Building brand awareness in competitive markets can play an active role in the modern marketing environment. It is now widely acknowledged by companies that strong brand awareness will create a competitive advantage in the marketplace that will enhance their overall reputation and credibility. Indeed, recent trend in modern marketing has been changed enormously and study of brand awareness is increasingly becoming popular to keep pace with this change. In this conceptual paper, we have summarized the exiting literatures on currently prevailing concepts and approaches on brands, which will allow us to identify the imperative components of brand awareness and therefore will assist companies to enhance their marketing efficiency. Based on earlier works, here we propose a plausible framework for building brand awareness in sequential order namely, positioning the brand, sponsorship, event marketing, sports marketing, advertising of the brand and integrated marketing communications. In this review, we put forward the notion that brand-building attempt need to be associated with organizational processes that will assist in bring the comprehensive knowledge about brands to the consumers through organizational awareness programs. We suggest that these activities could play an essential role in creating awareness about brands among consumers. As a whole, based on existing literatures, we have tried to provide a comprehensive view on the imperative components of brand awareness for building brand awareness in the modern marketing environment.

... Brand awareness is a crucial concept in consumer behaviour as it has a significant influence on consumers' choice of brand (Barreda, Bilgihan, Nusair & Okumus, 2015). Brand awareness refers to consumers' ability to recall and recognise a brand, especially amongst other competitive brands (Latif, Islam & Noor, 2014). As such, brands with high levels of brand awareness have substantially more power to impact a brand's market share, while it creates greater levels of brand image, brand equity and brand loyalty (Barreda et al., 2015). ...
... As such, brands with high levels of brand awareness have substantially more power to impact a brand's market share, while it creates greater levels of brand image, brand equity and brand loyalty (Barreda et al., 2015). Aaker's (1991) brand awareness pyramid suggests a 4-step process that consumers commonly go through: firstly, consumers are unaware of the brand, followed by a recognition of the brand, recalling the brand, and ultimately the brand stays at the top of the consumer's mind (Latif et al., 2014). The first hypothesis therefore proposes a positive relationship between brand awareness and purchase intention. ...

Due to the absence of a sampling frame, convenience sampling, a form of non-probability sampling was utilised a total of 253 responses well collected from Braamfontein, a busy business district in Johannesburg, South Africa. In order to test the proposed hypotheses, a unique conceptual model was developed in which brand awareness, brand loyalty and brand attitude acted as predictors while purchase intention served as the outcome. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS 27 where descriptive statistics were produced as well as regression analysis to test the proposed hypothesis. Findings suggested that customers perceived brand attitude to have the strongest impact on purchase intention while the weakest predictor of purchase intention was brand awareness as far as online purchasing was concerned. Managerial implications emerged from the study and suggestions for further research were proposed.

Preprint
  • Jun 2023
In this study, I conduct a discourse analysis of the official press releases of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India (GoI). I examine the discourse from a marketing lens to understand the dominant marketing strategies of the MoHFW. Based on the findings, I developed a theoretical framework that illustrates the interaction between marketing, the sociology of knowledge and perceived realism. I argue through this framework that the interaction is dynamic and play a major role in determining the accessibility and utilisation of public healthcare in India. Further, in agreement with Foucault, I highlight the centrality of power in the MoHFW discourse. The findings add to the existing scholarship on public branding by providing a theoretical basis that can be used to examine the discourse of public institutions or departments.

The Importance of Limited Self-Determination When M-Channel Migration Strategy Is Implemented
Article
Full-text available
  • Sep 2022
Theoretical background: Multichannel retailers can implement various migration strategies to induce consumers to use particular marketing channel. Some researchers indicated voluntary and forced customer E-channel migration strategies. Due to the negative consequences of a coercive strategy, a voluntary migration strategy is much more popular. Voluntary migration strategy provides multichannel shoppers a total freedom of their choice whereas the incentive-based migration strategy uses some stimulus in order to convince buyers to use specific marketing channel. Encouraging the buyer to behave in a particular way may cause him/her a negative self-determination perception. Limited self-determination means consumer conviction that a certain action was taken as a result of marketing initiatives, prompted by the seller, and is not the result of their free and independent decision. A self-determined customer is convinced of entering into a relationship with the provider on their own initiative. In the context of channel-based price differentiation, it is about the consumer's belief that a specific purchase channel has been selected as a result of a solicitation by the seller. According to researchers, limited self-determination can have potentially negative impact on the intention to buy. Purpose of the article: The presented research model refers to the customer intention to buy online (intention to stay there) in the multichannel context. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to contribute to existing literature on multichannel pricing and advance our understanding of factors influencing the customer intention to make a purchase in offline channel (to stay in a brick-and-mortar store) under the price pressure in mobile app. This study aims to investigate factors affecting the intention to purchase offline when m-channel migration strategy based on price incentives is implemented by the retailer. Special attention is devoted to the issue of limited self-determination in a channel-based price differentiation context. Research methods: The data comes from a questionnaire survey carried out in 2021. This study is a quantitative study employing a scenario-based approach. The total sample size is 500, cosmetics was the product category which the questionnaire was prepared for. For the purpose of the research, a SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) analysis using AMOS 26 was conducted. Main findings: This research extends the understanding of consumer limited self-determination and subjective knowledge and mobile app familiarity and its influence on the intention to buy offline when price incentives are provided in a mobile purchase app. Article adds to the existing literature on customer migration in a multichannel environment.

Relatedness, prominence, and constructive sponsor identification
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 1999
Proper identification of event sponsors is a key concern in sponsorship communication. Although practitioners have assumed that event sponsors are identified primarily through pure recollection, the authors show that sponsor identification involves a substantial degree of construction. Results from three experiments indicate that sponsor identification is biased toward brands that are prominent in the marketplace and semantically related to the event. These biases appear to emanate from constructive processes whereby during identification, respondents use the prominence and relatedness of available brands as heuristics to verify their recollection of event-sponsor associations. The effects of relatedness on sponsor identification seem stronger and more robust than those of prominence, which appears to be invoked only for large events. Both effects are robust across methods of identification assessment though less pronounced when the accuracy threshold is high.

A Communication-Based Marketing Model for Managing Relationships
Article
The authors propose a communication-based model of relationship marketing and discuss how communication (rather than persuasion) is the foundation of the “new” customer-focused marketing efforts. The authors trace recent parallel shifts in communication and marketing theory and show the intersections between communication and marketing. Although communication always has been a critical element in marketing, the authors show how the increase in interactivity makes communication an even more valuable element of marketing by identifying those many points that link the two disciplines. Using the three key points at which the two disciplines intersect—messages, stakeholders, and interactivity—the authors develop a communication-based model of marketing. They demonstrate how interactive communication at three levels—corporate, marketing, and marketing communication—leads to the brand relationships that drive brand value.

Correlates of Integrated Marketing Communications
Article
The objective of this research was to identify factors that are significantly related to the degree of integration of a company's marketing communications activities. A three-item scale was developed to measure integrated marketing communications in a cross-sectional sample of senior marketing managers in U.S. companies. Results show that firms whose marketing communications programs tend to be integrated are also likely to be small, consumer-focused, service-oriented companies. They are also more common in manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, and mining industries. Managers in firms with greater integration also tend to be more experienced, and their products or services are more likely to be experiencing market share growth. Implications of these findings for marketing communications managers and researchers are then discussed.
