Abstract

Brand extension strategies seek to increase revenues by prompting consumer purchases across product categories. Using an existed well-known brand name to launch new lines or categories of products reduces the need to create awareness and facilitates marketing communications (Aaker & Keller, 1990). Brand extension has been one of the commonly used strategies to launch new products for decades (Aaker, 1996).
