Sainsbury’s has recently launched a new price campaign, titled ‘Pocket Friendly Prices,’ in its network of 800 convenience stores. The initiative aims to highlight competitive pricing on various products, including own-brand chicken breasts, butter, and cherry tomatoes.
The introduction of signage promoting low prices is part of Sainsbury’s strategy to emphasize its value proposition, particularly in response to the prevailing cost-of-living crisis. This period has witnessed a shift in consumer preferences toward discount retailers like Aldi and Lidl.
In an effort to enhance its value credentials, Sainsbury’s has also introduced Nectar Prices, a loyalty initiative similar to Tesco’s Clubcard Prices. Nectar cardholders can now instantly access discounts on 300 items, featuring popular products such as Nescafe Gold Blend instant coffee and Heinz Baked Beans.
It is worth noting that Nectar Prices is not applicable in Sainsbury’s local format, concessions, or petrol stations.
Addressing the challenges posed by the cost-of-living crisis, Sainsbury’s CEO Simon Roberts has committed to maintaining low prices. The company had experienced a decline in profits during the first half of the previous financial year, largely attributed to its investment in price reductions.
Simon Roberts stated, “We understand the financial challenges faced by millions of households. Customers are closely monitoring their expenditures, and we recognize the importance of offering competitive food prices. Our commitment involves a significant investment of over £500 million by March 2023 to reduce costs at a faster rate than our competitors, enabling us to navigate the challenges of inflation effectively.”
Sainsbury’s is set to unveil its full-year results in the upcoming week, providing further insights into the impact of its strategic initiatives on the company’s performance.
