It has been suggested from the literature that there is limited work done on exploring the notion of brand evangelism. Brand evangelism occurs when customer do positive word of mouth and tries to convince other to use or buy the same brand and rand evangelism involved commitment and emotional attachment (McConnell and Huba, 2002).

Brand relation influence in both brand related community and community brand evangelism. Where brand evangelism is caused by commitment toward brand community (Scarpi, 2010). Although the advocacy of the evangelism or positive word of mouth, incorporating positive WOM and brand acceptance, can create from multiple sources, including friends or experts of the relevant brand (Senecal & Nantel, 2004). Brand evangelist consumers are not just the members the brand community positively who defend the brand, evangelist customer are beyond than that they will also denigrate and also attack the brands that represent threat to the brand he/she is using. Brand evangelist customer feel embarrassed when someone do negative comment about the brand (Marticotte., 2016). Generally, brand evangelists are those customers who keenly loyal to one particular brand, willingly spread positive brand experience to others and do negative word of mouth communication of other brand, and evangelist customers persuade others to purchase the same brand that he/she is using. Brand evangelism involved passion and emotion; therefore itis difficult for the competitor to attract their attention toward he brand (M. Hafiz & Sh. Ahmad 2014).

Brand evangelists are committed consumers who have a strong emotional connection to a brand and spread the message about their preferred brands (Hollebeek, 2011). (Doss., 2014) defines that brand evangelists consumer is individual who communicate with other mean friends, colleagues and family members and share his/her ideas and feelings with the specific brand. According to Matzler et al. (2007), brand evangelism describes an active and committed way of spreading positive word of mouth and positive opinions regarding the brand or services that he/she is consuming and also trying to persuade others to become emotionally engaged with the same brand, as ‘consumers who evangelize are passionate about their brand and feel the need to share their emotions with others. Becerra and Badrinarayanan, (2013) see brand evangelism as ‘the dynamic behavioural and vocal support toward of a brand including actions of such as purchasing the brand or taking the services, disseminating positive brand referrals, and convincing others about a focal brand by disapproving competing brands or services. A brand evangelist acts as an unpaid spokesperson on behalf of the brand (Doss,
A customer’s response falls in two categories, judgment and feelings. Consumers are constantly making judgments about a brand. These judgments fall into four categories: quality, credibility, consideration, and superiority (Keller, 2001). Customers judge a brand based on its actual and perceived quality, and customers judge credibility using the perception of the company’s expertise, trustworthiness, and likability. To what extent is the brand seen as “competent, innovative, and a market leader,” “dependable and sensitive to the interest of customers,” and “fun, interesting, and worth spending time with” (Keller,
A brand audit is a detailed assessment of a brand’s current ranking in the market compared to other competitors. It provides information on how the business is performing in the market. A brand audit also aims at examining the image and reputation of the brand as perceived by customers. The two key elements of brand audit are brand inventory and brand exploratory. Brand inventory provides up to date itinerary of how a company markets and brands its products. On the other hand, a brand exploratory is an examination undertaken so as to comprehend what consumers feel about the brand. It seeks to conduct a consumer insight research in order to acquire consumers’ feelings and perceptions. This paper looks into the brand exploratory aspect of auditing under the customer-based brand equity (CBBE) model.

