What is Brand Equity? “BE is a set of brand assets / liabilities linked to a brand, its name or symbol that add to or subtract from the value provided by a product or service to a customer”
Components of Brand Equity • Awareness: Name & Symbols • Perceived Quality • Brand Associations • Brand Loyalty • Other Proprietary Brand Assets
Awareness: Name & Symbols • Recognised vs. Unknown Brand • Familiarity drives perception • Familiar = Reliable + Good Quality • Unknown only a push option
Brand Associations • People, situations, moods, needs that consumers relate a brand to/with • Helps the brand occupy a distinct mindspace • Drives purchase
Perceived Quality • Consumers are not engineers! • Quality is based on perception and not specifications • Brands drive perception of quality • Perception drives purchase, premium justification and ease of extension
Brand Loyalty • Cost of acquiring new customers is 10 times the cost of retaining old ones! • Products are non-living but brands aren’t • Customers associate themselves with brands (preservance/enhancement) • Difficult to break-away to competition
Other Proprietary Assets • Trademarks • Patents • Channel Relationships
