Abstract
The aim of this article is to understand the impact of a brand name substitution on the evaluation and purchase intention of the product. To achieve this, we present various types of brand name substitutions. Then, drawing on work relating to brand extension and co-branding, we propose variables that are likely to explain the evolution of the evaluation and purchase intention of the product whose brand name has changed. The empirical study demonstrates that five variables influence the evolution of the evaluation and purchase intention of the product under a different brand name: (1) the similarity between the substitution brand and the initial brand, (2) the fit between the substitution brand and the product, (3) the difference in awareness of the two brands, (4) the difference in image of the two brands and (5) consumer attachment to the initial brand.
