Nearly half of ASDA’s customers have started buying Christmas presents in September, to help spread the cost of Christmas.   ASDA believes a third of shoppers are planning to spend less than last year, as it adds a dedicated Christmas gift shop.

InternetRetailing.net says “The impact of the credit crunch is still hitting consumers according to a new survey from Asda which has found that almost half the grocer’s shoppers are already buying Christmas gifts. Of those, 75% say that it’s to lighten the financial burden of Christmas and spread the festive costs.”

A third of shoppers are also planning to spend considerably less than last year, with 80% of those hoping to spend up to £250 less this year. “The average spend on just Christmas presents in 2008 was £320 per person,” says Asda, “meaning consumers are planning to make considerable cut backs this year.”

In response, Asda has launched a dedicated online Christmas Shop that includes gift ideas and rolled back prices on Christmas items such as port and cognac.

“With only three more pay days until Christmas, many of our customers have started their festive shopping earlier than ever in a bid to spread the costs this year,” says Asda’s Jennifer England. “People might think we’re crazy for selling gifts already, but our customers are telling us it’s what they want so we’re doing all we can to help them.”

“By spreading the cost of Christmas and buying gifts early, our customers are making sure that they can have a Christmas to remember whilst avoiding any last minute credit card splurges that will leave them paying off the bill well into 2010,” she added.

“New research shows that, while 11% of consumers regularly buy groceries online, 83% like to be able to see and touch fresh produce before making a purchase and 66% say they prefer not to buy fresh food over the web as they are concerned about use-by dates.

These findings will, to some extent, reach beyond groceries. How many men don’t shop for clothes on the web because they’re not sure about fit? And would you buy jewellery or a painting or a potted plant sight unseen? It’s clear there’s a lot more business to be had if we just keep working to calm consumers’ fears with new technologies, innovative ways of putting products into their hands, and ever-friendlier returns policies.”

Founded in 1869 Sainsbury’s is now the 3rd largest supermarket in the UK (according to the Taylor Nelson Sofres rankings published in January 2008),  with a market share of 16.4% compared to Tesco’s 31.5%, ASDA’s 16.7% and Morrison’s 11.4%.

With an emphasis on a higher quality grocery offering compared to its other large rivals, Sainsbury’s currently operates 785 hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores. It also operates Sainsbury’s Bank, which sells financial services, and is a joint venture with HBOS; Sainsbury’s Online internet shopping services; and has a property portfolio worth £8.6 billion (as of March 2007).

According to CACI, as of 2006, Sainsbury’s has market dominance in 8 postcode areas; TQ (Torquay), SN (Swindon), GU (Guildford), RH (Redhill), DA (Dartford), SE (South East London), EN (Enfield) and WV (Wolverhampton).
It is particularly strong in London and the South-East, where it is based, and although it has a national store portfolio, it is biased towards the South-East.

Sainsbury’s operates an internet shopping service branded as “Sainsbury’s Online”. To use this service customers choose their grocery items online. Pickers then collect the required items which are delivered to customers from a local store by van. This is available to about 75% of the UK population. The service is run from larger stores which carry the full product range – over 100 stores operate an Online service.

It was previously called ‘Sainsbury’s to You’ and ‘Sainsbury’s entertain You’, and prior to that it was called ‘Sainsbury’s Orderline’.

Sainsbury’s staff will now deliver your groceries to your door, however prior to September 2007, and as was common with other UK supermarkets with an online shopping and delivery service such as Tesco or Ocado, Sainsbury’s Online delivery staff would carry items direct to customers’ kitchens.

Marie, website editor for Waitrose.com explains: “WaitroseDeliver and Ocado are part of a range of services designed to make shopping at Waitrose even easier. You can order online and choose groceries direct from your local store, or choose from the selection available from our partner Ocado.

Ocado allows Waitrose shoppers the convenience of buying their groceries online and having them home delivered to their door.

Ocado believes ”that you should be able to shop for a fair price without compromising on quality or service. As well as our celebrated Tesco price match* on branded goods, we feature an ever-changing range of special discounts and seasonal offers on our website, and are even trialing a pre-pay delivery scheme to help you save even more on your weekly shop.
