Lidl, Hershey and Lindt’s 19% Price Hike
from FMCG Weekly · host Accuris - Revenue Management Analytics for Fast Moving Consumer Goods Companies
This week’s episode analyzes three distinct strategies in the FMCG sector amidst high cocoa prices and inflation. We examine Lindt & Sprüngli’s robust financial results, where a 19% price increase drove 12.4% organic growth despite a significant drop in volume, highlighting the risks of premium pricing power. We contrast this with Hershey’s aggressive 20% marketing budget increase aimed at revitalizing its flagship brand and reducing reliance on seasonal sales. Finally, we discuss Lidl France’s strategic exit from TV advertising due to restrictive government regulations, signaling a major shift of ad spend toward digital platforms.FMCG Weekly - News and trends curated by Accuris, the leading independent consultancy for revenue growth management
