Private label products are those manufactured by one company for sale under another company's brand.  Examples of private label brands  would be well known retailers who sell their own branded products instead of, or in addition to, those of well known brands. 

Private label branding has several important advantages for businesses.

 

HIGHER PROFIT MARGINS

Private label brands typically have higher profit margins than their national brand competitors and with a two great reasons to consider. First - Customers do not have to pay for huge marketing campaigns that they would with national brands. Second - Local products that come from local producers have  superior logistics capabilities.


CREATING LOYALTY

Private label brands are one way to stand out from the competition. By creating a distinct logo and tagline businesses can connect directly with the contractor / customers to help create a loyal following. Contractors / customers recognize the benefits of private label products. One  advantage for store brand loyalty can be during economic downturns. The private labeled product's lower prices becomes vital as contractors / customers turn to money-saving strategies. On the other hand, contractors / consumers sometimes have an aversion to supporting big brand names and often search for the smaller companies that provide quality products. Private labeling fills this role.


EXCLUSIVITY

One of the greatest advantages of private labeling products are the exclusive right to sell those products. Once a private brand is established, the business becomes the exclusive source for the private labeled product  This contributes to the ability to charge higher prices, attract more contractors to sell via exclusive accounts or even wholesale opportunities.

 

CONTROL

Going with a Private Label manufacturer gives businesses control over their own marketing, ability to set pricing,  when to run sales, and distribution.  Also, if the business discovers that the consumer is not responding to the product label as anticipated - the private label brand can be changed.
