To Brand - or Not to Brand?
Tutwiler Hotel
April 21, 2010 - 11:30 AM
Presented by Doug Schneider, Vice President of Marketing at Bayer Properties
To brand - or not to brand? That is one of the questions many companies ask themselves when reviewing marketing spend levels. And in a challenging economic time full of price discounts and sale advertising, how important is it to continue investing in a brand? Isn’t brand building a long term business strategy – can it drive sales and profit today? Do clients, customers or the consumer even care about brands anymore? Does a brand name factor into their decision making process?
Join us April 21st as Doug Schneider discusses the answers to these questions and more when evaluating whether to invest in brand building marketing strategies.
With 20 years of retailer and packaged goods marketing experience in various distribution channels, Doug Schneider now leads the marketing efforts at Bayer Properties, a nationally recognized Top 100 Retail Property Development & Management Firm.
