Branding plays an important role in consumer purchasing decisions. Strong brands help simplify consumer choice by allowing them to select brands they have trusted in the past. Branding can also provide competitive advantages by differentiating products. Brand equity refers to the financial value and assets associated with a brand name, including consumer goodwill and loyalty. It is created when consumers are willing to pay more for a branded product due to the brand's reputation and perceived quality. Managing brand equity well is important for companies as it can positively impact sales volumes and consumer perceptions.

- Trust and Loyalty: Strong brands build trust with customers over time. Customers become loyal to brands they feel they can rely on. This ensures repeat business and referrals.
- Premium Pricing: Well-known brands with a good reputation can often charge a premium compared to generic or lesser known competitors. Customers feel the brand is worth a higher price.
- Marketing Power: Established brands have power in the marketplace that makes marketing more effective and

Consumer evaluation of brand extensions: can online brands be extended to off...Antonio_mar_alb
This document is a thesis submitted by Antonio Martinez for the award of an MSc in International Business with Marketing from Heriot-Watt University in 2011. The thesis examines whether online brands can be successfully extended to offline product categories from a consumer perspective. It develops a model combining factors from prior brand extension research with variables related to online branding. An empirical survey is analyzed through regression to identify the most important factors influencing consumer attitude toward extensions of online brands. The results indicate that consumer attitude is determined by product similarity, emotional brand associations, marketing support, and involvement in the new product category. The success of online brands expanding offline will depend on building strong brand personality and relationships as well as marketing that reinforces similarity and involvement.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
BRAND AWARENESS MEANING:
Brand awareness is the extent to which a brand is recognized by potential
customers, and is correctly associated with a particular product. Expressed usually as a
percentage of target market, brand awareness is the primary goal of advertising in the
early months or years of a product's introduction.
BRAND AWARENESS
Brand awareness is the degree of familiarity among consumers about the life and
availability of the product. It is measured as ratio of niche marketing that has former
knowledge of brand. Brand awareness includes both brand recognition as well as brand
recall. Brand recognition is the ability of consumer to recognize prior knowledge of
brand when they are asked question about that brand or when they are shown that specific
brand, while brand recall is the potential of consumer to recover a brand from his
memory when the product class/category, needs satisfied by that category or buying
scenario as a signal. In other words, it refers that consumer should correctly recover
brand from the memory when given a clue or he can recall the specific brand when the
product category is mentioned. It is generally easier to recognize a brand rather than
recall it from the memory.
Brand awareness is related to the functions of brand identities in consumers’
memory and can be reflected by how well the consumers can identify the brand under
various conditions. Brand awareness includes brand recognition and brand recall
performance. Brand recognition refers to the ability of the consumers to correctly
differentiate the brand they previously have been exposed to. This does not necessarily
require that the consumers identify the brand name. Instead, it often means that
consumers can response to a certain brand after viewing its visual packaging images.
Brand recall refers to the ability of the consumers to correctly generate and retrieve the
brand in their memory.
12. 2
"Awareness, attitudes, and usage (AAU) metrics relate closely to what has been
called the Hierarchy of Effects, an assumption that customers progress through sequential
stages from lack of awareness, through initial purchase of a product, to brand loyalty." In
total, these AAU metrics allow companies to track trends in customer knowledge and
attitudes.
Brand awareness plays a major role in a consumer’s buying decision-making
process. During this process, the category need is stimulated first. For example, you need
to do food shopping. You will only write down the food categories, like chocolate,
instead of brand names on your list. You will scan the packages of chocolate on the shelf
and recognize different brands. Such recognition might be based on the knowledge of an
acquaintance or friend having used the product in the past or constant advertisement. In
this situation, brand awareness does not require brand recall because brand awareness
may occur along with brand recognition. However, in other situations, brand recall is
required.
Advertising is the activity or profession of producing information for promoting
the sale of commercial products or services. Advertising is used through various media to
generate brand awareness within consumers. They can be aired as radio ads, television
commercials, internet etc.
Guerrilla marketing creative campaigns allows every small firm to compete with
bigger firms by carving out narrow but profitable niches. Nowadays, big firms also use
guerrilla marketing to catch consumers’ attention at low cost. These tactics include
extreme specialization, aiming every effort at favourably impressing the customers,
providing service that goes beyond the customers' expectations, fast response time, quick
turnaround of jobs, and working hours that match the customer's requirements. The term
'Guerrilla Marketing' is a registered trademark of author Jay Levinson who popularized it
through his several 'Guerrilla' books.
CONSUMER PREFERENCES MEANING:
Consumer’s preferences change accordingly with time. Consumer preferences
should be studied with great efforts, so that marketers can design the product based on the
need of the consumer and their preferences about the personal care products.
13. 3
CONSUMER PREFERENCES:
Consumer preferences are defined as the subjective (individual) tastes, as
measured by utility, of various bundles of goods. They permit the consumer to rank these
bundles of goods according to the level they give the consumer. Note that preferences are
independent of income and prices. Ability to purchase goods does not determine a
consumer’s likes or dislikes. This is used primarily to mean an option that has the greatest
anticipated value among a number of options. Preference and acceptance can in certain
circumstances means the same thing but it is useful to keep the distinction in mind with
preference tending to indicate choices among neutral or more valued option with
acceptance indicating a willingness to tolerate the status quo or some less.
If the customer need were met then the customer may turn as an asset to the
company because they become opinion leader for others.
Customer preference is mainly based on the following attributes:
The product or service
The price
The place
Promotion
In this new era of business world, Customers are the real owners. So, each and
every expectation of consumer has to be studied.
Advantages:
To introducing the new design of the product
To remove consumer dissatisfaction
To retain the current customer and also gaining by new one through study the
customer expectations.
Consumer behaviour can be defined as the decision-making process and physical
activity involved in acquiring, evaluating, using and disposing of goods and services.
This definition clearly brings out that it is not just the buying of goods/services that
receives acquired or bought. The study of consumer behaviour is the study of how
individual make decisions to spend their available resources (time, effect, money) on
14. 4
consumption related item. It includes the study of what they buy it, where they buy it,
how often they buy it and how often they use it. It is important to know how
consumer reacts towards different product features, price and advertisement, in order
to ensure strong competitive advantage. All of us are consumer. We consume things
of daily use. We also consume and buy these products according to our needs,
preferences and buying power. In some societies there is a lot of affluence and, these
societies can afford to buy in greater quantities and at shorter interval. In poor
societies, the consumer can barely meet his barest needs.
15. 5
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Etzel et al. (1997) Those views of coincide with the simple but all embracing
definitions of and regarded brand awareness as a remarkably durable and sustainable
asset.
Dunn et al. (1978) viewed advertising from its functional perspectives; Morden
(1991) is of the opinion that advertising is used to establish a basic awareness of the
product.
Alba and Hutchison (1987) propose that experts are more likely to search for
new information because (a) expertise increases awareness of the existence of potentially
acquirable information and (b) familiarity reduces the cost of information acquisition.
Ka ferer, in (1988) Hoyer and Brown, in 1990, says “top of mind awareness is
critical as it captures the ‘consideration set’ in a given purchase situation.
Laurent, Kapferer and Roussel, (1995) Study on recall of pictorial
advertisements as compared to non-pictorial advertisements indicate how much more
effective they are rural consumers as compared to urban consumers.
Schmidt and Spreng (1996) further postulate that knowledge increases the
perceived ability to search and therefore should decrease the perceived costs of search.
Greater knowledge has been shown to be positively related to increased involvement with
a category.
Kapferer (1997) suggests that consumers may prefer foreign brands because of
associations of higher prestige. In addition, certain consumers prefer to buy foreign
brands as it enhances their self-image as being cosmopolitan, sophisticated, and modern.
Ben-Akiva et al. (1999) define preferences as “comparative judgments between
entities.” Additional reasons (other than promotions) why consumers may purchase other
brands despite a stated brand preference include a desire to try and learn more about
different brands in the category; changing needs or situations; variety seeking; and
changes in the available alternatives due to new products or improvements to existing
products.

