Trying to compete with Walmart on per product pricing is a race to the bottom. This is especially true when it comes to national brands. Not only are these products widely available, but grocers consistently lose out on direct price comparisons with large retailers. In our webinar discussing the recently released US eGrocery Market Share Report, Brick Meets Click’s David Bishop advises grocers to shift their focus towards private labels by strategically promoting these products on their eCommerce platforms. David mentions Kroger as an example of a retailer that ensures private label products appear prominently in generic search results on their mobile app. When customers search for a product without specifying a brand, leading with private labels can drive sales and enhance customer perception of value. Promoting private labels like this creates a win-win scenario: Customers benefit from lower prices, and grocers enjoy stronger profit margins.
