Tea Stalls Analogy

There were two tea stalls on the same road.

Both sold tea at the same price and same taste.

Tea Stalls Analogy

  • Stall A had no name board.
  • Its cups changed every day, and there was no fixed colour or style.
  • People simply called it “that tea stall.”
  • Stall B had a name board.
  • The same yellow colour everywhere, the same style cups, and the tagline “Ek cup freshness.”
  • People called it Sharma Chaiwala”.

Tea Stalls Analogy

People started saying, “Let’s go to Sharma Chaiwala.” Even new customers could identify it easily. The tea was the same, but one stall had an identity. That identity is branding.
