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.
