The Kosher Logo
The logo has become an increasingly important marketing device, which generates additional revenues by expanding the size of the market. Certification gives a product a competitive edge that makes it sell faster, thus causing supermarkets to favor brands with certification. That also means that a kosher logo like certification can lead to an increase in a company’s private label business.
Kosher Certification Benefits
There is clear evidence that a kosher symbol boosts market share, that a kosher product can win more favorable shelf space, and that when positioned next to a competing non-kosher brand, a kosher product will do better by 20%. This data has remained constant even in smaller cities, far from city with heavy concentrations of kosher Jews. (Source: Integrated Marketing Communications.) The drastic growth in demand for Kosher certified products is due to Safety and Quality associated with being Kosher. Since Kosher demands high standard, adherence to dietary restrictions and laws as well as transparency and labeling consumers trust the kosher symbol and appreciate the kosher product.
