Tesco is a supermarket, so their marketing techniques will be completely different to Oxfam as they will have to take an approach that requires customers to continue to spend more money within the same time period, whereas Oxfam customers will have to sponsor a small amount. In order to get customers to keep on coming back Tesco have a database that stores registered customers purchases, so for instance if a customer purchases any baby product, it will be saved on their system so that they can see how frequent the purchase these type of products and give them special offers and money off on related products.…
