  11. Brand Equity Brand equity has been also defined as: • The component of overall preference not explained by objectively measured attributes; and • The set of consumer associations & behaviours that permits the brand to earn greater volume or margins than it could without the brand name. http://www.ag.state.co.us/mkt/BrandEquityandImageAssess.pdf#search='logo%20images%20brandequity‘ (retrieved Jan/05/2006), Brand Werks Group,

  12. Brand Equity “Brand image is everything. It is the sum of all tangible & intangible traits — the ideas, beliefs, values, prejudices, interests, features & ancestry that make it unique. A brand image visually & collectively represents all internal & external characteristics — the name, symbol, packaging, literature, signs, vehicles & culture. It's anything & everything that influences how a brand or a company is perceived by target constituencies — or even a single customer. Brand image may be the best, single marketable investment a company can make. Creating or revitalizing a positive brand image is a basic component of every business — and lays a foundation on which companies can build their future.” http://www.ag.state.co.us/mkt/BrandEquityandImageAssess.pdf#search='logo%20images%20brandequity‘ (retrieved Jan/05/2006), Brand Werks Group
