Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of services marketing mix elements on customer-based brand equity through empirical study of mobile telecommunication service recipients. It also aims to determine the influence of such elements on customer-based brand equity and to reveal which is the most influential. We employed a questionnaire-based survey consisting of 56 questions and distributed to 1,930 respondents in the three largest governorates in Jordan: Amman, Irbid, and Al-Zarqa. In total, 1,492 questionnaires were returned, corresponding to a response rate of 77%. In order to analyze the data obtained from questionnaires, quantitative methods were employed, and reveal that there is a significant effect of services marketing mix elements upon customer-based brand equity. The study suggests that customer-based brand equity is a valuable asset for any services sector, especially for marketing managers to assess the results of their efforts by getting feedback from customers to diagnose any problem that can appear in the provided service. In addition, customer-based brand equity provides a clear approach which can be employed by managers for the design and creation of branding strategy. This should enable managers to minimise problems that could arise from limited resources.

Brand equity has been criticized by some for an alleged lack of managerial relevance. This paper reports a study which operationalizes brand equity and empirically tests a conceptual model adapted from the work of Aaker (1991) and Keller (1993) considering the effect of brand attitude and brand image on brand equity. The results indicate that brand equity can be manipulated at the independent construct level by providing specific brand associations or signals to consumers and that these associat...

A service firm has no products, only interactive processes. Whereas the consumption of physical products can be described as “outcome consumption”, the consumption of services can be characterized as “process consumption”.

There should be thinking about what makes business different from others and how that fits into their busin...
