If they get satisfaction from a single consumption, the brand gets identified and will get purchased repeatedly. The brand name, brand mark, etc helps the customer to identify the product easily.
(ii) Ensures Quality: If a product is a branded one the customers usually have an expectation of quality from the product. If the product didn’t satisfy their expectation they can easily approach the manufacturer and complain. Such facility builds confidence of consumers.
