The study investigated the potential effects of brand equity drivers (i.e., distribution intensity, advertising, monetary promotion) on the dimensions of customer-based brand equity. In addition, the research investigates the inter-relationships among the dimensions of brand equity. The study was built on data derived from 497 respondents. The results indicate that the proposed model reflects perfect fit to the data. The most of the hypothesized influences were significant and took the expected directions. The results would lead to suggest that brand awareness is the starting point to constitute the customer-based brand equity. Discussion and implications are provided.

The questionnaire response rate is approximately 83%. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the proposed relationships, and the model`s fit as well. Significance of all relationships was verified, and the proposed model fits the data. Implications, limitations, and further research are provided.
