TESCO has delivered its worst Christmas sales performance . Chief
executive Philip Clarke admitted he was "disappointed" with the group's
performance, which is the weakest of the four major supermarket
chains over the important trading period.
Tesco was expected to have a tougher time than smaller rivals at
Christmas due to its large clothing and home wares business which is
the area where shoppers have been cutting back most. The
supermarket launched £500m price cuts campaign the Big Price Drop in
September to reverse a trend of declining market share although it
remains twice the size of its nearest competitor Asda, with more than
30% of the UK grocery market. Some analysts argue, however, that the
marketing push has failed to capture shoppers' imaginations.
"We delivered a very good Christmas shopping experience for our
customers but in a highly promotional market, the volume response to
our increased investment into lowering prices did not offset the price
reductions," said Clarke.
