Strategies for Combating Private Labels
• Do nothing– Wait for economy to improve– Retailers are sufficiently diffuse, their
power is low– In small categories with little potential
return, retailers not likely to invest in private label
– However, share loss may occur

Strategies for Combating Private Labels
• Reduce price gap– Lower costs– It is often not profitable for retailer to close price gap
(mfr brand loses high margin, store brand loses volume)
• Me too strategy– Fighting brands (Kodak Funtime Film)– Protects brand (+)– Cannibalization (-); Revenues do not cover product
introduction costs (e.g., advertising and slotting fees)

Private Label –7
Strategies for Combating Private Labels
• Make a private label – Can test formulations as a P.L.– Can increase price on premium brand w/P.L. entry– Can formulate to target competitor, not self– Can obtain cooperation on shelf positions (P.L. to
right hand side of competitor - as 90% right handed)– Key threat: retailer owns customer, threatens to drop
you without price concessions
