Perceived value is a subjective evaluation. In addition, an affective attachment to a brand can influence cognitive evaluation. The essence of brand identification includes affective attachment with the brand, thus customers are more likely to evaluate the value of the brand in a favourable way if the customer has a strong brand identification. Furthermore, He et al. (2012) found that, although not dealing with brand identification, research shows that relationship quality and intangible assets such as reputation relates to perceived value. At the same time, brand identification involves a deep and meaningful relationship between consumer and brand as well as the fact that brand identification is to a great extent related to corporate reputation. Thus brand identification influences perceived value. However, it is important to note that perceived value affects both customer satisfaction and brand trust in a way that leads to brand loyalty.

Brand equity is related to customer satisfaction and brand loyalty (Nam, Ekinci, and Whyatt, 2011). Customer satisfaction is a mediating variable between brand equity and brand loyalty, while brand loyalty itself is the biased (non-random) behavioral response (purchase) expressed over time by some decision-making unit with respect to one or more particular brands out of a set of brands and is a function of psychological processes (Jacoby, 1971). Considering the importance of brand equity in companies’ efforts to develop positive customer perception and win the tight competition in their industry by achieving customer satisfaction and loyalty, this study aims to investigate
