The Problem
To inform the strategy for Clubcard’s international digital presence, Tesco wanted to understand how customers interact with Clubcard and other loyalty cards across all touchpoints and channels in four key international markets – the UK, Korea, Thailand and Poland.

Our Approach
REO sought to determine where digital could most effectively fill (offline) gaps and therefore improve the overall multichannel customer experience. We adopted a two-step approach to achieve this.
Firstly, we produced an international multilingual quantitative survey to build on existing attitudinal data and provide a picture of motivations and behaviours for each market.
Secondly, we conducted one-to-one in-depth UX interactive sessions with users from each of the 4 key international markets. To explore the current offering, preferences and needs, and the most effective models for engaging target audiences, we presented users with different interfaces and stimulus materials.
Outcome
Tesco wanted to gain insights, not just into usage and attitude, but details of interactions (micro-steps) at different touchpoints both online and offline, to understand where digital could best improve customer experience.
The two-stage approach to the research generated a wealth of detailed insight and recommendations that the Clubcard team is using to inform its digital strategy in the markets.
