Today, the clever range includes more than 700 everyday products: from local apples to a large selection of cheeses, from sausage and meat to frozen pizza, ice cream and snacks to drinks, household and hygiene products and pet food.
"The reliable price-performance ratio has made clever a reliable everyday companion for people in Austria for 25 years now. Anyone who reaches for clever is always guaranteed to buy at a discount price - without having to study price comparisons on the shelf. It's not for nothing that clever products are the most frequently found in customers' shopping carts of all Austrian own brands. With a supported brand awareness of 97 percent*, clever is the number one own brand in Austria," explains BILLA CEO Erich Szuchy.
Quality and prices you have been able to rely on for 25 years
The most popular products and therefore top sellers of the own brand today include products such as kitchen rolls, tea butter, toast ham, energy drinks, eggs, gouda, minced meat and bananas. To mark the 25th anniversary, many clever new additions are now being added to the BILLA and BILLA PLUS shelves, including colorful peanuts, burger buns, fresh egg waffles, party shots and a limited edition of the energy drink Gummibärli. In addition to a constant expansion of the product range, the clever design has been revised over the years. The discount brand has always had its finger on the pulse of the times with its packaging designs. However, clever's top priorities have always been product quality and guaranteed low prices, as well as consumer trust, then as now.
