Its your opportunity to tap into this lucrative market and use brand licensing as an efficient business model. If you already have a strong brand with an established customer base then licensing could propel your product to an even wider base of customers and create additional revenue streams for your business. Essentially, Brand Licensing is a concept that leverages the brand's properties across new product lines under brand's direction and vitality. It is about renting a brand across logical product categories with set guidelines and controls, resulting in brand extension. In India, until a few years ago, no one could have ever thought of brands as assets - they were just a differentiating factor. With changing times, the role of brands has also changed. In recent retail turmoil, we have seen many big brands die with time because they were not able to keep up with the changing preferences of the consumers. On the other hand, brand licensing deputes an industry expert (as a licensee) with manufacturing ability and retail presence to manage the category, and at the same time the brand (as licensor) earns royalties.
