Private label capturing consumers' hearts

There's a new study highlighted in WARC, an advertising research website based out of the UK. I love their reports and case studies but boy is it expensive.

90% of shoppers said that private label products were as good or better than their branded equivalent. Ninety percent! Over a third of shoppers in this study swapped named brand for private label merchandise in their carts.

These numbers are pretty significant and I bet worrying for manufacturers everywhere. Given my post on the increasing sophistication of private label packaging, I'm not surprised.
