Why Develop Private Brands?
Private brands provide retailers some good benefits.
Control. A retailer will have a much greater degree of control over quality and marketing of private products because it develops them.
Profit margin. Private product brands tend to have a higher profit margin compared to name brands.
Image. You can create a unique image for your retail establishment with your private brands.
Customer loyalty. It's possible to improve customer loyalty because of the exclusivity of private brands. If you can get consumers hooked on your private brand, then they must go to your store to get it because it is the only place they can get it. Private label branding is one way to separate yourself from competitors.
