This very specific part has critically evaluated the importance of brand names in order to achieve the expected target customers in the market of UK. By analyzing the opinion of numerous research scholars, the study has focused to make critical overview on how the brand creates its name and identify by follow significant strategies and policies. Several major impacts of brand names in influencing consumers purchasing behaviour could have been discussed in an argumentative way.
2.1 Critical evaluation about brand names brand image and brand identity:
Sasmita and Mohd Suki (2015) stated that the two overarching terms brand names and brand identity are inseparably related to each other. Brand image is how the customers perceive about the product. Customers perceive an image about the brand after purchasing, using and experiencing the products. Kang, Tang and Fiore (2014) stated that if the customers are satisfied in using the brand and products and give positive feedback to the organization the entire image of brand creates a positive impact on the environment of market.
On the other hand, if the organization can make positive brand image in the market it can automatically increase brand identity. As per the opinion of Dehghani and Tumer (2015), it has been however observed that brand name is the amalgamation of those two overarching terms such as brand image and brand identity. In order to gain reliability of brands and its products among the target customers the organization would have to focus on creating effective brand awareness. Especially, in case of restaurant industry the business experts tend to make effective marketing and promotional activities for drawing the attention of people from various geographical backgrounds as well as attitudes. Social media as well as traditional media should be used to introduce their brands in the doorstep of target customers.
2.2 Impact of brand names in influencing consumers purchasing behaviour
Godey et al. (2016) opined that brand plays a crucial role in order to boost up the company of any country. Brand is one of the most significant tools of changing consumers’ purchasing behaviour. While starting a new product in the market business experts try to introduce that brand in different geographical boundaries to grab customers’ attention. Wang and Tsai (2014) opined that as a result, the business experts have to make attractive promotional strategies and policies by using the popularity of media. Automatically, the customers get to know the product components, their positive and negative aspects along with customers’ review.
2.3. Necessary factors of creating effective brand names
Torlak (2014) stated that the most effective factors that should be taken into consideration in creating brand names include providing good quality of services, maintaining delicious food products and promoting the products to reach customers’ doorstep. Hudson et al. (2016) opined that in providing quality products and services, the business experts can easily grab the attention customers.
Automatically a brand image is created in word of mouth. In addition, along with providing effective products as well as services the business experts have to maintain an effective infrastructure of the organization in order to grab the attention of customers. Lombart and Louis (2014) opined that infrastructure is one of the most significant resources that every organization has to make for attractive the customers. Especially in the restaurant industry, people have to be very much cautious about the outlook of the restaurant in order to make a brand identity. While creating brand image the business experts have to create brand identity as well.
Moreover, effective promotional strategy and policy is highly significant in order to place the brand beyond going regional market. Öberseder (2014) opined that in quest of communicating with the customers, the business experts would have to choose both traditional media as well as social media tools. As a result, the customers would be able to reach the target customers of different age group, from young generation to middle ages. As a result, the company can automatically gain brand identity and brand image.
2.4 Literature gap:
However, this specific study has focused to make detailed overview on how several important factors can create brand names. Wallace, Buil and de Chernatony (2014) opined that the purpose of a business organization is to expand their entire business wings in the international market. While evaluating the factors of brand awareness and identity the study has faced major limitations as well. The study by incorporating different opinions of eminent scholars could have discussed the impact of brand awareness in consumers’ buying behaviour. In addition, the study could have focused to discuss several consumers’ behaviour theory with the help of which marketing executive can a notion on how to implement effective strategy of creating brand awareness in the market.
2.5 Summary:
After evaluating the entire literature review chapter it can be summarized that customers perceive an image about the brand after purchasing, using and experiencing the products. If the customers are satisfied in using the brand and products and give positive feedback to the organization the entire image of brand creates a positive impact on the environment of market. Brand plays a crucial role in order to boost up the company of any country. Brand is one of the most significant tools of changing consumers’ purchasing behaviour (Plewa et al. 2014). In providing quality products and services, the business experts can easily grab the attention customers. Especially in the restaurant industry, people have to be very much cautious about the outlook of the restaurant in order to make a brand identity.
3. Methodology:
Research methodology is one of the most significant chapters, which help in collecting appropriate data and information from different valid and reliable resources. Exploration factors to create brand names in restaurant industry are the primary concern of this very specific study. With the help of using appropriate research methodologies, this specific chapter introduces proper research designs, sampling techniques and data collection procedure. Different methods of data analysis will also be specified in this very specific study. At the end, an estimated time-frame will be provided by mentioning the entire plan of research.
