Try going through it all again, maybe?

Then take a chill pill. Calling me that just because i'm not loyal to brands makes you sound ridiculous. Stop it.

You're not even reading the same posts that I'm writing, are you? I was discussing what brand loyalty was, after you said what it isn't.

But we've already decided you're thick, and Igor is never wrong.

Maybe. But i admitted i was wrong to that point, and now you're being the idiot. Maybe we both are.

The 'brand' is the product. The company creates the brand, the company owns the brand. The company is not intrinsically the brand, it's just an invention to make a product more marketable and recognisable.

You don't buy Proctor and Gamble washing up liquid, you buy Fairy, for example. Proctor and Gamble is the company that owns the Fairy brand. There is no Fairy Ltd. or Fairy plc. that sells Fairy washing up liquid. Furthermore, and in relation to the latter point in the last paragraph, you don't buy 'Washing Up Liquid', you buy Fairy, a particular brand of washing up liquid. This can become embedded in society so much that it becomes synonymous with the product's purpose, so you have hoovers (not vacuum cleaners), you may Google something on the net (not search for it), and so on.

Oh yeah, a mistake there on my part. But you're still wrong. I said i would buy a different product by a different company, so maybe i would buy Asda's own brand washing up liquid for example instead of Fairy. That's what i meant, and it is NOT brand loyalty.

You're addressing a point I didn't even make. I said that if you favoured one product and bought that frequently, obviously because you favoured it, that would be brand loyalty. If you bought Asda's brand because you preferred that, it'd be brand loyalty.

Since I'm not even remotely discussing your preferences here, only your logic, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that your logic is either very poorly explained or completely incorrect.

You're an idiot.

So everyone who has posted in this thread is now a 'mong'?
