Middle country is starting to recognition by international companies, due to the economic crisis that is sweeping the continent of Europe and America. In middle country their economic more stable that’s why middle country is become the new branding target for market a new product.

Continuing from my previous article: Product Branding Secret in Middle Country with Facebook. On this article, I will reveal the reason behind the manufacture branding of the beverage products that we can find only in middle country. These are some examples of such products:

1. Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut (corporately known as Pizza Hut, Inc.) is an American restaurant chain and international franchise that offers different styles of pizza along with side dishes including salad, pasta, buffalo wings, breadsticks, and garlic bread.

Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., the world’s largest restaurant company. According to its corporate website, there are more than 6,000 Pizza Hut restaurants in the United States, and more than 5,600 store locations in 94 other countries and territories around the world. (wikipedia)

As we know with the spread of Pizza Hut restaurants in several countries, pizza hut taste and implement strategies for people like, here are some example of typical pizza hut product which offers a menu of public craze in midlle country.

#Egypt – Menu Appetizers

People in Arabs in general like to eat in a group. And since the family is most of the time large (5 persons and more), so eating together is the best thing for them. They speak to each other, laugh, have jokes and make fun. This tradition of being together is ancestral, that’s why it is not surprising that the share of foods in Arabs countries is larger than the other. 

The Arabs like cooked fat both from the tail of the sheep and clarified butter (samn), other part of the Islamic regions like the Mediterranean used vegetable oils like olive and sesame oil.

Bread in the early Arab food diet was cooked beneath coals or red-hot stones, ideally ones that had been used to roast the meat so some of the fat becomes saturated with the meat fat stuck to the stones.

Like what Arabs like, that’s why Pizza hut provides a menu of foods that are eaten garlic bread with the meat and sauce that has been adapted to the like of the Egyptian.

#Indonesia – Rice Menu

Just as the Egyptian Pizza Hut Indonesia presents a menu that does not exist in each country with the passion customized Indonesia is rice, Indonesian society is like rice for the main food in every day. Pizza Hut in Indonesia fulli understands about this, so they set up menu for connoisseurs of rice in Indonesia, because the pizza hut is famous for its pizza but pizza hut still strive to fulfill all the wishes of its customers, by preparring rice menu in its shop, some trick pizza hut that the customer when in their shop can order many kinds of menu not only pizza, intresting right?

#Philipines – Hot Menu

Filipino counity craze is not much different with Indonesia, because the location of the adjacent to Indonesia, do not be surprised if the kind of culinary and cooking craze is not much different in Indonesia.

Pizza hut in Philippines also serve rice, pizza hut together with Indonesia, which is different here is the theme menu at pizza hut Philippines provide all-around hot, take a look at the picture above the HOT word emblaozoned on the menu, so it is not surprising that pizza hut menu in philippines served Chicken wings spicy, this is because the indulgence Filipino comunity who love spicy food, Intresting i think with 3 different example country in this article pizza hut serves a different menu in accordance with the passion and culture in every country.

Lesson: Learning community preferences ranging from basic food, taste and color.

2. Coca Cola

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke (a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944). (Wikipedia)

Coca-Cola has long developed its brand to various countries, such as those expressed by wikipedia on Coca-Cola have store that sells products in more than 200 countries, it is not surprising because the Coca-Cola marketing strategy is popular in community in every countries, as we see below this coca cola create a unique product that only exists in the country, as in Thailand, Brazil, and China

#Thailand – Ginseng Coffee

People in Thailand love coffee, that’s why Coca-Cola creating designated as ginseng coffee energy drinks, which usually Coca-Cola creates energy drinks in other countries this time they creates energy for the coffe to coffe lovers in Thailand.

CAFÉ ZU: CAFÉ ZU is a ready-to-drink canned coffee with ginseng developed for hard-working males between 25 and 35 years old. Refreshing and invigorating, CAFÉ ZU has a totally unique, delicious taste.

