Abstract
In today’s markets, which are characterized with the strong competitive environment, successful customerretention is the ultimate target for all brands to survive. A strong Customer Based Brad Equity (CBBE) is animportant competitive enabler which helps brands to generate satısfactory returns on their marketing investmentand get them closer to their customer retention targets. However, this does not assure the unconditional retentionand loyalty of consumers since the relationship is subject to continuous interactions between the brand andconsumers which may eventually result in satisfactory as well as unsatisfactory customer experiences. This studycontributes to the marketing literature by conceptualizing the Customer Based Brand Tolerance (CBBT) constructand develop and validate a scale which measures the CBBT strength of brands in a retailing context. In line withthis target, the scale was developed and validated by following a three step procedure borrowed by the existingliterature. Results confirm the three sub-dimensions of CBBT scale as Performance, Price and CommunicationTolerance.
