The Power of Private Label
Jonathan Sands, Chairman, Elmwood Sarah Dear, Group Client Service Director, Elmwood Join Jonathan Sands and Sarah Dear as they discuss a much-overlooked tool in retail. Retailers often focus on winning price wars on branded goods. Elmwood believes that stores are increasingly used as showrooms, with consumers then turning to new media to get the best deal. Used correctly, own label can drive footfall, as well as boosting margin and differentiation. Hear both sides of a story that stretches back over 25 years as we give you a fresh perspective on private label that's been developed in collaboration with our clients. Expect particular insight on why the old model of good, better, best is no longer good enough. This session will be within the Brand Strategy & Design Track on Wednesday at 2:15 pm | |||
