Brand recognition and loyalty are important benefits of branding for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, brands facilitate efficient shopping, decrease perceived risk, and encourage repeat purchases. For sellers, brands aid in product differentiation and acceptance, provide legal protection, assist in building loyalty, and allow for premium pricing and more effective promotion. However, some argue that excessive brand proliferation and image-focused marketing can have disadvantages for society.
