INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Brand loyalty occur when a customer make the choice of purchasing one brand
from a set of alternative brands, consistently over a period of time in the traditional
sense. Brand loyalty always consideredto be related to repetitive purchase behavior
of some products. Usually rated as the most important indicator of brand equity,
the reasons for this is that loyalty develops post purchase and indicates a consistent
patronage of a customer over a long period of time, where as all other elements of
brand equity mayor may not transfer in its port folio that are aimed at the same
customer at less expenditure.
Brand loyalty play an important role in achieving the market share of a company. It
has been one of the biggest issues in the world of marketing over the last years.
Loyal brand users not only spread positive word of mouth about their preferred
brand as defending the brand in arguments and discussions, but also often talk
competitive brand down. This suggests that brand loyalty to one brand not only
influence the brand positively, but also possibly have negative effects on the
competitive brands. It is also an potential barrier to the entry of new companies.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Brand Loyalty
Brand loyalty is a very important component of brand value and it
significantly contributes to meaning of brand as a resource of the firm. There
are various approaches to the concept of brand loyalty and what makes that the
concept may have many different meanings. Sometimes the focus is on
emotional ties between the buyer and the brand. In another approach, the focus
is on the loyal behavior of the buyer of a branded product – buyer loyalty
repeats purchase of a brand and is resistant to competitive promotion
(Rudawska 2005). The most comprehensive approach presents brand loyalty as
“a deeply held commitment to re buy or repatronize a preferred product/service
consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same-brand or same-brand-
set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the
potential to cause switching behavior” (Oliver 1999). This definition
simultaneously addresses behavioral and attitudinal elements of the buyer’s
reaction and brand loyalty emerges only in a situation when behavior is
supported by attitude. On this basis, Chaudhuri and Holbrook developed the
concept of purchase loyalty- understood as an interest in repeated purchase of a
given brand and attitudinal loyalty understood as a degree of buyer’s emotional
engagement in a brand (Chaudhuri, Holbrook 2001). Gounaris and
Stathakopoulos added social influences as another dimension to the concept of
brand loyalty and indicated four types of brand loyalty: premium loyalty, inertia
loyalty, covetous loyalty, and no loyalty (Gounaris,Stathakopoulos 2004).
A no loyalty situation is the result of no purchase and also of total
indifference to the brand. Inertia loyalty happens when a buyer buys the brand
but has no emotional ties to it and a purchasing decision is not made under the
influence of the brand image. This happens when a purchase is strongly
influenced by price or there is no other alternative on the market. this type of
loyalty is very fragile because the buyer can easily switch to other brands.
Covetous loyalty is related to no purchase of the brand, but there is a strong
emotional relationship to the brand resulting from environmental/ social
pressure. In this situation, it is difficult to expect loyalty because there is no
personal experience with the brand . As opposite to other determinants of
perceived brand value (brand awareness, brand image, and brand confidence),
an earlier purchase and experience with the brand is necessary for loyalty to
come into being. This often happens in the case of luxury goods. This situation ,
however, is advantageous for the brand owner because it contributes to the
proliferation of the brand image and increases brand awareness . Premium
loyalty refers to buyers having strong emotional ties to the brand, buyers who
regularly buy the brand under social pressure situation, and even in the case of
limited access to the brand, are still ready to search for it. This type of brand
loyalty is the most desired as it creates the highest brand equity.
Determinants of brand loyalty
The search for an answer as to why the customer feels attached to a particular
brand and systematically purchases it is related to one of the fundamental issues
of marketing management. Among academe as in business practice, there is an
overwhelming agreement that among the most important determinants of brand
loyalty is customer satisfaction (Oliver 1999, 33). Customer satisfaction can be
defined as a conclusion related to the use of a brand based on the difference of
earlier expectations and perceived achievements after brand use (Suh,Yi 2006,
146). So, satisfaction is a result of an earlier experience with the brand and
depends on a degree of expectations. Research indicates that only strong
satisfaction may be converted into loyalty and mild feelings of satisfaction do
not lead to brand loyalty (Chandrashekaran, Rotte, Tax, Gre-wal 2007).
