  19. Store Brands • Private label brands • Less expensive and more of a “me-too” product offering • Target’s “Archer Farms,” Kroger’s “Private Selection,” and Costco’s “Kirkland Signature” • The retailer can offer decent quality for lower prices due to reduced advertising costs

  20. Brand Equity • Brand Equity • The worth of a brand • Measurement Approaches • Determining the price premium of brand • “How much are you willing to pay for gas at Shell?” vs. • “How much are you willing to pay at a local station?” • Comparing branded and unbranded • “How much do you like this $799 Sony flat screen with screen-within-a-screen?” vs. • “How much do you like this $799 unknown brand flat screen sharing the same features?”
