6. Brand equity is a phrase used in the marketing industry
which describes the value of having a well-known brand
name, based on the idea that the owner of a well-known
brand name can generate more money from products with
that brand name than from products with a less well known
name, as consumers believe that a product with a well-
known name is better than products with less well-known
names. Companies can create brand equity for their
products by making them memorable, easily recognizable
and superior in quality and reliability.
