• What the consumer is looking at when he sees a brand?
• What factors drive him to "trust" the brand?
• What is their perception and how do they think?
• Has their opinion of that brand changed over a period of time? Why?

The bottom line for measuring Brand Equity is the amount of Trust customers have on the Brand and the extent they would go financially to acquire the product.
