WHY BRAND LICENSING?
In 2018, retail sales from the licensing of corporate brands grew 5.5% to $58.83bn. Brand licensing offers a plethora of opportunities for these brands to capitalise on their existing brand equity and drive new revenue streams by entering new retail categories and geographical territories.
A Pringles pencil case, Guinness sausages, Febreze insoles or a BLACK+DECKER high pressure washer, these are all examples of how corporate brands have created licensed product lines to extend their brand's reach and attract new customers.
Taking advantage of the many loyal customers and fans already purchasing the original products manufactured by these corporate brands, additional licensed ranges also offer risk-free opportunties for retailers looking for new products to sell in-store and online.
