Case Study
Analyzing Consumer Brand Loyalty to Identify Opportunities for Private Label Office Supply Products
Many retailers are improving their price competitiveness by increasingly making use of private label products (products that carry the retailer’s brand name). An important aspect of this strategy includes understanding how to position these private label products without damaging sales of existing branded products and the retailer’s relationship with those branded suppliers. Consequently, a national office supply retailer asked Frank N. Magid Associates to help the company test consumer loyalty among its existing brands, thereby minimizing sales cannibalization as the company introduced its private label products. Adhering to the results of a Magid’s consumer “stickiness” research, the client successfully introduced its private label products, resulting in increased sales and improved margin contribution.World's Leading Fast Food Restaurant Engages Magid to Help Executives Respond Effectively to a Public Relations Challenge
