Your own brand is the best value chain!




How supplying custom solutions under your own brand can build your company image.

A logo on a product is much more than just a throwaway image; it is a point of recognition for clients and an important foundation for building the brand of your company.

Brands provide peace of mind, safety and express who we are.

Private labels / Branding has become a particularly hot topic in the automotive and heavy duty machinery industries. As a matter of fact, private label sales are growing at the expense of manufacturers’ brands around the world.

Branding your parts and products as your own could be a major source of additional revenue for many years to come. Once it is "your" personalized product it will be sold through your own Aftermarket channels. Selling such products under your own brand also builds client trust and increases the probability of customer retention over off-brand items. Products and custom solutions such as these can of course be entirely tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

Offering custom products under your own label has several additional advantages:

  • You can brand the products in whatever way you like! Incorporate it into the range of a specific familiar brand that you are already working with, or as a new private label.
  • Depending on your required volumes our established contacts and efficient production processes make it possible to acquire these custom products for a better price.
  • Lower Marketing costs due to increased brand awareness.
  • Maintaining consistent brand imagery.
  • Quicker identification of points of improvement and the subsequent development and integration of innovations.

THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHITE LABEL OR PRIVATE LABEL

To start off we should define the difference between white label and private label. After this is clear it will be easier to decide which of the two would better suit your company and its needs to further steer it in the right direction.

In short, both business models allow you to focus exclusively on marketing whilst we deal with the production side of things. In so doing there is no need for you to worry about the technical aspects of the deal. Due to our expertise in this field you will save both time and money by outsourcing this aspect to us.

In the case of white label marketing a product or service can be provided to multiple companies, each of them selling the same product though rebranding it as their own.

Whereas private labeling will ensure a greater degree of exclusivity and customization options.

The Key differences:
As stated the key difference is Exclusivity. This is the core distinction between white label and private label marketing. Private label products are manufactured exclusively for one specific customer so as to guarantee that competing companies will not be selling the exact same products.

White labeling on the other hand means that the same product is available to a multitude of companies. Which also makes it easier for new companies to enter the market in specialized industries as pre-built solutions are more readily available. The uniqueness of these products hinges on marketing, branding and customization choices that were made by the manufacturer.

When to choose private label:
The main advantage behind private labeling is uniqueness. When working with a private label you have the opportunity to offer a truly unique and exclusive product which means you have to worry a little less about competitors since you are offering something distinct. Because of this there is a good potential for profit to be made. In addition, investment costs can be relatively low so long as the target niche is carefully chosen. In short, Private Labeling is a great choice when you want to focus on delivering a specific product to a specific, targeted audience.

When to choose white label:
The White Label model is even easier and cheaper, given that the product is already developed and being actively manufactured. Meaning that no additional research and development is needed and thus the margins can be higher as production costs are lower. White labeling becomes particularly interesting when you have an established client base, as the only thing you have to worry about at that point is having a good marketing strategy. Seeing as the manufacturer can essentially take care of everything else. With white labeling it is possible to have a completely finished solution tailored to your business' needs within a very short amount of time, no more than a month. When walking this path you can see a return on investment almost immediately as the only thing you will have to worry about is developing your business strategy and product marketing.

WHAT DRIVES THE BUYER:

1. Brands provide peace of mind.
Consumers desire comfort, happiness and satisfaction in their lives. Which they get in part through the products and services that they purchase on a day-to-day basis. If the brands that they consume consistently deliver a positive experience then that brand will steadily grow to become trustworthy in the eyes of the consumer. Slowly culminating in becoming a household name that is synonymous with quality and a safe purchase or good investment.

2. Brands dictate decision-making.
Your customers have already chosen for the brand of your car, making it very likely that they will also choose for other accessories offered by your brand if the choice is offered.

3. Brands offer safety.
People, by nature, generally avoid risk-taking and seek the safe choice. Your brand and its products offers safety and a reduced risk of disappointment. Easy to order, a guaranteed fit, covered warranties et cetera.

4. Brands add value and personal expression.
Why are consumers willing to pay a premium for brands compared to unbranded or generic products? Is it due to a higher quality, the specific look and feel, perhaps the brand's status in society? Most likely it is a combination of all these factors.

Successfully branded products make more money for their companies.
