ALL THINGS PRIVATE LABEL #PLMA2023 Private Label products have come such a long way in a relatively short period of time. And for retailers, they provide brand loyalty, higher unit shares, greater cost savings for their shoppers, and increased profit margins. With the lingering effects of inflation still hitting households and supply chain shortages, the value private label brands offer will only continue to drive sales. In the first half of 2023:  > Store brand dollar sales across all US retail outlets increased 8.2% vs. YAG > Unit sales were down 0.5%, while national brands fell 3.4% > Store brand dollar share rose a record 18.8% Looking to expand your private label brands?

If you’ve been following for some time you’ll already know Tannochside’s affinity for gift packaging. It’s one of our many specialities. This is just an example of the kind of thing we get up to. The team at Horseshoe Gin wanted a gin gift packaging solution that would boast a powerful presence and stand out on shelves. The drinks sector is highly competitive, with new brands popping up seemingly overnight – So it’s critical to grab the consumer’s attention immediately. That’s exactly what Smurfit Kappa was able to do for this brand. When creating the gift packaging, Horseshoe Gin asked our design team to ensure their distinctive diamond-shaped label showed through a cut-out at the front of the box. Ensuring the label and cut-out were perfectly aligned was challenging, but the team quickly overcame this. This distinctive diamond cut-out allows the bottle and the Horseshoe Gin brand to remain a key focus to catch the customer’s eye instantly. If you want to know more about this project or need some gift packaging of your own… Why not send me a message? #Foodandbeverage #eCommerce #Retail

This is Breadtop. A pastry shop that I had to take a double-take during my recent business trip to Melbourne. I snapped this photo when I walked past the second outlet. The brand logo, colour palette, environmentals, and the store layout piqued my curiosity. I googled. “Breadtop (Chinese: 包店, pinyin: bāo diàn) is an Australian bakery franchise selling a wide range of bread, cakes, buns and pastries. The chain is often likened to the Singapore-based BreadTalk due to the similar store concepts, products on offer and designs. As of December 2017, the franchise has over 70 stores throughout metropolitan Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth and Darwin.” - Wikipedia. This is not the first encounter for our homegrown brands. Remember this recent sharing - https://lnkd.in/gjDhFYaf Is it flattery when a brand recall is so strong and brands of the world attempt to mimic? In such circumstances, how do brands protect their identities? Do they embrace, should they defend? Thom Browne defended and won the stripes trademark case against Adidas. The latter entered a lawsuit stating that the famed American designer had replicated the German megabrand’s iconic “three stripes”. Thom Browne has four. “Back to business”, he posted on Instagram a day after the win. Apparently, Breadtop is doing well. Since 2021, they’ve signed a deal to supply a range of products to Coles, Australian supermarket chain. I did not walk in though. I do wonder if they serve the popular “floss buns.” I shall do so my next visit. BreadTalk Group Pte Ltd CHARLES & KEITH GROUP #brandidentity #brandpositioning

As I passed by Carter Road Starbucks the other day, my eyes were fixed on the new limited collection: Manish Malhotra X Starbucks India collection. I had seen multiple posts on Instagram about this exquisite collaboration between two highly profiled brands in their industry. The story behind this well-crafted collaboration is impressive, as it showcases Kashmiri motifs, highlighting traditional floral techniques and cultural heritage. Additionally, it features the Manish Malhotra intricate patterns on Starbucks India cups and tumblers, boasting a color palette of black, gold, white, and carmine. As elegant as it may look, the prices for this collection spiked my heart rate. The point that struck my mind then was, "How much value does a brand name hold for the price of a product that is barely anything?" Talking specifically about the reusable sippers, which were priced at 850 INR, trust me, I can get you the same quality and product from Crawford Market for not more than 70 rupees. What is being portrayed as learning here is that in some cases, it’s not what you sell, it's under what brand name you sell it. I am sure you wouldn’t pay the same amount if this drinkware was launched by Milton or Borosil. Since it is Manish Malhotra, having a crafted piece from him adds value to you and leverages the brand to sell something at that price. #starbucks #brands #marketing #limitededition
