In retailing, apart from carrying manufacturer brands, some retailers also market products using their own brands known as private label brands (PLBs) or retailer’s brands. Retailer’s brands hold a substantial share of consumers’ wallets and their popularity is still growing as they spread into various product categories and quality tiers. Due to the high pressure of the cost of living in Malaysia over the past few years, consumers with low to middle incomes started preferring low cost products for their daily use. In fact, the scenario becomes the main reason for the growth in the demand of retailer’s brands or PLBs.