Not only meeting but exceeding customers expectation is the key to
building emotional ties to a brand and creating loyalty. The relationship
between loyalty and customer satisfaction, however , is not just a linear
equation. Increased satisfaction is not enough to enforce loyalty and brand
equity. The reasons are as follows:
a)Even satisfied customers switch brand. The reason may be brand
indifference or conviction that another brand equally or even better responds to
customer needs.
b) Unsatisfied customers may stay loyal because it is their belief there is
no better alternative on the market or making the decision regarding switching
is too complicated.
c) Some customers, despite dissatisfaction, stay with the brand because
the earlier brand relationship was important to them and they will give the brand
another chance.
d)Formal restrictions, e.g. long-term agreement, discourage brand switch.
In all , one can make a statement that satisfaction makes a positive influence on
customer attachment to the brand, makes necessary conditions to create loyalty,
but it is not enough. An important determinant is the stage of loyalty is
perceived superiority of a product or service resulting from the quality of the
product, quality of service and quality of the marketing communication process.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
“Brand loyalty as concept has its origins in the 1920s”(Bennett 2001, p.3). The
most commonly used definition of brand loyalty is “The biased (non-random)
behavioral response (purchase) expressed over time by some decision making
unit with respect to one or more alternative brands out of a set of brands and is a
function of psychological processes” (Jacoby 1971, p.25 ). Fournier and Yao
(1997) described the center of companies marketing strategies is the
development and maintenance of consumer brand loyalty. The phenomenon is
especially see in markets with tough competition, highly unpredictable and low
product differentiation. Carroll and Ahuvia (2006) suggested that brand love,
in turn, is associated to higher levels of brand loyalty and positive word-of-
mouth.
Brand loyalty is important as it motivate the consumer that their product has the
required qualities and this becomes the base for a future purchase behavior.
According to Holt (2004, p.950) “ brand loyalty is the consumer’s willingness
to stay with a brand when competitors come knocking with offering that would
be considered equally attractive had not the consumer and brand shared a
history.” Most authors and researchers have focused more on behavioral aspects
of brand loyalty and less on attitudinal aspects of brand loyalty. Dick& Basu
(1994) described behavioral loyalty, dependent on proportional purchase and
purchase sequence. Behavioral loyalty does not provide a comprehensive
picture of loyalty as it fails to explain switching away of customer to a
competitive brand (Allan& Joel, 1996). The behavioral or attitudinal attributes
of loyalty have been further strengthened by Kabiraj&Shanmugan (2001, p.
286), who pointed out that “brand loyalty is the consumer’s conscious decision,
expressed through intention or behavior, to repurchase a brand continually”.
According to Thiele & Bennett (2001), the consumers show different attitude
towards durable goods and consumption goods , In case of durable products a
customer does not buy the product so frequently has he does so in case of
consumption goods . Authors Son K, et al. (2010, p.131) described brand
loyalty as “a deeply held commitment to re-buy or re-patronize a preferred
product/service consistently in the future, causing a repetitive same brand or
same brand-set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts
having the potential to cause switching behavior. ”
It is important to study brand loyalty as plays an important role in brand
extensions as well as brand equity. Mokhtar , et al. (2000 ,p.827) pointed out
that brand loyalty plays and important role in organization’s profitability and
future growth , “Loyal customers stick with their suppliers or service providers
over the long run ”. They also express their loyalty by giving a greater share of
their wallets to their high-value brands or service providers and by generating
word-of-mouth referrals. All of these behaviors will directly affect profitability.
It shows that researcher recognizes, brand loyalty being dependent on both
attitudinal and behavioral attributes of consumers and both elements are equally
important from brand loyalty perspectives.
