Dear Nasir,

Please accept my compliments for writing a very impressive answer. The relevance of Brand Equity becomes extremely critical at the time of acquisition of the brand when a consultant is asked to value the brand. 

Typically Brand equity is a sum of Market share, Growth in Market share, Brand Revenue, Brand premium after offsetting the inflation, Brand position in Price index, how compromises or sacrifices the consumer is capable of while looking for buying the brand or services, and it mind space in the mind of consumer. regards, Preetam
