An example of co-branding in the hospitality can be coffee products of Starbucks which are offered to customers for consumption in the airplanes operated by United Airlines (Woodside et al., 2020). The advantage of co-branding is that there can be products of two different brands marketed simultaneously and made popular among customers. Therefore, customers of United Airlines might become brand-loyal customers of Starbucks coffee products. Similarly, existing customers of Starbucks can enjoy their favorite brand of coffee products by boarding United Airlines flights.
