There are many terms used in the shipping industry that we don’t completely understand. For example, one of the shipping terms we hear a lot is “feeder vessel” and “mother vessel“. These terms refer to two types of shipping vessels that are part of vessel carrying networks. This topic is a part of our import export management course.  

Feeder Vessel-  

Basically, feeder vessels ferry cargo from smaller ports to larger ports for export and from large main ports to smaller ports for import.   Feeder vessels are normally smaller than mother vessels and serves between small ports and major ports. Feeder vessels are also slower than mother vessels.  A feeder vessel typically has a capacity of 300 to 500 TEUs (20′ containers). Feeder vessels generally serve short distances, either between smaller ports or between smaller ports and major ports. 

Mother Vessel- 

As compared to feeder vessels, mother vessels are bigger. Mother vessels only sail between the major big ports. Mother vessels are capable of carrying thousands of containers. Mother vessels only cruise the main ports. In comparison to the feeder vessel, the mother vessel covers a greater distance.  A Mother Vessel has an average capacity of 10000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equipment Units). In 1960s, a vessel could only carry 500 – 800 TEUs. Today, vessels with a capacity of 15000 TEUs are available.  Have you figured out what a Mother vessel and Feeder vessel are?

ICD stands for Inland Container Depots. They are located inland and far from seaports. ICD is a term used in Indian trade to describe imports and exports of goods from the sea. ICD is a way for importers and exporters to manage their shipments close to where they live. Join our advanced export import management course and learn more about ICD.    The Inland Container Depot (ICD) helps importers and exporters save time and money in procedures and formalities if the seaport is far away from their places of business. Get our export-import training program and learn more about international trade.   To facilitate exporters and importers, Inland Container Depot (ICD) combines the services of sea custodians, customs departments, carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, etc.  Many countries also use ICD as a dry port or a container freight station.  Exporters can place their cargo inside the containers at ICDs before they are sent to the ports and loaded onto the ships. ICDs store containers temporarily until they can be moved to the ports for loading.   In addition to providing storage, ICDs can also facilitate export and import customs clearances, as all the services provided by ports can also be obtained by ICDs that are located away from ports.  The above information is a part of the Digital Exim Online Training Course.

India is overflowing with Milk and Honey. People of India not only indulged in the consumption of these products but also dedicated themselves to the increased production of milk. Export Import Trade embraced the export of milk from India since 1995. 

Ever since the White Revolution in India, the milk and dairy industry has been flourishing. Indian Leaders realized the potential of milk and other dairy products and started exporting to the countries of the world. 

As the world crisis for milk and other dairy products increased India’s supplies of the same too increased. In the year 2000 milk export saw a huge hike and that encouraged to export more and earn more for the Indian dairy industry.

India exports milk to more than 15 countries but the neighbouring countries have the biggest advantage. India is located among the milk-deficit countries in Asia hence further increasing milk and dairy export.

Here are the top 5 countries India exports milk to:

• Bangladesh – 8.3 Cr – 6 k Tons
• Bhutan – 6 Cr – 1.8 k Tons
• Afghanistan – 3.8 cr – 2 k Tons
• Nepal – 3.27 Cr – 1.2 Tons
• Pakistan – 1 Cr – 822 Tons

The advantage of exporting to neighboring countries is that fresh milk can be exported and the transport is comparatively easy. Milk powder and other dairy products are also exported and yield huge returns.

Local milk sellers can also grab the opportunity and think about expanding their local business to international levels. The local milk sellers can become international traders if proper planning and management are done.

The countries in the European Union are also huge importers of milk from India. Indian milk is in demand all over the world. Indian leaders must come up with ideas and proper management to increase milk production in India and also simultaneously increase exports.

Many Export Import Courses in India, in their technical teachings of Export Import Trade, focuses on Incoterms yet fail to make it simple. International trade is incomplete without Incoterms. Incoterms are the basic principle on which the Export Import Trade of the whole world runs smoothly.

Since Incoterms are so important that they can not be avoided, we decided to shed some light on the topic and make it simpler to understand. 

Let us begin with a definition of Incoterms:

The International Chamber of Commerce, widely known as ICC, published a set of International Commercial Terms, more frequently known as Incoterms, to facilitate commerce around the world.

