In a nutshell, Brand equity is defined as the premium charged by the company for its particular service or product offered as it has a well-known and recognised name in the market as compared to a similar line of products or services even though they have the same features and utility. It is basically the commercial value that is derived as a result of the positive perception of the consumer about the brand and its products or services.

Companies can generate a positive and high level of brand equity for their specific line of products or services by making them memorable in the minds of the consumers creating an emotional relationship through various marketing and promotional campaigns. But above all, the contribution has to be superior in quality and reliability to create good brand equity and if it fails to meet the standards, no amount of promotions or marketing can help the company to attain this required goal, even when the quality is amazing, companies have to do a lot of marketing campaigns to build positive brand equity.
