Introduction
Tesco is one of the most powerful U.K retailers; it is known as a company that offers value for money, customer loyalty and aims to provide different variety of foods to express the diversity of cultures we have in the community today. This isn’t just to keep the business going, but to increase the range of customers so that the strength of the sales continue to increase on a large scale. This has already worked well, as their two main food brands, ‘Finest’ and ‘Everyday Value ranges’, already sell over £1 billion per year producing more for their ‘high value ‘brand. Tesco has made use of expanding their 6,748 stores, by creating small side stores such as Tesco express to make shopping more convenient for customers who live

The Tesco app along with the Tesco e-commerce site is a ‘modern’, quick and easy way that customers can access what they want and when they want to. On top of this, it allows access for people who can’t always reach the main store physically due to disability or ill health. If Tesco appear to be a fitting and thoughtful service that takes notice of people’s needs and situations, their public image will be seen as a considerate and attentive one. Customers are more likely to be drawn to this service if they are shown care. Furthermore, the creation of small side stores such as Tesco express and Tesco Metro has made shopping more convenient for customers who live in local neighbourhoods. With Tesco’s increasing size and facilities, they can take advantage of small and local areas that don’t have other types of retail shops in that area, differentiating them from other competitors. For example, If a customer is in a hurry to buy toiletries and there is a local Tesco shop around, they are likely to go there then having to travel all the way to an Asda in …show more content…
A ‘growing’ business implies that they want to continue expanding strongly in all areas whether that be in the amount of stores, amount of staff or the range of products on offer. If they carry on being a large business, they can create positions that will provide more ‘opportunities’ for the jobless in areas where employability is very low. This has already proved successful as Tesco have teamed up with the prince’s trust to launch an employment programme for the unemployed youth which opened up 6500 new jobs for them. This aspect is important to them as a business because they are not just opening up more opportunities for the public, they are also developing individuals so that they gain necessary skills that can help increase the growth of the business. Since Tesco want to offer ‘something new every time’ it can be done by the different individuals they employ. For example, Tesco have come up with an idea called: ‘ideas Storm’ which encourages staff to come up with challenging solutions to Tesco’s business problems. As every staff they employ will have come from a different background, they will see and view things in a different perspective, bringing in new ideas. This in turn creates more productivity allowing for continuous ideas to always be made that can help improve the
Online Stores Tesco wants go into other markets because they would be bringing in more customers, which are going to increase profit. They also have another aim which is to expand internationally because they already operate within the Europe. They have to set themselves new aims and objectives that are harder to achieve as it’s the expanding further.

We all know Tesco as a food retailer, and we know that they are in constant competition with other retailers such as Sainsburys and Asda, yet we do not know much about what goes on beyond the shelves and the tills, the marketing plans and the day to day tactics that have to be devised to stay the number one food retailer in the United kingdom today.
For organisations to be truly marketed-orientated they must exceed the value offered by their competitors; and at the same time, the overall goals of the organisation must be achieved. Additionally, for marketing to be carried out effectively and efficiently throughout the organisation, then it must involve analysing, planning, implementation, and control (Kottler and Armstrong, 2012). According to Kottler and Armstrong (2012, p. 5), the modern marketing concept can be expressed as “the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return”. Tesco’s, it appears, may have managed to successfully achieve this.
