CHAPTER - I
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
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 percent of the
target market, brand awareness is the primary goal of advertising in the early months or years
of a product’s introduction.
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.
A brand name that is well known to the great majority of households is also called a
household name.
Importance
"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.
Although the hierarchy of effects is considered as a one-way linear relationship, these
three stages are not “clear-cut”. The causal link might be reversed. The usage could cause the
awareness while the attitudes can also influence the awareness. For example, one owned a
Dell wireless mouse and had excellent using experience. Such experience might determine
the one’s favourite brand attitude toward Dell.
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. For instance, you are in a hurry and want to grab a bite at a fast-food restaurant.
It is not possible for you to drive around and make a decision. You need to retrieve
different fast-food brands in your memory, choose one and go there directly. In this situation,
constant advertisement is important in consumers’ memory retrieval because the consumers
are willing to go to the first brand that can be recalled.
The eventual goal of most businesses is to make profits and increase sales. Businesses
intend to increase their consumer pool and encourage repeat purchases. Apple is a brilliant
example of how there is a very high recognition of the brand logo and high anticipation of a
new product being released by the company. An iPod is the first thing that pops into our
minds when we think of purchasing an mp3 player. IPod is used as a replaceable noun to
describe an mp3 player.
Finally, high brand awareness about a product suggests that the brand is easily
recognizable and accepted by the market in a way that the brand is differentiated from similar
products and other competitors. Brand building also helps in improving brand loyalty.
Measures of Brand Awareness
Aided Awareness - This type of awareness is generated in a consumer. When asked about a
product category, if the consumer is aided with a list of company names and he recognizes
the company from the given set it is categorized as aided awareness.
Spontaneous awareness - When asked about a product category, the consumers are asked to
list brands they know without any cues.
Top of the mind awareness - When the name of the company is automatically recollected
because the consumer very promptly associates the brand with the product category, it is
called a top of the mind awareness of the product. It’s the first brand name listed by the
consumers when asked to name brands they know without any cues.
Methodologies
Mokhira discussion in industry and practice about the meaning and value of various
brand awareness metrics.
Recently, an empirical study appeared to put this debate to rest by suggesting that all
awareness metrics were systematically related, simply reflecting their difficulty, in the same
way that certain questions are more difficult in academic exams.
Channels of Brand Awareness
There are many ways to generate brand awareness in the consumers. Listed below are four
such channels
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 allow 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
(1) Extreme specialization,
(2) Aiming every effort at favourably impressing the customers,
(3) Providing service that goes beyond the customers' expectations,
(4) Fast response time,
(5) Quick turnaround of jobs, and
(6) 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. It is an out of the ordinary way of
marketing a product. Low-cost channels can be utilised to generate a high level of interest in
the product and create brand awareness. Utilisation of personal contacts is the most popular
way of guerrilla marketing.
Product Placement is an advertising technique used by companies to subtly promote their
products through a non-traditional advertising technique, usually through appearances in film,
television, or other media.
A formal agreement between the product manufacturer and a media company can be
generated through which the media company also receives an economic benefit, usually in
the form of a fee. The media company in return will showcase the product through any of the
various means they have available to make the brand stand out. Some people, however,
consider product placement to be deceptive and unethical.
For example, Coca-Cola could pay a given fee to have the title character drinking a
Coke, instead of a Pepsi beverage, or Toyota might pay to have one of the characters drive
their newest automobile. Through product placement, companies hope that moviegoers will
take note of the products used by the characters, and therefore think more strongly about
using the products themselves. Social Media is the most contemporary and cost-effective way
of creating a brand awareness with an online audience. Many companies use social media
like Facebook, YouTube, blogs etc.
Challenges
Maintaining Brand Awareness is a very important aspect in marketing a company. It
is imperative and very helpful to analyze the response your audience has towards the change
in packaging, advertising, products and messages sent across through various means.
Working towards creating an image in the minds of the consumers is not the last thing a
company should aim to do. Inviting consumer feedback and maintaining a constant presence
in the market is equally essential.
Availability of the product to the consumer is one such way of doing this. The
consumer should not have to come looking for you when he is in need of making a second
purchase of the product, dealerships and outlets at convenient places should make the
consumer think of the brand as the most convenient and best solution to their needs of
fulfilments.
