hence, paying close attention to the quality of the product and it’s packaging is of utmost importance to us. Online shopping is great until it doesn’t work and adds to the hassle of repackaging a piece of heavy furniture and returning it! Not only the fashion industry but the home decor sector is impacted by returns, disposals in landfills, and eventual impact on the environment.One such personal experience led me to ask the fundamental question - what has happened to (1) Quality Assurance at the time of shipment to the end consumer (2) Where is the accountability on the part of the well established department store’s Return counter? A damaged product was shipped to the end consumer, hence the return. Why blame it on the third party who’s somewhere in Indonesia? The end consumer, that’s me, bought it from this well established US brand!These days most stores don’t keep a physical sample of certain pieces of furniture in their locations. One has to trust the name and credibility of the company that offers them. So, shouldn’t quality assurance at the time of shipment to the end consumer be an important step so that returns can be minimized? What happens to the damaged console table that I returned? You guessed it - most likely, disposed.What are we to gain by holding discussions in summits if in reality we’re not practicing the basics of Sustainable marketplace rules?#sustainability #returnculture #environmentalimpact
