Branding & mental availability

A brand’s mental availability refers to the probability that a buyer will notice, recognize and/or think of a brand in buying situations. It depends on the quality and quantity of memory structures related to the brand.

Higher mental availability means being easily noticed and/or thought of in many different buying situations. The easier the brand is to access in memory, in more buying situations, for more consumers, the higher the overall mental availability.
