The results show that: 1) product quality has a direct positive and significant effect on brand trust & purchase decisions 2) brand image has a direct positive and significant effect on brand trust & purchase decisions 3) brand trust has a direct positive and significant effect on purchase decisions 4) product quality has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions through brand trust. 5) brand image has a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions through brand trust.
