Abstract

The branding process can be classified as business and consumer based branding. The current study introduces a chain model proposal to the consumer-based branding process. The model focuses on identifying and analyzing the process between consumers' perceptual benefits and brand attachment. The related process focuses on the relationship between product performance, brand preference, subjective brand knowledge, brand engagement in self concept and emotional brand attachment factors. The basic assumption of the model is that a consumer first benefits on the basis of brand performance, this benefit triggers brand preference, then this preference turns into subjective brand knowledge, brand knowledge supports consumer self-brand engagement, and eventually a brand attachment.In this context, the study conducted on 394 consumers in the Bursa province and the constructed model was tested by structural equation analysis. The analysis is based on the assumption that the consumer performs five main factors modeled in branding perception in chain / sequential order. Therefore, both the linear and the median effect values were tested and the proposed model was found valid as a result of the structural equation modeling.
