Brand Equity
• What is it?• How do we measure it?• Using the above, How will we
develop brand strategies /plans?
What is a brand?
A brand is a distinguishing name and /or symbol such as logo, trade mark or package design, intended to identify the goods or services of one seller and to differentiate those goods or services from those of competitors.
What is brand equity ? Meaning.
Brand Equity is a set of brand assets and liabilities linked to a brand through various elements of the product/brand, that add or subtract from the value provided by a product or service to the firm’s customers.
Brand Equity, simply, means - the value of the brand.
Hence , Brand equity means the difference in value perceived while the name of an established brand is mentioned against an unnamed /fictitiously named product to the customer or potential customer.
Eg. The difference that is perceived by a house wife at the mention of
• a pressure cooker • Hawkins pressure cooker.
Hence Measuring Brand EquityMethods are:
1. Cost based - historical, replacement.
2. Price based - Price premium.
3. Customer based method