#Brazil – Energy Drinks

The use of the guaraná berry pre-dates the discovery of Brazil. The Guaranis, an Amazon tribe, were found taking a drink made from the powder of the roasted and ground seeds of the berries. The natives claimed that this drink made from a “miraculous plant” could give such endurance that by drinking it one could go on a hunt for days without food and without feeling hunger or fatigue. The Guaranis would also tell of the drink taking away headaches, fever and painful muscle spasms, and a cure for bowel movements. In the Guaranis culture, guaraná plays a very important role, as it is believed to be magical, and a way to regain strength.

It is utilized by coca cola, with public confidence in Brazil are very trusting of usability and functionality of guana berry fruit, then coca cola drinks that contain specially made guana berry extract. KUAT brands are given the taken from the name of the sun god amazon tribe. Coca cola in Brazil even has acres of gardens to produce berries guana dedicated to supplying this baverages.

#China – Energy Drinks

The latest developments in smart energy drinks are including no chemical caffeine and no chemical names Colorful, exotic flavors and a fun, non-conforming personality have made this soft drink the choice of Chinese kids and teens. The first carbonated drink designed by The Coca-Cola Company specifically for China, Smart satisfies consumer demand for high-quality carbonated soft drinks in this fast-growing market.

Coca-Cola in china saw this with tendency of people started to like and look for health drink because they try to be health conscious amidst all the pressure of a high and fast paced life. With the increasing demand, there are unlimited possibilities. Therefore, creating a health drink coca cola with nutrients include all the vitamins and minerals and that society chinese can have in just one gulp. Health can be just in one drink after all.

Lesson: Search for an appropriate sense of community practice

3. Nestle

Nestlé S.A. (French pronunciation: [nɛsˈle]) is the world’s largest food and nutrition company. Founded and headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, Nestlé originated in a 1905 merger of theAnglo-Swiss Milk Company, established in 1867 by brothers George Page and Charles Page, and Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé, founded in 1866 by Henri Nestlé. The company grew significantly during the First World War and again following the Second World War, eventually expanding its offerings beyond its early condensed milk and infant formula products. Today, the company operates in 86 countries around the world, and employs over 280,000 people. (Wikipedia)

One of the countries that were targeted branding to develop a recipe that nestle has dropped down in the middle countries there is Brazil and Philipine. Here are some examples products be developed from a traditional recipe in the country.

#Brazil

The Chocolate Surpresa was a brand of chocolate made by Nestlé in Brazil. It was introduced on 1983 and made a lot of success on the 1980s decade as well as the early 1990s, but its popularity withered after that and it ceased to be produced in the year of 2000. The chocolate itself was a common black milky bar, flat and thin. But what really made it achieve so much success was that each of them would come with a figure made on a thin cardboard paper with a picture of an animal on it. (Wikipedia)

Nestle’s packaging on display in this supresa chocolate brazil attract residents, with animals showing signs of strength for the people of Brazil including the tiger and jaguar.

#Philipine

Sorbetes is a Philippine version of ice cream usually peddled from street carts in the Philippines. It is distinct from the similarly named sorbet. It is usually served with small wafer or sugar cones and recently, bread buns. It is made from coconut milk, unlike other ice creams that are made from cow’s milk or any other animal milk.

Sorbetes an old fashioned ice cream pre-existing in the Philipine will change the packaging, but Nestle’s ice cream has become more practical by adding a Nestle brand in it, at first ice cream is only sold by traditional community with stroller.

Sorbetes the old marketing.

Sorbetes ice cream that was origilnally sold with a cart around.

Sorbetes Nestle.

Sorbetes ice cream that has been packaged in a practical way by Nestle.

Lesson: Develop existing ancient recipe fell down in the country to our brand br providing a more practical packaging and attract public attention.

Conclusion

Middle Country is a commonly used for describe a country with low levels of material weel-being. Because there is no fixed definition of middle country that are recognized internationally, the level of development could be varied in the developing world. A number of middle countries have an average standard of living is high.

