Technique Overview

Brand Loyalty

Brand Loyalty Definition

Brand loyalty can be defined as the extent of consumer faithfulness towards a specific brand and this faithfulness is expressed through repeat purchases and other positive behaviours such as word of mouth advocacy, irrespective of the marketing pressures generated by the other competing brands (Kotler & Keller, 2006; Kotler, et al., 2008). Brand loyalty may exist when a consumer is unwilling to switch from a brand that he or she is familiar with.