Incoterms are norms for determining the responsibilities of buyers and sellers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts for international trade. These are independent of the price determined for any product by Exporter, as they are only a part of the whole export contract. 

Incoterms are also independent of the method of payment that will be used in the transaction. Changes in the Incoterms were made in 2020, and according to these changes, transfer of ownership of the goods, breach of contract or product liability; all of these issues need to be considered in the contract of sale. Also, Incoterms 2020 rules can’t override any local country laws.

• The inception of Incoterms:

The concept of Incoterms came into existence because the difference in trading practices and legal interpretations between traders of different countries necessitated a common set of rules.

Incoterms were first conceived by the ICC in 1921, and the first Incoterms rules were created in 1936. They were officially designated as Incoterms in 1936. Since then, Incoterms have evolved into a codified worldwide contractual standard. They are periodically updated when international trade events require attention. Amendments and additions were made in 1953, 1967, 1976, 1980, 2000, 2010 and 2020. 

It was no small task to make such terms and put them into practice. The international trade terms were decided by 13 ICC commissions made up of private-sector experts from across the world. These individuals specialize in everything from fields of immediate concern to international business. 

These Incoterms are not only widely accepted but also put into practice by traders around the world. 

If and when needed, the incoterms rules are changed and redefined. How are the incoterms changed and why does it happen is mentioned below.

The Incoterms 2020 drafting group, led by co-chairs Christoph Martin Radtke and David Lowe, was in charge of revising the Incoterms rules. This group is formed by experts from various nationalities chosen for their extraordinary contribution to international commercial law and to the International Chamber of Commerce over the years.

After the drafting group made its revisions, the revised drafts were circulated broadly and internationally through ICC National Committees, with the resulting comments and suggestions channelled back to the drafting group.

The final draft, once approved by the ICC Commission on Commercial Law and Practice, was submitted for adoption by the ICC Executive Board.

This broad, international consultation aimed to ensure that official ICC products possess an authority, representing the true consensus of the world business community.

What does it mean when the following terms are used!

• EXW:

The seller fulfils its obligations by having the goods available for the buyer to pick up at its premises or another named place (i.e. factory, warehouse, etc.) on a date agreed upon by both parties or within an agreed-upon timeframe.

With Ex Works, the buyer bears all risk and costs starting when the goods are made available to the buyer at the seller’s location or other named place until the products are delivered to its location. The seller has no obligation to load the goods or clear them for export. 

• FCA:

The seller is responsible for either making the goods available at its own premises or at a pre-decided place. In either case, the exporter is responsible for loading the goods on the buyer’s transport and is responsible for delivery to the port and export clearance including security requirements. Risk is transferred once the goods are loaded on the buyer’s transport.

Problems occurred when previously sellers had to load goods on transport, especially when the exporter and had agreed on using a letter of credit as the payment method for this transaction, banks often require the seller to present a bill of lading with an on-board notation before they can get paid.

• CPT:

Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller at a named place of shipment. Seller is responsible for the international transportation costs associated with delivering goods to the named foreign place of destination.

The transfer of risk, on the other hand, transfers from the seller to the buyer as soon as the goods are delivered to the international carrier. 

• CIP:

Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller at a named place of shipment, at which point risk transfers to the buyer. Seller is responsible for the transportation costs associated with delivering goods and procuring insurance coverage to the named place.

• DAP:

DAP means the buyer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with unloading the goods and clearing customs to import the goods into the named country of destination. Seller clears the goods for export and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named foreign destination not unloaded.

• DUP:

DPU is very similar to DAP except that the seller must pay for unlading the goods. Like DAP, the seller clears the goods for export and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named place, which can be a port or other named location in the foreign destination. The buyer is responsible for all costs and risks from this point forward including clearing the goods for import at the named country of destination.

• DDP:

According to the changes made in 2020 DDP Incoterms means the seller bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named place of destination ready for unloading and cleared for import.

• FAS: 

Free Alongside Ship, in this sellers, clear the goods for export and delivers them when they are placed alongside the vessel at the named port of shipment. Buyer assumes all risks/costs for goods from this point forward. This is not a commonly used term except for goods that may be difficult to load.

• FOB: 

Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are onboard the vessel at the named port of shipment. Buyer assumes all risks and costs for goods from this moment forward.

