Because of past experiences with the product and its marketing program over the years, consumers find out which brands satisfy their needs and which ones do not. As a result, brands provide a shorthand device or means of simplification for their product decisions’ (Keller, 2008: 6) • ‘If consumers recognize a brand an have some knowledge about it, then they do not have to engage in a lot of additional thought or processing of information to make a product decision’ (Keller, 2008: 6). • ‘Whenever and wherever consumers are deciding between alternatives, brands can play an important decision-making role. Accordingly, marketers can benefit from branding whenever consumers are in a choice situation’ (Keller, 2008: 10-11). • ‘Knowledge of what a brand stands for and past experiences with the brand allow customers to make a quick and easy decision’ (Duncan, 2008: 74).

Modern Definition: • ‘To brand a product it is necessary to teach consumers what the product is by giving it a name and using other brand elements to help identify it as well as what the product does and why consumers should care. In other words, marketers must give consumers a label for the product and provide meaning for the brand’ (Keller, 2008: 10). • Branding refers to ‘the process of creating a brand image that engages the hearts and minds of customers’ (Duncan, 2008: 71).
