Brands, Branding and Private Labels



Source: http://www.ibscdc.org/brands_and_branding_case_studies.asp

Last year i.e., some where in the last quarter of 2009, I saw the news about Apple Inc. (Apple),
launching its iPhone 3GS in India. Apple an iconic brand, which represents the edge of
technology and its CEO, Steve Jobs (Jobs), whose brand value was more than that of Apple Inc.
Jobs is an extraordinary marketer and innovator. I, very vividly, remember my childhood days
when I heard about Apple computers for the first time. The things I fail to realise now is that,
being a successful brand and have extended their brand names from computers to media players
and now to the iPhone has not been able to penetrate the Indian market to a great extent. It is a
well known fact that Apple, never wanted, Brand dilution, and it never had any partners.

While surfing the net about Apple, I found an organisation trying to uncover all aspects
regarding Apple and its strategies. This organisation, IBSCDC develops case studies about the
current global happenings. It provides in-depth analysis of the situation and gives good
information about the associated things. I was also interested in knowing various aspects about
what does brand stand for, what is branding and how private labels are severely affecting the
branded products. I browsed IBSCDC’s website (www.ibscdc.org) and found nearly one hundred
and six case studies related to brands, branding and private labels.

Last week, when I visited a shopping mall, I observed a very interesting fact. The number of
branded apparels present in the mall was miniscule in front of the number of private label
apparels present there. This raised an intriguing question in my mind: why are branded products
losing their ground to private labels. Is that the price ruling over minds of the consumers? In
some of the cases, private labels from other countries are also flowing into the malls and serving
the purpose of consumers. Why are these brands losing their charm? I enquired from some of my
friends and colleagues. They said that it’s all about price, price and price! So there is no room for
quality in front of price?

There was a time when consumers used to make statements using some of the top notch brands,
gone are those days? I thought of knowing more about the private labels and their stories. Again
I started my search for further insights by browsing through the IBSCDC’s website
(www.ibscdc.org) and I was amazed to see an executive brief of Nirmalya Kumar, Professor of
marketing, Faculty Director for Executive Education, Director of Centre for Marketing, and Co-
Director of Aditya Birla India Centre at London Business School. This was one of its kinds I
never got to see. Further, I searched the website and to my surprise, I found many a case study
regarding the topic. An academician, student and business executive or a struggling business
journalist, for that matter I can say any individual trying to get information any such topics …
this website will have the answer…take it for granted!
