The result of a succession of brand extensions is a brand portfolio, which will be characterized by greater or lesser brand breadth (Boush and Loken 1991). Brand breadth refers to the diversity of product types under a given brand name. Brand breadth is largely determined by consumer perceptions of how typical and similar successive extensions are. For example, if extensions of the brand are in the form of new products that closely resemble existing products, the outcome would be a narrow brand. A broad brand would be the result if the opposite were the case. In the latter case, a distinct meaning for the brand can still be maintained by focusing on an abstract dimension that spans the portfolio and can unite and unify the distinct products associated with the brand. It is important to ask what each member of the portfolio family derives from the parent brand and what they give back. Does each member reflect the brand meaning and vision of the parent?
