I've been asking myself this question for the past year or so. Is it better to rebrand all the products you have and sell them under your own brand name entirely, or is it ok to market other people's product under the original brand - or is it better to have something in the middle?

My reasoning is that rebranding is very good in the long run (is this is the case? under what conditions?), but at the same time one can use the argument of not rebranding to get a better price because you will be marketing their brand and contribute to making it more wide spread. But also if you market the original brand then you are also telling everyone where they can get the products in bulk and cheaper as well. What is the best long term approach?

I've heard a guy who is very good at what he does say that "marketing someone else's brand is suicide."

What do you think?
