Also we did a secondary research by visiting the companies' websites, Facebook pages, and YouTube ads in order to have a better understanding of brands' equity value.

Bulgari is associated with Italy, beauty, chic and colors. Chopard is classic and watches.
They both satisfy the consumers need for prestige, hedonic and materialistic values.

It has a creative, colorful and chic styles and designs. Also the products are market as luxury, therefore the prices are accordingly. The interaction with consumers is very efficient. Chopard on the other hand is perceived as offering high quality, designs including gem stones, classic, fancy style. The brands are perceived as an expensive and luxury one, therefore they are in the high price segment.
