【正文】 標(biāo)題：Managing Brand EquityLEVERAGING AND MEASURING BRAND EQUITY原文： Leveraging brand equity There are three ways to leverage brand equity: firstly building it, secondly borrowing it, or thirdly buying it. Increasingly, ”building” brand equity is not easy – given the proliferation of brands and the intense petition that is prevalent in many industries. Within a given industry, there typically exist many high quality products and high levels of advertising, making it difficult to introduce superior quality brand and shape perceptions through advertising. Thus, the alternative to building brand equity is by borrowing or buying it. (Farquhar 1990, RC10–RC11) Building brand equity Brand equity is built firstly, by creating positive brand evaluations with a quality product, secondly, by fostering accessible brand attitudes to have the most impact on consumer purchase behaviour, and thirdly, by developing a consistent brand image to form a relationship with the consumer. (Farquhar 1990, RC8–RC10) Of these three elements, positive brand evaluation may be considered the most important, and it is based on a quality product that delivers superior performance. The first element in building a strong brand is a positive brand evaluation. Quality is the cornerstone of a strong brand. A firm must have a quality product that delivers superior performance to the consumer in order to achieve a positive evaluation of the brand in the consumer’s memory.Three types of evaluations can be stored in a consumer’s memory: 1) affective responses, 2) cognitive evaluations and 3) behavioural intentions. Affective responses involve emotions or feelings toward the brand (., the brand makes me feel good about myself, the brand is a familiar friend or the brand symbolises status, affiliation or uniqueness). Cognitive evaluations are inferences made from beliefs about the brand (., the brand lowers the risk of something bad). Behavioural intentions are developed from habits or heuristic interest toward the brand (., the brand is the only one my family uses or the brand is on sale this week). Efforts to create positive brand evaluations are usually aimed at one of these types. (Farquhar 1990, RC8–RC9) The second element in building a strong brand is attitude accessibility. It refers to how quickly an individual can retrieve something stored in memory. Stored evaluations can be retrieved from memory in two ways. Automatic activation occurs spontaneously from memory upon the mere observation of the attitude object. Controlled activation requires the active attention of the individual to retrieve a previously stored evaluation or to construct a summary evaluation of the attitude object. The third element in building a strong brand is to have a consistent brand image. Consistency of the brand’s image is a part of managing the relationship between the consumer and the brand. A relationship develops between the personality of the brand and the personality of the consumer with each purchase. Building brand equity requires the creation of a familiar brand that has favourable, strong, and unique brand associations. This can be done both through the initial choice of the brand identities, such as the brand name, logo, or symbol, and through the integration of the brand identities into the supporting marketing program. The judicious choice of brand identities can contribute significantly to brand equity, but the primary input es fr
