Further reading

The different levels are:

Presence

Who is aware of your brand? — This is the foundation you need to define for your pricing model and the 4P. Customers are aware of your brand but don‘t have any emotional attachment to it.

Relevance

Who starts to think of your brand? —Show that your brand is better and offer informative material that allows customers to compare your brand.

Performance

Who associates an identity with it? — Communicate the benefits and added value of features rather than features themselves.

Advantage

Who sees an advantage in the brand? — Customers associate emotions with brands – enhance them and communicate the perceived advantages.

Bonding

Customers attached to your brand — The brand is part of the customer’s self-image. They exclude others and become a vocal advocate of the brand. Build a culture around it and provide rewards, host events, etc.
