The Embrand edge – Pulling customers to even unknown brands with a Superior Product UX
- Embrand’s research has demonstrated that buyers will switch to a product with a superior UX (User Experience) – even if the brand is unknown and priced higher than famous brands.
- A series of such (Superior UX) products by a brand makes consumers trust the brand over others.
- This trust is monetised by consumers buying more from the brand, even at a higher price.
- Delighted users endorse the brand to non-users and thus are a brand’s best salesforce.
So what does Embrand do for clients’ brands?
Conducts research to discover consumers’ Value Equation, viz.:
- What consumers’ ideal UX is for a product.
- How much they would pay for it.
The Value Equation guides:
- Product Designers in creating such products
- Advertising and Sales staff to communicate it to potential buyers.

W. Europe and Japan colonised the rest of the world for almost 400 years until the end of WW2 – after which the losers (Germany, Japan and Italy) and the winners (USA, UK and Russia), both agreed to set their colonies free, and make fair trade, not war, the basis of...

Britain can’t grow tea and India grows more tea than any other nation in the world. So why, despite Covid, is the market share (by volume and value) of Britain’s Unilever’s tea brands – Lipton and Brooke Bond – still dominant in the Indian market ? (per...
Why nations with global brands are powerful economies
Made in India, Designed for the World
One strong brand can be the pillar of an entire economy – as was Acer for Taiwan in the 1990’s, and Nokia for Finland later. These brands also helped make “Made in Taiwan”, and “Made in Finland” labels that consumers across the world respect, and every product from these countries reaps the reward.
Building a brand is a more arduous task than manufacturing products for other people’s brands, but the rewards are greater, and more sustainable. While India and China may have more millionaires, Acer and Nokia have contributed hugely to creating standards of living for their nation’s entire populace.
This is the inspiration behind Embrand’s latest initiative, “Made in India, Designed for the World”.
