There are many ways to participate in the booming eCommerce industry. Apart from venturing into Amazon FBA or auctioning items via eBay, you can kickstart your eCommerce venture by selling <\/span>private label products<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Private labeling<\/span> is one of the most convenient ways to start an <\/span>eCommerce business<\/span> in 2023, as it helps you lower your startup costs and reduce stress at the very onset of your eCommerce journey. With private labeling, there is no need for you to immediately open a front office and hire employees to set up the product line for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first step towards becoming a successful private label seller is to find winning products. Essentially, <\/span>private label products<\/span> are merchandise created by third-party manufacturers but marketed under the retailer’s <\/span>own brand<\/span>. The retailer or private label seller holds authority over various aspects of the products, such as specifications and packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its simplest form, a <\/span>private label product<\/span> refers to an item produced by one company but sold under another business’s brand name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some pioneering businesses that helped popularize <\/span>private labels<\/span> in the 19th century were Brooks Brothers, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor. Dubbed as “<\/span>palaces of desire<\/span><\/i>,” these <\/span>businesses offered<\/span><\/a> private label goods<\/span> at a fixed price below their competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the <\/span>private label products<\/span> offered by the likes of Macy’s are priced less than brand-name alternatives, it gave consumers more economical options while becoming a “<\/span>counter-inflationary force in the economy<\/span><\/i>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the <\/span>private label business<\/span> model has found new life, particularly in the field of eCommerce. eCommerce sites, especially Amazon.com, ushered in a more dynamic platform for <\/span>private label<\/span> businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>private label model <\/span>has become a popular choice for most Amazon sellers. It is estimated that<\/span> more than 50%<\/span><\/a> of Amazon sellers utilize the <\/span>private label business<\/span> model for their <\/span>own brand<\/span> and product line.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a macro-perspective, Europe’s <\/span>private label<\/span> segment has the highest market penetration, between <\/span>20% to 50%<\/span><\/a> of supermarket unit sales. While in the United States, the <\/span>Private Label<\/span> Manufacturers Association (<\/span>PLMA<\/span><\/a>) reported a growth of 11.3% in-store brand sales, reaching a new yearly high of $228.6 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering growth rates and market penetration levels, it is safe to say that <\/span>private label <\/span>consumer goods perform better than some <\/span>branded products<\/span>. It suggests that consumers recognize that <\/span>private label products<\/span> can offer comparable or even superior quality and value compared to the national brands they used to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n
