the objectives as well as limitation of the study Furthermore, the significance of the research problem and thesis structure are also outlined 1.1 Research background Meeting human’s the various complicated demands is an extremely harsh problem for a firm, especially a new firm which has just penetrated in a market Moreover, to survive in the high competitive globalized and integrated environment in the recent years, the firm must be hardworking not only for producing high quality products, but also for understanding its consumer’s all requirements and desires In particular, it is critical for the survival of a firm to retain its current customers and to make them loyal to the brand (Mellens, Dekimpe, Steenkamp, 1996) For these reasons, the success of a firm depends largely on its capability to attract customers towards its brands and maintain them loyal Aaker (1996) argue that if we can maintain consumer loyal with our brand, we have many benefits which are come from reducing the marketing cost, trade leverage, attracting new consumers as well as having time to respond to competitive threats Therefore, it is necessary to study Brand Loyalty and explore the factors affected on it, then we have a suitable branding strategy In fact, Vietnam is a dynamic and developing economy with higher and higher economic growth rate year by year, and it is industrialized and modernized towards an integration into global economy This means consumption demand about technology and high-technology product is dramatically being increased, especially with the laptop product – a product has various functions can be used for various working goals Therefore, the imported laptop which is estimated will be increased significantly in the future That also means the competition is quite fierce in this field; and this can be proved through the appearance of most prestigious laptop brands around the world in Vietnam Furthermore, Hochiminh city is the best dynamic area in Vietnam It is known as the central economic of Vietnam with the highest economic growth rate in both commercial industry and agriculture The rapid growth in economic together with the particular advantage conditions, Hochiminh city is a place that concentrates the largest population in nationwide So, Hochiminh city is considered a place that has the best numerous laptop user in Vietnam 1.2 Problem statement Customer loyalty plays more and more important role in business field This matter attracts not only businessman but also researcher Previous research suggest that loyal customers spend more than non-loyal customers, act as advocates for a brand by engaging in positive word of mouth, and are therefore “at the heart of a company’s most valuable customer group” (Zeithaml et al., 1996) Besides, it can cost as much as six times more to win a new customer than it does keep an existing one (Rosenberg et al., 1983: 45) Hence, the increase and retention of loyal customer become a key factor for the long-term success of the companies However, how to maintain and increase loyal consumer to a brand or what factors affect on Brand Loyalty, and what influence level of the factors on Brand Loyalty are an outstanding problem Another problem is that most of the brand loyalty models are conceptualized by researchers and validate in the developed countries This poses the question of whether or not those models will work well in a developing country as Vietnam 1.3 Research questions and objectives To solve the problems defined above, this research aims at answering the following question: ► What are the key determinants affect on Brand Loyalty? By evaluating the influence level of the factors on Brand Loyalty, the importance of increasing loyal customer shall be highlighted to eventually help the managers identify the right direction of their investment and keep their customers under a tough competitive environment 39 communication strategies will concentrate on light weight, beautiful colors and nice design 5.4.3 Perceived Quality To stress on the factor of the Perceived Quality brought to consumers, laptop distributors should build up a good warranty policy in accompany with warrantors’ polite attitudes and behaviors Besides, brand manager should build up a marketing strategy focuses on the laptop’s quality through creating a link between laptop and quality factor such as a public test about the laptop battery’s durability or the search of technology iformation in student test 5.4.4 Self-expressive value Brand managers should take their interest in the factor of Self-expressive value, and building consumers’ brand loyalty strategy Besides, in order to meet consumers’ requirements about Self-expressive value, the brand managers should consider the following:  Building suitable and specific self-expressive values are another area that brand managers should focus Brand managers can build a successful self-expression though the effective use of brand personality which can help consumers enhance their self-expression Furthermore, the analysis result from compared between male and female in self-expression: male had an extroversive expression tendency and female had an introversive expression tendency will help the brand managers to have a view in self-expression tendency between men and women in order to have a proper actions in building a suitable expression strategy to their target consumers  Considering increasing the psychological factor and giving selfexpressive values to consumers is necessary to put into the expression strategy All of the above suggestions should be taken into action frequently and strictly to improve consumers’ brand loyalty In addition, another recommendation is that the 40 Brand Loyalty should be measured and reviewed on a regular basis for continuous improvement To measure consumer’s loyalty, a report for each buying time of consumer should be done Besides, the researcher also suggests that laptop brands should be measured by the percentage of new consumers introduced by their friends, colleges, and so on 5.5 Further Research The research makes an important linkage between the concept of the effective factors and the Brand Loyalty However, it has some limitations Firstly, the research is only studied one product which is the laptop so it limits itself on the further implication to propose the measurement scale of this study on Brand Loyalty for other categories in general However, this limitation can be a foundation for leading to the future research about the affected elements and its affected level on brand loyalty for other products Secondly, the target object of this study is the laptop using consumers Consequently, it has not yet mentioned the perception of potential customers as well as the reason why consumers change into other brands Furthermore, due to the limitation of time and capacity, the research is only executed in Ho Chi Minh area and sample is selected randomly in the universities Thus, the data can not be illustrated entirely the current situation about the relationship between affected factors such as Self-expressive value, Distinctiveness, Perceived Quality, Perceived Price and Brand Loyalty Finally, this research is only considered four factors, including Self-expressive value, Distinctiveness, Perceived Price, and Perceived Quality But in fact, there are many other factors affecting on brand loyalty such as brand awareness, advertising, promotion, distribution channel system, and so on Therefore, any replacement of the other factors also will affect more or less the survey findings and the researcher’s conclusions 41 REFERENCES Aaker, D A (1991), Managing Brand Equity, The Free Press, New York Aaker, D A (1996), Building strong brands, The Free Press, New
