The purpose of this work is to elucidate how brand association, brand image and brand personality are related, and explores the internal composition of this relationship. Samples were collected using the questionnaire, which had been assessed the quality of our measurement efforts by investigating reliability and validity. Functional image is found to be affected mainly by attribution and benefit association, whereas symbolic image is influenced by attribution association. However, experiential image is found to be affected mainly by attitude association. Furthermore, excitement and sincerity of brand personality found to be affected mainly by experiential image, whereas competence personality is influenced by functional image. Finally, exactly peacefulness and sophistication of brand personality are affected by symbolic image. For future research, other external cues of brand may influence brand personality with extrinsic information should be discussed. In practice, retail managers can hone the relevant cues and optimize investments to raise brand association dimensions. Finally, this study provides a new shape of the ”structural” relationships among three brand association dimensions, three brand images and five types of brand personality.
