For decades, brands have chased "brand love" and "brand loyalty" to gain a competitive edge. Modern research out of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute reveals a critical gap in this line of thinking; even if consumers are obsessed with your products and services, if they’re not shopping in your category, they’re not shopping for your brand.

quantilope's Mental Availability Playbook lays out how brands can shift their tracking approach to one that's been proven to correlate with actual sales market share. It starts with an understanding of category triggers: what's bringing consumers to shop in your category in the first place? These are Category Entry Points. 

Then, within a category, which brands do consumers have readily available in their minds? This is Mental Availability: a crucial component in how brands grow.