Tanner and Raymond (2014) describe branding activity as “strategies that are designed to create an image and position in the consumers’ minds” (c.6). When branding messages coincide with its offerings’ characteristics, it establishes consumer trust, and brand strength. For example, when first introducing Dove brand in 1957, by labeling its product as a “beauty cleansing bar . . . [with] ¼ moisturizing cream, that rinses cleaner than soap” (Unilever, 2016), we can see that marketers associated the brand to moisturizing and beauty, and disassociated the brand from common soap. Over the years, this consistent message coinciding with product performance has strengthened the Dove brand. Strong brand equity is derived from consistent, strategic branding that establishes perceived quality and emotional attachment (Entrepreneur, 2016); therefore, consumers are more likely to pay higher prices, as well as purchase new offerings connected to the
When I learned that I had to write this research paper, instead of procrastinating, I convinced myself to JUST DO IT. This phrase also happens to be one of the signature phrases of the leading athletic apparel company, Nike. The JUST DO IT campaign has been very successful for Nike, but it is not he sole reason for their success. Nike’s campaign has definitely persuaded me to go out and buy a few Nike products. So what exactly does Nike’s persuasive campaign consist of? This paper will discuss all aspects of Nike’s persuasive campaign. Some of the campaign’s strategies, goals, and techniques will be revealed. Some persuasive theories that can be applied to the Nike advertising campaign will be identified and explained. After discussing these theories, the specific arguments of the campaign will be validated. Overall, the entire campaign will be analyzed and it will be determined whether the campaign is a success or a failure.

...s is achieved through social groups. Marketers focus upon group influence and social needs in their marketing activity to develop a stronger brand image which carers to the needs of the consumers.
The practice of brand management is a key component of marketing and performs an integral function by motivating the wants and needs of consumers. It is known that marketing can shape consumer needs and wants, however, consumers today appear to be more knowledgeable about the information regarding products. Consumers lead busy lives and have therefore gone to the internet as one of the many channels to learn about products in order to make informed decisions. This paper will discuss the argument that marketing should reflect the needs and wants of consumers rather than shaping these attributes. Due to the speed and ease of obtaining information, consumers do not take at face value strong marketing efforts that appear to be overly aggressive and push a brand rather than just being informative. Brand managers have to be aware of these changing dynamics and carefully craft brand management practices to meet the demands of consumers.
Research can be defined as a systematic method through which new knowledge is discovered. No matter what topic is being studied or analyzed, the value of research lies in how well it is designed and carried out. There are several types of research which include: surveys, interviews, content analysis and focus groups. As an advertiser it is important not only to be aware of your surroundings, but what goes on in people’s minds. Individuals’ needs and wants are not only essential but the base of an advertisement’s success. The purpose of this essay is to conduct my own research about a company that has transcended barriers such as race, disabilities, and gender with a phrase that has sparked interest, innovation and motivation all over the world: “Just Do It”. Since the 1980’s Nike has not only become one of the leading sports brands, but a corporation that learned just how to convey a message and reach their target consumers through successful advertisement. The question is: What is portrayed through Nike’s advertisement and slogans? How has this helped sales, and how far has advertisement pushed its success? The objective of this research paper is to find and understand in-depth answers to these questions that bring a
Marketing professionals create, manage and/or enhance brands in order to create or bolster demand for the product. A successful marketing plan will help assure that consumers look beyond just the price or function of a product when making a purchasing decision, in part, a well planned marketing effort will create a “feel good” association about the product the consumer is about to purchase (Petty) A key part of a career in marketing is to understand the needs, preferences, and constraints that define the target group of consumers or the market niche corresponding to the brand. This is done by market research. This is accomplished through market research, essentially using survey techniques, statistics, psychology and social understanding to help gather information on what consumers want and/or need, and then designing products, or services, to hopefully meet ...
Consumers pay millions of dollar for an advertisement campaigns, but word of mouth advertisement is absolutely free and reliable. This type of marketing spread quickly and effectively among consumers. (Jacques Bughin, 2010)
Marketing and branding, two of the most common used words in the contemporary world, is closely linked to each other without doubts, but the importance of branding to successful marketing is enquired to measure in term of the question. In fact, various people have different ideas on marketing and branding. For most of people, or customers, the two are normally combined in their minds or even equal to each other. For example, people could raise Apple as the answer for both questions of "what is good branding" and "what is successful marketing". In fact, they are two separate topics on academic, and branding is just one of the numerous marketing activities apparently. However, the perception of consumers might be a good guide to answer the question.
