  • 1 Tesco's Clubcard Customer Relationship Management
    Tesco’s Clubcard Customer Relationship Management Programme: The challenges of coming to terms with a changing market Synopsis For almost two decades, Tesco was seen to be one of the most successful retail organisations in the world, with a pioneering Clubcard-based loyalty scheme and the development of a strategic CRM (Customer Relationship Management) programme that provided the company with the basis for true customer insight and greater brand engagement. However, in 2011 the company began to suffer as the result of a more competitive environment and a series of internal pressures. In 2012, it issued its first profit warning in 20 years and saw £5 billion wiped off its market value. Within this case study, we examine Tesco’s spectacular growth, the development of its highly successful Clubcard, and some of the problems that began to emerge after the departure of its boss, Terry Leahy. Background In 2003 Management Today voted Tesco the UK’s Most Admired Company and its boss, Sir Terry Leahy, Most Admired Leader. In 2005, the company again picked up the two awards, a feat that had not been achieved since Management Today, in conjunction with Mercer Consulting, launched the Most Admired Companies scheme in 1989. In doing this, they also won outright two of the nine criteria used to judge companies: Capacity to Innovate and Use of Corporate Assets. In 2009, the company was ranked by The Financial Times as the 106th most valuable company in the world. However, in 2010, Terry Leahy, one of the principal architects of the company’s success, announced that he would retire the following year and, within two days, £778 million was wiped off the company’s stock market value.

  • No.1 Retailer in Britain Uses 'Clubcard' to Thwart Wal-Mart by Cecilie Rohwedder from Wall Street Journal, 6 June 2006
    No.1 Retailer in Britain Uses 'Clubcard' to Thwart Wal-Mart by Cecilie Rohwedder from Wall Street Journal, 6 June 2006 (c) 2005Dow Jones & Company, Inc.Reproduced with permission of copyright owner.Further reproduction or distribution is prohibited without permission. CHESHUNT, England -- When Wal-Mart Stores Inc. entered the British market in 1999 by buying a chain of stores here, many expected it to dominate. Instead, Wal-Mart's largest non-American operation has been struggling recently, and its top local rival is thriving. That rival is Tesco PLC, Britain's largest retailer. Its big weapon is information about its customers. Tesco has signed up 12 million Britons for its Clubcard program, giving cardholders discounts in exchange for their name, address and other personal information. The Clubcard has helped boost Tesco's market share in groceries to 31%, nearly double the 16% held by Wal-Mart's Asda chain, according to market-research firm Taylor Nelson Sofres. The data let Tesco tailor promotions to individual shoppers and figure out quickly how new initiatives are working. After Tesco introduced Asian herbs, cooking oil and other ethnic foods in neighborhoods with many Indians and Pakistanis, the data showed the new products were also popular with affluent white customers. The company quickly expanded the rollout. Tesco's computers often turn up counterintuitive results. Shoppers who buy diapers for the first time at a Tesco store can expect to receive coupons by mail for baby wipes, toys -- and beer. Tesco's analysis showed that new fathers tend to buy more beer because they are home with the baby and can't go to the pub.