While brand awareness scores tend to be quite stable at aggregate level, individual
consumers show considerable propensity to change their responses to aided recall based
brand awareness measures. For unaided recall based brand awareness measures, consumers’
brand awareness remains relatively stable. For top of mind recall measures, consumers give
the same answer in two interviews typically only 50% the time. Similar low levels of
consistency in response have been recorded for other cues to elicit brand name responses.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCHMETHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a systematic and scientific way to solve research problems.
So it is a systematic plan for conducting research starting form problem to final report.
Researcher has to design his research methodology. The dictionary meaning of research is the
careful investigation of inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of
knowledge.
Meaning of research
According to Clifford woody research comprise defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collections, organizing and evaluating data;
making deductions and reaching conclusions to determine whether they fit formulating
hypothesis.
Types of research:
The basic types of research are as follows
 Descriptive Vs. Analytical
 Applied Vs. Fundamental
 Quantitative Vs. Qualitative
 Conceptual Vs. Empirical
 Descriptive vs. Analytical:
Descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different
kinds. The research has to use facts or information already available, and analyse
these to make a critical of the material
 Applied vs. Fundamental:
Applied research aims at findings a solution for an immediate problem facing
a society or an industry/business organizations whereas fundamental and with the
formulation of fundamental research
 Quantitative vs. Qualitative:
Qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomenon involving
quality of kind. Quantitative research is based on the measurement of quantity
 Conceptual vs. Empirical:
Conceptual research is that related to some abstract idea or theory. It is
generally used by philosophers and thickness to develop new concepts or to
reinterpret existing ones. On the other hand, without due regard for system and theory,
it is data based research, coming up with conclusions which are capable of being by
observation or experiment.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Researchtype:
The type of research used is descriptive research.
Area of study:
The study is conducted at “UNI BAGS PVT.LTD” in Chennai.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The method of collecting data by questionnaires from respondents is called data
collection method. Source of data include both primary and secondary data. They are given
below
 Primary data
 Secondary data
Primary data
In this research primary data was collected by the method of survey by using a well-
defined structured questionnaire.
Secondary data:
Secondary data were obtained from the company’s manuals reference books,
magazines and websites.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS:
Structured Questionnaire
SAMPLING DESIGN:
The sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It
refers to the procedure adopted by a researcher for selecting items for a sample. The selected
respondents constitute what is technically called a “sample” and the selection process is
called “sampling technique”.
The size of sample should neither be excessively large, nor too small. It should be
optimum and so the study has been undergone within the sample size of 50 respondents.
Sampling types:
The sample may be probability or non-probability sampling. Probability sampling is
based on the concept of random selection, whereas non-probability sampling is non-random
sampling.
Sample designs are basically two types
o Probability sampling
o Non-probability sampling
Probability sampling:
Under this sampling design every item of the universe has an equal chance of
inclusion in the sampling.
Non-probability sampling:
Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis
for estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the
sample.
Sampling method:
For this study researcher used convenience sampling method.

REVIEW OF
LITERATURE
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Hanna Bornmark, Kristianstad University
According to theory, consumer chooses a brand they recognize, before an unfamiliar
brand. If the consumer does not choose according to theories, what are the factors that have a
greater effect on the buying behaviour?
There is not much research about the effect of brand awareness on brand choice, which is
why this subject was investigated. One of the purpose of this dissertation was to do a research
about brand awareness, to see to what extent it matters when purchasing the first time in an
unfamiliar environment. One of the objectives was to determine if there were any differences
in buying behaviour between the chosen cultures. The research group was limited to the
students from China, India and Iran at Kristianad University. Due to the low number of
participants from India, we had to exclude them from our analysis.
The research questions were important since they structured the problem that was to be
answered and made it easier to limit the scope of the dissertation. The questionnaire that was
handed out reflected our research questions. This made it possible to observe which product
the students recognized most and which product recognized the least.
The conclusion of the dissertation was that all investigated factors had some importance
for choice of brand, while quality had a greater effect on brand choice than brand awareness.
Further, there was no difference in buying behaviour between the cultures. Finally, it was not
possible to state any difference in buying behaviour the first time compared to today.
