We do trust certain brands and for many different reasons. Maybe it’s the hype of the most popular brands or maybe it’s personal experience. But many of us will prefer one brand over others. Just try to check yourself when buying groceries and most often, you’d be picking one brand over the rest even if the shelves are saturated with many brands.
But how far will you go over brand loyalty? For example, I’ve always been a Toyota fan. My first car was a Toyota and what a soldier that car was. Never really gave me crap until I had to sell it. Up to this day, I regret selling that car due to its dependability.
I switched to another car badge and I’d have to say, it’s making me miss that old Toyota. I wanted to get another Toyota for my next car but the massive recall and safety and dependability issues that not plague Toyota has forced me to reconsider.
I’ve also been an ASUS fan as far as laptops and computer parts go. I’ve had several of them for the past years and they’ve proven to be quality pieces of electronics. When some of them do crap out, their excellent warranty system and after sales support (at least in my area) has earned my confidence. However, I’ve had to return this newly bought laptop two times already and I’m contemplating sending it back a third time for another issue.
If you suddenly begin to feel that the brand you’ve trusted for so long has started to go awry, what do you do? Do you still stick with the brand or do you start looking for an alternative?