Brand loyalty concept becomes easy to understand by studying brand loyalty
pyramid proposed by Aaker (1991), as shown in figure 1. He proposed brand
loyalty to be one of the five elements of brand equity.
Committed buyer
Likes
Satisfied
Habitual
Switchers
(Aaker, 1991) pointed out that brand loyalty is a variable having different
levels of strengths depending on a particular customer. Switchers are the
customers, who keep on changing brands due to low switching costs. Habitual
buyers are the people who have a habit to buy the same brand repeatedly, but do
not have an emotional attachment with the product. Satisfied customers are the
people who are loyal to a brand because it continuously satisfies their needs and
wants (Aaker, 1991). Likes have an emotional attachment with the product and
committed customers are at the top of the pyramid. These people share strong
commitment and trust with the brand and value this attachment.
According to Oliver (1999) there is a social connection between the customer
and brand .This social connection helps in development of the loyalty and
satisfaction of the customers towards the brand. Oliver (1999) carried out a
research indicating that satisfaction plays an important role in brand loyalty;
however other factors like quality, customer’s interest in the brand and social
connection between customers and brand also important factor for brand loyalty
development.
Brand Image
Lazarevic (2011) argued that one of the important steps to reach loyalty is
brand image. Based on branding theory, brand image must be congruent with
the customer’s image about themselves. Brand imagery deals with the extrinsic
of the product, including the way that brand attempts to meet customer’s
psychological or social needs. And brand image indicate that people think about
brand abstractly rather than what he brand actually does, therefore image refer
to intangible aspects of the brand(Keller, 2001).
According to Chen & Myagmarsuren (2011) brand image plays an important
role when customer measure products, and it drives customers to become loyal.
Moreover brand image influence the orientation and behavioral character of
customers towards brand, product and company.
Customer satisfaction
Brand satisfaction has a positive influence on brand loyalty (Youl&
Jhon,2010). A satisfied customer is likely to use same brand in future as well.
The satisfied customer is expected to continue purchasing same brand. Trust
and satisfaction are two factors that lead to positive purchase outcome. When
customers have been sure that the company or firm is honest and truthful, then
the customers trust the brand and form a positive buying retention towards the
brand. Moreover trust can lead to customer’s satisfaction and loyalty to the
brand (Anderson &Narus, 1990). When customers fell pleasure and satisfaction
after using a product, it leads to long-term relationship and repeated purchase.
Another factor that influences customer satisfaction and expectation is the
spreading of word of mouth. It means when customers are satisfied with a
brand, they would recommended it to their friends. The customer satisfaction
result improved customer loyalty towards the brand (Dick & Basu, 1994).

  • 7. CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
  • 8. Brand Loyalty Brand loyalty is a very important component of brand value and it significantly contributes to meaning of brand as a resource of the firm. There are various approaches to the concept of brand loyalty and what makes that the concept may have many different meanings. Sometimes the focus is on emotional ties between the buyer and the brand. In another approach, the focus is on the loyal behavior of the buyer of a branded product – buyer loyalty repeats purchase of a brand and is resistant to competitive promotion (Rudawska 2005). The most comprehensive approach presents brand loyalty as “a deeply held commitment to re buy or repatronize a preferred product/service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same-brand or same-brand- set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the potential to cause switching behavior” (Oliver 1999). This definition simultaneously addresses behavioral and attitudinal elements of the buyer’s reaction and brand loyalty emerges only in a situation when behavior is supported by attitude. On this basis, Chaudhuri and Holbrook developed the concept of purchase loyalty- understood as an interest in repeated purchase of a given brand and attitudinal loyalty understood as a degree of buyer’s emotional engagement in a brand (Chaudhuri, Holbrook 2001). Gounaris and Stathakopoulos added social influences as another dimension to the concept of brand loyalty and indicated four types of brand loyalty: premium loyalty, inertia loyalty, covetous loyalty, and no loyalty (Gounaris,Stathakopoulos 2004). A no loyalty situation is the result of no purchase and also of total indifference to the brand. Inertia loyalty happens when a buyer buys the brand but has no emotional ties to it and a purchasing decision is not made under the influence of the brand image. This happens when a purchase is strongly influenced by price or there is no other alternative on the market. this type of