Ingrid Staisch, University of Stellenbosch
The purpose of this introductory chapter is to introduce the reader to brands, as well as
the widely researched field of consumer behaviour. The primary field of research with which
this study is concerned is ‘Branding’. However, the author felt it also necessary to introduce
the reader to some of the theories on consumer behaviour due to the fact that there are many
similarities between these closely related fields of research and that many concepts and
theories in consumer behaviour are used throughout this research report.
Stephenn Webb
Brand awareness and perception is important when trying to market a product or service
into a new or already established market. This study’s focal point rests on the ultimate
questions:”How does brand awareness and perception affects consumer purchasing?”. The
process involves a comprehensive understanding of the most current literature on marketing
and marketing theories, as well as a thorough review of three company rebranding case
studies and a comparison between them all, and an in-depth look at the design elements and
features of branding and the branding process. Additionally, interviews were undertaken, as
well as compiling survey data pertaining to each of four predetermined objective to back up
the researched literature. This research determines that brand design as a significant impact
on consumer purchasing.
Marton and Booth, 1997
People have earlier experience of a certain situation and are aware of that. They are
also aware of who they are, the background to the circumstances, where being located as well
as the emotions to the place, what time of year it is and what day it is, and also what to do the
rest of the day. Even though, there is awareness is reshaping its structure constantly, and what
we call awareness ence. So it is possible to do one thing while still be aware of many other
things.
Brand awareness is the capacity of consumers to recognise or remember a brand, and
there is a linkage between the brand and the product class, but the link does not have to be
strong. Brand awareness is a process from where the brand is just known to a level when the
consumers have put the brand on a higher rank, brand become ‘top of mind’
Anchor to which other associations can be attached is when a new product has to
work to win recognition, because there are few purchase decisions that can be done without
knowledge about the product. Moreover, without attained recognition it is difficult to learn
about the character and advantages of the new merchandise.
With product identification it is easy to create a new relationship to the item. The
explanation of familiarity/linking is that people like familiarity, and knowledge make the
product and brand more well-known and familiar. This contains most of all low-involvement
products like sugar, salt, paper towels, when the knowledge about the brand often makes the
buying decision. The positive association between the number of experience and linking has
been shown in studies.
The incentives to this relationship are for example non-figurative pictures, names and
jingles. Substance/commitment can be seen in name awareness which means existence,
promise and matter; things that are important for the buyer. The consumers do not have to
know a lot about the company, but as long as the buyers have positive brand awareness they
will buy the product. In some cases, the brand awareness and understanding can depend on a
buying situation and do all the effort for consumers in a buying process. The level of brands
to consider is the first level to reach. When buying merchandise is to choose a collection of
trade names
Aaker, 1991
Brand awareness is much about communication. This is how Aaker explains the
awareness and recall of a name: file folder in the mind which can be filled with name-related
facts and feelings. Without such a file readily accessible in memory, the facts and Brand
awareness is dependent upon both the situation and the level of achieved awareness.
1. Brand recognition: This level is the first stage of brand awareness. It is when the
consumers can recognise a specific brand among others; explained as a situation where a set
of given brand names from a given product class is shown. The task is then to identify the
recognised names. Brand recognition is major when consumers face the buying procedure.
2. Brand recall: This is upon the consumers to name the trademark in a there are not
given any examples of specific brands. The role of brand recall can also be vital for regularly
purchased products like coffee, detergent, and headache remedies, for which brand decisions
usually are made prior going to the store. Further on, in some categories (such as cereal) there
are so many recognised alternatives that the shopper is overwhelmed.
3. Top of mind: consumers think of within a given product class .Brand awareness is
important since a lot of the consumers feel that if the brand is well known it has good quality.
Most important is not that the brand is well known, it is what it is known for (Melin, 1999).
Further, awareness is a very important brand advantage, but it cannot sell the product,
especially not if the product is new.
