3 Introduction Building brands is an important aspect of marketing for the long-term sustenance of a firm. A brand name not only imparts recognition to a product but gives it an identity. In the same product class, products of different firms can have different meanings for consumers. The question is how do consumers associate these different meanings to different brands? This is because a brand name adds value to a product beyond the brand elements and the value added depends on customer perception

5 Brand Equity defined ‘Brand equity is a set of brand assets and liabilities linked to a brand, its name, and symbol, that adds value to or subtracts from the value provided by a product or service to a firm and/or to that firm’s customers’ (Aaker 1991).

6 Brand Equity defined ‘The differential effect the brand knowledge has on consumer response to marketing of that brand’ Keller, 2004 Keller (2004) defines brand equity from the customer’s perspective
