Abstract

The article explores how brand image influences consumers' purchase intention towards cafes in Machala, an Ecuadorian city with a constantly growing and competitive market. Through the PLS-SEM statistical model, five key variables are examined: brand image, trust, perceived quality, customer satisfaction, and purchase intention. The results reveal significant relationships between these variables, highlighting that perceived quality and trust directly influence purchase intention. Likewise, it is identified that a strong brand image contributes to greater customer satisfaction, which in turn positively impacts the purchase intention. This study highlights the importance of designing effective strategies aimed at improving the perception of quality, strengthening brand trust, and fostering consumer loyalty. Finally, it is concluded that these actions can translate into greater customer loyalty and the long-term sustainability of the business.