• CFR:

Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are onboard the vessel at the port of shipment. The seller bears the cost of freight to the named port of destination. Buyer assumes all risks for the goods from the time the goods have been delivered on board the vessel at the port of shipment.

• CIF:

Seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are onboard the vessel at the port of shipment. The seller bears the cost of freight and insurance to the named port of destination. 

Incoterms are meant to aid your export and let you know what your liability is and to what extend! Follow the incoterms and let them guide you towards successful trade.

Export Import trade depends upon many things and the knowledge of incoterms must be incorporated if you intend to be knowledgeable in the industry. If you are an Exporter or a buyer, the knowledge of the basics of logistics, shipping, transportation is a must.

What is a Brand?

Defining Branding

Before we delve into the intricacies of branding and marketing, let’s start with a fundamental question: What is a brand? At its core, a brand is much more than a logo or a catchy tagline. It’s the perception that people have about your company, products, or services. A brand encompasses the sum total of all interactions, experiences, and associations that a customer has with your business.

The Evolution of Branding

The concept of branding dates back to ancient times when cattle ranchers would mark their livestock with unique symbols to distinguish them from others. Fast forward to the industrial revolution, and branding took on a new meaning as mass production brought about the need for product differentiation. In the modern era, branding has evolved into a sophisticated discipline that combines psychology, marketing, and design to create a unique identity and experience for customers.

The Elements of a Brand

A brand consists of several elements, each playing a crucial role in shaping its identity:

Brand Name: The name of your company or product is often the first thing people encounter. It should be memorable and reflective of your brand’s values and mission.

Logo: The visual representation of your brand, the logo is a symbol that should convey your brand’s personality and essence.

Tagline: A succinct and memorable phrase that summarizes your brand’s promise or unique selling proposition.

Color Palette: Colors evoke emotions and can influence how people perceive your brand. Think about the vibrant red of Coca-Cola or the calming blue of Facebook.

Typography: The fonts you use in your branding materials can convey a sense of sophistication, friendliness, or professionalism.

Voice and Tone: Your brand’s personality should come through in its written and spoken communication. Are you formal and authoritative, or casual and friendly?

Brand Story: A narrative that tells the history, values, and mission of your brand. It helps customers connect with your brand on a deeper level.

The Importance of Branding

Establishing Trust and Credibility

One of the most significant advantages of a strong brand is the trust and credibility it instills in consumers. When people recognize and trust a brand, they are more likely to choose its products or services over those of competitors. This trust is built over time through consistent messaging, quality products, and positive customer experiences.

Creating Emotional Connections

Effective branding goes beyond rational decision-making; it taps into emotions. Brands that connect with customers on an emotional level often enjoy fierce loyalty. Think about the emotional bond people have with brands like Apple or Disney. These companies have mastered the art of creating emotional connections that keep customers coming back for more.

Differentiating from Competitors

In crowded markets, differentiation is key to success. A strong brand helps you stand out from the competition by highlighting what makes your business unique. This differentiation can be based on product quality, innovation, customer service, or values. Without a strong brand, you risk becoming a commodity, easily replaceable by a cheaper or more convenient alternative.

Influencing Consumer Behavior

Branding has a profound impact on consumer behavior. It can influence purchasing decisions, drive customer loyalty, and even command premium prices. Consider the luxury fashion industry, where brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci can charge exorbitant prices for their products because their brands are associated with exclusivity and prestige.

The Role of Marketing in Branding

Marketing vs. Branding

While branding and marketing are closely related, they are not the same thing. Marketing is the process of promoting and selling products or services, whereas branding is about creating a distinct identity and perception in the minds of consumers. However, the two are interconnected. Marketing activities are the tools used to communicate and reinforce the brand’s message.

The Marketing Mix

The marketing mix, often referred to as the 4Ps, is a foundational framework in marketing:

Product: This refers to the actual goods or services you offer. Your product should align with your brand’s promise and values.

Price: Pricing strategy can impact how customers perceive your brand. Are you a luxury brand with premium pricing or a budget-friendly option?

Place: This involves the distribution channels through which customers can access your product or service. Your brand’s availability can affect its perception.

Promotion: Promotion includes all the marketing and advertising activities you undertake to communicate your brand’s message and persuade customers to buy.