In the literature there are many facts that show that brand awareness affects consumer
choice and thereby their choice of brand. Lin and Chang (2003) found by their research that
brand awareness had the strongest effect on purchase decision on habitual behaviour of low
involvement products. They also wrote that Hoyer and Brown (1990) examined the role
played by brand awareness in consumer decision making process and found that it was a
dominant factor. Likewise shows that brand name, in other words recognition of a brand, has
an impact on consumer’s choice
Achieving Brand Awareness
Recognition and recall in attaining awareness, engage two responsibilities: to increase
the brand name identity as well as linking the characteristics to the item. This is in particular
vital when the product is new (Aaker, 1991). Aaker (1991) has set up the following factors
concerning how to achieve brand awareness:
Be different, memorable: Today, many products seem alike and the communication in the
product clusters is related. Therefore, it is important to differentiate the product, although, the
bond between the product class and the brand has to exist for easier recognition.
Involve a slogan or jingle: There can be a stronger linkage between a slogan and a brand
because it involves a visual feature of the brand. By this, the jingle or slogan is powerful and
can make a big change.
Symbol exposure: It is important to have a known symbol, because it is easy to memorize and
recall a visual illustration. A logo, either an already existing one or a developed one, which is
connected to the brand, can take a huge part in forming and keeping awareness.
Publicity: Advertising is a proficient way to get publicity and make awareness, since it can be
customized to the communication and the addressees.
Event sponsorship: The primary role of most event sponsorship is to create or maintain
awareness.
Consider brand extensions: To show the name or the logo on the products, and make the
name more prominent, is one way to increase brand recall.
Examples of names that can be found, promoted, shown and publicized on other products,
than the key product, are Coca-Cola, Heinz and Sunkist.
Using cues: The package is one of the most important cues to a brand, since that is what the
purchaser sees when buying the product. If not knowing the brand or the product, the only
contact to the brand is the package.
Recall requires repetition: It is easier to build up recognition than to build up recall of a
brand. It can be compared to the fact that one can recognise a face of a person but do not
recall the name. Therefore the link between the brand and the product class needs to be
stronger and the brand needs to be more prominent than in the recognition of the brand. To
receive a top of mind recall is even harder.
The recall bonus: To keep a top position through regular publicity creates brand awareness as
well as a strong brand which in turn leads to decreasing recall of competitive brands.
To achieve brand awareness, it is important to have a special hallmark because it is
the hallmark that consumers recognise. It is easy to mix up consumer brand and corporate
brand with hallmarks. A hallmark makes it possible to identify a brand. A hallmark is not the
same as a symbol because it is much wider. A brand can have several hallmarks. They are
usually divided into six groups:
1. Word brand
2. Design
3. Sound
4. Scent
5. Pattern
6. Colour
Keller (2003)
Measuring Brand Awareness as mentioned above, Keller (2003) claims that brand
awareness consists of recognition and recall and that brand awareness in its turn is a part of
brand knowledge. To measure brand awareness effectively it is important to know where
most of the consumer decisions are made.
If many decisions are made at the point of the purchase, where the brand, logo,
packaging etc. are visible, brand recognition measures will be important. If consumer
decisions mostly are made away from the point of purchase the brand recall measures become
more important. The most basic procedure of recognition is to ask the consumer which one of
several listed items they have previously seen or heard of. There are different measures of
brand recall depending on the types of signals given to the consumers: unaided recall and
aided recall, which are described above. It is very important to be aware of spurious
awareness in measuring brand awareness. It means that consumers may erroneously claim
that they recall something that they really do not and even claim that they recall something
that do not exist (Keller, 2003).

