They guarantee the lowest possible price

7. Why does customer-centricity matter for brand equity?

Brand equity can be damaged when claims do not match real customer experience
Online reviews make brand claims unnecessary
Customer experience has no effect on brand value

Brand equity can be damaged when claims do not match real customer experience

Customer-centricity matters because brand equity is harmed when promises and claims do not match what customers actually experience. Reviews and word-of-mouth can reveal that gap quickly.

8. Which set of items best matches brand elements?

Names and logos that identify and differentiate a brand
Advertising budgets and profit margins
Factories and warehouses that deliver products

The physical item or service being sold
A differentiating identity built from names, symbols, and meanings

A differentiating identity built from names, symbols, and meanings

Explication

A brand is defined as a differentiating identity built from name, symbols, and meanings that helps consumers choose. The product itself is not the brand.

10. Why is branding especially useful for services?

Services can be fully inspected before buying
Services are intangible and harder to evaluate before purchase
Services are always cheaper than goods
Services do not need differentiation

Services are intangible and harder to evaluate before purchase
