10.1. "rodu,t %i6e ,y,le

5usinesses always trying to manage their !roducts ma)e them a$ailale to

customer all the time, and ful"ll customer;s needs. E$ery indi$idual !roduct

launched y Tesco has four stages Introduction, >rowth, 0aturity and "nally

decline.

=or long term mar)eting !lan it;s im!ortant for Tesco to )now its !roduct life



cycle which !roducts can ma)e more !ro"ts, I chose some of !roduct for my

analysis for e7am!le Tesco grated cheese in growth stage as its low fat and

customers are health conscious, as well they don;t ha$e time to grate chees

and contrarily Tesco lard is in declining stage.

Introduction stage:Its $ery "rst stage when !roduct is launched, initially Tesco doesn;t focus on

!ro"ts instead they are !romoting goods. In &%3 Tesco launches organic

health ears and then started its mar)eting and !romotional sales at Tesco

e7tra store across the UK. *=ood 5e$, &%3

ecline:Bue to mar)et downturn customers sto! uying !roducts due to which !ro"ts

are decreased as we discussed ao$e Tesco;s lard is at decline stage as

customer are reluctant to uy, so the !roduct should discontinue and call

ac).

1+.2. a# analysis

!urrent situation Tesco is currently dominated in UK grocery industry with &2- UK mar)etshare and one of the strong rands. Tesco is declining its sales that arearound N3 illion. Tesco is largest retailer in >rocery %st !osition in UK andthird !osition in 6$erall world mar)et with %+- mar)et share.

"8ecti%es:

Tesco is ma)ing strategy to get its mar)et share ac) so as a im!lementationits strategy it change its higher management and trying to in$est in mar)et.In its forecasting Tesco reduce its sales N% illion as com!ared to !re$iousyears it was more than N3 illion. Tesco is committed to increased sales andE5T' y &%. Tesco is e7!ecting to continue grow in future years, so Tesco aims to ful"llcustomer;s needs, cut !rices and o:er ful"ll customer demand.

ecoendations:In order to achie$e its oGecti$es Tesco should in$est in small#scale stores inlocal area. >rocery mar)et is now turning into hy!ermar)et. Customer

!refers to uy where they "nd low !rices.

1+.3. AnsoB &atriC'nso: matri7 is useful tool used to identify o!!ortunities for e7!ansion orgrowth, es!ecially for those com!anies who are su:ering !rolems li)e Tescois declining its mar)et share, so this matri7 hel!s Tesco to identify whetherthey should de$elo! !roducts or need mar)et e7!ansion.

&ar'et e%elo#ent:

Tesco is de$elo!ing its mar)et y entering in new geogra!hical mar)ets e.g.India, U4 and UK.Tesco is entering into India that has %.& illion !o!ulations,so its huge and lucrati$e retail mar)et for Tesco. *This is 0oney, &%%

'nother mar)et where Tesco is entering is U4 retail mar)et although Tescofaced losses in U4 mar)et ut with new strategy they can success. *Huge inc,&%3

&ar'et Penetration: Tesco is o!erating in UK core mar)et with e7isting !roductsF main oGect of

mar)et !enetration is Tesco wants to increase its current mar)et share ofcurrent !roducts. This can e achie$ed y o:ering low !rices and a goodmar)eting cam!aign through TJ ads and !romotion strategies. *The>uardian, &%3

i%ersi@cation: Tesco is not only increasing its !roducts in same mar)et ut it is entering into



unrelated di$ersi"cationF =inancial an)ing ser$ices is entirely new mar)etand new !roduct for Tesco. It is a ris)y mar)et Tesco needs to carefullymanage this !roduct in case of failure Tesco faces a ig loss.

Product de%elo#ent Tesco selling new !roduct in e7isting mar)et, Tesco moile is an e7am!le ofProduct de$elo!ment, and Tesco fuel. Tesco is eroding its !ro"ts and losing mar)et share so I recommend Tescoshould focus on mar)et de$elo!ment and mar)et !enetrations throughcustomer satisfaction and further in$estment in 0ar)eting. *This is 0oney,&%3

1+.,. =STD &atriC

5C> matri7 is tool to assess indi$idual !roducts !ortfolio. It was de$elo!edy 5oston Consultant >rou! in early %2;s.I recommend this model in mymar)eting !lan to assess !roduct !osition, which !roduct needs morein$estment, more ad$ertisement and which should e called o:.

Stars: Tesco;s !roducts that ha$e high mar)et share and high mar)et growth, such!roducts needs hea$y in$estment, although they earned high income utnow they their growth is so slow and turn into cash cows. Tesco "nest range!roducts are 4tar !roducts they ha$e high mar)et share and high growth.