Steenkamp, (1999) explain this better perception by consumers’ feeling of
belonging to a superior, more prestigious segment when consuming global brands.
Nevertheless, this added value for consumers is minor when considering the demand side
of the standardization/adaptation issue, where cultural differences are still the main
barrier to global branding. In fact, even in the globalization era, cultural differences are
still important today and widely
Yee and Young (2001), aimed to create awareness of high fat content of pies,
studied consumer and producer awareness about nutrition labelling on packaging.
Chen (2001) expressed a different thought on brand awareness that it was a
necessary asset but not sufficient for building strong brand equity.
Beverland (2001) analyzed the level of brand awareness within the New Zealand
market for zespri kiwi fruit.
Velayudhan, (2002) In some studies, brand preference has been equated with
brand. In other studies, it has been evaluated as a precursor to brand loyalty (e.g., Odin et
al. 2001).
Dr.N. Rajendhiran (2003), Rural Marketing - a Critical Review; Icfai University
Journal of Rural Management: “The success of a brand in the Indian rural market is as
unpredictable as rain. It has always been difficult to gauge the rural market. Many brands,
which should have been successful, have failed miserably. More often than not, people
attribute rural market success to luck".
Steenkamp, Batra and Alden (2003) found that brand globalization positively
impacts perceived quality and brand prestige. Due to gap, the above review motivated to
choose and analysis the influence of international branding on rural consumer.
Johansson and Ronkainen (2005) found that global brands are associated with
greater esteem.
Kumar, (2006) conducted a study on Rural Marketing for FMCGs. The most
preferred brands of toothpaste, shampoo and toilet soap in rural areas were identified on
the basis of gender interpretation. The study revealed that quality is the first factor that
influences rural customers followed by price, colour and taste.
21. 11
Sakkthivel, (2006) An attempt to design an appropriate promotion mechanism to
woo the rural consumer‟s and influence their buying behaviour was made by). He
concluded that the strategies ought to be designed according to the factors influencing the
rural consumer behaviour such as price, opinion leaders, easy 120 Int. Jour. of Business

