Learning About Branding from Old Hostel Memories

My two classmates, Rajeev & Pradeep, from YMCAIE, brought together our old classmates into a WhatsApp group. While we were exchanging or old antics, the discussions veered around beer.

The brands those days 1983-87, 28 years ago that we could recall were: Gorilla, Pink Pelican,  Guru, Gorilla and Haywards. These used to cost around 20 to 30 rupees. Now, a beer costs Rs 100. So, the inflation rate for beer is about 4.5%.

But, Jai pointed out that some brands costs Rs 250.  This gave us an branding insight.

Branding Insight:   Branding differentiator  can add 2.5X value to a commodity.

Another social media insight is that those of the gang who were not active in FB or G+ opened up on WhatsApp !! Is it privacy or lack of crowding syndrome, I know not yet.
