SSB 6/12/22: Private brand is having a moment

Private brand is having a moment

Early in the COVID-19 crisis, many consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) brands disappeared from store shelves due to panic buying and pantry loading. Some shoppers, not finding their preferred brands, instead bought private-label goods—and have continued to do so.

5 Private Branding Examples
1. Kirkland Signature
2. Trader Joe’s
3. Morphe
4. AmazonBasics
5. Stone & Beam

Choose a niche
Each private label brand chose a specific niche to excel in. Amazon Basics offers the cheapest goods around while Kirkland offers high-quality generics. Trader Joe’s cornered the cheap organic grocery market before consumers even knew they wanted that. In fact, having a niche is so important that Amazon diversified its private label offerings. Amazon Basics could have sold Stone & Beam products, after all, but it made more sense to spin that off since the consumers were two separate markets.

Develop a distinct brand identity

Brand identity is very important for private labels given that part of the reason a private-label brand is cheaper is usually that the store isn’t spending money on advertising them. (When was the last time you saw a Kirkland paper towels commercial?) Instead, the brand relies on the reputation of their identity to sell their items.