  • 9. loyalty is very fragile because the buyer can easily switch to other brands. Covetous loyalty is related to no purchase of the brand, but there is a strong emotional relationship to the brand resulting from environmental/ social pressure. In this situation, it is difficult to expect loyalty because there is no personal experience with the brand . As opposite to other determinants of perceived brand value (brand awareness, brand image, and brand confidence), an earlier purchase and experience with the brand is necessary for loyalty to come into being. This often happens in the case of luxury goods. This situation , however, is advantageous for the brand owner because it contributes to the proliferation of the brand image and increases brand awareness . Premium loyalty refers to buyers having strong emotional ties to the brand, buyers who regularly buy the brand under social pressure situation, and even in the case of limited access to the brand, are still ready to search for it. This type of brand loyalty is the most desired as it creates the highest brand equity. Determinants of brand loyalty The search for an answer as to why the customer feels attached to a particular brand and systematically purchases it is related to one of the fundamental issues of marketing management. Among academe as in business practice, there is an overwhelming agreement that among the most important determinants of brand loyalty is customer satisfaction (Oliver 1999, 33). Customer satisfaction can be defined as a conclusion related to the use of a brand based on the difference of earlier expectations and perceived achievements after brand use (Suh,Yi 2006, 146). So, satisfaction is a result of an earlier experience with the brand and depends on a degree of expectations. Research indicates that only strong satisfaction may be converted into loyalty and mild feelings of satisfaction do not lead to brand loyalty (Chandrashekaran, Rotte, Tax, Gre-wal 2007). Not only meeting but exceeding customers expectation is the key to building emotional ties to a brand and creating loyalty. The relationship
  • 10. between loyalty and customer satisfaction, however , is not just a linear equation. Increased satisfaction is not enough to enforce loyalty and brand equity. The reasons are as follows: a)Even satisfied customers switch brand. The reason may be brand indifference or conviction that another brand equally or even better responds to customer needs. b) Unsatisfied customers may stay loyal because it is their belief there is no better alternative on the market or making the decision regarding switching is too complicated. c) Some customers, despite dissatisfaction, stay with the brand because the earlier brand relationship was important to them and they will give the brand another chance. d)Formal restrictions, e.g. long-term agreement, discourage brand switch. In all , one can make a statement that satisfaction makes a positive influence on customer attachment to the brand, makes necessary conditions to create loyalty, but it is not enough. An important determinant is the stage of loyalty is perceived superiority of a product or service resulting from the quality of the product, quality of service and quality of the marketing communication process.
  • 12. “Brand loyalty as concept has its origins in the 1920s”(Bennett 2001, p.3). The most commonly used definition of brand loyalty is “The biased (non-random) behavioral response (purchase) expressed over time by some decision making unit with respect to one or more alternative brands out of a set of brands and is a function of psychological processes” (Jacoby 1971, p.25 ). Fournier and Yao (1997) described the center of companies marketing strategies is the development and maintenance of consumer brand loyalty. The phenomenon is especially see in markets with tough competition, highly unpredictable and low product differentiation. Carroll and Ahuvia (2006) suggested that brand love, in turn, is associated to higher levels of brand loyalty and positive word-of- mouth. Brand loyalty is important as it motivate the consumer that their product has the required qualities and this becomes the base for a future purchase behavior. According to Holt (2004, p.950) “ brand loyalty is the consumer’s willingness to stay with a brand when competitors come knocking with offering that would be considered equally attractive had not the consumer and brand shared a history.” Most authors and researchers have focused more on behavioral aspects of brand loyalty and less on attitudinal aspects of brand loyalty. Dick& Basu (1994) described behavioral loyalty, dependent on proportional purchase and purchase sequence. Behavioral loyalty does not provide a comprehensive picture of loyalty as it fails to explain switching away of customer to a competitive brand (Allan& Joel, 1996). The behavioral or attitudinal attributes of loyalty have been further strengthened by Kabiraj&Shanmugan (2001, p. 286), who pointed out that “brand loyalty is the consumer’s conscious decision, expressed through intention or behavior, to repurchase a brand continually”. According to Thiele & Bennett (2001), the consumers show different attitude towards durable goods and consumption goods , In case of durable products a customer does not buy the product so frequently has he does so in case of consumption goods . Authors Son K, et al. (2010, p.131) described brand
