SUMMARY The symbolic meaning of brands of trainers is explored using a free‐response stimulus‐bound methodology. Gender differences in the meaning of brands are related to thresholds of elaborative processing of advertising messages. Age differences are related to transformational aspects of advertising for fashion products. The implications for meaning research and strategic brand concept‐image management are discussed.
