Brand Attachment

            We have all heard about brand loyalty through many years of our college lives and in pretty much every marketing class. Put simply, brand loyalty is when you consistently buy one specific brand no matter what the condition or location where you need to buy it. Now, taking it one step further, not many people know about the concept of brand attachment. I know I didn’t.

            This new concept is very interesting to me. I am still trying to decide if I am sold on the idea of it or not. Brand Attachment is defined as “the emotional connection between humans and brands.” This means that they become not just loyal, but actually attached to the brand. This often happens when companies like Ben & Jerry’s come up with unique flavors and names that can make a deeper connection with consumers. The three elements that were highlighted specifically were affection, connection, and passion. These elements put together bring the audience to a deeper connection with the brand itself and not just compared to the other brands in its industry.

            Now, do you agree that this is possible? I am not fully convinced but I believe I do have a deeper connection with specific brands in different industries because of their advertisements or what their company stands for. If it is actually an attachment I am still deciding and doing more research but for now I think it is more and more convincing and a very interesting concept.
