A strong brand makes choosing easier for a target group. The brand promise is clear and the target group knows what to expect. Building and managing strong brands requires a consistent branding strategy. The goals? Greater customer loyalty, less vulnerability to actions of your competitors and marketing crises, a less elastic customer response to increased prices, a more elastic customer response to reduced prices, a more attractive cooperation partner for the trade and more effective marketing communication.
Brand pyramid CBBE
The brand pyramid from Keller's Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) model provides insight into which aspects play a role in determining customer attachment to a brand.
