National Brands vs. Store Brands
National brands have long dominated the retail scene.

<b>Store Brands</b> are a brand created and OWNED by a reseller (distributor) of a product or service--sales are soaring

Although store brands can be hard to establish and costly to stock and promote, they also yield HIGHER profit margins for resellers--and they provide resellers with exclusive products that cannot be bought from competitors, resulting in greater store traffic and loyalty
Licensing

review pg. 241
Some companies license names or symbols previously created by other mfgs, names of well known celebritied, or characters from popular movies and books.

for a fee any of these can provide an instant and proven brand name.
Co-Branding
The practice of using the established brand names of two different companies on the same product.

occurs when 2 established brand names are used on the same product.

one company will usually licenese another company's well-known brand to use in combo with its own.

creates broader consumer appeal and greater brand equity, also allows a company to expand its existing brand into a category it might otherwise have difficulty entering alone.

Also has its limitations--usually involve complex legal contracts and licenses, partners must carefully coordinate their advertising, sales promos, and other marketing efforts.
