How does a mass-market retailer or pharmacy group choose the manufacturer for its retailer private label (store brand)? This episode takes you behind the scenes of cosmetics store brands: who makes the decision, which criteria matter, and what the manufacturer selection process involves.
Retailer private labels are gaining ground in personal care and beauty, both in Europe and Morocco. For a manufacturer, a store brand is more than production volume: it is a long-term commitment to consistent quality, traceability and reliability, for a retailer that compares every product with the benchmark national brand.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why cosmetics store brands are gaining ground in personal care and beauty
- The manufacturer selection process: tender, specifications, national-brand comparison, samples, audit and contract
- The criteria that really matter: ISO 22716 compliance, capacity, delivery reliability, traceability and CSR
- The differences between a pharmacy store brand and a mass-market retailer store brand
- The Moroccan context: retailers’ own brands, local sourcing and opportunities to manufacture locally
