Design/Methodology/Approach: Brand loyalty refers to the tendency of consumers to consistently purchase products or services from a particular brand over time, rather than switching to competitors. This loyalty can stem from a variety of factors, including positive past experiences, satisfaction with product quality, emotional attachment, or perceived value.
