Halo Effect

Definition

In brand marketing, the halo effect is a phenomenon which occurs when the perceived positive features of a particular product extend across a broader line of related products with the same brand name.

A notable example is the manner in which the popularity of Apple’s iPod generated enthusiasm for the corporation’s other products.[1][2]
