A target market is a group of customers that the business has decided to aim its marketing efforts and ultimately its merchandise towards. Eg: like noddy, oswald for really young kids, shows like ben ten, dexter, pokemon etc for the children in preteens, dragon ball z for teens.Cartoon network started cartoons adopted from mythological stories like chotabheem and ramayana, which generated interest of children in mythological stories and also parents didn’t discourage children from this television time.Anime are japanese cartoons and computer animation. These cartoons are aimed at children who prefer watching action cartoons and have a devoted fan following. These cartoons would normally run for longer duration than other cartoon series, for eg: dragon ball z. Not only are they targeting children through television, but also through the online platform through gaming on their website., since the new generation of children are very proficient with computers.
Since cartoon network was not a known brand, it tied up with turner classic movies or TNT which was a known brand at that point in time and featured cartoons from 5.30 am to 5.30pm, which was later extended to 9pm before cartoon network became a full fledged channel itself.It positioned itself as the first channel of cartoons dedicated to children. Thus becoming first in a category where players like disney, nickelodeon and pogo followed.So, from initially airing only hannahbarbara cartoons, moving on to airing MGM cartoons to then the Warner bros cartoons. However, as competition crept in, it started airing original shows like dexter’s laboratory, I am weasel, ed-edd n eddy, etc.By early 2000, as new players entered the market, it kept running its originals, adding on to that, and also started new programming blocks like toonami which featured anime cartoons like dragon ball z, cartoon cartoonfridays, acme hour, prime time, cartoon network after dark.Points of difference are attributes or benefits consumers strongly associate with a brand, positively evaluate and believe they could not find to the same extent with a competitive brand.
Cartoon network changed it’s logo to better position its brand and keep it fresh.So it’s first logo which ran from ------ was a chequered black and white board saying cartoon network, which transformed to a logo which portrayed a 3D animation of CN city where all the cartoon network toons lived. And finally during, on october 1st, 2011 ,it introduced its new logo and branding which again makes heavy use of the black and white checkerboard motif, the new slogan being, it’s a fun thing.
In March 2001, Cartoon Network, held a cricket tournament titled 'Toon Cricket 2001,' in Mumbai, India. In the tournament, famous cricket players were to play against famous cartoon characters such as Scooby Doo, Tom, Jerry, Fred Flintstone, Dee Dee, and Johnny Bravo.
