Brand recognition

Brand salience

The share of buying situations in which a brand gets thought of at all.

Salience widens when a brand attaches itself to more of the moments that trigger its category: the morning routine, the quarterly review, the gift search. Each new buying situation the brand gets linked to is another door into memory. Brands lose less often to rivals than to simply going unthought of.
