Conceptualizing and Measuring Perceived Quality, Brand Awareness, and Brand Image Composition of Brand Loyalty

Abstract

This study examined the antecedents of brand equity such as, brand awareness, perceived quality and the mediating role of a brand Image on brand loyalty. Total number of (n = 150) questionnaires were distributed among the consumers living in four cities (Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, and Sargodha) of Pakistan. Out of the total questionnaires only (n = 130, 86.6%) completed questionnaires were received. Pearson correlation, linear regression and multiple regression tests were used to test the data and infer the results. Results show a positive relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Additionally, mediation has been found between brand awareness, perceived quality and brand loyalty due to brand image. It means that brand awareness and perceived quality develop the brand image which ultimately yields brand loyalty. Thus loyalty programs of beverage companies should focus on brand awareness and consumers' perception of quality. Overall, these results show that the influence on brand loyalty varies across various variables of the study. The results contribute significantly to the brand equity topic.

However, it seems brand loyalty has not been studied much in the context of the sports nutrition industry.…”

The Mediation of Tourist Engagement on The Effect of Destination Quality on Tourist Loyalty

“…However, perceived quality is capable of generating value for its owner in many ways, including positioning and differentiation against competitors. Saleem et, al., (2015) reinforces the idea that quality is a psychological judgment, which depends on the tourist perception gap between quality and perceived performance. Perceived quality is a tourist's perception of the destination offering, such as ease of access, overall environmental cleanliness, diversity of tourist attractions, quality of accommodation, friendliness of local residents, and opportunities for rest (Zabkar et, al., 2010).…”
