Chapter 3 Brand: “Is that what you think of me?” Instructor’s Presentation Slides
Introduction • Connecting brand with customers • Understanding customer needs is one way to connect the brand with the customers • Companies need to focus on customer needs and have to move up/down the value chain to stay connected with customers
Defining Customer Brand Value • Customer Brand Value is the net effect of a customer’s brand knowledge, brand attitude, brand purchase intention, and brand behavior formed due to prior brand experience and the marketing of a brand
Measuring Customer Brand Value • Each customer’s perception of the brand is different and cannot be generalized and looked at as a collective measure • It is crucial to understand how a customer’s behavior and attitude changes based on the brand value perceptions • Individual customer perception of the brand needs to be evaluated for profitability
