Marka denkliği kavramının anlamı, işletmenin farklı disiplinlerinin farklı bakış açılarıyla tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmada, Aaker (1991) tarafından belirlenmiş olan marka denkliği boyutlarından, marka farkındalığı, marka çağrışımı, algılanan kalite ile eşsizlik ihtiyacı değişkenlerinden oluşan modelle kadın tüketicilerin markalı hazır giyim ürünlerine yönelik algıladıkları marka denkliğine etkisi olan faktörler belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla, Mersin il merkezinde faaliyet gösteren Forum Alışveriş Merkezinde, kolayda örnekleme yoluyla seçilen 400 kadın tüketiciyle yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak anketler uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, kadın tüketicilerin markalı hazır giyim ürünlerine yönelik algılanan marka denkliğini etkileyen unsurların belirlenmesi ile pazarlama literatürüne ve hazır giyim sektöründe çalışan işletmelere önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir
