Building a brand : The Customer - based Brand Equity model - CBBE

The Customer based Brand equity model is based on the 4 questions asked by the customer.
  1. Who are you ? - Brand identity
  2. What are you? - Brand meaning
  3. What do I think or feel about you? - Brand responses
  4.   What kind of association would I like to have with you? - Brand relationship
The above order is known as the Branding ladder, and the importance of the order lies in the fact that without the identity, we really cannot establish a meaning, responses won't occur unless the meaning has been established, and without the proper responses being elicited a relationship cannot be forged

A strong brand is one which utilizes the six “brand building blocks” below, assembled in the shape of a pyramid to reach to the top and enjoy a significant brand equity.



a)      Salience: It measures the awareness of the brand, how and when the brand is evoked in a customer’s mind

b)      Performance: Relates to the satisfaction of the customer’s primary needs, reliability, durability, service, price, etc.

c)      Imagery: Relates to the satisfaction of the customer’s psychological needs such as values, heritage, experiences, personality, etc.

d)     Judgements: Focuses on customer’s opinion based on credibility, performance and imagery.

e)      Feelings: Relates to the customer’s emotional responses (fun, warm, exciting, secure, etc.) to the brand.

f)       Resonance: Defines the loyalty, attachment and therefore the engagement with the brand

As can be seen from the pyramid, the customer-based brand equity model has two sides with four levels:
1)      The Rational route
2)      The Emotional route

A brand would need to utilize both the rational route and the emotional route to create a strong brand equity. After all, a strong brand equity will translate into higher sales numbers, which in turn translates into larger profits for the brand and company.

Points of Parity and Points of Difference

Once a marketer has defined the target market and the type of competition, it’s imperative for the marketer to define the basis of this positioning. This can be done by the defining the Points of Parity and Points of Difference. Points of Parity (POP) are usually the attributes or functionalities or benefits or any other marketing mix elements that are not unique to the brand and might be shared by some or all the competitors, as they mostly include the basic necessities for a brand to be considered in a particular category.
