Dyson’s Global Branding Strategy

Dyson, a household name, is known for their innovative and high-quality appliances. The appliance that separated them from the competition was their bag-free and cordless vacuum in the late 1900s. James Dyson, founder of Dyson, began his discovery and prototype in England. Dyson began selling in England, Britain, and Japan. With great success and recognition, they released their products to the United States with the same reaction. Today they are known globally and sell within Europe, Asia/Pacific, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

Branding Strategy

When reviewing Dyson’s products, I noticed that their branding strategy fell under Extension Branding. Dyson’s market primarily falls under household items such as vacuums, washers (discontinued), and air-purifiers. Mr. Dyson confident in his scientist, designers, and engineers saw an opportunity to take on improving a new product. (Still within the household appliance, but aimed more toward the beauty or personal care market).

“Millions of people use contraptions daily that are hideously inefficient, waste their time and are causing them long-term damage,” he said. “We realized that we could — and should — sort this situation out.”

Within Extension Branding, there are three noticeable extensions that seemed to be used. Complementary, Expertise, and Brand Life Extension.

Dyson expanding into the beauty appliances such as the SuperSonic Hair Dryer and Air-wrap (released 2-years later) were complementary to their product expansion. This does not distract too much from their main market, as the same consumers that use their house appliance will likely purchase their new appliances. Additionally, this opens to more consumers such as hair stylists using them in salons.

Dyson’s is known for their innovative designs and engineering expertise. They have teams worldwide that dedicate their time on perfecting appliances and designing them based on target customers concerns about todays products. Additionally, Dyson focuses on quality, convenience, and safety. Their current customers understand their knowledge in the industry of household appliances, so it is natural that they create an amazing tool to improve hair appliances.

Lastly, Dyson continues to promote a similar and consistent lifestyle brand. Dyson is known for their high-quality appliances among families with middle-high income. This designer and high priced item fits their new beauty tools perfectly within their product line up. Dyson’s high-end appliances on their website is consistent with looks and offering the best technology. Customers enjoy the benefit of having futuristic designed tools at home, which do not compare to the lower costs products.
