Previous study found supporting evidence of several factors affecting purchase intention in retail environment. However, there is still few that focus on the private label brand (PLB) despite of the importance of the products for the convinience store business. This study aims to find the direct effects of store image and service quality on brand image and purchase intention for a private label brand (PLB) in the context of convinience store. In addition, it also aims to confirm the factors that directly influence purchase intention of consumers. Two hundred and seven respondents were investigated using nonprobability sampling technique (purposive sampling). The analyses emploted Structural Equation Modelling techniques  and results indicate that store the image and private label brand image has a direct positive impact on purchase intention. The findings also confirmed that service quality has a direct positive effect on private label brand (PLB) image. Surprisingly, service quality has no direct influence on purchase intention, but have indirect influence through private label brand (PLB) image.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of identifying suppliers on private label (PL) packaging on the perceived quality, brand image, loyalty intention and relative price of the national brands (NB) produced by dual manufacturers, considering the possible moderating effects of the images of both the NB and PL. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an experimental setting with two different categories of grocery products. Findings The empirical evidence reveals different effects of PL supplier identification, according to brand images. Research limitations/implications This paper contributes to brand extension literature on the effects on evaluations of the parent brand. It also contributes insights about the identity and identification of PL manufacturers. Practical implications This supplier identification does not affect or positively affect to the perceived quality, brand image or loyalty toward NBs with lower images, but it negatively affects those with high images, especially when the PL also has a high image and adopts a stronger price positioning. Moreover, NBs with lower images appear more expensive or do not affect when they supply PLs for retailers with high images and stronger price positioning. However, if lower image NB supply a PL with the lower image, the effects do not affect or is perceived as cheaper. Originality/value This paper extends prior knowledge about the decision to function as a dual manufacturer from the manufacturer’s perspective.

Many retailers have expanded and diversified their private label food product assortment by offering premium-quality private label food products such as organic products. With price being identified as the major barrier for organic food purchases, private label organic food products could be a suitable and more affordable alternative for many consumers. While numerous studies have examined consumer preferences for organic food, very few organic food studies have incorporated the concept of private labels. This study addresses this research gap by studying consumer preferences and willingness to pay for national brand and private label organic food using a latent class model. Specifically, this study analyzes consumer preferences for organic eggs and orange juice and the effect of national branding versus private label. Findings show heterogeneity in consumer preferences for production method and brand, with three consumer segments being identified based on their preferences for both juice and eggs. For eggs, about half of the consumers prefer private label and organic production, whereas one-quarter clearly prefers organic, and another quarter is indifferent about the brand and the organic production. For orange juice, the majority (75%) prefer the national brand. In addition, one-quarter of the consumers prefers organic juice, and about one-third values both organic and the national brand.

This study develops a model to predict customer lifetime value for hypermarket private label products. It examines the relationships among store awareness, store image variables (i.e., service quality, price/value, convenience, and product quality), private label image, repurchase intention, and customer lifetime value and investigates the moderating role of image fit. The originality of this study lies in filling the gap of previous research on antecedents of private label customers’ behavior by considering store awareness, image fit, and customer lifetime value. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze data. The results indicate the following. Store image variables (except product quality) and store awareness affect repurchase intention directly or indirectly through private label image. Image fit moderates the relationships between store image variables (except product quality) and private label image. Private label image facilitates customer lifetime value. This study provides several theoretical and practical implications for hypermarket private label product developments.

Motivated by profits and their growing power in the marketplace, retailers have been expanding their private-label brands to include more categories of consumer products and differentiation on quality to reach different consumer segments. This global phenomenon is adversely impacting the performance of national brands, thus creating a conflict between two powerful parties manufacturers of national brands and their large retailers who are supposed to be their helping hands in the marketplace. In this paper, the authors develop a conceptual framework, which captures the complexity and multidimensionality of the situation the stakeholders involved, the interest and power of each, the relationships among them, various strategies they employ, and the outcomes of the conflict. Several hypotheses were examined and tested through the empirical part of this study; for example, would the powers of these parties determine who is the loser and who is the winner or will the verdict be in the hands of the consumers? The study surveyed 281 consumers to assess their attitudes toward and preferences of store brands versus national brands across product categories and the underlying motivations. The paper concludes with recommendations for retailers and national brand manufacturers to win the hearts of consumers rather than exhaust their resources in the conflict.
