CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR TRADING STATEMENT
Monday 15 January 2001
GROUP SALES GROWTH CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE
Group sales for the seven weeks ending 6 January 2001 increased by 15.4%. This growth was driven by excellent performances from all four elements of Tesco strategy: a strong core UK, increasing non-food sales, rapidly developing international stores and expansion into retailing services.
OUTSTANDING UK GROWTH UP 10.5%
Total UK sales for this seven weeks, covering Christmas and the New Year, were up 10.5%. Compared to last year this period included one extra day's trading over the New Year. Like-for-like sales were up 6.9% driven by excellent sales volumes of 7.3%. This performance reflects determination to deliver the best offer for customers as Tesco continue to cut prices. Overall deflation was -0.4%.
STRONG INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE

International sales were up 50% over the Christmas and New Year period as a result of existing stores maturing and new store openings.

Company’s strategy of offering excellent value in non-food to customers was a resounding success this Christmas. Tesco achieved sales in all areas including 14,000 DVD players and 8,000 widescreen televisions.

How the organisational structure, culture and management style of the business affects its performance and operation and helps it to meet its objectives?
I have analysed each of the major functions of Tesco separately. However, it is the effective interaction of business functions that is essential to the success of an organisation in attaining its objectives.
Marketing
Advertising.
Tesco uses advertising in the press, on the radio as well as on television to support the company’s marketing by making the public aware of the products and services available in its stores.
The Tesco logo.
The Tesco logo is a vital part of its image. By 1995 many versions of the logo had evolved and company’s corporate identity was not focused. Company therefore began to use one single Tesco logo that is the same everywhere, on stores, letterheads, posters, lorries....
The new logo has the company name in red, the underlining in blue and the background white. However, given the cost of this change Tesco did not immediately change every logo for the sake of it, but gradually as old items were replaced, repaired, repainted, reprinted or re-designed. This means that it is taking about three years for the new logo to completely supersede all other versions.
Chef’s Club.
The Chefs' Club is an initiative which brings the best advice on food and drink to customers and aims to make shopping more enjoyable. Tesco is working with some of the country's top chefs and other experts who want to share their passion for good food and drink with customers.
Tesco Packaging Design.
Tesco has many "Own Brand" products, and in order to promote its own brand correctly Tesco has its own Packaging Design Department. Products sell for a variety of reasons; in the first instance, the visual appeal of a product is important to attract customers to the product initially, as it is only after the first purchase that the customer is attracted because of the quality of the product and its value for money.
Tesco Product Promotion.
Product promotion is the responsibility of the Tesco public relations team. The team is always involved at the planning stage of any new product or service, and its brief is to generate extensive and appropriate coverage for the new product.Tesco has three key objectives for any product promotion; these are:
· to reinforce the Tesco brand values of quality, choice, price and service
· to maintain the Tesco image as a market leader through its products and services
· to manage product issues - both positive and negative.
