Abstract

In an earlier paper Narayana and Markin suggested that the relationship between consumer behavior and product performance can be most effectively explained by classifying existing brands into awareness and unawareness sets. This paper is a sequal to the earlier study. By using the same methodology and concentrating primarily on shopping and specialty goods, the authors have concluded that the Narayana-Markin model is applicable and conceptually sound.