  • 10. INTRODUCTION 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 percent of the target market, brand awareness is the primary goal of advertising in the early months or years of a product’s introduction. 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. A brand name that is well known to the great majority of households is also called a household name. Importance "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. Although the hierarchy of effects is considered as a one-way linear relationship, these three stages are not “clear-cut”. The causal link might be reversed. The usage could cause the awareness while the attitudes can also influence the awareness. For example, one owned a Dell wireless mouse and had excellent using experience. Such experience might determine the one’s favourite brand attitude toward Dell. 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

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. For instance, you are in a hurry and want to grab a bite at a fast-food restaurant. It is not possible for you to drive around and make a decision. You need to retrieve different fast-food brands in your memory, choose one and go there directly. In this situation, constant advertisement is important in consumers’ memory retrieval because the consumers are willing to go to the first brand that can be recalled. The eventual goal of most businesses is to make profits and increase sales. Businesses intend to increase their consumer pool and encourage repeat purchases. Apple is a brilliant example of how there is a very high recognition of the brand logo and high anticipation of a new product being released by the company. An iPod is the first thing that pops into our minds when we think of purchasing an mp3 player. IPod is used as a replaceable noun to describe an mp3 player. Finally, high brand awareness about a product suggests that the brand is easily recognizable and accepted by the market in a way that the brand is differentiated from similar products and other competitors. Brand building also helps in improving brand loyalty. Measures of Brand Awareness Aided Awareness - This type of awareness is generated in a consumer. When asked about a product category, if the consumer is aided with a list of company names and he recognizes the company from the given set it is categorized as aided awareness. Spontaneous awareness - When asked about a product category, the consumers are asked to list brands they know without any cues. Top of the mind awareness - When the name of the company is automatically recollected because the consumer very promptly associates the brand with the product category, it is called a top of the mind awareness of the product. It’s the first brand name listed by the consumers when asked to name brands they know without any cues.
  • 12. Methodologies Mokhira discussion in industry and practice about the meaning and value of various brand awareness metrics. Recently, an empirical study appeared to put this debate to rest by suggesting that all awareness metrics were systematically related, simply reflecting their difficulty, in the same way that certain questions are more difficult in academic exams. Channels of Brand Awareness There are many ways to generate brand awareness in the consumers. Listed below are four such channels 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 allow 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 (1) Extreme specialization, (2) Aiming every effort at favourably impressing the customers, (3) Providing service that goes beyond the customers' expectations, (4) Fast response time, (5) Quick turnaround of jobs, and (6) 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. It is an out of the ordinary way of marketing a product. Low-cost channels can be utilised to generate a high level of interest in the product and create brand awareness. Utilisation of personal contacts is the most popular way of guerrilla marketing.
  • 13. Product Placement is an advertising technique used by companies to subtly promote their products through a non-traditional advertising technique, usually through appearances in film, television, or other media. A formal agreement between the product manufacturer and a media company can be generated through which the media company also receives an economic benefit, usually in the form of a fee. The media company in return will showcase the product through any of the various means they have available to make the brand stand out. Some people, however, consider product placement to be deceptive and unethical. For example, Coca-Cola could pay a given fee to have the title character drinking a Coke, instead of a Pepsi beverage, or Toyota might pay to have one of the characters drive their newest automobile. Through product placement, companies hope that moviegoers will take note of the products used by the characters, and therefore think more strongly about using the products themselves. Social Media is the most contemporary and cost-effective way of creating a brand awareness with an online audience. Many companies use social media like Facebook, YouTube, blogs etc. Challenges Maintaining Brand Awareness is a very important aspect in marketing a company. It is imperative and very helpful to analyze the response your audience has towards the change in packaging, advertising, products and messages sent across through various means. Working towards creating an image in the minds of the consumers is not the last thing a company should aim to do. Inviting consumer feedback and maintaining a constant presence in the market is equally essential. Availability of the product to the consumer is one such way of doing this. The consumer should not have to come looking for you when he is in need of making a second purchase of the product, dealerships and outlets at convenient places should make the consumer think of the brand as the most convenient and best solution to their needs of fulfilments. While brand awareness scores tend to be quite stable at aggregate level, individual consumers show considerable propensity to change their responses to aided recall based
  • 14. brand awareness measures. For unaided recall based brand awareness measures, consumers’ brand awareness remains relatively stable. For top of mind recall measures, consumers give the same answer in two interviews typically only 50% the time. Similar low levels of consistency in response have been recorded for other cues to elicit brand name responses.

