It helps avoid monopoly, but at the same time it makes customer choice more difficult as they get lost in the vast number of similar offers. This problem can be resolved by branding, i. e. proving product with the brand, a set of tangible and intangible values that can identify and differentiate product and impact customer choice. It is the product itself, its trade mark and other visual and physical components, its surrounding halo and relations between the company and the buyer.

It is the product itself, its trade mark and other visual and physical components, its surrounding halo and relations between the company and the buyer. Successful branding gives an opportunity to get a trusted audience and retain it even in unstable economic conditions and it can prepare the ground for business extension and cut costs in new product and service promotion.