That is what is usually used by large companies to develop their brand to the middle country, due to the condition of the Europe and America economics was entering a stagnation period, unstable financial, as well as an increase in debt, and did not rule out anyway if they were more popular branding in middle country of origin the company was founded.

And one of their marketing strategies is by optimizing facebook fan page. Why they use facebook? Because today has more than 900 million active users (Facebook on Wikipedia). Now, we’ll learn the secret of big player on Food & Beverage Companies were expanding their brand in Middle country using facebook.

1. Coca-Cola

Coca-cola is the company that originated in Atlanta, and improve its marketing in Gorgia since 1890-1900 with an increase of as much 4000%, amazing right?
Coca cola not just stopped there, the company has began raising their marketing area to middle country, here is one example Coca-Cola facebook fan page exists in Egypt.

Lesson: Learn the culture of the country, like what Coca-Cola did when they promote of their product in Egypt. Coca-Cola share a music about Ramadhan, because majority people in Egypt is moslem. Ramadhan is religious service before feast day Eid al-Fitr.

2. McDonalds

The McDonald’s concept was introduced in San Bernardino, California by Dick and Mac McDonald of Manchester, New Hampshire. In 1970’s Mc Donalds start to expand their business in the middle country, start from Costa Rica to Brazil.

Here’s one example of the McDonalds that developed branding of their products in Malaysia.

Lesson: There are two lessons that we can take from Mc. Donalds facebook fan page:
First, Malaysian society is the majority religion of moslem, they are not easy to belive with product with lack of concern “Halal” products offerings of a company. Mc Donalds saw this as an important thing, therefore serve the way making breakfast by McDonalds, it will make they costumer sure that the way making of McDonalds breakfast is “Halal”.

Second, like what I have said in the first lesson, Malaysian prioritized a “Halal” in every products so McDonalds never forgot to put a “Halal” logo in every products that they offer.

3. Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) is an international coffee and coffeehouse chainbased in Seattle, Washington. Starbucks is the largest coffee house company in the world, with more than 17,000 stores in 55 countries, including over 12,500 in the United States, over 1,200 in Canada and over 700 in the United Kingdom, and 53 in Russia.

One of them share their cafe in Brazil by using facebook, take a look the list of cafe that Starbucks open in Brazil, displayed on their facebook fan page.

Lesson: Share your shop location in facebook fan page, it can attract your customer to visit your shop.

4. Pringles

Pringles is a brand of potato and wheat-based snacks originally developed by Procter & Gamble. Pringles are sold in more than 140 countries and have yearly sales of more than US$1 billion. In April 2011, P&G agreed to the $2.35 billion sale of the brand to Diamond Foods of California, more than tripling the size of Diamond’s snack business. Pringles brand potato crisps were first sold in the United States in October 1968, and distributed internationally by the mid-1970s.

Let we see what Pringles did when branding their products in Espana, with their facebook fan page.

Like we see, Pringles gave “Campus” Theme in their opening facebook fan page. In this theme, Pringles implement to sampling products at a college campus in Spain, as we can see on photograph of some cities in Spain.

Lesson: Give some “theme” to your facebook fan page, make it real to the offline show, and share some pictures. It will make your customer realize that you’re real in their country.

5. Red Bull

Red Bull is an energy drink sold by the Austrian Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987 by the Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the most popular energy drink in the world, with 3 billion cans sold each year. Amazing, Red Bull can popular in the world.

Let we see one example what Red bull did in Malaysia, by their facebook fan page Red Bull Malaysia.

What you see? A product that they called “Energize My Raya”, and below of the product reads “Selamat Hari Raya Aidel Fitri” which means peace the feast of idul Fitri to muslims who were in Malaysia, Red bull also rejoice to welcome Eid al- fitr in Malysia by making product packaging are specific to the feast of the muslims. Very interesting, I think the way Red Bull socialize with society Malaysia with equally celebrated the feast the majority society there.