  • 26. The sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to the procedure adopted by a researcher for selecting items for a sample. The selected respondents constitute what is technically called a “sample” and the selection process is called “sampling technique”. The size of sample should neither be excessively large, nor too small. It should be optimum and so the study has been undergone within the sample size of 50 respondents. Sampling types: The sample may be probability or non-probability sampling. Probability sampling is based on the concept of random selection, whereas non-probability sampling is non-random sampling. Sample designs are basically two types o Probability sampling o Non-probability sampling Probability sampling: Under this sampling design every item of the universe has an equal chance of inclusion in the sampling. Non-probability sampling: Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis for estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the sample. Sampling method: For this study researcher used convenience sampling method. Sample size 50 respondents
  • 29. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Hanna Bornmark, Kristianstad University According to theory, consumer chooses a brand they recognize, before an unfamiliar brand. If the consumer does not choose according to theories, what are the factors that have a greater effect on the buying behaviour? There is not much research about the effect of brand awareness on brand choice, which is why this subject was investigated. One of the purpose of this dissertation was to do a research about brand awareness, to see to what extent it matters when purchasing the first time in an unfamiliar environment. One of the objectives was to determine if there were any differences in buying behaviour between the chosen cultures. The research group was limited to the students from China, India and Iran at Kristianad University. Due to the low number of participants from India, we had to exclude them from our analysis. The research questions were important since they structured the problem that was to be answered and made it easier to limit the scope of the dissertation. The questionnaire that was handed out reflected our research questions. This made it possible to observe which product the students recognized most and which product recognized the least. The conclusion of the dissertation was that all investigated factors had some importance for choice of brand, while quality had a greater effect on brand choice than brand awareness. Further, there was no difference in buying behaviour between the cultures. Finally, it was not possible to state any difference in buying behaviour the first time compared to today. Ingrid Staisch, University of Stellenbosch The purpose of this introductory chapter is to introduce the reader to brands, as well as the widely researched field of consumer behaviour. The primary field of research with which this study is concerned is ‘Branding’. However, the author felt it also necessary to introduce the reader to some of the theories on consumer behaviour due to the fact that there are many similarities between these closely related fields of research and that many concepts and theories in consumer behaviour are used throughout this research report.

  • 30. Brand awareness and perception is important when trying to market a product or service into a new or already established market. This study’s focal point rests on the ultimate questions:”How does brand awareness and perception affects consumer purchasing?”. The process involves a comprehensive understanding of the most current literature on marketing and marketing theories, as well as a thorough review of three company rebranding case studies and a comparison between them all, and an in-depth look at the design elements and features of branding and the branding process. Additionally, interviews were undertaken, as well as compiling survey data pertaining to each of four predetermined objective to back up the researched literature. This research determines that brand design as a significant impact on consumer purchasing. Marton and Booth, 1997 People have earlier experience of a certain situation and are aware of that. They are also aware of who they are, the background to the circumstances, where being located as well as the emotions to the place, what time of year it is and what day it is, and also what to do the rest of the day. Even though, there is awareness is reshaping its structure constantly, and what we call awareness ence. So it is possible to do one thing while still be aware of many other things. Brand awareness is the capacity of consumers to recognise or remember a brand, and there is a linkage between the brand and the product class, but the link does not have to be strong. Brand awareness is a process from where the brand is just known to a level when the consumers have put the brand on a higher rank, brand become ‘top of mind’ Anchor to which other associations can be attached is when a new product has to work to win recognition, because there are few purchase decisions that can be done without
  • 31. knowledge about the product. Moreover, without attained recognition it is difficult to learn about the character and advantages of the new merchandise. With product identification it is easy to create a new relationship to the item. The explanation of familiarity/linking is that people like familiarity, and knowledge make the product and brand more well-known and familiar. This contains most of all low-involvement products like sugar, salt, paper towels, when the knowledge about the brand often makes the buying decision. The positive association between the number of experience and linking has been shown in studies. The incentives to this relationship are for example non-figurative pictures, names and jingles. Substance/commitment can be seen in name awareness which means existence, promise and matter; things that are important for the buyer. The consumers do not have to know a lot about the company, but as long as the buyers have positive brand awareness they will buy the product. In some cases, the brand awareness and understanding can depend on a buying situation and do all the effort for consumers in a buying process. The level of brands to consider is the first level to reach. When buying merchandise is to choose a collection of trade names Aaker, 1991 Brand awareness is much about communication. This is how Aaker explains the awareness and recall of a name: file folder in the mind which can be filled with name-related facts and feelings. Without such a file readily accessible in memory, the facts and Brand awareness is dependent upon both the situation and the level of achieved awareness. 1. Brand recognition: This level is the first stage of brand awareness. It is when the consumers can recognise a specific brand among others; explained as a situation where a set of given brand names from a given product class is shown. The task is then to identify the recognised names. Brand recognition is major when consumers face the buying procedure. 2. Brand recall: This is upon the consumers to name the trademark in a there are not given any examples of specific brands. The role of brand recall can also be vital for regularly purchased products like coffee, detergent, and headache remedies, for which brand decisions usually are made prior going to the store. Further on, in some categories (such as cereal) there are so many recognised alternatives that the shopper is overwhelmed.
