In the culturally distinct market of Uttarakhand, India, this research examines the relative effects of logical and emotional advertising appeals on customer brand image and trust. Using a stratified sample of 300 local customers and a quantitative methodology, the study analyses demographic variances using multiple linear regression, independent t-tests, and ANOVA. The results show that while rational appeals are crucial for building enduring, durable brand trust, emotional appeals greatly influence overall brand perception by utilising deeply ingrained Pahadi cultural identity. The study comes to the conclusion that a complex, hybrid marketing approach is necessary to successfully navigate this regional market, address the growing eco-consciousness in the area, and guarantee brand authenticity across high-involvement and low-involvement items.
