REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Aaker D (1996) research work portrays the importance of brand awareness& what
means to the market customers. Also, the brand awareness builds the image in the
mind of the customers, which help the customers to evaluate at various phases
As Per researcher Macdonald, E. K., & Sharp, B. M. (2000) study predicts that the
product knowledge is also very noteworthy for the customers because until they don’t
have proper information or awareness of products usefulness till than they will not
demand for the product in the market. Hence the facts about the product will always
create a positive or negative image of the product in the mind of customer.
As per Macdonald and Sharp (2000) study shows that the consumers must be
familiar & aware about the product and also they should have willing to buy the
product, which will influences on the purchase decision. Hence the firm must try to
create brand image & brand awareness by proper strategies and various promotional
tools to influence the buying behaviour of the consumers.
Gustafson &Chabot, (2007) study concluded that brand awareness of the product has
a major part while buying a product or service and also it may have control on
evaluation of perceived risk by consumers and their level of assurance about the
buying decision due uniqueness & brand awareness level is compare to other
company’s brandsin the market
Aaker, D (1990) study we can depict that brand awareness will increase the brand
loyalty with consumers and build the consumers’ confidence while consumer buying
process.
Percy et al., (2006) through his research work we can find out that the valuable brand
awareness will be created through the appearance of brands to the customers which
helps to mature a spur like reply from the consumers through which they are
capable to relate, identify, remembrance and be on the whole aware of brands.
Hence the Accessible brand tends to employ brand strengthening techniques to put up
on their brand awareness programs.
