By BJ Bueno
Brand Equity can be defined as the commercial value that derives from cons=
umer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service=2C in=
 other words=2C the value premium that a company generates from a product=
 with a recognizable name when compared to a generic equivalent. Think App=
le=E2=80=99s new iPhone X price starting at $1000 compared to a generic sm=
artphone.

The good news is that you can create brand equity for your products and se=
rvices by making them memorable=2C easily recognizable=2C and superior in=
 quality and reliability.

Brand equity has three essential components:
1. Consumer perception
2. Negative or positive effects
3. Resulting value

First and foremost=2C brand equity is built by consumer perception=2C whic=
h includes both knowledge and experience with a brand and its products. Th=
e knowledge that a customer segment holds about a brand directly results i=
n either positive or adverse effect. If the brand equity is positive=2C th=
e organization=2C its products=2C and its financials can benefit. If the b=
rand equity is negative=2C the opposite is true.

These effects can turn into either tangible or intangible value.

If the effect is positive=2C the actual value is realized as increases in=
 revenue or profits and intangible value is achieved as marketing awarenes=
s or goodwill. If the effects are negative=2C the tangible or intangible v=
alue is also negative.

For example=2C if consumers are willing to pay more for a generic product=
 than for a branded one=2C the name is said to have negative brand equity.

Cult Brands like Disney=2C Apple=2C and Harley Davidson=2C have high brand=
 equity. Brand equity accounts for the difference in customer response tha=
t a brand name makes.

In essence=2C brand equity is a factor of a brand=E2=80=99s ability to kee=
p and attract customers.

Mini Workshop: Maximize Brand Value
* Who are your most profitable customers?
* What drives your best customers to buy from you?
* What emerging consumer needs can you address?
* How can you differentiate your brand?

Brands with high perceived value command premium pricing=2C better margins=
=2C and wider distribution. By knowing your best customers and what drives=
 them to choose you more often you can maximize your brand equity.
