In a press release, the company stated that the products cost approximately 70 percent less than similar products from national brands. Goods will be sold as single items and in small multi-packs, such as a four-pack of toilet paper for $0.99.

“Where we see white space and an opportunity to bring Target’s guests something differentiated, we’ll go for it,” said Mark Tritton, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer. “The introduction of Smartly to our owned brand portfolio is another example of how we are listening to consumers and bringing them differentiated solutions to make their lives easier. Smartly is affordable, looks great and most importantly, gets the job done.”
