Re: what do brands on consumer products mean to you>buys product(Original post by ednut)
For example why are some people drawn towards consumer branding on products just because its well know for example nike or addidas why would you or someone be more drawn to this product because it bears the logo of that brand vs buying something which was cheaper but not branded but was essentially the same quality
Im just trying to understand why some people who i know are so brainwashed by branded products or the latest branded nike shirt or trousers etc you know?
i cannot get my head around it

>product is quality
>buys from that brand again.
>buys product
>product is not quality
>doesn't buy from that brand again. -

Brand power is intoxicatingly brilliant at persuading you to buy a product that you would have otherwise not even knew existed. -

I'd buy branded products for like clothes and shoes 1. If I like the style and they fit good or 2. Because I know the quality is likely to last longer than say a pair of shoes from primark, for example.
With food brands, I just tend to buy cheapo store branded products. Sometimes I fine them in better taste and quality than the branded products.
If its a brand and I like it, then I will buy it if I can't find the same type of thing somewhere else for cheaper.

Re: what do brands on consumer products mean to youThe only brands I really go for are Simple for face/beauty products because they're kind on skin and work well, and Pepsi because other colas with the exception of Coca Cola just don't do it for me.

Re: what do brands on consumer products mean to youIf anything, it would assure me of the quality.
Although we all know that money doesn't always equal good quality.
But I'll say a Gucci pair of jeans or whatever will always be of better quality than a Primark pair of jeans. -

Re: what do brands on consumer products mean to youMost people wear specific clothing brands because they don't have the courage/knowledge to be able to think of a style they like and feel represents them, so instead of risking wearing something unfashionable, they go for something identifiable as a kind of lowest common denominator safety net.
In certain circles, spending money on expensive "designer" clothes is seen as a kind of ostentatious display of status, like having a huge tv or drinking Stella Artois.
Its also quite obvious to anyone who has studied business or marketing that the more fashionable the brand, the lower quality/price ratio you will receive.