Lesson: Adjust them products that you offer with existing conditions in the place product marketing, an easy way to socialize with the surrounding communities.

6. Subway

Subway is an American restaurant franchise that primarily sells submarine sandwiches (subs) and salads. It is owned and operated by Doctor’s Associates, Inc. (DAI). Subway is one of the fastest growing franchises in the world with 36,013 restaurants in 98 countries and territories as of January 17th, 2012.[1] It is the largest single-brand restaurant chain globally and is the second largest restaurant operator globally after Yum! Brands (over 37,000 locations).

Subway in everywhere, yes its true like we see in this example subway have a sluice of facebook fan page with the original language, with multiple photograph profile, marque subways different in every country that has been adjusted with interests and preferences, surefire trick to more closely consumers in various countries.

Lesson: Doing research on color, shape, and a sense of joy in each country that will have you headed, adjust with the product you are going to market.

Conclusion

The world economy is rapidly undergo reorientation towards the middle class is growing in the East and South, and the social innovators will follow, helping consumer, and the power of citizens to create change.

A logo is one of the most important element that helps to establish a brand or an organization in the market. It in many ways works as a communicator between a company and its targetted customers. Branding is the most important part that works behind the sucess of a company or an organisation. If you are a logo designer and assigned to design logo for your client company you need to be very careful. First you need to understand the purpose, target customers and the requirement of the company and their business. Second you should take care of the budget they draw for the designing job.

On the other hand a client or an organization should also have some ideas on logo designing despite of appointing a logo designer to design the logo of the company oh their behalf. They should at least know the purpose of a logo. First they should understand well the purpose and the type of logo they want. Then only they can hire a professional logo designer or a logo designing firm. Only after that the budget, deadline or the design can be decided.

Should Symbolize Your Business

A logo should always symbolize you and your business. Only a great logo can summarize your entire business within it. People should remember the logo at one go. If they cannot remember the logo it can be said surely that they cannot remember your business or organization. On the designer’s part, the logo should be simple yet catchy. The logo may contain design or infographics but it should clear the name of the brand or the organization. If you take a look at the logos of IBM or Coca cola you can understand how simple yet effective they are to remember. On the other hand a complex logo my look different or better but it does not at all serve the purpose.

Match with The Purpose of Your Business

While designing a logo a designer should always remember that the logo should match the theme and the purpose of the business or the company. A logo represents a company and there should be some elements and the feel which will draw the target audience towards the company. Once a logo designer underestands these things it becomes quite easier for him design the best logo for his clients. If the company represents promotes a class then their logo should contain simple yet classy colors and designs. A designer should try to avoid creating a flashy logo which may not go with the image of the company at all.

Elegant and Memorable

Logo designing is all about creativity and the logo designer should be genius and creative enough to create a logo that is different as well as elegant. Sometimes it becomes difficult to develop a unique logo. But this is the only way you can taste the sucess in the highly competitive market. The logo should be elegant and different. But do not forget the thin line between complex and different. While searching for different and elegant logo logo designers often end up creating a complicated logo which people tend to forget easily.

Timeless

A logo designer should always create such logos that are lasted for years. In short the logo should be eterneal along with its appeal. You should be very careful while choosing colors for the logo. Use of colors changes every day and using bright or shocking colors may end up losing its appeal after a few years. The design of the logo should also be smart enough to be continued over the years. As the logo cannot be changed it should be designed such a way so that it can have eternal appeal.

Creation of a good quality logo may take some. It can take days or months. It takes a lot of discussion between the logo designer and his clients. Sometimes a logo designer require to work on different projects at the same time. But he is expected by everyone to produce the best logo. That is why he is being paid for. It is only possible for a good designer to saatisfy al his clients as well as himself. If the designer keep these factors in mind he can produce such a logo which can be a boom for both the organization or the brand and of course for his career.