Building Brand Awareness

One of the primary marketing goals in branding is to build brand awareness. This means ensuring that your target audience knows about your brand and can recognize it. Effective marketing strategies for brand awareness include advertising, content marketing, social media, and public relations.

Crafting a Brand Image

Marketing also plays a crucial role in shaping and maintaining your brand’s image. Every piece of marketing collateral, from advertisements to social media posts, should align with your brand’s identity and message. Consistency in your marketing efforts reinforces the image you want to project.

Strategies for Building a Strong Brand

Define Your Brand Identity

Your brand identity is the unique set of characteristics that define your brand. To develop a strong brand identity:

Clarify Your Values: What does your brand stand for? What are its core values and beliefs? These should guide your brand’s actions and decisions.

Know Your Audience: Understand your target audience’s needs, preferences, and pain points. Tailor your brand’s message to resonate with them.

Craft a Unique Value Proposition: What sets your brand apart? Identify what makes your product or service unique and communicate this clearly.

Design a Memorable Logo: Invest in a professionally designed logo that encapsulates your brand’s essence.

Understand Your Target Audience

Your brand should be built with your target audience in mind. Conduct thorough market research to understand their demographics, behaviors, and preferences. Use this information to tailor your branding and marketing efforts to resonate with your audience.

Consistency is Key

Consistency is vital in branding. All aspects of your brand, from your logo to your customer service, should reflect the same values and personality. Inconsistencies can confuse customers and dilute your brand’s strength.

Innovation and Adaptability

While consistency is essential, it’s also crucial to adapt to changing market conditions and consumer preferences. Successful brands stay relevant by innovating and evolving over time. Consider how companies like Netflix transitioned from a DVD rental service to a streaming giant.

Measuring Brand Success

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

To gauge the effectiveness of your branding and marketing efforts, you need to track key performance indicators. These might include metrics like:

Brand Awareness: How many people recognize your brand?

Customer Loyalty: How many customers are repeat buyers?

Market Share: What percentage of the market does your brand occupy?

Customer Satisfaction: Are your customers happy with your products and services?

Return on Investment (ROI): How much revenue is generated for every dollar spent on marketing?

Customer Feedback and Surveys

Listening to your customers is invaluable in understanding how your brand is perceived. Conduct surveys and gather feedback to uncover strengths and weaknesses in your branding and marketing efforts.

Competitive Analysis

Keep a close eye on your competitors. Analyze their branding and marketing strategies to identify opportunities and threats. This can help you refine your own approach and maintain a competitive edge.

Challenges in Branding and Marketing

Staying Relevant in a Digital World

In the digital age, where information travels at lightning speed, brands must adapt quickly. Staying relevant means mastering digital marketing, social media engagement, and online reputation management.

Managing a Crisis

No brand is immune to crises. Whether it’s a product recall, a public relations disaster, or a social media backlash, how you handle crises can impact your brand’s reputation for years to come. Preparedness and transparency are key.

Adapting to Market Changes

Market dynamics are constantly shifting. Technological advances, changes in consumer behavior, and economic fluctuations can all affect your brand’s success. Being agile and adaptable is essential to navigate these changes successfully.

Case Studies in Branding Excellence

Apple Inc.

Apple is a prime example of a brand that has transcended its industry. Known for innovation, sleek design, and a cult-like following, Apple has consistently delivered on its brand promise. Its marketing campaigns have been iconic, creating a sense of anticipation and desire for its products.

Nike

Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan is a testament to the power of a strong brand message. By aligning with athletes and promoting a message of empowerment, Nike has built a brand that is synonymous with athleticism and determination.

Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola’s brand has stood the test of time. Its timeless logo, memorable jingles, and emotionally resonant advertising campaigns have made it a global icon. Coca-Cola’s branding has remained consistent even as it adapts its product line to changing consumer preferences.

Conclusion

In a world where consumers are bombarded with choices, a strong brand is your best asset. It’s the foundation of trust, the generator of loyalty, and the catalyst for growth. But building and maintaining a brand is not a one-time effort; it’s an ongoing journey. It requires a deep understanding of your brand’s identity, your target audience, and the ever-evolving market. By investing in branding and marketing, you’re not just selling products or services; you’re creating a lasting legacy in the minds and hearts of your customers. So, embrace the power of branding, and let your brand shine in the marketplace.
