"Our mission is to earn and grow the lifetime loyalty of our customers."

- Sir Terry Leahy, Chief Executive Officer (Tesco), quoted in Tesco's 1998 Annual Report.

"They (Tesco) know more than any firm I have ever dealt with how their customers actually think, what will impress and upset them, and how they feel about grocery shopping."1

- Jim Barnes, Executive Vice President of Bristol Group, a Canada-based Marketing Communications and Information firm, and a CRM expert.

"The whole philosophy is in balancing the business in favor of the customer. That comes down to a mixture of company culture and customer insight."2

- Crawford Davidson, Director (Clubcard Loyalty Program), Tesco.

A Master at CRM

Every three months, millions of people in the United Kingdom (UK) receive a magazine from the country's number one retailing company, Tesco. Nothing exceptional about the concept - almost all leading retailing companies across the world send out mailers/magazines to their customers.

These initiatives promote the store's products, introduce promotional schemes and contain discount coupons. However, what set Tesco apart from such run-of-the-mill initiatives was the fact that it mass-customized these magazines. Every magazine had a unique combination of articles, advertisements related to Tesco's offerings, and third-party advertisements.
