Background:
DIY retail infrastructure in Kazakhstan is not fully developed.
Consumers are used to buy construction and renovation materials at bazaars where they are cheap despite the inconvenience and no guarantee of quality.
Our goal was to announce Grand opening of the first Leroy Merlin in Kazakhstan and communicate its advantages compared to bazaars, and to generate store traffic.
Solution:
The main heroes of the communication are sellers and customers from the bazaars who discover Leroy Merlin. The commercial series is based on a linguistic trick - repetition. We started from repeating the brand name many times during the video to make it familiar and continued with repeating the advantages

Along with TV spots, we launched a 360-marketing campaign:
- OOH and city formats
- digital banner ads, social media
- adverts on public transport and radio
Specifically, for grand opening we launched an “opening soon” ad campaign with date & time of the event. Thus, almost about 25,000 visitors attended Leroy Merlin store this day.
Results:
The campaign ran for 3 months, and as a result there was a significant increase in the following indicators by the end of 2018 (compared to August of 2018)*:
Awareness = 54% (+12%)
Store traffic = 20% (+12%)
Purchase = 16% (+11%)
Image Atribute "prices are lower than at other stores"**= 62% (+11%)

** Survey results. Answers «prices are lower» and «prices are slightly lower», compared to bazaars and other stores in the category.
