Brand licensing strategies involve granting permission to third-party manufacturers or companies to produce and sell products under a brand's name, logo, or character, in exchange for royalties or fees. This approach allows brands to expand their market reach, diversify product offerings, and generate additional revenue streams without directly investing in manufacturing or distribution. Effective licensing strategies require careful management of brand image, legal considerations, and partner selection to ensure brand integrity and profitability.
