Which concept denotes the tendency of consumers to recognize a brand due to prior exposure?

• A. Brand awareness
• B. Brand image
• C. Brand loyalty
• D. Product launch

Answer: (A)

Brand awareness is the extent to which consumers recognize a brand because of prior exposure. It builds as people encounter the brand through ads, packaging, in-store presence, or word-of-mouth, so that when they see or hear the brand again they can identify it quickly even before evaluating its features. This recognition lowers the effort needed to consider the brand and can lead to greater preference over time. It’s different from brand image, which is about the perceptions and associations attached to the brand; brand loyalty, which is the repeated preference or purchase behavior; and a product launch, which is simply the event of introducing a new product to the market.
