Brand Awareness is a critical thing for all businesses; it is a qualitative measurement of how much a customer is familiar with a particular brand, product or service. Creating brand awareness is the primary step in endorsing a fresh brand or stimulating an older product. Brand Awareness is also very crucial for building brand equity.

Brand Awareness includes three levels: Brand Recognition, Brand Recall, and Top-of-Mind Awareness. Brand Recognition, also known as “aided call”, is the level to which a customer can recognize a brand name by its elements and attributes. Brand Recall, also known as “unaided call”, measures how well a customer is attached with a brand name or a class of products. Top-of-Mind Awareness is the first brand that comes to the mind of a customer when thinking of a particular class of products.

Brand Awareness is one of the most vital elements for increasing sales of a product. It helps every business to extend and survive in the competition. The rate of brand awareness is proportional to the sales of the product. The higher the brand awareness, the better the sales and vice versa. It also encourages audiences which lead to an increase in market share and incremental sales.
