A brand is so much more than just a word, image and a few taglines. A brand represents a company, its products, services, value, quality and the expectations we as consumers can be ready to receive should we purchase a product.
When we buy a ‘home brand’ product, we know that it will not be a premium product, but a product that will ‘get the job done’. On the other hand, when we buy a premium brand, we have expectations that what we purchased will make you feel premium, provide a seamless experience that is premium. Ducted gas heating is no different, with the premium brands in the market holding expectations of longevity, a quick heating system that is energy efficient and keeps your family warm throughout the winter months.
