Brand Equity is defined as value and strength of the Brand that decides its worth whereas Customer Equity is defined in terms of lifetime values of all customers.

Brand Equity and Customer Equity have two things in common-

  • Both stress on significance of customer loyalty to the brand.

  • Both stress upon the face that value is created by having as many customers as possible paying as high price as possible.
