So to have an example, most of the people will ask for Intel Processor in their PC's then any other.because Intel has already created its brand image and quality of service then others. it has its brand equity . In lay man terms if we go on thinking about soaps , shampoos then there are leaders like HUL and P&G who has created their Brand Image in every segment of society.They have their huge way of product line for each segment of society ,which has helped them in each sector. For example :- it has Lux for Beauty and Lifebuoy for healthy segment. Because of all these they are the brand leaders in these sectors.

If we think of Mobile segment where Nokia has created its value of Brand image , it has started with its strong way of marketing through quality of products and after sales service. They have analysed the Indian Market and really worked very hard to get into that. Till now if any one buys mobile they think of Nokia even though so many brands are present in the same sector,So that kind of Brand image it has created for itself.

So,if we take the examples in each sector then there are lots of Companies and products which have really worked very hard with their marketing and Branding strategies to create a band Image.

To conclude there is always a requirement of Strong marketing and Promotional activities for a company to create a brand image in the market.
