Leveraging Mental Availability for Brand Health Tracking

Incorporating mental availability into your brand health tracking is a game-changer, delving deeper than more traditional methods as it goes beyond physical availability.

Taking the mental aspect into consideration will reveal your brand's genuine standing in the consumer psyche at different moments in time where a product would be relevant to a customer's decision — the so-called Category Entry Point.

Out with the old, in with the new

  • For well-known brands, traditional tracking methods can't show much growth, and for new brands, it's hard to stand out from bigger competitors.

  • Common tracking metrics like TOM (Top-of-Mind awareness) are good for new brands, but not as useful for well-known ones unless they're entering entirely new markets.

Advantages of Brand Health Tracking

    Mental availability considers context like situational cues, associations, and environmental triggers — yielding deeper comprehension of a brand's role in consumers' lives.

  • Hero-Icon_Purchase-1

    Brands with high mental availability excel in capturing attention and driving sales, offering better predictive insights than traditional metrics.

KPIs to measure

  • Hero-Icon_Global

    Mental Market Share (MMS)

    It quantifies the average number of CEPs associated with a particular brand, based on the people who have MPen for that brand. The more robust and extensive network of associations is, higher the likelihood of the brand being recalled across various buying scenarios.
  • Hero-Icon_Awareness-1

    Mental Penetration (MPen)

    The percentage of category buyers who link a specific brand to at least one Category Entry Point (CEP). It's akin to brand awareness but offers a more impartial view, with less bias toward larger brands.
  • Hero-Icon_Intrinsic-motivation

    Share of Mind (SOM)

    It measures a brand's size in the minds of category buyers relative to all competitors and across all CEPs. This score adds up to 100% across all competitors and is highly correlated with actual market share.
  • Hero-Icon_Panel

    Network Size (NS)

    It is similar to MMS but is calculated exclusively based on individuals with MPen (brand knowers) for a specific brand.
