It creates an association between, the potential buyer’s ideals and the particular make of a product. Such as “green companies” use the green color to associate with the color of the environment.
The Confusion
The terms marketing, advertising and branding brings the confusion regarding the best word among the three to adopt as a result of their inter-connectivity and end result. For example, advertising may enhance potential buyers’ awareness of the particular brand while loyalty to a brand justifies the cost of advertising spent on it.  Likewise, advertising and branding are single components of the marketing process, while all three components work as a cohesive unit toward increasing sales and enhance the company’s reputation.
