Abstract
Marketers of goods and services usually carry out market research on consumer’s beliefs about attributes of competing brands in a product category. They mainly do the research to position the brand and to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the marketing program. Brand equity is very important to marketers as this facilitates in the effectiveness of brand extensions and brand introductions. This is because consumers who trust and display loyalty toward a brand are willing to try to adopt brand extensions.

Present research was conducted to measure customer based brand equity of FMCGs with emphasis on Soaps in Indian rural market. The customer based brand equity scale was developed based on the five underlying dimensions of brand experiences: brand awareness, brand recognition, brand trial, brand preference and brand loyalty.
