Brand perception is the way consumers view a company, its products, and its reputation. It is shaped by direct experiences, marketing efforts, online reviews, and word-of-mouth. Positive brand perception leads to higher customer trust, loyalty, and sales growth, while negative perception can deter potential buyers. Businesses use CRMs to monitor brand sentiment by analyzing customer feedback, tracking online reviews, and measuring engagement. Brand perception is influenced by consistency in messaging, quality customer service, and social responsibility efforts.
