    1076 Words  | 3 Pages

The reason for low brand equity is that price promotions lead consumers to think primarily about the deals and not about the utility provided by the brand. However, non-monetary promotions can be used to build brand knowledge rather than erosion of brand image, since in this case, price is not the guiding factor. When it comes to monetary promotions such as discounts and clearance, it may lead to undermining brand equity of brands.
