Purpose Of A Brand? To make you the natural choice of your customers.
Shop Until You Drop? Customers need help in making their choices; otherwise the weekly shop would take a week!
Purpose Of A Brand? (2) To help customers choose what’s just right for them.
Purpose Of Promotional Activity It must be the same: to help customers choose what’s just right for them.
How Does A Brand Work? “A brand influences choice by standing for the relationship between the buyer and the seller.” Islandbridge, 2004

Brand Occasions (1) Brand Occasions are a series of key events in the developing relationship between buyer & seller, which help to determine the match between what the buyer wants and what the seller has to offer & which lead to a clear decision to buy or not to buy.
