Importance of Brand Equity

All that brand equity means to businesses

According to the American Marketing Association, brand equity arises out of the consumer’s favorable perception of a brand.  It is based on the consumers’ attitudes about positive brand attributes and favorable consequences of brand use. Most importantly it is the value a brand provides to an organization. Consumers’ perception of the brand can be positive or negative. Depending on that brand equity can be low or high.

Still, once a brand has earned positive equity, it can keep enjoying its benefits. However, brands should focus on sustaining it. Brand equity has a strong impact on consumer behavior.Importance of Brand Equity
