Imagine that you work for a store as a Merchandise Buyer (whatever you want it to be). You have been tasked with developing a line of product labels to compete with branded goods. Name the store in your submission.

1. 5. •           Why did you select that particular category to create your private label?

1. 5. •           Determine ways in which your private-label products could create greater value for consumers than competing manufacturers brand products (i.e. lower prices, more features, association with the store’s reputation).

1. 5. •           Develop a name and why did you select it.

1. 5. •           What does the consumer gain by purchasing your private label item?

1. 5. •           What does the store gain by being successful in developing a private label business?

1. 5. •           Can you create brand loyalty with a private label brand?

(Private label store brands are growing and replacing national brands- for inspiration look at Costco, Trader’s Joe, Macy’s, Wal-Mart, CVS as examples. Many of their products are branded under their own store label)
