"As a hypermarket, we also have the opportunity to offer Italian products in the non-food sector and to create an emotional shopping experience with Italian charm for our customers," Müller-Sarmiento added.
According to Real, the layout of the advertising for the promotion is reminiscent of the typical four-tiered Italian meal, including the antipasti, primi, second and dolci courses. 'In addition to lots of information on the origin, quality, taste and price of each food are also in inspiring recipe ideas, which can be accessed by scanning a QR code', the retailer said.
