VULNERABILITIES: DATABASE MARKETING
1. Difficulty of getting employees to be customer oriented and use the available information.

2. Changing of customer attitude towards privacy and security.
3. Escalating costs of maintaining and mining data.

Possible Solution • Give training and incentives to employees • Conveying to the customers the advantages of sharing their data and promising them not to sell it to 3rd parties • Dealing with multiple vendors
10

VULNERABILITIES: CONCENTRATION IN DEVELOPED MARKETS
TESCO earns a major portion of its revenues from the developed markets of Europe and USA (more 75% revenue from UK alone) where economic slowdown and credit crisis have changes the spending rate and affected growth.

Possible Solution 1. To come-up with smaller pocket-friendly packages of SKUs. 2. To cut the cost on frivolities and pass on the benefits to customers. 3. Launch more “Value stores”. 4. Aggressive launch in new geographies- African and Asian countries.

VULNERABILITIES: PRODUCT RECALLS

12

VULNERABILITIES: PRODUCT RECALLS
• Glass pieces found in Stella Artois Beer bottle packs and defects in several other products like toys and baby dresses forced Tesco to recall these products. • This led to a severe dent in their brand image and resulted in a lower market share and Tesco must take corrective measures and ensure that such a blunder doesn’t occur in future.

Possible Solution • Along with apologies to affected customers, we would replace their defective items and give them free gifts to earn back our goodwill. • We would sue for damages, those suppliers that provided defective items. We would also ensure that we collaborate with only reliable suppliers.
13

VULNERABILITIES: COMPETITION
• Well established retailers in new areas and new entrants in TESCO’s territories can have a negative effect on TESCO’s market share. • Eg. opening of Wal-Mart's new chain of market side small groceries are meant to pose a direct challenge to TESCO’s Fresh & Easy stores in South West US.

Possible Solution Customer retention by schemes like : • free home deliveries, • increase in loyalty discounts • ad-campaigns projecting our leadership in e-grocery.
