The retailer’s own brand

What it shows

The biggest brand is a different one at each retailer: allen + roth at Lowe’s (17%); Glacier Bay at The Home Depot (21%); Ebern Designs at Wayfair (8%); Kohler at Ferguson (22%).

Why it matters

At all four retailers the retailer’s own brands hold 15% or more of the top results, so outside brands share less.

What to do

Start with the weekly report for Wayfair, where 8% is enough to lead.

Ad share

Ads are 42% of the top results at Wayfair and 16% at Lowe’s.

Why it matters

One ad budget buys different things: places in the top results at Wayfair (42% are ads) and Lowe’s (16% are ads), banners above them at The Home Depot and Ferguson.

What to do

Decide retailer by retailer. At Wayfair, where ads are 42% of the top results, first check the unpaid places you already hold.

What it shows

Three losses share the biggest size; one is allen + roth in cabinet knobs at Lowe’s, from 58% to 52%. At The Home Depot, no brand moved a full percent this week. For Wayfair and Ferguson, changes start in the 2nd week of September. One week’s move; the same move next week would make it a trend.

What to do

Find your categories among these moves. Where a competitor gained, as Kohler did in shower heads, look at its new products, prices and ads.

What this report does not show

  • Sales: a bigger share means a brand is seen more, not that it sells more.
  • Lowe’s results depend on the shopper’s store.
  • Who paid for an ad is not visible. At The Home Depot and Ferguson no product is marked as an ad, so a paid place without a mark is not counted.
