Brand licensing is one of the most widely used and resource-effective ways to extend a brand, grow its reach, impact and also revenues quickly and profitably. However, finding the right licensing partner, profitable licensing agreement and understanding the nitty-gritties of licensing is not as easy as one might think. A license agreement gone wrong can also adversely impact the brand image among its customer base. When one licenses a brand, they basically rent their legally protected brand identity to another business who in turn gets the right to manufacture and sell products carrying the licensor’s name.
Brand licensing has enabled the process of creating a connection between the world’s most influential entertainment, character, art and corporate brand owners and agents with consumer goods manufacturers, licensees and retail companies. And to facilitate and help these associations and collaborations, License India, which is the licensing subsidiary of Franchise India Holdings Ltd (FIHL), has announced the fourth edition of LABELS, to be held on 24th and 25th February, 2021.
The two day virtual show will host a number of manufacturers and licensees exhibiting their businesses and brands to 2500+ new trade partners, awards recognising biggest brand licensing firms and conferences that will bring over 30 speakers and delegates for two days of knowledge sharing on brand licensing and private labels across India, as also networking. The attendees at LABELS 2021, comprising of entrepreneurs, enterprises, business seekers, retailers and the entire business fraternity especially the budding licensing fraternity, will explore the largest, most diverse collection of assets available for licensing across Asia and will facilitate trend spotting, partnership building and securing brand rights for products. The global benchmark of excellence for brand licensing across categories like animation, brands, entertainment, lifestyle and sports, License India‘s LABELS 2021 is set to become the most coveted platform in licensing.
The Indian brand licensing industry is gathering momentum currently and while it is practiced by a certain segment only, it is extremely vital to induce the model to the larger and growing SME sector across industries.
