In general definition, brand image is image in customers’ minds about a product or a service, and different from brand identity, it is based on physical or visual components.

Emotional brand loyalty showed statistically significant differences between age and class parameters (p<0,05), whereas the differences were not statistically significant based on gender and family types (p>0,05). Correlation analysis results showed that there was not a statistically significant correlation between brand image perceiving and emotional brand loyalty (p>0,05).
