MULTIPLE BRANDING Marketing of two or more mutually competing products under different brand names by the same company. Motive may be that the company wishes to create internal competition to promote efficiency, or to differentiate its offering to different market segments, or to get maximum mileage out of established brands that it has acquired.

When a company has achieved a dominant market share, multibrand strategy may be its only option for increasing sales still further without sacrificing profitability
DISADVANTAGES.. Offering multiple choices often leaves the buyer confused. In a multi-brand setup its also difficult for a retailer to recommend a brand to the customer because that would amount to underselling the other brands.
Another disadvantage of multi-brand retail is that not only do retailers face tough competition if other retailers start their own stores in the neighborhood, but they also receive fewer benefits from vendors. Sometime vendors tend to focus more on their exclusive partners and also tend to give better benefits, support and deals to them than a multi-brand retail partner.
