Aldi - A New Way To Save!
Background
As the cost of living has continued to spiral upwards in the UK, more shoppers are looking to reduce the cost of their weekly groceries. As a result, discount supermarket Aldi has seen its market share increase considerably. As of September 2022, it is the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket brand, with a market share of 9.3%. Aldi also reported gaining more than 1.5 million customers in Q3 2022.
Challenge
Aldi is conscious that as its store footprint grows, there is a danger that its ecological impact could also rise. As a result, the company has invested heavily in developing its Eco Concept Store offering, with Royal Leamington Spa chosen to test whether a store can deliver a great customer experience whilst reducing its carbon consumption.
Thanks to the use of sustainable building materials and the incorporation of innovative design changes, Aldi has estimated that this first Eco Concept Store will reduce life-cycle carbon emissions by up to two-thirds, when compared with an existing Aldi store.
Solution
Service Graphics assisted with the communication and promotion of the key sustainability messaging providing Back Office Wall Graphics, POP/POS Tension Fabric Category Headers and Vinyl Applications, alongside marketing messaging for new propositions including the “hard to recycle” collection unit at the store entrance, and a nuts and coffee refill fixture.
Service Graphics conceptualised, designed and created branding and messaging for these areas to convey the sustainability messaging in a clear and concise way. We were able to leverage our experience in design, print and POS applications to help Aldi share their eco-friendly story with store visitors
Thanks to Service Graphics, we are able to share our sustainability journey with our shoppers in a much more engaging way.
