at the early age of my career i used to buy the products which are not so popuar. actually i didnt buy the products which had a rich brand name because i was in hard up and couldnt spend more money to purchase products. but after setteling myself i start using the brand products like T-Shirts, Trousers, Jins, Shoes, Watches and many more. I also use the luxury product from a good brand. the products of good brands are expensive and not purchased by all. they are always unique in quality. they oviopusly have the product value ? which brand do you perefer most ? are you brand conscious ?

actually im not a brand conscious person..i buy things which are not popular..because as for my own view, it is not necessary to have branded things,,what's important is that the things you buy looks good on you and fit you well..and of course can be bought by the amount you have in your pocket..^^ practicality wise..^^

Well, I must admit that i used to be brand conscious before.. i tend to buy things that aren't that important.. my favorite brands were Armani Exchange, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Ninewest, Esprit, G.H Bass, Florsheim, Longchamp, Guy Laroche and Nike among others.. but when i moved out from my parents house, i've learned how to appreciate simpler things in life.. i've learned how to be practical and yes, a very wise shopper.. now, i'm buying/patronizing local brands such as Folded and Hung, Kamiseta, Bayo and Maldita to name some.. i even go to discount stores/bargain stores to look for best deals in town..

I am not a brand conscious person. But I certainly pay attention to the quality pf the products that I am buying.Thats why I buy my products,even dress material, generally from a reputed place,shop or supermarket.

I really like goods with good brands but actually a lot of goods circulating in the market are no less indeed in quality.it means in terms of the quality of any goods that are not much different and even have the same quality, only less because of the name of brand mark only.to realize about it, now I prefer to buy and consider goods that are not popular but have the same quality.

I would not say that I am loyal to brands.I don't stuck to a single brand I would try new brands and see if they are any good.

i'm only brand conscious when it comes to toiletries. i have very sensitive skin so it's got to be a trusted named product that i use for my skin. when it comes to clothes or accessories i'm not brand conscious anymore. used to be. however, i learned that it's very heartbreaking to give away branded things you're not using. sometimes you just have to part with them because it'll just get worn out in storage. sometimes, you want to buy something else but since you still have that branded item you can't. it seems they would outlive you on earth. this is not to hamper me from buying branded items since, sometimes, the other things being sold are just so ridiculous that you'd go for the branded ones.

Im not brand concious.Yes i do wear branded clothes but i dont have the thing that"this brand only".I choose my clothesline depending on the comfort and the way it suits me.I wear any kind of clothes-branded or non branded.But yes for somethings like watches i go only for branded considering its credibility and lasting service

I'm definitely brand conscious but I guess I should change my stance now considering we are in this credit crunch thing! Still, I like brands like Nike in terms of clothing. I may go for cheaper brands when it comes to household items. Andrew

When I was still in college I used to buy things that are not branded because of my limited allowance. After I graduated and had my first job, I started buying branded clothes because I have noticed that their quality is better than those not branded basing it from those who gave me branded gifts before since I was not buying them. Then I also realized that even if you pay more just to get them it is worth the pay because they most of the time protect their name. And before making any purchase I make sure that I check the item very well and that I like the item I am buying to avoid regretting in the end. And besides when your income goes up your likes changes and you also live by your means. If you can't afford an expensive branded item then look for items with lower price but not sacrificing the quality too much. I have always been a fan of Bench products and I find them more affordable than other brands. Also Pink Soda and Penshoppe. My husband since he earns more than me he likes Giordano, Florsheim, GBX, Merryl Shoes and others. He also buys items for me but I always tell him buy something cheaper because when I see items that for me are overpriced even if I want them I would rather look for cheaper items are are branded too but more affordable.

Hello! I would have to say, yes, I am brand concious, In my case it doesn't depend on the quality and price, if it's a product which has the best quality compared to others but I can't afford it, I don't buy it, If it's a bad quality product which I can afford, I don't buy it either, I only buy products which can be afforded and are of good quality! Take care!

I don't mostly care about brands, although, as my assistant pointed out when I was answering a similar question a few days ago here, I buy a specific brand of bras because I am allergic to the other kinds, as they put a chemical in their fabric I can't tolerate. That's the only brand conscious thing I buy except when I am boycotting a product for participating in child labor or some other evil, but I don't think that's the same thing a s brand consciousness, more like brand avoidance.

well as a student now, though i might be brand conscious on certain things, i am not always able to afford them. But overall, i'm not very brand conscious. In terms of clothes, i'm cool with any no brand tops that fit me just fine.

I am not really particular with the brand but I am very particular with the materials of the product. I am making sure that it is durable and reliable however, not all branded things are of high quality so we must not look at the brand alone but also of the quality.

I don't go for brands I go for what's good and comfortable to wear. Although, branded products have the long lasting quality but I don't find it practical in times like this. There are local brands that are quality wise and yet affordable.
