A relatively high level of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/when-it-comes-to-brand-ads-just-do-it\">brand awareness<\/a> can be a competitive advantage and is frequently the first step in the buyer&#8217;s journey. Brand recall, recognition, and share of voice are related metrics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brand equity.<\/strong> The value that a brand adds to a product. It is why some folks pay more for an iPhone. Brand equity is often gauged in terms of buyer perceptions and associations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brand loyalty.<\/strong> Assesses the likelihood that customers will repeatedly purchase a brand&#8217;s products regardless of whether it is a retailer or direct-to-consumer business. Loyalty indicates a stable customer base and can forecast sales. High brand loyalty often reduces marketing costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brand consistency.<\/strong> Measures how uniformly a brand presents itself across channels and touchpoints. Marketers can use this measurement to ensure shoppers receive a consistent brand experience, which, in turn, can reinforce brand identity and trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shopper satisfaction.<\/strong> Evaluates how happy customers are with a brand&#8217;s products or services. Often, this metric is associated with a <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/net-promoter-score-best-kpi-ecommerce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Net Promoter Score<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Purchase intent.<\/strong> Gauges the likelihood that a shopper will buy a brand&#8217;s product. This metric helps forecast sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brand metrics often derive from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/5-good-ways-to-measure-brand-awareness\">surveys and conjoint analysis<\/a>, where respondents consider multiple features jointly.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Use Brand Metrics<\/h3>\n<p>In general, brand-related measures provide three types of insights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Familiarity,<\/li>\n<li>Perception,<\/li>\n<li>Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consumers <em>familiar<\/em> with a store or product are relatively easier to convert into customers. Thus boosting brand awareness can lead to lower customer acquisition costs.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, shoppers familiar with a product or brand often have favorite features. Thus, familiarity with a product or brand can lead to relatively more personalized messaging.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Perception<\/em> metrics tell marketers if their brand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/what-makes-a-good-ecommerce-brand\">adds value<\/a> to the selling proposition. Shoppers might pay more for a product from a store they trust. This is common with Amazon. Shoppers would rather purchase a product from Amazon because they believe the company will deliver quickly, manage returns well, and ultimately stand with the shopper if there is a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Measures of <em>investment <\/em>indicate the likelihood of a purchase. Shoppers likely to buy could respond to unique, specialized marketing campaigns versus those with low intent.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating these insights into marketing decisions ensures a more targeted approach.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine, for example, a DTC business specializing in bar and cocktail products. If it has high brand loyalty \u2014 meaning its customers love the brand \u2014 the company could run a refer-a-friend campaign. But a similar campaign for a lesser-known brand would not likely work since shoppers would presumably not recommend an unfamiliar product.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1528650\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1528650\" class=\"wp-image-1528650 size-large\" title=\"Image of various cocktails and accessories on a shelf\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-570x380.jpg\" alt=\"Image of various cocktails and accessories on a shelf\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/102123-brand-example.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1528650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A company with loads of brand loyalty could try a refer-a-friend campaign.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Measurement Frameworks<\/h3>\n<p>Brand measures, while indicative, complement a broader marketing framework.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Data &amp; Marketing Association in the U.K. released a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/dma.org.uk\/article\/marketing-measurement-framework-101\">marketing measurement framework<\/a> that encourages using brand metrics with other performance indicators.<\/p>\n<p>Such frameworks are not a rote way to measure every promotion but rather a method for developing campaign measurements wherein brand metrics play a role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumers&#8217; views of a brand impact sales.
