Summary
The belief that private label products can stand out in their own right, without necessarily using a lower price tag as the main selling point, is becoming increasingly common. Such a positive perception supports the presence of premium private labels that use high-quality, upscale packaging designs, and indulgent, complex flavors to entice shoppers. This can be seen in Poland, where consumers pay significant attention not only to price, but also to the nutritional and status-boosting benefits of brands they purchase.
Key Findings
- Established in 2007, Krakowski Kredens is an exclusive private label developed for the upmarket Alma supermarket chain. Its swift success resulted in the opening of 47 independent brand stores across Poland, with a plan to soon raise this to 100 and expand the chain abroad.
