should i buy a “SAHARA” brand laptop(note-book)?

i was recently searching for a new laptop for me in market,
meanwhile i came through SAHARA brand.
i found it is economicaly good for me and in my budget with latest techs compared to other well known brands in price.
so i m comfused wether to buy a big brand or this one with higher configs and affordable rates.
any idea about this BRAND.?

well ,i suggest u to go for some other more regonised brand ,because if u were to replace some of the part,u may nt be able to find them,and also if want to sell it,i doubt there will be anyone buying it,

if u r on a tight budget then go for either dell or acer ,but if u hv more money to buy,then buy a HP pavillion,they are veri nice especially the glossy type,

Excerpt: Afri-Cola is a cola soft drink produced in Germany . The trademark Afri-Cola was registered in 1931 by the company F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH . The same company also produced Bluna , an orange soft drink. Today the brand belongs to the Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG .History In the hard competition of the 60s, Afri-Cola lost its influence on the German market. The commercial designer and photographer Charles Wilp started a marketing campaign to regain its image.Today the rights to Afri-Cola and Bluna are owned by Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG . This company tried, in 1998, to use the retro trend to reintegrate these products into the German market, with some notable success to date. The taste of the 1998 drink, however, differed from that of the original. Also, the caffeine content was 250 mg/L up until 1998, which is unusually high. At the re-release, it had a content below 150 mg/L so that the content does not need to be listed on the bottle.However, the new recipe was unpopular. The mixture was again changed to taste more like the original one, the caffeine content was increased in 2005 to around 200 mg/L and caffeine was again listed as an ingredient on the label. This mixture was also not sufficiently successful and on April 1, 2006 the company changed back to the original recipe, with caffeine content of 250 mg/L.Availability outside of Germany In the mid-1990s Real Soda LLC, a U.S. company, started importing Afri-Cola into the United States, largely in the Seattle area.

A Case Analysis – Exploring Customer Attitudes On Bmw $91.9 Master Thesis aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Wirtschaft – Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Note: A (1.0), Hawai’i Pacific University, Veranstaltung: Professional Paper MBA, 20 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Abstract: “Building a brand is both an art and a science. It is the strategic mix of focus and risk that gives a brand its meaning in people’s lives (Dolan, 2003)”. Branding has been around for centuries as a means to distinguish the goods of one producer from those of another. Brand elements identify and differentiate the brand. However, many practicing managers refer to a brand as more than that. They define a brand in terms of having actually created a certain amount of awareness and reputation in the marketplace, which distinguishes a small brand from a big brand. Especially strong brands have a number of different types of intangible image associations that link customers emotionally to the brand. Prior research has explored differences in customer perception and evaluation of brands for example through investigating brand equity. More recent research has found out that customers differ not only in their perception of brands but also in how they relate to brands. This suggests that people sometimes even form a relationship with a specific brand (Aggarwal, 2004). Branding and brand-based differentiation are powerful means for creating and sustaining competitive advantage (Aggarwal, 2004). Highly competitive markets like the automotive market make powerful, strong brands essential to accomplishing growth. According to Agarwal, Dahlhoff & Rao (2004), companies create brand equity by delivering quality products and by creating strong, unique and favorable brand associations. Customer loyalty, larger margins, brand extension opportunities, enhanced perceptions of product performance, and increased marketing effectiveness and efficiency among other things are possible benefits of building

Absolut Book $34.95 The Absolut Vodka advertising campaign has been running nonstop for fifteen years, which, in advertising, is practically forever. Industry insiders hail it as one of the most successful campaigns in the history of advertising, and the star of the ads is always the beautiful, artful, chameleon-like bottle from Sweden. The Absolut ads are celebrated as much for their ingenuity as their longevity. They are full of wit, artistry, and imagination as they deftly communicate the brand’s values, often containing little challenges to the reader to interpret just what’s happening inside the ad. In this book, Richard Lewis of TBWA Chiat/Day, Absolut’s advertising agency from the beginning, shares an intriguing, behind-the-scenes account of the birth and growth of this heralded campaign, its personalities and creators, and the paths they’ve taken to keep it perpetually fresh. Yet, it’s a campaign built on more than marketing magic: Absolut Vodka is a superb product with a humble background. Produced in the tiny, picturesque town of Ahus, Sweden, Absolut came to America a complete unknown. In the early efforts to establish the brand’s identity, the creators realized the now-famous two-word headlines would showcase the absolute quality of the brand, but Absolut would also be unpretentious, and not take itself – or the world – too seriously. Now, many years, and hundreds of awards later, the image of the Absolut bottle is embedded in our collective consciousness.
