2. Why do you think Tesco decided to use the brand name ‘Fresh & Easy’ for its US stores when the Tesco brand has been used for all its other international activities? Ans.2. Tesco used the brand name “Fresh & Easy” as a marketing strategy which best describes the products being offered to its chosen market segment. Market research would have also indicated that the name “Fresh & Easy” wo uld attract the growing number of health and environmentally conscious Americans.
3. Why do you think that Tesco will not achieve its original target for store openings by 2010? Ans.3. The financial and economic crisis which hit the USA in the mid-2007 played a major role in Tesco not being able to achieve its original target for store
openings by 2010. Tesco continuously redefines and restructures its store model as it responds to market and consumer demands and this has also contributed to a slowdown in the number of stores being opened. 4. How do you think that Tesco should define ‘success’ in terms of its entry into the US market. Should Tesco put a time limit on its market entry activity? If so, what might that time limit be? Ans.4. Tesco’s success should be measured on the profitable of its overall operations in the USA. The company undertook extensive market and consumer research prior to commencement of operations in the US, although it has admitted that the research might have been flawed. Not with standing the company continues to redefine and modify its store module and adjust its prices as it response to changes in the economic climate and market conditions, all in an effort to increase sales. Increase sale will result in increase profits. From all indications it appears that Tesco is instituting all measures to ensure that its US venture becomes a success. Yes I think they should have the time limit on its market entry activity and in a planed way. Time limit can be of 1 year in this phase the company will get the time to understand the market in a better way.
