Is Nestlé a Lady? Brand Name Gender and Loyalty Attitudes
Feminine brand name gender increases perceived warmth, which increases loyalty attitudes and choice. Longer names ending in vowels (Burberry) sound more feminine/warmer than shorter names ending in consonants (Ford). Using multiple methods, with hypothetical and real brands, we show a feminine brand name advantage. Typically male-used products are an exception.
