Although they were devised as a low price positioning choice for consumers concerned by food products prices, recently most private labels have developed a specific differential positioning, some of them priming quality, some priming other non-price related factors. A few of these factors can be best related to certain brands. However, the majority of the Spanish food brands still have some shared attributes which, when concurring, can be used as predictors of PL purchasing. Based on the research data from a survey, the authors reconstruct what happened with PL from the years before the recession to the present time. The influence of the crisis on the private label positioning is also examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
