Coffee provides a concrete way to examine the distinction. Ask consumers what names come to mind when they think of coffee. Then give them a buying occasion, such as choosing beans for a weekend brew or finding something quick to prepare before work. Ask what each brand promises in that setting. The first question tests availability in memory. The second tests whether the buyer has a clear reason to pick it. 2026 edition · WCRC methodology
