White Label versus Private Labelling, With The Nine P's Of Marketing?

White labeling is about rebranding existing "Products," while private labeling is about developing "Planning" and Products," creating or modifying products from scratch. 

As a manufacturer, retailer or Producer, look at your specific needs, pricing and profitability, distribution, branding, budgets, and level of control you want over the product. 

Private labeling has more control, more expensive, usually one retailer or “partner,” more customization, and can take more time to set up with “Partners.”

White labeling you have less control, less customization, it’s less expensive and working with multiple “Partners.”

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

  • Planning and Research. Planning for retail sales. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Consumers and users, as in retail and retail shoppers. In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes people and celebrities too. 
  • Place (Distribution) Online and retail. 
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Price or Pricing 
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
  • Partners/Alliances: Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence.

A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise. Usually plural or “Partners,” not Partner.

                Ensure that there is excellent planned and natural alignment of internal and                            external agencies/partnerships/alliances around common goals and purposes.                       
They should be moving toward shared goals or goals. 

  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product

How Many Of The 9P’s Of Marketing Are Involved? What Is The Meaning Of White Labelling?

Can be for both products and services.  

So how many of the 9P’s of Marketing are involved in white labelling? What is the meaning of "White Labelling?"

  • Planning
  • Product
  • Price or Pricing
  • Place or Distribution
  • Promotion
  • Targeting or People
  • Passion

White labeling is when one company buys its product from another company (Producer) and rebrands it as their own. The company which sells the final product to the consumer (People) is usually not involved in the manufacturing it or them.

Advertising And Media Placement Lessons: Why The Shift By Agencies to Work Directly With SSPs (Supply-Side Ad Platforms)?

For a few reasons, agencies and holding companies are going around the system and working directly with SSPs. They are using companies such as Index Exchange, Magnite and PubMatic. 

Why?

It's been a gradual shift but the advertising and media buying agencies are tired of the hidden fees, low quality ad placements, poor quality websites, lack of understanding insights and content, lack of transparency, the complexity of the supply chains, and bad overall, faulty targeting or finding the right "People," under the 9P's of Marketing.

"How To Find And Land A Job In Marketing And Other Disciplines" Paper, With 9P's Of Marketing

We're talking Marketing jobs.

California has the highest demand for marketing jobs in the US, from analysis of "marketing-jobs" listings on Glassdoor.

"How to Find and Land a Job" paper. https://www.londremarketing.com/documents/Londre-Marketing-Consultants-Jobs2025e.pdf

My 9P's of Marketing do include include these important concepts, practices and components:

  • Planning and Research. For both goods and services. From the founder of Intuit, Scott Cook, said: " A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is -- (maybe from Marketing Research never was is my comment) it is what consumers (“People” in the 9P’s) tell each other it is.
  • People (Segmentation and Targeting)
    • Look at Demographics, Psychographics, Behavior characteristics, Geographics, Technographics. Consumers and users,  and much more. In my 9P's, I stress that firms need to look and analyze potential, new, existing and repeat customers and users
  • Product and Services, includes people and celebrities too. 
  • Place (Distribution) 
  • Price or Pricing 
  • Promotion
    • There are eight (8) major, strategic components or communication elements which are personal and non-personal communication activities. 
    • The activities that communicate the merits of the overall product include:
      • Personal Selling/ Sales Force: Sales persons
        • Listen more than you talk. People who listen more, learn more, plus helps you position your service/product/solution or offering. 
      • Advertising: 
      • Like Super Bowl advertising in February for Super Bowl. Think about this expression "It is only creative if the product or service sells." I wanted to add "It is only good media spending if it sells."
      • Sales Promotion
      • Collateral Materials
      • Direct Marketing (also referred to as Action or Direct Response Advertising)
      • Interactive/Internet/Web, Digital Media, Social Media:  
      • Events and Experiences, sampling
      • Public Relations/PR
    • One stop shopping is more important than ever. 
  • Partners/Alliances: Most times Marketers can’t create customer value and build customer relationships only by themselves. They work closely with partners and alliances outside the firm, and with other company departments (inside partners).   

Partnerships and teams that feel a connection to the work and the purpose are going to speak far more passionately together and to your or their “people,” and with far more influence.

A partnership; the joint relationships, partnerships and strategic alliances: The relationship existing between two parties; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specific and joint rights and responsibilities as a common enterprise. Usually plural or “Partners,” not Partner.

                Ensure that there is excellent planned and natural alignment of internal and                            external agencies/partnerships/alliances around common goals and purposes.                       
They should be moving toward shared goals or goals. 

  • Presentation:
    • The act or acts of strategically presenting any of the different 9P’s© and/or components to your customers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, sales force, marketing intermediaries, clients, employees, partners, and/or others. 

      Presentation aspects may be signs, symbols or images that represent something; a descriptive or persuasive account (as a sales person of the product or service). Something set forth for the attention of mind of your targets ("People") and media audiences. I've added "culture," too. I'm adding "culture," too.

  • Passion, including consumers and employees. Think about the lines sometimes of consumers waiting for a new Apple product
