Furthermore, brand satisfaction and brand loyalty have a significant and positive effect on brand preference. However, brand satisfaction has an insignificant impact on brand loyalty. The results of Sobel test revealed that brand identity and personality positively affect brand preference through brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. Also, brand experience positively influences brand preference through brand satisfaction. However, brand experience has insignificant effects on brand preference through loyalty, and also brand personality, identity, and experience have insignificant effects on brand preference through brand satisfaction.
