Lidl’s Living Income Tea
Lidl launched a new Kenyan tea with a Fairtrade living income reference price, paying growers extra to help close the gap between current earnings and a decent living income. The £1.99 product turns a complex supply-chain commitment into an everyday purchase, giving the launch a clear Fairtrade Fortnight news hook.
Why it worked: It hit Fairtrade Fortnight with a UK-first pricing mechanism—paying the living income reference price—turning policy into a £1.99 shopper act.
The lesson: Consider timing a launch to an awareness week and anchor it to a verifiable first-of-its-kind mechanism customers can enact at checkout.