3.1 Research design:
Research design is one of the most significant tools where the researcher selects appropriate philosophy of research, approach and deigns in order to complete the entire study successfully (Schivinski and Dabrowski 2015). Research philosophy is one of the most effective approaches with the help of the researcher has to evaluate the collected data and information through different philosophical approaches. Research philosophy is of three major types, which include positivism research philosophy, interpretivism research philosophy and realism research philosophy. Positivism research philosophy enables the researcher to have in-depth and keen observation about identified research issue.
As per the point of views of numerous positivists, an individual can repeat the process of observation to get detailed analysis about the research issue. Interpretivism research philosophy enables the researcher in interpreting the issue from different perspectives (De Vries and Carlson 2014). In interpretivism research philosophy, there is a scope of data manipulation at the time of data interpretation. Realism research philosophy is the combination of both positivism research and realism research. However, in this study the researcher would like to use positivism research philosophy in order to gather data after making in-depth and keen observation about the identified research issue and evaluate its essence from numerous points of views.
Positivism research philosophy is not very cost effective as well. With the help of an effective deductive approach, the researcher would like to gather and evaluate identified information based on the existing theories discussed in the previous part of literature review (Cantallops and Salvi 2014). With the help of deductive research approach, the researcher would like to conduct case studies, which is based on House of Tides. Descriptive research deign is the systematic method of designing the collected data in a co-ordinated way to get a proper result. In this study descriptive research design is used for explaining the collected information from numerous point of views (Dennis et al. 2014). In descriptive research design method, the researcher does not have to manipulate and interpret data and information as per their own form of interpretation method.
3.2 Sampling technique:
Sampling enables to collect data and information amidst immense population. Sampling technique is of two types that include probability sampling technique and non-probability sampling technique (Farooq et al. 2014). Probability sampling technique enables the researcher in collecting data from random resources. On the other hand, non-probability sampling chooses specific number of people in order to get effective feedback regarding the research issue. In this study, the researcher would like to use non-probability sampling technique. Non-probability sampling technique is very much effective in involving those participants who are directly associated with the research issue (Ioan?s and Stoica 2014). In this study, the researcher would like to choose 100 sample size for evaluating data and information regarding the research issue.
3.3 Data collection:
Data collection is the method of gathering effective information from different resources. Data collection method is of two major types. Primary source of data collection and secondary source of data collection are the two different techniques (Tingchi Liu et al. 2014). With the help of primary source of data collection procedure the researcher would like to directly communicate with the participants by choosing survey or interview method. On the other hand, with the help of secondary source of data collection method the researcher can make an effective critical evaluation about the research issue. For this very specific study, 100 customers will be chosen from House of Tides in order to know whether they get influence in brand names or not. In addition, total 3 supervisors of House of Tides will be chosen to know the factors on how to create brand names and what is the advantages of having proper brand names and identity.
3.4 Data analysis:
Data analysis is the systematic method of analyzing and evaluating collected responses by using several data analysis tools. Data analysis helps the researcher in using appropriate tools for completing the research (Huang et al. 2014). For this very specific study, the researcher would like to choose statistical tool of central tendency method in liker chart. On the other hand, interview will be conducted in semi-structured format because of which the researcher would like to make instant questions to the participants.
3.5 Ethical consideration:
Ethical consideration believes that the study would like to follow all the necessary ethics, believes and values at the time of gathering important data and information. In order to get effective data and information from numerous points of views the researcher should never force the participants in providing data and information (Fernqvist and Ekelund 2014). In addition, while collecting data the researcher should strictly follow data protection act. Data protection act enables to maintain data security at the workplace. In addition, the researcher should implement anti-discrimination act while collecting data. With the help of anti-discrimination act, people belonging to various geographical backgrounds and attitudes can get equal respect and dignity. With the implementation of gender equality act both male and female employees should get equal respect and dignity.
3.7 Summary:
Research methodology is one of the most significant chapters, which help in collecting appropriate data and information from different valid and reliable resources. Exploration factors to create brand names in restaurant industry are the primary concern of this very specific study. Research philosophy is one of the most effective approaches with the help of the researcher has to evaluate the collected data and information through different philosophical approaches. Interpretivism research philosophy enables the researcher in interpreting the issue from different perspectives. With the help of an effective deductive approach, the researcher would like to gather and evaluate identified information based on the existing theories discussed in the previous part of literature review.
4. Expected Outcome:
After evaluating the entire study, the expected outcome is considered as positive as the research procedure is expected to be conducted systematically. Research methodologies and tools will be properly used in order to collect effective data and information from various reliable resources. At the same time, the study may have to face several challenges in completing the study due to some of the most effective limitations. The study would like to concentrate on primary data collection method only. The researcher should focus on secondary source of data collection technique as well in order to involve the opinion of various eminent scholars.
