•
A CRM system supports the following marketing applications:
Sales force automation (SFA). Sales representatives are supported in
their account management through tools to arrange and record customer
visits.
Customer service management. Representatives in contact centres
respond to customer requests for information by using an intranet to
access databases containing information on the customer, products and
previous queries.
Managing the sales process. This can be achieved through e-commerce
sites, or in a B2B context by supporting sales representatives by
recording the sales process (SFA).
Campaign management. Managing ad, direct mail, e-mail and other
campaigns.
Analysis. Through technologies such as data warehouses and
approaches such as data mining, which are explained later in the
chapter, customers’ characteristics, their purchase behaviour and
campaigns can be analysed in order to optimize the marketing mix.

Tesco
The strategic decisions covered in this PowerPoint provide a useful framework for summarizing
the strategic approaches adopted by Tesco.com:
• Decision 1: Market and product development strategies.
Tesco has used the Internet to extend its market into new product markets, such as financial
services, white goods and DVD rentals. While these are promoted through the store, the
web provides a wider choice of products, more detailed information about products and a
method of purchase. The internet can also support entry into new geographical markets.
• Decision 2: Business and revenue model strategies.
New revenue sources are available through extending the product range online as explained
above, and also with new digital revenue streams such as those for music downloads and eDiets. Tesco also supports advertising on its site of related product such as financial
services.
• Decision 3: Target market strategy.
Tesco.com has a broad market of customer types, so it is less relevant for them to use online
to selectively target these with communications. However, the article explains how Tesco
has used the web and e-mail to target more closely through targeting different lifecycle
groups – these are customers who are grouped according to their level of adoption of online
service. Tesco also uses the web to target specific requirements such as Diets and Financial
Services through search engine marketing.

Slide 9.27
Tesco
• Decision 4: Positioning and differentiation strategy (including the marketing mix).
Tesco offers some unique online promotions and lower online prices for select products
such as financial services which could attract a percentage discount when purchased online.
It appears not to use the service elements of the mix for positioning beyond the slogan ‘You
Shop, We Drop’. But attention has been paid to improving the customer experience through
usability activities and reduction of download times.
The marketing mix which is covered in Chapter 5 is also suitable for assessing some of the
tactical elements of Tesco.com strategy.
• Product
• Price
• Place
• Promotion
• Process, People and Physical evidence
• Decision 5: Multi-channel distribution strategy.
This is straightforward. Tesco.com has taken the decision to distribute Internet orders via
stores unlike some rivals such as Ocado (www.ocado.com) who have setup distribution
channels.

Slide 9.28
Tesco
• Decision 6: Multi-channel communications strategy.
This is not referred to in the article – this describes the mix between online
and offline communications tools for driving visitors to the site. Offline
communications in store and through direct mail are clearly important for
attracting visitors to the site.
• Decision 7: Online communications mix and budget.
Again, this is not mentioned, although the importance of e-mail marketing for
customer communications is apparent.
• Decision 8: Organizational capabilities (7S).
Tesco has achieved focus online by creating a separate ‘Tesco.com’ brand
and a separate division headed by Wade Gery.
Read Boots uses CRM technology to get closer to its customers
• The case shows how marketers at the UK chemist Boots use the
customer purchase history data collected through its Boots Advantage
Card loyalty card programmes to improve marketing.
• Note that this e-business application is independent from its retail site at
www.wellbeing.com, which it uses to sell a selection of its products.

Questions
• What different types of searching behaviour
are exhibited by online users and what are the
implications for someone responsible for traffic
building on a site?
• Outline four different methods of building web
site traffic
Dave Chaffey, E-Business and E-Commerce Management, 3rd Edition © Marketing Insights Ltd 2007
Slide 9.30
Answer
1
Two main types are:
• directed searching – structured searching using
search engines; so registration on most popular
search engines and techniques to boost position in
listing important
• undirected searching – typically based on links; so
link-building campaign is important
2
• Online – search engine registration
• Online – link building/reciprocal links
• Offline – ads placed on TV or print
• Online/offline – PR media mentions
