It is brought that the branding policy of enterprises requires a detailed classification of their own place in the complex of the marketing mix, as well as in the General processes of marketing management to determine a set of tools, communication with the strategies of market segmentation, product positioning, brand distancing from competitors, entering the portfolio of brands in the portfolio of strategic business units of the enterprise.
It is proved that the branding policy of consumer goods consists of parts, the first of which under any technological, economic and social conditions of market development should not change (the point of brand positioning in the consumer market); and the second part should be constantly transformed as an inverse reaction to the actions of competitors and changes in macroeconomic factors of the environment (methods of differentiation of the brand from competitors).

On the example of label color and depending on the structural changes in the beer market of Ukraine, the indices of label colors popularity are determined: orange, green, white, black, red and blue (shown by sales volume reduction), which can be used for rebranding or formation of consumer goods branding policy for food markets.
