Abstract
This study deals with consumer behavior with regard to a Local Brand. There are three roles in creating a brand: (1) the brand effect makes its product distinct from others; (2) it has an identification effect; and (3) it offers a new choice to consumers. This study pays attention to the third. The reason is, the suggestion of a new choice gives consumers a chance to choose a new lifestyle.
