ASSESSMENT OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELEMENTS OF MARKETING MIX AND BRAND EQUITY

Abstract

Branding is a Guarantee, an assurance for a defined standard of quality for the first time and for every time but not the vice versa. Brands do not compete in the product area but compete for the mind space of the customer. A brand once established in the mind of the customer becomes indelible when customer identifies itself with that particular Brand. Branding therefore is an effective marketing strategy tool that has been used with frequent success in the past. Branding can be an effective and powerful tool for all types of business organizations. If brand owners use their product correctly, the payoffs can be substantial. However, if brands are mismanaged, the results can be damaging. This report is aimed to investigate the impact of branding on consumer preference. How much consumers are prepared to pay for branded products, how important they consider price, branding or other factors during their purchasing decisions. The Report comprehensively reviewed literature on branding, brand loyalty, brand awareness, brand equity and brand perceptions, price sensitivity and willingness to pay.
