Burlington, ON, Jan 20: In a move to address ongoing affordability concerns among Canadians, IKEA Canada has announced an additional investment of $50 million aimed at reducing prices on hundreds of products.

Key Points
1. Significant price reductions across popular home furnishing products
2. Financial services to enhance customer affordability
3. Strategic investment to support budget-conscious consumers

This commitment is complemented by a creative advertising campaign that highlights the retailer's dedication to providing accessible home furnishing solutions.

Continued Commitment to Affordability

IKEA Canada previously invested over $80 million in the past year, successfully lowering prices on more than 1,500 products. This year, the company is continuing its mission to make home furnishings more affordable by allocating over $50 million to reduce prices on an additional 550 products. The initiative underscores IKEA's focus on delivering value while enhancing the shopping experience for Canadians.

Playful Advertising Campaign

To complement these price reductions, IKEA Canada is rolling out a new advertising campaign titled "Actually, it's IKEA." This campaign cleverly mimics high-end lifestyle brand advertisements, ultimately celebrating the accessibility and quality of IKEA products. The ads will be featured across various platforms, including broadcast, digital, and social media from January to April 2025.

Notable Price Reductions

As part of this initiative, several popular products have seen significant price drops:

BRIMNES Chest of 3 Drawers: Now $199, previously $249

VESTERÖY Hybrid Mattress (Queen): Now $399, previously $499

FRÖSET Easy Chair: Now $99, previously $119

FÄRGKLAR 18-Piece Dinnerware Set: Now $39.99, previously $49.99

VARDAGEN 4-Pack 15-Ounce Glasses: Now $9.99, previously $11.99

These reductions aim to make home furnishing updates more manageable for budget-conscious consumers.

Financial Services for Greater Accessibility

In line with its affordability goals, IKEA Canada launched financial services last year to further assist customers in accessing well-designed and sustainable home furnishing solutions. Through IKEA Financial Services, Canadians can enjoy easy and transparent financing options both in-store and online, making it simpler to create their ideal living spaces without financial strain.

With its latest investment and advertising efforts, IKEA Canada reaffirms its commitment to providing high-quality home furnishing solutions at accessible prices. As Canadians navigate their spending choices, IKEA remains dedicated to supporting them with exceptional value and innovative financing options.
