Hello,
Today we will analyze a mini case about the retail giant TESCO and discuss how it grew over the years by managung and designing its marketing channels and strategies to suit its customers and remain as the Britains favourite brand and what it should do to expand itself.
Jack Kohen's TESCO's history dates back to 1919 when Mr. Kohen began selling surplus groceries from a stall in London's East End. Tesco's main purpose is to earn a customer's loyalty by creating a value. Tesco opened its first store in September 1931. first day sales of 6.4 and profit of 1.6. Under Dave Lewis tesco had a revenue of 111 billion with profits befor taxes hitting a margin of 4.7 billion in the year 2014.
Tesco has many awards and rewards to its credit. It is 4th most admired brand in UK. It was also awarded the best grocer of year and also it is ranked among the 100 best companies to work for.
Starting from groceries Tesco provides a large variety of products and services which include pharmacy , petrol stations , apparels , electronics , software and many more.
It is spread across 12 countries with different brand names. It has its stores in the brand name of fresh and easy Neighbourhood. With such a large business area it has many competitors which include Morrison's , Walmart , Sainsbury etc.
Tesco does its best to reach tout to its customers through interactive sessions and events . It also encourages its employees by awarding them and conducting events for them. Sponsorship of events like London Pride brings tesco closer to the people
But Why Tesco? To preserve the loyalty of the customer tesco aims at providing a better shopping experience every time to its customes. It does this through integration of techinlogy and innovation . It uses innovative ways to advertise and attract its customers
Tesco has grown along with its customers . It introduced its online marketing platforms Tesco.com and Tesco Direct to give the next generation shopping experience I.e online shopping. It has also come up with apps compatible with ios to ease the shopping experience of the customers. Driv-thrus , in – store innovaitons like scand u shop , electronic shelf edge labels and many more are the examples of tesco's innovative strengths.
For easy shopping for customers tesco also has many floor plans ranging from Express which consists of only groceries and has an area of 600 sqft. To Home plu plans which have non-food items and cover upto 50000sqft .another interesting fact is that if one would surf through the website of tesco we could see the recipes of dishes by famous chefs based occassions.
Tesco has a great scope in expanding its business by using its current strategies and plans. However it must make suitable amendments and adaptions to its plans to suit local ideologies and trends.
With increasing businesses there is an increase in competition that must be taken care of. Tesco must also cnsider the positioning of the prevelant competitors like Aldi Walmart and also try to analyse what makes them desirable.
There is no solution without a problem .Expansion also brings in more problems due to increase in area of oprtns. This might make the company to increase its channels of supply thus weakening the integrity of the firm . Therefore it must carefully design its expansion strategy and ensure that it must not lose the quality of its services.
Tesco must also pay attention to the local trends and then act accordingly . Neglection of these was the main reason for the failure of fresh and easy Neighbourhood in the US. The customers were not adaptable to the british style of shopping .
Tesco involves many research projects to analyse the customers' purchasing trends. For example it found out that the bottom 25% of the customers represented only 2% of the sales whereas the top 5% of them represented 20% of the sales.It also estimates the time spent by customers on particular type of products by analyzing their purchases
Tesco is also an expert in providing personalised experiences to people . It introduced Clubcard to bring customers together and also gives personalised vouchers to customers based on the research analysis.
Tesco has used social media to its full extent for its advertisement and also for it to connect with its customers. This a glimpse of the facebook pages of tesco
Tesco has also many plans and strategies to create a comfortable shopping experieence. The one – in front plan is an example for this . For instance if there are more than one customers at a single checkout counter then another will be opened.
