    Introduction

    In the classical literature of economics, labor, capital and land (raw materials) are the three main elements of production and the main sources of wealth. comes In the traditional methods of industrial accounting, to calculate the sales price, the cost of wages, raw materials and overhead are added together with a reasonable amount of profit, but none of these two models are able to explain how a Rolex watch with the same performance, quality and beauty is sold for three times the price of a Seiko watch? Modern marketing approaches explain this phenomenon with the identity that the brand name brings to the customer.

    The role of the brand name or trade title in influencing and staying in the consumer markets is quite clear and evident for the producers of goods and services. Economic and social experts believe that when a commercial product with its special name and brand in the consumer markets attracts the trust of buyers, it has actually caused the loyalty of consumers to continue buying that product. Therefore, trusting a brand name means loyalty to the produced product and is a suitable tool for continuing the demand for its purchase. On the other hand, when the consumers of a particular product trust its quality and type of supply and remain loyal to the brand name of that product, they guarantee the sales profit and wealth resulting from the production of that product for the manufacturing industries. Therefore, names and trademarks are trust builders that create wealth for their manufacturing industries.

    Statement of the problem

    Nowadays, the name and trademark are very important in consumer markets. They are among the most valuable intangible assets and are the link between the consumers of a company, the consumers also trust the brand name and become loyal to them. With the segmentation, complexity and fierce competition in the markets, the traditional manufacturers of brand names and logos have been forced to pay more attention to designing and maintaining long-term relationships with consumers.Therefore, they seek to use relational marketing (Sheth and Parvatyar [1], 1995; Rast, Zeitamel and Lemoman [2], 2004).  Therefore, the brand name acts as a mechanism that involves understanding the long-term relationship between the buyer and the seller (Davis, Oliver and Brody[3], 2000; Furnese[4], 1998; Rao and Ruckert, 1994).

    The current field study conducted using real consumers raises the question whether different consumers prefer different experiential attractions? And whether the types of experience and the relationship of experiences create trust and satisfaction with the brand name? In such a situation, brand experiences are embodied as feelings, emotions, cognitions, and behavioral reactions that are called by the stimuli associated with the brand and form part of the design and identity, packaging, communication, and environment of the brand. On the other hand, recent findings have shown that the image of the name and brand, along with the customer's understanding of its concept, is one of the key components affecting the customer's purchase decision, and focusing on the benefits of the product is the most important element in creating a successful image or brand. Service quality is also defined as the degree of differentiation between the customer's normal expectations of services and their perceptions of the performance of those services (Gronros [5], 1984). Therefore, companies can create satisfaction, trust, attachment and loyalty to the brand by examining the experiences of the brand and its communications and increasing the quality of the services provided. Attachment to the brand name includes thoughts and feelings about the brand name and the relationship between brands and the sample itself (Mikolaniser [6], 2007). Brand loyalty is the consumer's preference to buy a specific brand in a product class, and loyalty to the brand is determined by the attitudes and habits of the brand (Jacobi and Keynes, 1973). In the current research, we present the effects of service quality, communication and brand experience to create a long-term relationship between the brand and the consumer with loyalty, satisfaction and trust, and finally purchase attention.

    This research was conducted on 400 respondents. As a result of this study, experiences, service quality, trust and satisfaction with the brand name have a positive effect on loyalty to the brand name.

    Therefore, the main issue in this research is the lack of importance of the effects of service quality, communication and brand experience on brand loyalty and customer purchase considerations in Bank Mehr Ekhedat. Using the analytical model of the research, the researcher has investigated the effect of the quality of financial services, the way of establishing relationships with customers and the experience of the bank's name and brand on customer satisfaction and trust, and finally the attentions related to receiving financial services.

    1-3 The importance and necessity of conducting research

             Today, with the emergence of new banks and financial and credit institutions and diversity in the provision of financial products and services, the use of a good and effective brand name that can provide high-quality services and establish communication Effectively with customers and creating a positive experience, gaining the trust and satisfaction of customers can be considered as a key and influential factor in increasing the ability to provide financial services. Banks and financial and credit institutions always try to attract new customers by creating diversity in financial and credit products and services. But what has always been a concern for bank managers is how to maintain and maintain old customers and make them loyal to the bank by providing good financial services and paying attention to the financial services received, while attracting new customers.

    Therefore, today, competition to improve the quality of services is known as a key strategic issue for organizations that operate in the service sector such as banks. Organizations that achieve a higher level of service quality will have higher levels of customer satisfaction as a prelude to achieving sustainable competitive advantage. The banking system, which is one of the components of every country's economy in a market-based economy and has a heavy responsibility, is not exempt from this.

    To compete in today's turbulent environment, today's banks have to pay special attention to the quality of their services. This will lead to more customers, attracting new customers and improving financial performance and profitability
