This paper tests hypotheses about why measured “brand loyalty” varies over product classes. Factor analysis is used to solve certain difficulties in the empirical testing. Brand switching in a product class appears to be associated with price activity, distribution, characteristics of the supply structure, and the importance of the product in the consumer's consumption patterns.
