On the negative side, brand extensions can confuse consumers and dilute brand meaning, as Ries and Trout (2001, p. 229) allege was the case with the Scott brand: “The more products hung on the Scott name, the less meaning the name has to the average consumer.” This, argue the authors, was a case of Scott Paper falling into the “line extension trap” and overextending the Scott brand as it was expanded to encompass Scot Tissue bathroom tissue, Scot Towels paper towels, Scotties facial tissues and BabyScot diapers. In the 1980s Levi’s intro-duced a line of men’s suits sold as separates (jackets and trousers) called Levi Tailored Classics. The venture failed because the Levi’s brand meaning could not accommodate the concept of quality tailored suits. Incidentally, when, some years later, Levi’s introduced its range of khakis, it did so under a different brand name—Dockers (cf. Disney’s use of the Miramax and Touchstone brands for its more adult-oriented films, mentioned in Chapter 5).
