Brand Awareness Studies
Studies designed to measure brand recognition and brand preference of your company’s brand and those of your competitors in the eyes of your target buyers in the United States and other countries.
Virtually everyone can recognize Nike’s swoosh logo. But unless you’re the dominant player in your industry, not everyone may recognize your company’s name or logo. And if your prospects have never heard of you, then it will be virtually impossible for your company to be on their shortlists.
Before you invest in programs to increase your company’s brand awareness, it’s wise to measure your company’s brand awareness – and track it annually to measure the results of those marketing programs designed, at least in part, to increase brand awareness.
LeadingEdge helps technology vendors gauge their brand awareness in various ways (all included within the same study):
- Brand recall: The percentage of buyers who are able to name your brand when asked to name brands in your product or service category. This is also called “unaided brand awareness.”
- Top-of-mind awareness: This is defined as the first brand that comes into a buyer’s mind when completing the aforementioned brand recall question.
- Brand recognition: The percentage of buyers who recognize your brand from a multiple choice (and randomized) list of brands in your product or service category. This is also called “aided brand awareness.”
- Brand preference: Gauge the feelings of buyers about your brand and the brands of your competitors with regard to favorability, familiarity, and likelihood to recommend.
When it comes to measuring brand awareness, there are many vendors to choose from. So, what makes LeadingEdge different?
