consumers and cannot be easily replicated. It embodies brand promise, the unique
selling proposition and the relevance the brand has in the consumer’s life.

product/service. It is a promise of value that the
brand will deliver to the consumers. The value
proposition often embodies a unique selling
proposition that can be emotional or rational
benefits or even a combination of both.
