Most Consumer Electronics Buyers Consider Only One Brand

The majority of consumer electronics (CE) buyers, 71%, only consider one brand when shopping, according to new consumer research from Parks Associates. In some categories the numbers are even more overwhelmingly in favor of consumers only considering a single brand. For tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles 75%-80% of device buyers do not consider other brands when shopping, according to the research.

"Building brand mindshare early is critical so that consumers associate your brand with a category of products," said Parks Associates Research Director Barbara Kraus in a press release. "Consumers generally begin the purchase process with preconceived notions that have an enormous impact on the final purchase decision. CE manufacturers need to establish their brand early with an emerging product category so that consumers equate a product with that brand when they plan to make a purchase."