!ash cows: Tesco;s !roducts with low mar)et growth ut high mar)et share, these!roducts generate hea$y cash ut need not too much in$estment ecausethey ha$e already large mar)et share. Tesco wine, grocery might cash cow!roducts as they are generating enough !ro"ts.

Question ar' or Pro"le !hild:

Those !roducts with low mar)et share ut high mar)et share, these !roductsneed more cash to sur$i$e in mar)et and hold its mar)et share. (ewlylaunched Tesco moile could e a !rolem child so Tesco should reconsideraout Tesco moile and con$ert it into 4tar !roduct otherwise it )ee!contriuting in Tesco ad !erformance.

ogs Tesco;s !roduct neither they ha$e high mar)et share nor mar)et growth,



such !roducts needs enough resources ut not guarantee to earn money. Tesco;s lard is a Bog !roduct.

I recommend Tesco that they should reconsider their !roduct !ortfolio andcall o: dog !roducts ecause they only consuming com!any;s resources and

!rolem child !roducts should e con$erted into star !roducts. 4o Tescoshould )ee! continuing its mar)eting cam!aigns.

ecoended strategy1+./. , P;s

&ar'eting &iC strategy:0ar)eting mi7 is generally used y com!anies as a mar)eting tool to target

its customers and mar)et. It descries di:erent )inds of choices. Tesco has toma)e in the whole !rocess of ringing a !roduct or ser$ice to mar)et. The 3Pare one way !roaly the est#)nown way of de"ning the mar)eting mi7,and was "rst e7!ressed in %2N y E 1 0cCarthy. Tesco need to re!osition it rand image and !roducts, Tesco needs to !ut theright !roduct in the right !lace, at the right !rice, at the right time.

Products=or strategic mar)eting !lane it;s im!ortant for Tesco to de"ne its !roductline what they are o:ering. Tesco is o:ering more than 3 !roducts in its3<%% worldwide stores including %& organic food items ranging from eefand garlic to chocolate and salad *Baily0ail, &%. Its !roducts include food,non#food, clothing, "nancial ser$ices, consumer electronics and other goods. Tesco;s oGecti$e is to achie$e com!etiti$e ad$antage y o:ering its !roductsalance of quality and low !rice to all consumers and want to o:er all rangeof !roduct once customer enters into Tesco store doesn;t need to goanywhere to uy another !roduct. Tesco should o:er !roducts that suit forlocal culture li)e china so they should o:er own randed stores in china.

Price:

Price is im!ortant mar)eting strategy for organiMationsF /etail industry is$ery com!etiti$e industry so Tesco needs to de$elo! customer friendly!ricing strategy. Tesco;s !rice strategy is on ased of its mar)eting messageSE$ery little hel!sR. Customers who want low !rice !roducts and argainingare lured away y 'ldi and Lidl;s low !rice *The Economist, &%3.



Tesco wants !rices to e stale, we want them to e logical and, we wantthem to e com!etiti$e. *Tesco PLC, &%8

Place

Place is an im!ortant element of 0ar)eting mi7, Tesco needs to decide which!lace is est for their !roductsF so Tesco is using a!!arently two channels forsale its online $ia its wesite and o: through 3<3% worldwide stores./ecently Tesco went into Goint $enture with I(BI';4 largest rand T'T'>rou!;s Trent Hy!ermar)et ltd. Tesco had !ic)ed u! 8- sta)e in TrentHy!ermar)et Ltd. This 1oint $enture gi$es Tesco a com!etiti$e edge to enterIndia;s lucrati$e multi rand retail segment. *To! (ews, &%3

Tesco s!ent a huge amount on refresh !rograms on its stores, they rein$eston ig stores to insure that stores ful"ll the needs of customers once they$isit the store.

Prootion: Tesco;s !romotional strategy is connected with its !rice strategy as Tescotoo) decision to cut its !rices to ma7imiMe sale. Promotional oGect can eachie$ed through mar)eting, media attention, and ad$ertisement. Tescorecently in$est one illion on its rand image mar)eting as well its onlineclic) and ric)s.6ne of the im!ortant !romotional tools is clu card that is more now e$erefore this. Clu crad !ro$iding deferential ser$ices to TescoR customers,they can choose unloc) greater $alues. 'round +8 million clu cards issued

In new mar)eting strategy Tesco should reconsider its 3 !;s, its criticalsuccess factor for rand re$i$al of Tesco. 4!eci"cally Tesco should cut its!rice and more in$est on !romotions through more discounts and mar)eting.
