Abstract
Retailers, in their constant battle to attract consumer attention and spending, seek to answer one question: how do I get the consumer to notice and patronize my business? One component of any answer is branding. For Richardson, Dick and Jain (1994), retailers have a simple choice:
They can view themselves either as passive distributors of manufacturers¡¯ brands or as active marketers of their own proprietary store brands. The former strategy has been the prevalent one adopted by American retailers . . . The problem with this strategy is obvious: chains become little more than warehouses for manufacturers¡¯ products.
