MARKETING MANAGEMENT
DEFINITION:
BRAND EQUITY
BRAND
EQUITY
19
What is Brand equity?
The goal of Brand leadership paradigm is to create strong brand anyway? In managing
Brand equity, brand equity was defined as the brand assets or [liabilities] linked to a
brand’s name and symbol that add to [or subtract from] a product or service. These assets
can be grouped in to four dimensions brand awareness, perceived quality, brand
associations and brand loyalty. These four dimensions guide brand development,
management and measurement.
Brand awareness:
Brand awareness is an often undervalued asset; however, awareness has been shown to
affect perceptions and even taste. People like the familiar and are prepared to ascribe all
sorts of good attitudes to items that are familiar to them. The Intel Inside campaign has
dramatically transferred awareness into perceptions of technological superiority and
market acceptance.
Perceived quality:
Brand association can be anything that connects the customer to the brand. It can
include user imagery, product attributes, use situations, Organizational associations,
brand personality and symbols. Much of brand management involves determining what
associations to develop and then creating programs that will link the associations to the
brand.

Brand loyalty:
Brand loyalty is at the heart of any brand’s value. The concept is to strengthen the size
and intensity of each loyalty segment. A brand with a small but intensely loyal customer
base can have significant equity.
Brand Preference :
The stage of brand loyalty at which a brand will select a particular brand but will
choose a competitor’s brand if the preferred brand is unavailable. See Brand insistence;
Brand recognition.
Customer Satisfaction:
If the customer's expectations of product quality, service quality, and price are
exceeded, a firm will achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and will create
"customer delight." If the customer's expectations are not met, customer dissatisfaction
will result. And the lower the satisfaction level, the more likely the customer is to stop
buying from the firm.
