M1 - Unit 3 - Marketing Introduction - Introducing the Basics of Marketing

Introduction:
For this part of assignment I will compare similarities and differences of the marketing techniques both businesses carry out, even though Lidl and Tesco are in the same type of market, they achieve their market success in different ways.

Even though Tesco and Lidl marketing techniques are pretty similar they still have a difference from each other when they use the Ansoff Matrix, which is used when the business wants to grow or expand. Even though both businesses are nearly the same on their production and sales, they still try to be different from each other. For example, market penetration is when they want to increase market share of an existing product or promoting a new product they just released, they use strategies like bundling, advertising, promoting or offering discounts. Tesco recently created a tablet and are trying to promote it and advertise it to as many potential customers as possible where as Lidl just keeps concentrating on their current consumables and try to promote their current products which basically means market development, they just simply want to carry on what they are doing and develop their business by selling products in their existing markets.
This next marketing technique is product development, this is used by both businesses in nearly the same way because they want to introduce as many new products to their business to increase their growth which would leave to profits and business expansion however, Tesco developed the 'Hudl' which is a different type of market and Lidl does cannot compete with that market and this makes both businesses differ one from another.
Talking about Tesco and its new 'Hudl' tablet, Tesco will be struggling to find the new market in the electronics market because there are many other competitive businesses that have been already manufacturing and producing electronic goods like tablets and for Tesco this is

    To grow as an organisation Kellogg’s and Tesco will use different strategies. These include diversification where the organisation effectively enters a new market. Tesco have done this where they have gone from just selling products in their shops to selling petrol, insurance and having their own mobile network. Kellogg’s have also done this as they have gone from selling cereals to selling cereal bars, ready to eat cereal with milk and they have recently introduced crisps through their Special K range.…

    4.8 I have chosen the above organisations as they are both very similar business setups, therefore they should be slightly harder to evaluate than other businesses that I could have chosen; meaning that I will learn about what exactly happens within a business’s environment, going into detail rather than just scratching the surface. Another reason I have decided to draw comparisons between these organisations is because I have always wondered how Tesco Plc made it to the top of the retail market and how they managed to surpass all competition along the way, such as J Sainsbury Plc.…

    Tesco use the four growth strategies. They use market penetration as they are always selling the same products and services their competitors sell but for a cheaper price. This allows Tesco to get their rivals competitors and a piece of their market share. Tesco also use market development since they have expanded their market by not only selling food items but offering mobile phone services. Tesco use product development. This may be because; Tesco normally produces their own brand of food items they sell. For example Tesco sells Branded and non- branded items. This gives the customer a variety to choose from and pick an item they are happy with and also for a reasonable price. Additional Tesco use market diversification…

    Questionnaires: Questionnaires consist of a list of questions that can be used to obtain feedback such as a spoc which is used at colleges to find out information such as if a student is enjoying their course etc. The Oldham College recently gave all of the students a spoc which was to get their feedback about the college for e.g. if they feel safe and satisfied by their course. By doing a spoc the college is able to find out how many students are satisfied with their course, tutors and so on; this helps the college as they can use their research to see who’s happy and who isn’t, thereon they are able to make changes if necessary for their market plan.…

    Questionnaire have a low response rate in general, therefore Tesco Mobile shouldn’t have a high expectancy rate of receiving questionnaires back when they send them out to their customers. When questionnaires are posted people tend to just chuck them in the bin because they can't be bothered filling them in a posting it back to Tesco Mobile, even though they got a freepost envelope alongside the questionnaire. Due to the lack of response back with questionnaires you wouldn’t be able to generalise e.g if Tesco…
