Consumer behavior theory and Information Processing Theory were used. My focus is to examine how gala brand name is popularized as generic product name for sausage roll. The study employed the survey method. A sample size of 400 respondents, mainly consumers of sausage roll in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria was used. The findings reveal that 89% of the respondents are of the opinion that Gala is a brand name that comes to mind when sausage roll is mentioned. Thus shows that there is a high level of consumer awareness of the brand name than the product’s name. They barely call sausage roll by it product name but rather call it Gala. Furthermore, 75% of the respondent strongly agree that frequent advert on media made consumers know about Gala which was a brand strategy deployed to influence the popularization of Gala brand name. Hence, a major factor in popularization of brand name is the use of marketing skills by Gala brand. Therefore, Gala popularized brand name has been converted to the sausage roll generic name. with the offer-said, thus study recommends that manufacturers of Gala brand should not relax on the popularization of Gala brand.
