Private label sales offers manufacturers a new sales opportunities
Private label sales of products grew on average 35% in Europe in 2016. What's stopping you from having your product private labelled?
A strong trend in consumer goods has also become a trend in business to business categories. Technically savvy engineers and purchasing managers are becoming more adept at searching for products by product specifications, features, benefits and application. At the same time, manufacturers - looking to escape the trap of commoditization - are becoming more and more niche and specialized. The intersection of these trends results in a higher level of private label sales.
What are private label sales?
Private labeling is a practice when businesses make products for other businesses under their brand names. This is often done when the selling companies' brand name is stronger than the manufacturing companies' brand name and the selling company markets and sells to the manufacturing company's target audience.
Niche products + Niche marketing = Private label sales success
As purchasers and engineers become more specific in their demands and requirements and manufacturers become more niche in their product offering, this creates niche markets. Now that Google, Bing and Baidu have made it so much easier to find these specific niches of both products and customers - selling companies in these markets are reaping the benefits of marketing and selling these products under their own brand name.
