This is a great post from Arshad Bahl and some really interesting commentary. Check it out Food for thought: Since Private Label has done more and more to mimic what consumers love about emerging brands… What if emerging brands gave PL a taste of its own medicine and mimicked PL’s supply chain advantages (longer centralized production runs, efficient packaging/supply purchases inbound frieght efficiencies, reliable shelf placements, etc, etc.) Total Quality Logistics Flowspace Pod Foods

Everyone seems scared of the rise of Private Label. I think customers truly want to support BFY Mission driven brands - but not at a premium price. We have figured out how to be cost conscious by being vertically integrated and now we are using some of those saved $$ for sampling + story telling to gain “good brand karma” PL is here to stay and grow- as a CPG brand you have to figure out how to have a strong brand that is priced in line with PL. #cpg #brandbuilding