  • 13. loyalty as “a deeply held commitment to re-buy or re-patronize a preferred product/service consistently in the future, causing a repetitive same brand or same brand-set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the potential to cause switching behavior. ” It is important to study brand loyalty as plays an important role in brand extensions as well as brand equity. Mokhtar , et al. (2000 ,p.827) pointed out that brand loyalty plays and important role in organization’s profitability and future growth , “Loyal customers stick with their suppliers or service providers over the long run ”. They also express their loyalty by giving a greater share of their wallets to their high-value brands or service providers and by generating word-of-mouth referrals. All of these behaviors will directly affect profitability. It shows that researcher recognizes, brand loyalty being dependent on both attitudinal and behavioral attributes of consumers and both elements are equally important from brand loyalty perspectives. Brand loyalty concept becomes easy to understand by studying brand loyalty pyramid proposed by Aaker (1991), as shown in figure 1. He proposed brand loyalty to be one of the five elements of brand equity.
  • 14. Committed buyer Likes Satisfied Habitual Switchers (Aaker, 1991) pointed out that brand loyalty is a variable having different levels of strengths depending on a particular customer. Switchers are the customers, who keep on changing brands due to low switching costs. Habitual buyers are the people who have a habit to buy the same brand repeatedly, but do not have an emotional attachment with the product. Satisfied customers are the people who are loyal to a brand because it continuously satisfies their needs and wants (Aaker, 1991). Likes have an emotional attachment with the product and committed customers are at the top of the pyramid. These people share strong commitment and trust with the brand and value this attachment. According to Oliver (1999) there is a social connection between the customer and brand .This social connection helps in development of the loyalty and satisfaction of the customers towards the brand. Oliver (1999) carried out a research indicating that satisfaction plays an important role in brand loyalty; however other factors like quality, customer’s interest in the brand and social
  • 15. connection between customers and brand also important factor for brand loyalty development. Brand Image Lazarevic (2011) argued that one of the important steps to reach loyalty is brand image. Based on branding theory, brand image must be congruent with the customer’s image about themselves. Brand imagery deals with the extrinsic of the product, including the way that brand attempts to meet customer’s psychological or social needs. And brand image indicate that people think about brand abstractly rather than what he brand actually does, therefore image refer to intangible aspects of the brand(Keller, 2001). According to Chen & Myagmarsuren (2011) brand image plays an important role when customer measure products, and it drives customers to become loyal. Moreover brand image influence the orientation and behavioral character of customers towards brand, product and company. Customer satisfaction Brand satisfaction has a positive influence on brand loyalty (Youl& Jhon,2010). A satisfied customer is likely to use same brand in future as well. The satisfied customer is expected to continue purchasing same brand. Trust and satisfaction are two factors that lead to positive purchase outcome. When customers have been sure that the company or firm is honest and truthful, then the customers trust the brand and form a positive buying retention towards the brand. Moreover trust can lead to customer’s satisfaction and loyalty to the brand (Anderson &Narus, 1990). When customers fell pleasure and satisfaction after using a product, it leads to long-term relationship and repeated purchase. Another factor that influences customer satisfaction and expectation is the spreading of word of mouth. It means when customers are satisfied with a brand, they would recommended it to their friends. The customer satisfaction result improved customer loyalty towards the brand (Dick & Basu, 1994).
