Please find 10 points I have listed below for the "Qualities of a Brand"

1. Well-known – without awareness, nothing else counts; a brand can’t be in


people’s purchase consideration sets unless they are aware of the brand

2. Relevant – the brand must be perceived to be relevant to people’s hopes, needs


and desires

3. Differentiated – to stand out among competitive alternatives, the brand must


be unique in ways that matter to customers

4. Customer-Centric – only when the brand knows its customers and their needs
well, can it deliver exceptional purchase and usage experiences

5. Trustworthy – this implies being honest and authentic, consistent and


predictable, reliable and dependable, and always delivering on its promises

6. Innovative – while a brand can succeed for a while without being innovative,
ultimately, given today’s hyper-competitive environment, brands must anticipate
customer needs and surprise and delight their customers with a constant stream
of relevant innovations

7. Likeable – brands can and do create emotional connections with their


customers; to do so, they should share values with their customers, possess
admirable qualities, and be likeable and easy to work with

8. Accessible – to convert brand preference into brand purchase, brands must be


easy to find and purchase; they must be accessible and convenient

9. Popular – while brands can be overexposed and certain exclusive brands thrive
on their exclusivity, in general, strong brands are perceived to be very popular,
much sought after and possessing positive momentum; strong brands receive
significant “buzz”

10. Valuable – when all of a brand’s functional, emotional, experiential and self-
expressive customer benefits are weighed against the cost (money and time) of
acquiring and using the brand, its value must be perceived to be good, excellent
or superior
