Generic brands of consumer products (often supermarket goods) are distinguished by the absence of a brand name, although the term is actually improper usage of the word "generic", which actually means "relating to or descriptive of an entire group or class." Furthermore, it is often inaccurate to describe these products as "lacking a brand name", as they usually are branded, albeit with either the brand of the store in which they are sold or a lesser-known brand name which may not be aggressively advertised to the public. They are identified more by product characteristics.

The Robinson-Patman Act of 1936 (or Anti-Price Discrimination Act, Pub. L. No. 74-692, 49 Stat. 1526 (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 13)) is a United States federal law that prohibits what were considered, at the time of passage, to be anticompetitive practices by producers, specifically price discrimination. It grew out of practices in which chain stores were allowed to purchase goods at lower prices than other retailers. The Act provided for criminal penalties, but contained a specific exemption for "cooperative associations".

 

odd even pricing

Definition

Psychological pricing method based on the belief that certain prices or price ranges are more appealing to buyers. This method involves setting a price in odd numbers (just under round even numbers) such as $49.95 instead of $50.00. Originally, this practice was meant to prevent pilfering of cash by forcing a cashier to open the cash-register (to pay change to the customer) and thus register the transaction. Although not supported by any research findings, its proponents claim that the consumers see a $49.95 price as 'just above $40' and not as 'just below $50.'
