Selling the same product with different brand name.

[kirubel]

In my area there are some companies those who sell the same products with different brand name tag, and they are trying to full the societies and most of the times they change the packaging, the color and the name of the products and they provide it to the market and they try to increase their profit from it, for example bottled water companies, flavored drink companies, and also chips and snack producing companies use this technique.
Do you think this technique is good for getting profit?

In my view it is a kind of cheating, and it won't last long. Sooner or later people knows the exact condition and then they think to better leave that shop and further more they inform others too.

This is wrong, yes it might lead to quick profits but it still does not change the fact that it is wrong, and the original owners have every right to sue them at anytime if they should ever find out.

I don't see any problem with this. We all learn from what others have already done, it is so rare to come up with unique things. Most people just do what others have done. Also in business, everyone has their own business name and brand, so you can as well try other people's recipe and use it in your business, there is no law that prohibits that.

That's why I love my country. Any business that engages in this kind of antics would be boycotted and abandoned by the locals. Even if you want to do it, add a small upgrade and difference between the products.

Rebranding a product involves more than just a name change; it's about crafting a new identity. Imagine a classic cola being marketed as a trendy, artisanal soda in one instance and a nostalgic, timeless beverage in another. Each brand carries a unique story, tapping into diverse consumer emotions. This strategic shift allows companies to reach broader audiences, tailoring their messaging to different demographics or markets.​

Consider tech gadgets: one brand may emphasize sleek, modern design for urban professionals, while another highlights robust functionality for tech enthusiasts. The underlying product remains unchanged, but the perceived value varies. This approach enables companies to penetrate various market segments, maximizing their product's market potential.
Ultimately, successful rebranding hinges on effective storytelling, aligning the product with the aspirations and preferences of different consumer groups. It's not just about selling a product; it's about selling an experience, a lifestyle, or a solution tailored to distinct customer needs.

That is cheating in a broad daylight. They are cheating the licensed company that manufactured the products. they have no right to change the name because it is against the law.

That's right, people would definitely notice and then again it could lead to legal issues. If the original owner decides to pick up the case legally, it would bring serious problems to the offenders.

What I can only see to that is that maybe they are not sure or they don't guarantee their initial product because if you sell good product you will be able to use the name continuously

True its kind of cheating, some business owners and company owners do those things in order to full the customers and sell similar thing with different brand names and looks, which is typical cheating.

ln my country this would be treated as a criminal offence and the perpetrators are subjected to the court of law for persecution.

 

[Starmix]

That's cheating on a broad daylight. How could someone do that act? It's against the law and if caught you will lose everything even your freedom. The original brand owner may sue the person.

Deception is what sellers do in the market. That is why we need to be more vigilant in buying these products. I am quite meticulous when it comes to buying things, either online or offline.

 

[nomad]

Do you see any difference between coke and pepsi, well two different companies are selling the same thing with different names. A lot of business use this technique.

 

[Kera]

It is a business strategy to get diverse markets. Some people might just like the other packaging and branding of the product.

This had never occurred to me, it could be a good strategy that works very well, perhaps this strategy has a lot of potential, it would be a matter of someone putting it into practice and then telling us how about its results.

 

[Clandestine]

I have seen a few sellers do that and I feel it is a kind of deceit. It is okay if it is different markets.

 

[gwolf666]

I have read it again and now I understand it, I thought you wanted to sell products from different companies, that is fine, what is not fine is selling a product for example Coca Cola and selling it as Pepsi, this is 100% illegal and 100% scam, in fact people are not stupid, just by trying it you realize that they are different, since Coca Cola and Pepsi have very different tastes, I definitely do not support this at all, if someone buys a PS5 for example, they want a PS5, not a polystation or a sega, is that understood? The answer is definitely no, that's wrong.
