Kaufland attacks Aldi with 'Best Prices' campaign featuring Laura Wontorra
German retailer Kaufland (Schwarz Gruppe) is launching a broad advertising campaign under the slogan 'Deutschlands beste Preise' (Germany's best prices) directly countering Aldi's recent 'Günstig ohne Bonus-App' campaign. The campaign features TV spots developed in-house starring presenter Laura Wontorra, who asks customers in Kaufland stores what they consider the best price for their groceries, with the retailer claiming to match these low prices nationwide on regular products. The move targets price-sensitive consumers amid rising living costs and takes aim at competitors such as Aldi, Penny, and Netto, particularly on the topic of price leadership. Kaufland's marketing director Michael Lüttgen emphasizes the company's commitment to affordability, citing over 300 weekly promotional prices, 7,000 permanently discounted items, and the Kaufland Card XTRA benefits program. The campaign follows Kaufland's recent shift to offer promotions from Monday instead of Thursday, aiming to improve customer access to deals.
