Marketing Strategy Of Tesco Direct

Tesco is the largest UK store, founded in 1999 by Cohen. It is currently among the principal retailers in the world (Akridge, 2012). The company has undergone different steps to put up with customer demand (Piercy, 2012). Because of these steps, changes have occurred that have increased customer satisfaction (consortium, 2006). This has introduced self checkout systems which have increased sales and save more time while shopping (Jones 2008). These systems also bring challenges (infrastructure network 2002). Different solutions can be used to counter these problems

Moreover Tesco could increase its sales to existing markets, for example, the premium products that currently sell in all Tesco’s.

There are three fundamental rivals of Tesco and the superstore sector including, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, and Morrison’s and they apply multiple tactics independently to attracting the customers. The strategy of Sainsbury’s for its customers is on delivering an effective service quality, whereas ASDA is engaged in procuring value for its customers and these competitive attempts employed by the Tesco’s rivals are creating the issue of managing price and quality of its commodities (Which, 2012). Moreover, the customers of Tesco independently have an insignificant amount of strength in terms of the entire corporate strategy of the company (Tesco, 2011a). Nevertheless, customers jointly exposed meaningful strength because of the little expenditure and convenience in transferring to another brand (Tesco, 2011a). The past records of Tesco showed that the vendors appeared reluctant to trade with Tesco, which ultimately influenced Tesco to reduce prices as the company deals with numerous agriculturists instead a sole broad supplier (Independent, 2011). Nowadays it is very complex for non-established retailers to ensure survival in the marketplace because of the significant control of Tesco on the marketplace which taught newly entrants to modify the behavior they execute trading involving the improved part of cooperatives and they reveal the risk of fresh companies and this will be a fundamental aspect for Tesco to determine its expected competitive strategy

We can also relate corporate strategy with strategic marketing as follow ( Nancy Upton, Jan 2001)

Since acquiring number one ranking in 1996, Tesco has developed a successful multiformat strategy that has accelerated its advantage. Its UK sales are now 71% larger than Sainsbury’s. Also the Competition Commission’s report makes it very difficult for a competitor to challenge its scale and has effectively scuppered Wal-Mart’s chances of stealing UK leadership. Therefore, Tesco is in an enormously strong position in its domestic market.

First is buyer power. The buyer power for Tesco is high because Tesco have a lot of competitor. This is because customers will have lots of hypermarket to choose, for example AEON, Giant, Jusco and other more. So customers may choose other hypermarket and not Tesco.

Tesco have incorporated a virtual shop for use at airports, it allows travelling passengers to utilise spare time they would have when waiting for departure by allowing them to scan barcodes and place orders for shopping through a Tesco app. The capital costs for setting this up could be quite big as creating a well working app to be functional with the virtual store may cost a significant amount, the virtual boards displaying the shop will also need to be purchased and installed. Long term it is proven to show that online sales have increased significantly and new customers have been bought into Tesco stores once used in the airport. Tesco holds their own specific department that is dedicated to finding innovative and creative ways to enhance the customer experience; this is called ‘Tesco labs’. Recently Tesco have developed their apps to work in store, so that if an item is out of stock it will be able to be scanned and delivered to the customer at a later date. They have done this to increase customer satisfaction so they are not disappointed by having their desired item out of stock, it also works positively for Tesco as it makes up for what would have been a lost sale.
