will online turn the tide in one direction or the other?

the opportunities
17
brick and mortar retailers make good use of potent levers to drive private label…
…but online levers will prove to be more potent
the product aperture is narrowing, not broadening, for those not deeply engaged in finding the right product
20
1990 – many SKUs available in
increasingly large stores
2000 – efforts to rationalize SKUs in
stores
2005 – promise of ‘endless aisle’ meets reality: consumers search and do not
scroll deeply
2010 – smaller screens
2016 – voice user interface limited to two find-able
items
ok, enough talking, let’s see some data!

• private label is less developed online than offline• fewer categories with private label present
• [mostly] lower penetration in existing categories
• it is possible, but not inevitable, for a private label brand to lead the category
• Amazon is the chief threat to brands
• assume that retailers have more levers to drive private label sales online than offline
• assume that the private label buyer looks like the national brand buyer – slightly younger, slightly more male
• the trajectory of digital shopping experiences is likely to be more amenable to private label brands over time as simplicity is increasingly paramount
key takeaways
37
• assume that Amazon will make a private label play in your category
• create world class product content to maintain parity
• laser focus on consumer reviews
• relentless innovation – particularly around e-commerce friendly innovation
• balance bets across e-commerce channel partners
• direct-to-consumer becomes critical balance to retailer power
• understand how to work all of Amazon’s levers• search• display• subscribe & save• Amazon’s Choice
• listen to Amazon’s recommendations
brands – countering the private label threat
