Tesco is a global organisation that is the UK’s top retailer, with over 6000 stores in 14 different countries; its marketing team is massive.

Marketing teams must look in to specific segments (audiences), market structures, the position of the market and their objectives. They will then look into how they can approach their audience and promote what they have to offer.

For example if marketing were looking to promote Tesco’s range of fresh fruit, particularly to children below the age of 12 due to the rising population of overweight children, they may advertise on the television in the day time on channels that are popular with children. This would be effective as more children watch television in the day time, on the channels that they are most likely to watch means they will see Tesco’s advert more than other market would and they would increase demand and sales of the range of fruits. This will contribute to the overall principle as it means that the organisation is growing.
Another of Tesco’s aims is “To build
