Lidl Makes a Shift in Its Strategy in the USA: The German Chain Bets on a Change That Will Increase Its Profits in the Country

Lidl has decided to renew its marketing strategy in the United States, seeking to increase brand recognition in the country. Through an ambitious advertising campaign, the German chain aims to stand out among the competition and improve its image with American consumers. This relaunch will be key to consolidating its presence in a highly competitive market.

A New Campaign to Win Over Americans

Lidl's campaign, which will carry the slogan "The Super-est Market," will be the focus in the coming days. The company expects this investment to be the most significant made so far to position its brand in the United States. Frank Kerr, Director of Customers at Lidl US, commented that this campaign is aimed at creating a more emotional connection with consumers.

Research conducted by Lidl revealed that only 58% of American citizens in areas where Lidl is present knew that the chain was a supermarket. With this information, the company has partnered with an agency to design a new strategy that positions Lidl as a brand offering something unique to consumers.

Lidl's Goal: Emotionally Connect with the Consumer

According to Kerr, the goal of the campaign is to make customers not only shop but also feel emotionally attracted to the brand. "The customer experience is not just about how they interact with you in the store or through their phone. It's about how your brand makes them feel and what it reminds them of you," Kerr explained.

Lidl seeks for consumers not only to buy products but to become loyal fans of the brand. Lidl's effort also focuses on using specific colors in its advertising, such as red, yellow, and blue, which are part of its corporate identity. These colors will be visible across all marketing channels, allowing the brand to be easily recognized by consumers.

Product Restructuring and Assortment Improvements

In addition to the new campaign, Lidl has also made changes to its product assortment in the United States. According to Kerr, approximately 40% of the products sold in Lidl stores have been adjusted. This includes changes in suppliers, packaging improvements, and, in some cases, a complete renewal of certain product categories.

The company has also made adjustments to its offerings to focus more on private labels, which have historically been one of the pillars of Lidl's business model. The company hopes these changes will attract more customers who are looking for a more convenient shopping experience tailored to their needs.

Lidl is convinced that these adjustments and the marketing campaign will help the German chain establish itself as a key competitor in the American market. Lidl's business model, based on efficiency and value for money, remains its greatest strength. The company hopes these changes will strengthen its presence in the United States.
