1. Why does it matter that brands should be remembered by consumers?

Brand image is how customers think of a brand. Consumers should
remember brands because it will create an awareness and impressions that a
particular brand exists in the market. Not only that, the brand should be
recognized by consumers because of its credibility and equity towards its
consumers. Once the consumer is aware of the brand, there are different things
that they can encounter. For instance, a brand can express the consumer's
identity and view them as part of their self-image. Additionally, the brand provides
safety and peace of mind to the consumers. If the brand is trustworthy, it gives
them satisfaction and happiness in their lives.

 Brand awareness is essential when launching new products and services.
It is important because it will help promote the brand and product in people's
minds. People must remember your brand as a first step toward solving their
problems when searching for a specific solution for their life or company. Not only
that, once you gain their trust, it will result in increased sales and loyalty from
your customers. Thus, it is a challenge for marketers to build brand awareness.
5. How important is brand equity in a business?
Marketing strategy and efforts over time and continuity drive brand equity,
which results in brand awareness and brand knowledge, which can be positive or
negative. Customers often base their decisions on brand equity. They purchase
goods from businesses in which they trust, recognize, and reliably deliver value.
You can lose market share to your competitors if you do not have brand equity.
As a result, to maintain your company's sustainability and long-term viability, it's
essential to strive for and build positive brand equity.
