Brand promotion refers to raising customer awareness of a product or brand to generate sales and create loyalty. It is one of the four elements of the marketing mix, along with price, place, and product. Toyota is given as an example of good brand promotion through launching the Lexus brand, popularizing luxury crossovers and hybrid vehicles. Brand promotion benefits businesses by helping them face competition and increase market share, and benefits consumers by providing product information to help them make choices while saving time and maintaining standards of living. It also benefits society by facilitating mass production and economies of scale.
