Familiarity
The extent to which a person feels a sense of familiarity towards a product or brand. Familiarity goes deeper than awareness and is generally correlated with important measures such as trust. This measurement also contributes to the overall brand value.
Implications
The level of recognition or knowledge that consumers or stakeholders have about a brand, product, or concept, often influencing decision-making, trust, and preference, and is a key factor in brand equity and marketing strategy.
Example
Example: A beverage company�s marketing strategy focuses on increasing familiarity with its new product by running extensive ad campaigns and securing prominent shelf space in stores.
