When I am going to buy a product, the brand is not the most important consideration. The main things are the quality and price of the product. However, sometimes the brand really influences quality because a brand name gives you more confidence about a product. The brand has developed a reputation that they need to keep.
Whenever you are going to buy something, the first thing to do is to determine what you’re looking for. You should analyze the characteristics of the product, the average cost, and what you need it for. Your analysis will tell you approximately how much you will need to spend and what levels of quality are available. You need to consider how important the product is to you. The idea of what brand to buy and how much to spend can be different for different products, for example an inexpensive product such as toothpaste as opposed to an expensive investment like a car. With toothpaste you may look for an average brand that is offering you quality and save some money. When you buy a car you really need to think about quality and try to get the best that you can get. A car is something that you will use for a very long time and the investment is much greater.
Brand name products may reflect something about the person using them, for example, if the person has money, if they like to show off, or just look for good stuff. It all depends on why they use a brand name product and if they had to make a sacrifice to have it. Brands have a lot to do with cultural history as well as how much money a person has.

Good analysis here. I've always thought that you get what you pay for; so, it's worth investing in good products when important. But, I also think that so many people consider the brand name to be more important than anything, which is not good.
