The [tag]Interbrand[/tag] model of brand strength is a useful framework to consider the performance of your own brand. Consider these seven points and you should get a better sense of the strength of your own brand, as well as some ideas on how to move forward.

Market: 10% of brand strength. Brands in markets where consumer preferences are more enduring would score higher.

Stability: 15% of brand strength. Long-established brands in any market would normally score higher, because of the depth of loyalty they command.

Leadership: 25% of brand strength. A market leader is more valuable: being a dominant force and having strong market share matters.

Profit trend: 10% of brand strength. The long-term profit trend of the brand is an important measure of its ability to remain contemporary and relevant to consumers.

Support: 10% of brand strength. Brands that receive consistent investment and focused support usually have a much stronger franchise, but the quality of this support is as important as the quantity.

Geographic spread: 25% of brand strength. Brands that have proven international acceptance and appeal are inherently stronger than regional brands or national brands, as they are less susceptible to competitive attack.

Protection: 5% of brand strength. Securing full protection for the brand under international trademark and copyright law is the final component of brand strength in the Interbrand model.
