•
Tesco used relationship marketing to promote the club card. They did this by offering the card
to it’s existing customers and offering them points for every £1 they spent. This encouraged
customers to return (i.e become loyal). Tesco did this to build a relationship with its
customers. The club card records all products a customer buys, this enables Tesco to offer
them related goods. It also means Tesco have customers contact details on their database so
can contact them direct with details of new products and services. The card was promoted in
store through leaflets, application form and by check out staff. It was also part of an
advertising campaign which saw Prunella Scales collect points and swap them for treats. The
Club Card enables Tesco to use relationship marketing more effectively and allow them to
build on the existing relationship they have with all their customers by selling them more
products and services.
Subway used relationship marketing by offering a loyalty card, where customers could collect
stamps each time they visited and earn free products. This was designed to build on their
existing relationship but did not allow for the relationship to be used to market new
products. New products could only be offered if the customer returned to store. Subway
have recently introduced a loyalty card similar to the Tesco club card, once they build up a
database of the customers and their spending habits, they will be able to use the relationship
to promote new and existing products direct to the customer in their own home. This could
encourage them to come into the shop.
Relationship marketing is used by both Subway and Tesco to build a relationship with the
customer, encourage and reward loyalty, whilst trying to get them to buy more products.
Tesco use this technique more frequently and effectively than Subway but this is because
they have many more products and services to offer, so can build on the existing relationship
