Abstract:-

A successful branding strategy always builds a string of a brand image in the minds of consumers. Brand image refers to how the brand is perceived by the customers Brand image is the thoughts of the consumer on brand features, information, and user evaluation. Brand Loyalty is determined by several distinct psychological processes and it entails multivariate measurements. Customers' Perceived value, Brand trust, Customers' satisfaction, Repeat purchase behaviour and Commitment are found to be the key influencing factors of brand loyalty.

This paper looks into these two issues i.e. Brand Loyalty & Brand Image.

This research also finds out whether loyalty depends on gender or not? What are the important factors affect while purchasing shampoo? To find out the satisfaction level with respect to quality & price.
