trustworthiness among their present customers. The brand must have the
distinctive quality that makes a brand dissimilar from other brands. 5
When the firm wants to create brand loyalty, they should establish long term
relationship with their customers and consumers as an understandable relationship
with each other. It gives the company long term profitability and reduce the
companys cost as they want to acquire new customers. The Brand loyalty with
target audience as more than product and service are difficult to differentiate, the
customer may want to an additional point of connection with company and
customer to develop the commitment of long term relationship for brand loyalty.
The additional point of brand loyalty may fulfill the long term customers
requirements through companys ability to serve their customers requirements.
The Loyalty of customers towards specific industry brands shows not only loyalty
but also has reputation of ongoing sale of company from their target customers
and increases the companys long term profitability sale as well. The Brand
loyalty need to invest significant resources to develop long term Brands. The
brand loyalty of the customer base is often the core of a brands equity.6

Literature Review
2. Literature Review
2.1 Theoretical Background:
In this era everyone wants new thing for their using purpose even that
layman as well which can satisfy their needs. Therefore marketers are trying to
satisfy their needs through launching new product with Brand name. At this stage
consumers are thing that which product brand satisfies my needs wants and
demand.8 The Branding has become vital role in around the world for this
competitive era. Branding means to you can differentiate the goods and services
from one producer to another producer.
The term brand, we can denote brand through different things which is name,
term, sign, symbol, design which one seller to another seller to differentiate them
from competitors.9
The Loyalty is a historical word which shows how we are loyal to our job, family,
and country friends and so on. Therefore, that word came in marketing
boundaries, where marketers and sellers use term like Customers Loyalty and
Brand Loyalty.10 When we build a Brand then we ought to be creating Loyalty
from customer or consumers.
The Brand Loyalty basically indicates that to consumers and customers repeat
purchasing and building loyal customers requires a company to discriminate. 11
Brand Loyalty means repeat purchase. It is good for those companies who wants
to generates repeat cash, which means when buyer wants to purchase particular
brand and they wants to again and again thats create repeat cash .
The Trust is admitting an attributes related with an thing or a personality. Trust to
a brand is a emotional feature, which highlight all factors hold on the

customers. The Brand Awareness could create through mass advertising i.e. ads,
news papers, magazine, and sign boards and so on. The Brand Awareness tells,
what brand characteristics, features and social status associate of a brand. The
customers are willing to pay a price and accept good-quality goods for the same
brand if it is a brand with high awareness of others brands.18

Farley (1964), has examined the why does Brand Loyalty vary over products.
The factor Analysis has used to solve the difficult study to exmine. In this
research the used to the variable to solve the study problem i.e. price activity,
distribution characteristics of supply structure and value of critical of the product
in the consumers consumption usage over Brand Switching. The sample size of
this study is 199.The result shows that the positive relationship between
dependent and independent variables. Further, the effects again infer the
essentialness of variables connected with the structure of businesses in
examination of plans of shopper conduct
Selnes (1993) examined the Effect of Product Performance on Brand Reputation,
Satisfaction and Loyalty. Product performance, customer satisfaction, customer
loyalty, performance and satisfaction, performance and brand reputation
satisfaction brand reputation and loyalty have been used. Data is collected from
different companies by questionnaire and telephone interview. From life insurance
company 187 responses were collected, telephone company 385 responses,
college sample 325 responses and salmon feed supplier 125 responses. Result
indicates that brand reputation has strong effect on loyalty and there is strong
relationship between the quality ad loyalties. Similarly there is significant
association between loyalty and brand reputation. The results also indicates that
the between satisfaction and loyalty will be less when controlling for the effect of
the brand reputation on loyalty. In future this model should test in more industries
and on multiple companies with in same industry.

more stupendous than wanted, with the opposite consequence for small partition
Brands. As far as mark reliability, presently commonplace marks, with a solid
disconnected from the net presence, do far better in the Internet nature than
disconnected from the net
Merisavo and Raulas, (2004) examine the impact of email marketing and
preference of email content among the users toward the establishment of brand
loyalty of consumers. 890 samples were used in the study. Cronbachs Alpha was
used in this study to check the reliability of the measurements. Variables consist
of Single brand loyal consumer, Multiband loyal consumer, and Experimental
brand switchers Routinized brand Switchers and Loyalty groups were constructed
from usage of brands of company, brand preference, and variety seeking to check
their impact. The finding of this study tells us that the connection with consumers
via e-mail contacts have a positive effect on loyalty. The study encourages
marketers to build some email based activities through which customers gets
motivated and updated with the new offerings.
Boas (2004) has studied about the consumers learning and Brand Loyalty in
competitive era. This paper recognizes a model in which shoppers study in the
first period concerning the item they purchase and after that settle on decisions in
the second period concerning the contending items, given what they studied in the
first period. The paper likewise portrays the imperativeness of customer picking
up impacts on the business sector result.
D. Schoenbachler et al. (2004), examine the possible outcome for create long term
brand loyalty that is not straightly impact to the marketing of the attracting new
customers to fulfill the needs of buyers through new product for individual
15
investors in the brands corporate parent. The data were collected through 500
investors. The regression analysis was used. Individual investor, brand loyalty,
companys stock, and product experience. The result identified that the likelihood
of stock purchase based on product/service use, except holdings outside of
stock/mutual funds, are also significant predictors of the likelihood of purchasing
products/services because of stock ownership. In this study researcher make know
for the each inventors may establish
preference and repeat buying purchase behavior of target customers (which show
that, but are not state-of-the-art of brand loyalty), they do not typically exhibit
brand loyalty.
Bandyopadhyay et al (2005), examine the Twofold Jeopardy (DJ) impact is
likewise affected by the connection between customer decision precursors and
customer getting conduct. Sample size of this study was 1,800 respondents. The
z-test for comparison of population parameters was applied and chi-square used in
this study. Attitude, Opportunity, Brand Choice, and Purchase frequency are
variables are used in this study Results show that small brands are endangered
twice. To start with, they experience less- good mean esteem on both lifelong and
transaction particular forerunners. Second, the switching buyers of small brands
have weaker mentality- decision connection as contrasted with the faithful
customers. The exploration proposes that twofold danger of small brands should
not be as irreversible sensation set. A more in- profundity grasping of the singlelevel precursors of shopper decision might as well encourage small brands to

