Random thoughts...

I was in a well known supermarket this morning looking for marmalade..

They had a bargain brand which was 1.80. They had a premium brand which was 3.50

They had their home brand which was 1.20 and they had their home brand bargain range which was 0.59 pence.

So basically some oranges and sugar and water... Ranging from 59p to 3.50 for the same stuff.

Can anyone attempt to explain how the price differential works?

Same pricing strategy as male entrance fees in clubs, perhaps?

The 59p one will have a high percentage of sugar and will be syrup with some orange bits in. Whacked with gelatine to hold it together a bit like a we jelly rather than a jam.

The luxury range will have a lower percentage of sugar and a higher percentage of fruit. It will have been processed far more traditionally so that the slow simmer releases the natural pectins in the fruit which make it the desired consistency and the flavour will be natural and not enhanced. The jar will be a fancy shape or embossed and the label will be poncy and carry the illusion of a country life or a tradition being upheld.

Off you go and read up the marketing mix. In short you're buying more than what's inside the jar.

Years back there was a large toyota saloon, identical to a lexus bar the front grille. Considerable price differential.

You've clearly never packaged goods or priced them, labelling costs paper to gloss is over double, sugar load, quality of ingredients as stated above substantially change the prices.

somewhere

Marketing costs to keep the premium brand as a named product

The trick is to find the non brand product made in the same factory as the branded product to save a few quid each time

Not the same, but a bulk of the cost of cosmetics is packaging.

Plastic cardboard and dye, hurrah, yes, I absolutely will spend over £100 on this. Or something

As a prolific maker of marmalade I would avoid the 59p as that will have very little fruit in it, the most expensive one will have substantially more fruit but you are also paying for the name.

My most popular marmalade is a three fruit,orange,lemon,and lime which I reckon costs me around £1.50 for a 1lb (454g) jar. Demand is greater than I can produce, after all it is only a hobby.

Do you ever use those tins of Seville oranges to make marmalade?

I have used them in the past when

Sevile oranges are not in season, they make 6 jars of very good marmalade.

I now buy sevilles when in season, make the pulp add the peel and then freeze until required.

The manufacturer thought about delicious homemade marmalade with Seville oranges at the board meeting and realised that there was heaps of money to be made by selling a jar of diluted sugar with a dash of orange colouring and a squirt of flavouring.

At times I prefer own brands certain supermarkets as they have less salt and sugar and loads cheaper at times

Buy the cheapest first, if you don't like it the move to the next one up, repeat until you find your taste and that is you place in life
