Awareness does not necessarily mean that the consumer must be able to recall a specific brand name, but they must be able to recall enough distinguishing features for a purchase to happen. Creating brand awareness is the main step in advertising a new product or revitalising an old one. Brand awareness consists of two components: brand recall and brand recognition. Several studies have shown that these two components operate i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
