What are the tricks to get unsecured personal loan at affordable interest rate?

In case of an unsecured personal loan, the borrowers are not required to provide security deposit against the loan. Unlike secured loan, the borrowers are not exposed to the risk of losing their valuable assets if they default on their payment. Generally, the interest on the unsecured personal loan is high as there is high risk associated with lending money to a borrower without collateral. You might be wondering whether lowest personal loan rates are possible. So here are a few effective ways to get unsecured personal loan at affordable interest rate.

1. If you are planning to get an unsecured personal loan at affordable interest rate then make sure that you maintain a good credit score. Maintaining a good financial report will help you get an unsecured loan at lower interest rate. The creditor might check your credit report before approving your loan application. The lenders will consider you high risk borrower if you have low credit score along with poor credit report. In this situation, your application for low interest personal loan might not be approved.

2. Try to apply for unsecured personal loan at the bank where you have opened your savings account. If you have maintained good credit report then some banks offer preferential treatment for their existing customers. 

3. Check different websites of the banks in your area and compare the rates offered by various banks. If you shop around for loan rates then you might be luck enough to get lower rates on unsecured personal loan. There might be online lenders who might be willing to offer loan on lower rates to borrowers with good credit report.

4. If you do not have good credit score then get a co signer with a good credit history. Once your kin signs on your behalf, your rate of interest on the loan will be determined on the basis of his credit report. The creditor will provide you loan on the basis of his credit report, therefore if you default on your payment your co-signer's credit will be blemished.

5. You can negotiate with the bank manager to lower the interest rate on your unsecured personal loan. It will be easier to convince the manager to lower the interest if you provide evidence that you exercise financial discipline and maintain a good credit history.

6. You can approach your friends or family to give you loan. Your relatives or close friends might not even charge interest on the loan amount. If you have poor credit score then approaching your relatives for loan can be a good solution to your problem. Therefore, these are six effective ways to get loan on affordable interest rate that will help you avoid burning a hole in your pocket.

Common Reasons for Re-Branding and the Risks It Entails

What is Re-Branding? 
The marketing term “re-branding” involves a radical makeover of an existing brand, product etc., especially one which has failed to meet the marketing results desired by the business. In the re-branding process, the existing product or brand is essentially reinvented as a majority of its features and characteristics are comprehensively redesigned such as its name, image, term, symbol, design etc. After the product has been successfully reinvented, it is reintroduced into the market with the aim of encouraging renewed favorable sentiment for the product among customers and stakeholders. Therefore, re-branding essentially entails reinvention, redesign and reintroduction of an existing brand to increase its profitability and marketability.

In 2003, Lego axed all its sub-brands by extensively re-branding its entire product range with the introduction of a new slogan to reiterate what the brand represents. When do companies adopt a re-branding strategy and why? If a company already owns a successful brand that is established well in the market and is also highly profitable, why would it possibly want to re-brand it? There are several reasons why the thought may appeal to a business but the most common is related to the product’s life cycle. Theoretically, all brands have a certain life-cycle and gradual aging causes them to lose their appeal and originality in the market. As a result, businesses attempt to reinvent and redesign a successful brand in a bid to retain the market share that the aged brand secured.

Other common reasons for adopting a re-branding strategy are:
 * Fixing the company’s damaged reputation 
* Increasing brand recognition in the market 
* Reflecting New Management 
* Forced post-bankruptcy re-branding 

Does Re-Branding entail inherent risks? 
To give the answer in one word - yes. Re-branding is not always a profitable venture to embark upon and many businesses have learned this lesson the hard way. Re-branding demands meticulous research and thorough planning along with tremendous amount of monetary funding. And yet, a positive outcome is not always guaranteed since it depends on just too many external factors. This makes re-branding a highly risky endeavor as financing it can cause a business to go bankrupt. Therefore, it should be attempted only by businesses that have a diversified portfolio of successful products and services to be able to sustain possible failure. Even with meticulous planning and thorough research, re-branding has a propensity to cause as much damage to a business as it promises success. Customers identify a brand by its prominent features and characteristics. In such cases, re-branding can cause a horde of brand recognition problems for an already established and popular brand. This is because existing customers could infer that the business has shut down operations, has gone bankrupt or changed their product line.
