Nestle Kit Kat or Kitto Katsu in Japan


When KitKat was launched in Japan, the Japanese immediately noticed something; "Kitto Katsu".

The Japanese or Far Eastern communities in general are sensitive to good luck, bad luck, curse. For example, the number "4". Probably the most unfortunate number in Asian culture is 4. Its reading is “si” and it is similar to “şı” meaning “death”. https://nestle.jp/brand/kit/chocolatory/

Besides, the number "8" (hachi) is the most popular number in Asian culture due to its similarity to the Chinese word meaning wealth and wealth. Anyone remember the opening date of the Beijing Summer Olympics? Sing; At 08.08.08 the time is exactly at 08.08.08.

This business has no advantages. For example, did you know that Nestle's KitKat chocolate is one of the most preferred chocolates in Japan? This is because chocolate is believed to bring good luck due to its name.

When KitKat was launched in Japan, people immediately noticed something. Chocolate's name is "Always win!" It was similar to the Japanese word "Kitto Katsu". Over time, the fashion spread among students for eating a KitKat before the exam to get good grades, or carrying KitKat in their bag for just luck. Of course, you estimate Nestle's profit from this business.


Realizing this, Nestle took the job further by acting vigilant. How many varieties of KitKat chocolate have you eaten? Probably just one. Hold tight, about 60 varieties are sold in Japan. Rose, watermelon, even pepper, soda ...

It is very important for a brand to know its market well. Nestle was lucky about KitKat.

Markaların Ölümle Dansı

Martin Lindstrom’un Buy.ology kitabı tam anlamıyla bir “bomba”. Yeni bitirdiğim kitaptan aldığım notları kısa kısa paylaşacağım. İşte bunlardan ilki; Amerika’da piyasaya sürülen her on üründen sekizinin kaderi başarısızlığa mahkum. 2005’te tüm dünya mağazalarının vitrinlerinde ilk kez yer alan 156.000 ürün , piyasaya her üç dakikada bir yeni bir ürün çıktığına işaret ediyordu. IXP pazarlama grubuna göre, dünya çapında her yıl kabaca 21.000 yeni marka piyasaya çıkıyor, ancak bunların %90’ı bir yıla kalmadan raflardan kayboluyor. Tüketici ürünlerinde tüm yeni markaların %52’si ve bireysel ürünlerin %75’i tutunamıyor. Peki buna çare ne? İnsanlara “Artık yeni marka üretmeyin!” diyemeyeceğinize göre markaların satın alma psikolojimizdeki yerini tespit etmek daha iyi bir çözüm. Yani biz hangi markaları nasıl, neden seçiyoruz?’un cevabı önemli. Ya da hangi markaları tercih etmiyoruz’un cevabı. Lindstrom’un buna cevabı; Nöropazarlama (neuromarketing). Nöropazarlama, kısaca beynimiz...

The Age of Companies’ Struggle with Invoice is Ending!

The transition to e-invoice is a revolutionary decision. This is because, in addition to preventing unnecessary paper consumption, easier tracking of invoice tax amounts charged by companies and of course the  digitalization  of finance / accounting departments was provided. So who provides this service? Provider companies working with RA are providing the basic service for receiving and sending invoices. These companies offer services in creating, sending / receiving e-invoices and reporting with the environments they provide. So far everything is very nice and ideal. The only problem is; Some things have never changed for companies with a large number of invoices. Still the manager / managers have to check and approve the invoices one by one. In short, this is also a process. It is a serious process that requires a lot of effort and time. This process requirement brought forward the idea of  ​​integrating  e-invoice providers with BPM ( process management ) applica...

Corona En Güzel Nasıl İçilir? - How to Drink Corona?

Corona, bizde pek yaygın tüketilmese de dünya çapında epey hayranı olan bir bira markası. Corona’nın bu kadar sevilen ve ünlü olmasının sebeplerinden biri de içim şekli. Corona is a beer brand that has many fans around the world, although it is not widely consumed in our country. One of the reasons why Corona is so popular and famous is the way I drink. Corona, sıkılıp şişenin ağzından içine tıkılan bir parça limonla içilen; yani böyle bir içme ritüeli olan bir bira. Elbette normal de içebilirsiniz ama Corona’yı Corona yapan onun böyle içiliyor olması.  Corona, a piece of lemon that is squeezed and clicked from the mouth of the bottle; that is, a beer with such a drinking ritual. Of course, you can also drink normally, but that's what makes Corona Corona so. Peki bu ritüel nereden geliyor? Bu, Latin kültürüne özel, biranın tadını güzelleştirdiğine inanılan bir ritüel olup, dünyaya böyle yayılmış olabilir mi? So where does this ritual come from? This is a ritual specia...
