According to new research from Parks Associates, 71% of consumer electronics buyers only consider one brand when when making a purchase. Factoring into that consideration (or lack thereof) is price (which was cited by 15% of buyers as their reason for considering only one brand), product quality (cited by 10%) and general brand preference (19%).
“Brand strength comes from a variety of factors, like high-quality and disruptive products,” Barbara Kraus, director of research for Parks Associates, tells Marketing Daily. “Of course, marketing plays into that. You have to get the name out there.”
