The qualitative research method was employed in this study, and data collection process consisted of observation and in-depth interview documents that were organized and categorized. The results of the study found that Panama’s low-income consumer’s brand preferences were widely varied and brand loyalty behavior was influenced by consumers’ knowledge, perceptions and commitment towards a particular product and service provider.
