- "Brand elements" are components that identify and differentiate brands.
- Brand elements include name, logo, color schemes that create a recognizable image.
- Brand elements help a product stand out and develop a brand identity, but they are not the brand strategy itself.
- A product is anything offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption to satisfy a need or want.
- Brands have dimensions that differentiate them from other products.
