The Market For Different Brands Of Jelly And Jams

By Betty Robinson


Production and manufacturing companies of jellies and jams use branding as the most effective tool for marketing. It often gives them an advantage over their competitors who have shady brands. Attractive stickers and labels on containers go a long way in making the customers choose to buy the products or not. The shapes of the containers and the material they are made of also play a major role in marketing the products. Here is an overview on brands of jelly and jams.

The increased production of jellies has had the market flooded as traditional monopolies fast lose their ground when they do not diversify their products. Indicating attractive nutritional contents of the products on the labels and stickers has also increased sales without necessarily having to change the nutritional content of the products.

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 effect that branding has on different brands of jellies has a great impact on whether these products sell or not. Having an ideally outstanding brand will and impeccable quality will develop trust in customers which translates to increase in demand. The pricing should be done strategically so that buyers get value for what they pay for.
