At macro level, marketing performance appraisals focus on customers as a whole, on how they perceive the brand, what knowledge they have about it, the level of their satisfaction and how they respond to various marketing efforts (advertising, pricing strategies etc.).
It is widely known that the pricing strategy is one of the core elements of marketing. Dr. Philip Kotler, the father or modern marketing, considers it of the four Ps within the Marketing Mix.
In a previous post (“Marketing performance: measuring brand equity“) we have reviewed the concept of brand equity and the various methodologies suggested by practitioners and academics for measuring it. Today’s blog post aims to clarify several brand dimensions used in measuring performance in branding.
The consumer price index (CPI) measures the rate at which the prices of consumer goods and services are changing over time. It is a key statistic for purposes of economic and social policy-making, especially monetary policy and social policy, and has substantial and wide-ranging implications for governments, businesses, and workers as well as households.

Continuing the series of blog posts on marketing performance measurement, today’s post is reviewing brand metrics. As a sub-process of marketing, branding refers to the development and maintenance of a brand. A brand is a „promise”, as it represents all that exists in the consumer’s mind with reference to a particular product.
