image by buying products & brands or patronising services which they believe are congruent with their self-images and avoiding which are not then this phenomenon is known as consumer imagery. 1.

Eg:-Fast Track and Sonata brands are both from Titan but have a clear image with regard to their target segment associations. 2. Service Image - where the consumer compares his self-image with his perception of the service or its provider.