Brink et al. (2006) examine the impact on brand loyalty by tactical and strategic
cause-related marketing and customer involvement. The sample size was design
with 240 participants. One-way ANOVA was used to interpret the data. The
variables were used in this study tactical CRM and Brand loyalty, strategic CRM,
control group. Study concludes that strategic cause related marketing had been
significantly enhanced the level of brand loyalty of low level product where
tactical cause related marketing does not have any effect on brand loyalty.
Researcher suggested that organization should involve in CRM campaigns for
expanding the brand loyalty.
Shang et al. (2006) examine the relationship between posting behaviors and
consumers lurking among consumer group of specific brand loyalty. The sample
size of this study was 350. Techniques which are used to test the model are
principal components analysis and hierarchical regressions. Variables through
which the research took place are attitudes, trust, Involvement, loyalty and toward
the brand exist in messages. Research concluded in the way that all the alternative
hypothesis is accepted and the proposed model didnt explain the cause of the
relation ship among he variables. This study found explanation of brand loyalty
can be contributed by the lurking behavior of consumer.
Huber et al. (2006), has worked on how to determine the Brand loyalty purpose in
competitive era. The variable were used in this study to identify the gap i.e.
Loyalty intention Affective Commitment, Perceived Value, Brand Equity
towards Brand Loyalty. The sample size of this study is 2990. The outcomes have
imperative suggestions for supervisors who are answerable for enhancing
18
observed worth and administrators who are answerable for raising Brands and
associations.
Martensen, (2007), examine the relation ship of with the sample size of 1000
interviews with (8-12 years-old) students were conducted. They used Regression
Analysis technique. The variables were used in study dependent variables (overall
satisfaction, impulse buying) and independent variables (fulfillment of
expectation, psychosocial consequences and abstract product attributes .The study
indicates that teen agers are highly satisfied with their mobile phones as compared
to the adults.
Paswan et al. (2007), examine the factors on which the consumer accept or reject
service brand and also the facts about how consumer evaluates substitute brands..
The Sample size of this study is 4000 students. Factor analysis and multiple
regression techniques were used to evaluate the data. The dependent variables are
consumer satisfaction and attainment of preferred brand where the independent
variables are features of brand, brand loyalty. The study results indicate that the
consumer who preferred the alternate brand are not very satisfied where as
satisfaction level is very high in selecting the brand of their own choice which
also shoe the loyalty towards that brand.
Kim et al. (2007), examine the impact of co-branding on customer satisfaction
which ultimately turn in to the brand loyalty. The sample size was used in study
350. The Correlation Matrix, confirmatory factor model and structural equation
modeling was used for the desired result. Research indicates that Post-purchase
services and co branding had a significantly effect on brand loyalty and customer
satisfaction where as premium promotion technique didnt respond to any of the
focused variable of the research.

of contextual factors as well as behavioral intentions towards purchase decisions.
Sample size was of this study 380. The covariance matrix was used in this study.
The variables used in this study are Brand switching, Brand loyalty and Purchase
Decision. The research findings showed that, as predicted, variable contextual
factors increase

in building brand loyalty. In other words the powerful brand leads to the brand
loyalty. In their study independent variables are customer satisfaction, perception
value, brand trust and brand identity where dependent variable is brand loyalty.
Study concluded that value perception, satisfaction of the customer and brand
trust influence by brand identity. Therefore, Brand identity also has an impact
over customer satisfaction which also increases the brand loyalty.

