Why is this important?
As consumers do more research before their purchase, it is increasingly important to be one of the brands under consideration. Brands must therefore be well known and appeal to distinct consumer groups. A strong brand drives profitable growth as shortlisted brands sell more products at higher prices. Sales of strong brands grow at a rate 1.3 times higher than the average brand1), and 75% of market share variance within the appliance industry can be explained by Top 3 Consideration & Spontaneous Awareness2). Cooperation with preferred partners enables efficient marketing, delivery and sales.
