Brand Attributes
, are typically ascribed to products or services,
rather than brands, and are the features that define or describe the product or service.
Attributes can be split into product related attributes and non-product related
attributes according to Keller.
Product Attributes
are the "product's physical composition or a service's requirements" (Keller, 1993, p.4).
Non-Product Related Attributes
are aspects that are external to the
product itself but are associated with the purchase or consumption of the product or
service.
Keller (1993) suggests that there are four primary non-product related
attributes:
• "1) price information
• 2) packaging or product appearance information
• 3) user imagery (i.e., what type of person uses the product or service) and
• 4) usage imagery (i.e., where and in what types of situations the product or
service is used)" (Keller, 1993, p.4).

"any well-known persona
who is the subject of marketing
communication efforts" Thomson (2006)
