Power Of Competing With Yourself
These days, success breeds knock-offs at a very quick pace. In some product categories, something seen as successful will have a number of knock-off competitors nipping at its heels in only a matter of months. It's also important to understand that all advertising for a particular product also boosts sales of other (often lesser priced) product in the same category. (For example all beer commercials get beer used up quicker, so the person has to buy more beer. For many years, there was no advertising for 'Old Milwaukee'. Its strategy was to be slightly lower in price even to Bud, and to survive just by being there.)Given these facts, many manufacturers choose to compete with themselves head-on or by covering different price brackets. Essentially, GM's divisions compete with each other a bit, but mostly cover different price brackets.
Sometimes this is done just with labeling changes - same product, different bottles, different names.
Rexall now essentially competes with itself: it has a line of vitamins sold through stores, a different line of nutrition products sold via its own multi-level company, and yet another line for its (dwindling number of) franchised Rexall pharmacies.
