Brändiequityn

Brändiequityn, or brand equity, refers to the commercial value derived from consumer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service, rather than from the product or service itself. It is the intangible asset that a brand possesses, built over time through consistent delivery of quality, positive customer experiences, and effective marketing. High brand equity means that consumers are more likely to choose a familiar brand over others, even if competing products are similar or cheaper. This loyalty can translate into premium pricing power, increased market share, and greater resilience against competitive threats.

The components of brand equity are often categorized into brand awareness, perceived quality, brand associations, and brand loyalty. Brand awareness is the extent to which consumers are familiar with a brand. Perceived quality is the consumer's judgment about a product's or service's overall excellence or superiority. Brand associations are anything linked in memory to a brand, such as attributes, benefits, attitudes, or experiences. Brand loyalty represents the degree to which customers are committed to repurchasing or continuing to use a brand. Building and managing brand equity is a long-term strategic objective for businesses, requiring continuous investment in product development, customer service, and brand communication to maintain and enhance its value.
