Whether you realize it or not, most of the purchases you make are likely the result of good branding. Take those adhesive bandages in your bathroom cabinet: did you buy the generic brand or the trademarked brand?

A generic store brand may offer a nearly identical product, but there’s just something about the branded product that’s more appealing.
