Not only are private brands now found across a spectrum of products,  from groceries and staples to apparel, consumer electronics and mobile handsets, they are considered brands in their own right. The fundamental reason for the success of private labels is their price advantage, made possible by their nonexistent or very limited spending on product development and brand promotion. The bulk of the products are reverse-engineered copies of category leaders and they are promoted within the store, not advertised outside. Their value still resonates with customers, but it is no longer the only reason private labels are finding their way into more homes.
