A successful co-branding effort--one that is beneficial to both sides--requires two strong brands in their own right... Consolidation within the industry has led to an increase in co-branding efforts, as a number of major companies have moved to leverage the power of their valued brands. For instance, Munchies combines the value of Frito-Lay's(Plano, Texas) Rold Gold name with Quaker Squares from Quaker Oats Company(Chicago). While leveraging the power of each brand, this endeavor ultimately benefits the owner of both--PepsiCo(Purchase, N. Y.). 4, record 4, English, - co%2Dbranding

Dealers purchase gold on their own account and then sell it to an investor, or vice versa. They have a position in the gold market at all times. They may be "short" gold(they have a net debt in gold) or they may be "long" gold(they possess gold). A dealer makes his money on the "spread", the difference between the price at which he purchases gold and what he can sell it for. He usually does not charge a commission for the transactions you conduct through him. In North American, dealers operate primarily in gold bullion, gold certificates, and coinage. 2, record 7, English, - gold%20dealer