METHODOLOGY
3. METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Approach:
In the research environment there are three types of research approaches
Quantitative, Qualitative and Mixed approach. The different research approaches
have different characteristics. The Quantitative approach is based on numeric
values i.e. Salary, temperature and Age etc. The Qualitative approach is based on
25
non-numeric values and we cannot count and measure it for example Love,
Relation Hate and so on. On the other side, mixed approach is based on both
Quantitative and Qualitative approaches. In this study we are using numeric data
to find out the relationship between dependent and Independent variable
therefore, we are using Quantitative approach. In Quantitative approach we define
our research and explore the data then call it exploratory design. The Exploratory
Design to find out the best research design to data collection method and selection
of subjects and investigate something in our culture.
3.2 Research purpose:
Our research based on exploratory because we are trying to find out Brand loyalty
in FMCG product is Tetra Pack Milk with one of leading brand of Tetra Pack
Milk industry. We will find out what factors influence to loyal with particular
brand.

4. Data Analysis
In the Data Analysis chapter contains different Statistical test to complete the
study. The software being used in this study is SPSS. With the help of SPSS the
first test applied in software which is Reliability because first we need to verify
the data reliability of overall data as well as individual variable. The second test is
Factor Analysis which is called data reduction and last and important test is
Regression Analysis which shows the relationship between dependent and
independent variables. The detail information of test and their results as discuss
below.
31
4.1 Reliability
The first test has been applied in SPSS is Reliability test; it shows the consistency
and acceptability of data through questionnaire from target respondent. In this
study the 6 variable were used in this study which is 1 dependent variable and 5
are independent variables. The questionnaire comprised 24 questions, including 4
questions of dependent variable which is Brand Loyalty and 20 question of
independent variables which are 4 question of Brand Trust, 4 questions of Brand
Awareness, 5 question of Brand Perceived Value, 4 questions of Brand Identity
and last question have 3 question which is Word-of-Mouth. The Reliability of data
confirm from Cronbach's Alpha which should be more than 0.50 which means
50% from prescribed parameter. In this study the below mention table 4.1.1,
Cronbach's Alpha values shows .868 means 86.8% reliability of data which is
more than 0.50 as per requirement. Therefore, data is acceptable for complete this
study.

The Regression Analysis use to identify the relationship between dependent and
in dependent variables and it explain the how relationships are strong or weak.
The Regression Analysis is very important test to check the relationship.
Therefore, the Regression Analysis applied in this study. The above table 4.3.1
contains the different value and results i.e. Beta, t, P (Significance) and VIF
(Variance Inflation Factor). The Beta () values show the power or strength and
nature of relationship dependent and independent variables. In the beta value have
two characteristics in relationship nature negative relationship and positive
36
relationship towards dependent and independent variables. The beta also shows
the direction of relationship either they are moving same nature or opposite
direction means negative or positive. In regression analysis test, the all
independent variables (Brand Trust, Brand Awareness, Brand Perceived Value,
Brand Identity and in last Word-of-Mouth) are making positive relationship
towards dependent (Brand Loyalty). The beta values convert into regression
equation: Brand Loyalty (.740) = Brand Trust (.179) + Brand Awareness (.226) +
Brand Perceived Value (.106) + Brand Identity (.152) + Word-of- Mouth (.002).
The second column is t shows the importance of each variable while the P value is
the significance level of the contribution of the variables to the model. The third
column is significance level and it shows whose variable are significant in this
model and who is insignificant in this model. We have found the five items are
significant impact in this model which is constant, Brand Trust, Brand Awareness,
Brand Perceived Value and Brand Identity and their P. Value is less 0.05, but the
last variable Word-of-Mouth has insignificant value which is greater than 0.05
that is .96. It shows the relationship between dependent and independent are
positive, but their impact is insignificant. The fourth column is VIF (Variance
Inflation Factor) help us to find out multicollinearity among independent
variables. The VIF value as per researcher should be less than 10 which mean no
multicollinearity. If the VIF value greater than 10 that will be shows high
collinearity exist among independent variables. The Adjusted R square = 0.171
shows the percent of variation explain by model. In this study the model are
explain 17.1% by the independent variables. The R square also shows the 17.1%

analysis through applied in SPSS software. The first test is Reliability test to
measure the consistency of the responses. The result shows that the value of
Cronbachs alpha is 86.8% which is good and acceptable for this study. The next
test is Factor Analysis was run in SPSS on the collected data. The KMO was
assessed and it shows the satisfactory level and adequacy of the sample size. In
the Factor Analysis the Rotated component Matrix showed the loading factors
with high and enough level correlation with items in each factor and forming
factors properly. Finally, the Linear Regression Analysis was run in SPSS to asses
to check the impact of independent variables on the dependent variable. The
Statistical result obtained revealed that, all independent variables have positive
relationship on dependent variable towards Tetra Milk Pack industry in Karachi,
Pakistan. The Regression also shows the impact between dependent and
independent variables. As per result, the Brand Trust, Brand Awareness, Brand
Perceived Value and Brand Identity have significant results, but the Word-ofMouth is showing insignificant result in target research. In the previous study the
Word-of-Mouth was not used in study in one of Iranian city is Tehran on Dairy
Products. The overall variation of the model explained by R square is relatively is
lower which indicates that other variables, not included in this study, may explain
a higher level of variation.