Madhavi (2007) Among brand preference Colgate plays a vital role among
female respondents whereas male respondents mostly use Pepsodent. Almost half of the
respondents do not use shampoo because they are using conservative products only and
among the users 60 percent of them use Clinic Plus. No significant relationship between
gender and the use of shampoo was found. Majority of the respondents using soaps
preferred Hamam as their brand of toilet soap.
Kamalesyathav, (2008) Brand awareness includes both brand recognition as well
as brand recall. Brand recognition is the ability of consumer to recognize prior knowledge
of brand when they are asked question about that brand or when they are shown that
specific brand, while brand recall is the potential.
David bough, (2008) consumer to recover a brand from his memory when the
product class/category, needs satisfied by that category or buying scenario as a signal. In
other words, it refers that consumer should correctly recover brand from the memory
when given a clue or he can recall the specific brand when the product category is
mentioned. It is generally easier to recognize a brand rather than recall it from the
memory.
Batra, (2009) Brand awareness is related to the functions of brand identities in
consumers’ memory and can be reflected by how well the consumers can identify the
brand under various conditions. Brand awareness includes brand recognition and brand
recall performance. Brand recognition refers to the ability of the consumers to correctly
differentiate the brand they previously have been exposed to.
Micheal Hussey, (2010) Brand awareness plays a major role in a consumer’s
buying decision-making process. During this process, the category need is stimulated
first. For example, you need to do food shopping. You will only write down the food
categories, like chocolate, instead of brand names on your list. You will scan the
packages of chocolate on the shelf and recognize different brands.

Visvanath magath, (2012) Customer preference is mainly based on the following
attributes the product or service, price, place, promotion In this new era of business
world, Customers are the real owners. So, each and every expectation of consumer has to
be studied. Consumer preferences are defined as the subjective (individual) tastes, as
measured by utility, of various bundles of goods. They permit the consumer to rank these
bundles of goods according to the level they give the consumer. Note that preferences are
independent of income and prices. Ability to purchase goods does not determine a
consumer’s likes or dislikes. This is used primarily to mean an option that has the greatest
anticipated value among a number of options.
Hasmanoyi, (2013) Consumer behaviour can be defined as the decision-making
process and physical activity involved in acquiring, evaluating, using and disposing of
goods and services. This definition clearly brings out that it is not just the buying of
goods/services that receives acquired or bought.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the applied to a field of
study or the theoretical analysis of the body of methods.
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in
a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy
procedure.
Descriptive Design
Descriptive research design is a type of research method that is used when one
wants to get information on the current status of a person or an object. It is used to
describe what is in existence.
3.2 SAMPLING DESIGN
A sampling design specifies for every possible its probability of being drawn
mathematically a sampling design is denoted by function. P(s) which gives the
probability of drawing a sample S.
Simple Random Sampling
In statistical a simple random sampling is a subject of individual chosen from a
larger set. Each individual entirely by chance, such that each individual has the same
probability.
Sample size
A sample is part of the target population, carefully selected from the universe to
constitute sample.

Z = Z value (e.g. (1.96) for 95% confidence level.
P = Percentage q= not picking a choice expressed as decimal (0.5) used for
sample size needed.
C = Confidence interval, expressed as decimal (e.g.) 0.4 = ± 4).
3.3 METHOUDS OF DATA COLLECTION
There are two types of data collections:
Primary Data
Primary data collections are those which are collected in questionnaire method a
fresh collection.
Secondary Data
Secondary data collections are those which have already been collected by someone
else.

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
Percentage analysis is the method to represent raw streams of data as a percentage
( a part in 100-percent) for better understanding of correct data.
Percentage analysis = (No .of. Respondents/Total No. of .Samples)/100
FACTOR ANALYSIS
Factor analysis can be used to explore the data for patterns, confirm our
hypothesis, or reduce the many variables to a more manageable number.
ANOVA TEST
The test of significance based on t-distribution is an adequate procedure for
testing the significance of the difference between two sample means. In a situation when
we have three or more samples to consider at a time, an alternative procedure is needed
for testing the hypothesis that all the samples were drawn from the population with the
same mean. The basic purpose of the analysis of variance is to test the homogeneity.
CHI SQUARE TEST
The chi-square test is one of the simplest and most widely used non parametric
tests in statistical work. This test is used to find whether the two attributes are associated
are not. The quantity x2
describes the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory and
observation.
