Tesco's Competitors
Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's are much bigger stores than the discount
stores like Aldi and Netto. This means the bigger supermarkets will be
able to sell more goods and gain a bigger profit. If Aldi and Netto
were to make their stores bigger they would be able to compete with
Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's in the sales department. This will mean
that they will be able to contain more goods and sell more to gain a
larger profit. It will give them the opportunity to sell more
different types of foods and different brands. The larger supermarkets
are now using diversification and sell more different types of
products e.g. electrical goods and clothing. Expansion of the smaller
supermarkets would also give them the opportunity to diversify their
product range and start competing with the bigger ones.
Recently I have noticed that Aldi have started diversifying in their
product range slightly. They now have their own sporting make and sell
camping equipment, sporting equipment and electrical appliances etc.
This will increase their market share and make them more competitive.
Tesco have now set up their own mobile phone networks, bank, insurance
company and clothing company. Asda and Sainsbury's are now attempting
to follow in Tesco's footsteps in order to continue competing with
Tesco. The smaller discount companies would also have to invest in
these services if they wanted to compete with them.
Another reason why Tesco consider their competitors to be Asda and
Sainsbury's and not Netto and Aldi is that the two supermarket groups
aim their products at different people. Netto and Aldi are renowned
for being 'Discount...

prestige goods, therefore make a large profit on them.
The large supermarkets use going rate pricing, this means that they
are immediately competing with the other supermarkets with a certain
type of product.
The large supermarkets use loss-leading pricing to make the customers
look around the supermarket. The smaller companies should use this if
they want to compete. The supermarket staff should put certain objects
in popular places to make them buy them while they are buying the
chosen cheap product. The large supermarkets use this effectivaly.
The larger companies have extra facilities (that you have to pay to
use) in the supermarkets to gain extra profit. They have things like
café's and newsagents to make extra money on top of the money made
inside the main store.

In today’s world even with the economy suffering and individual income declining, the food industry is still up and running. Chain restaurants, mom and pop establishments, and fast food restaurants that are learning to market their products cheaper and more reasonable to the consumer are still going strong in the United States. They are offering healthier meals due to the consumer wanting to become healthier. They have their ups and downs like any business but are learning to give the consumer what they need and desire.

It is a right decision to exit from the United States for Tesco. Firstly, Tesco faces the huge pressure of competition in the United States. Tesco is the world’s third largest supermarket group, but America has the world’s largest supermarket group: Walmart and a lot of native supermarket brand such as Costco and Trades Hoes. These supermarkets in almost cover all parts of the United States. Although Tesco use small format grocery stores as their business strategy so that can compete with native American supermarket brand. However, Americans prefer to shop in large supermarket stores to ensure varieties and quality. So this kind of mid-retail stores do not have the market in America. This is also because Tesco ignores the aspect of social when they analysis the American market. Tesco does not understand the American spending. There is a large difference between American customer and British customer. A store environment, service and sales staff can effect consumer judgements, but Fresh & Easy located in these areas are too simplistic such as they rely heavily on self-service tills, which caused the company brand looks very weak. On another aspect, Fresh & Easy pay attention to California, Nevada, and Arizona, but these is a problem of economic recession in these regions. Tesco choose this time to enter America, which make company take the risk of subprime crisis and the subsequent global economic downturn. Except this, Fresh & Easy do not have good marketing tool to attract customers. For example, some supermarket chains use coupons to attack customers such as
