The Market For Different Brands Of Jelly And Jams

By Betty Robinson


The competition for customers by most of the production companies for jams and jellies is greatly affected by the branding they choose as a marketing strategy. Attractive labels on containers have seen customers scrambling for the products on the shelves of shops and supermarkets. The shapes and materials used for the containers have also had an impact on what sells and what does not. Poorly branded products are quickly losing demand as buyers strive to get value for their money. This piece highlights more on brands of jelly and jams.

Branding does not necessarily require the producers of these products to change the contents of the packages. This is left to their discretion. Indicating attractive nutritional contents has also seen buyers scrambling over the products in a bid to have value for their money in the products they choose to purchase. The high competition is mainly because of the increased supply globally for these products that have had traditional monopolies facing a shakedown if they do not diversify their jams and jellies.

A number of customers will argue that better-packed jellies have better quality and the price is also directly proportional. This makes most of them go for higher priced products expecting that the quality is worth the price. A good packaging and pricing strategy attract buyers who are trying the product for the first time but it is the quality that will make them buy it for the second time.

Jams and jellies tend to have a recreational value. Some people use them as gifts to their loved ones on their special days or even use them themselves as a treat on holidays or the days they are off work. They do blend well in parties and a couple of people have their first taste of events.

The fact that jams and jellies are used by people as gifts makes it all the while important for the packaging companies to invest a lot in the outward appearance of a product. The better the gift appears the more the gifted people appreciate and value it. A jam or jelly, without an attractive look, given as a gift will often not stir the emotions of the gifted in the desired way. Hence if a company wants its jam or jelly to fly off the shelves fast, it has to catch the eyes of customers.

Most customers have specific preferences when it comes to the jams or jellies they like. Jellies that are normally made of exotic fruits and are chewy and thick tend to attract buyers more others. Too sweet jellies are usually associated with too much sugar or additives which tend to ruin the expectations of a number of customers. Branding that goes ahead to feature such preferences is more likely to attract more customers.

Inadequate facilities and technologies used in developing homemade products affect how well branding can be done on them as home manufacturers cannot be able to account for the ingredients with precision or even the quality of their productions. However, some customers prefer them saying that mass production affects quality.

The impact that branding has should not be overlooked as it will determine if the products sell or not. Attracting customers usually has a vital implication on whether the clients buys the product or not. Price must, however, be properly determined so that customers get the best value for their money.