  • 32. 3. Top of mind: consumers think of within a given product class .Brand awareness is important since a lot of the consumers feel that if the brand is well known it has good quality. Most important is not that the brand is well known, it is what it is known for (Melin, 1999). Further, awareness is a very important brand advantage, but it cannot sell the product, especially not if the product is new. In the literature there are many facts that show that brand awareness affects consumer choice and thereby their choice of brand. Lin and Chang (2003) found by their research that brand awareness had the strongest effect on purchase decision on habitual behaviour of low involvement products. They also wrote that Hoyer and Brown (1990) examined the role played by brand awareness in consumer decision making process and found that it was a dominant factor. Likewise shows that brand name, in other words recognition of a brand, has an impact on consumer’s choice Achieving Brand Awareness Recognition and recall in attaining awareness, engage two responsibilities: to increase the brand name identity as well as linking the characteristics to the item. This is in particular vital when the product is new (Aaker, 1991). Aaker (1991) has set up the following factors concerning how to achieve brand awareness: Be different, memorable: Today, many products seem alike and the communication in the product clusters is related. Therefore, it is important to differentiate the product, although, the bond between the product class and the brand has to exist for easier recognition. Involve a slogan or jingle: There can be a stronger linkage between a slogan and a brand because it involves a visual feature of the brand. By this, the jingle or slogan is powerful and can make a big change. Symbol exposure: It is important to have a known symbol, because it is easy to memorize and recall a visual illustration. A logo, either an already existing one or a developed one, which is connected to the brand, can take a huge part in forming and keeping awareness. Publicity: Advertising is a proficient way to get publicity and make awareness, since it can be customized to the communication and the addressees.
  • 33. Event sponsorship: The primary role of most event sponsorship is to create or maintain awareness. Consider brand extensions: To show the name or the logo on the products, and make the name more prominent, is one way to increase brand recall. Examples of names that can be found, promoted, shown and publicized on other products, than the key product, are Coca-Cola, Heinz and Sunkist. Using cues: The package is one of the most important cues to a brand, since that is what the purchaser sees when buying the product. If not knowing the brand or the product, the only contact to the brand is the package. Recall requires repetition: It is easier to build up recognition than to build up recall of a brand. It can be compared to the fact that one can recognise a face of a person but do not recall the name. Therefore the link between the brand and the product class needs to be stronger and the brand needs to be more prominent than in the recognition of the brand. To receive a top of mind recall is even harder. The recall bonus: To keep a top position through regular publicity creates brand awareness as well as a strong brand which in turn leads to decreasing recall of competitive brands. To achieve brand awareness, it is important to have a special hallmark because it is the hallmark that consumers recognise. It is easy to mix up consumer brand and corporate brand with hallmarks. A hallmark makes it possible to identify a brand. A hallmark is not the same as a symbol because it is much wider. A brand can have several hallmarks. They are usually divided into six groups: 1. Word brand 2. Design 3. Sound 4. Scent 5. Pattern 6. Colour
  • 34. Keller (2003) Measuring Brand Awareness as mentioned above, Keller (2003) claims that brand awareness consists of recognition and recall and that brand awareness in its turn is a part of brand knowledge. To measure brand awareness effectively it is important to know where most of the consumer decisions are made. If many decisions are made at the point of the purchase, where the brand, logo, packaging etc. are visible, brand recognition measures will be important. If consumer decisions mostly are made away from the point of purchase the brand recall measures become more important. The most basic procedure of recognition is to ask the consumer which one of several listed items they have previously seen or heard of. There are different measures of brand recall depending on the types of signals given to the consumers: unaided recall and aided recall, which are described above. It is very important to be aware of spurious awareness in measuring brand awareness. It means that consumers may erroneously claim that they recall something that they really do not and even claim that they recall something that do not exist (Keller, 2003).
