Results indicated that the respondents are not concerned about brands, but are instead price-conscious and placed more importance on the tangible attributes ofthe wooden household furniture items. Brand familiarity among the respondents was low. This paper discusses how the wooden household furniture manufacturers can brand their product in an effective way.
