The Impact of Marketing Strategies on Consumer Behaviour – A Case Study of Tesco PLC (2012)
Impact of Marketing Strategies on Consumer Behaviour Dissertation – This research dissertation highlights a problem statement which is “What are the tangible and intangible benefits the Grocery Retail Industry of UK can gain from the use of marketing strategies, a Case Study of Tesco PLC.” The basic aim of the research was to know the effectiveness of the two of the marketing strategies that are loyalty cards and the e-retailing both of which are the newer forms of marketing and doing business.
There are certain benefits attached to these marketing strategies and these have also been studied through the course of the whole research. From the introduction to the last chapter of the research everything has been covered. The methodology has been designed after the analysis of the literature and the data has been collected and analyzed with full concentration and care so that nothing is left and everything can be revealed just as said in the aims and objectives of the research.
From the findings of the research, four of the hypotheses are accepted which are H1: Loyalty cards have positive impact on consumer behaviour, H3: e-retailing have positive impact on consumer behaviour, H5: Both the types of marketing strategies are adding value to the company in the form of revenues which is a tangible benefit and H7: Both types of marketing strategies are building brand equity with Tesco PLC which is an intangible as well as tangible benefit towards the company.
In the end some of the recommendations sum up the research. This topic is very extensive as it includes much broader topic of current time that is the marketing strategy and the consumer behaviour. Marketing strategies are many which are used immensely today to attract the consumers from the competitors too. This war is between the companies and for this reason the companies come up with new strategies to gain the tangible and the intangible benefits. For this reason I wanted to know various policies of Tesco PLC because this is one of the most successful retail stores operating in UK and, indeed, the world.
