Who: Tesco
What: Tesco Pizza Subs - Pepperoni
Where: Frozen pizzas
When: Launched September 2014
How much: £1/250g
Why: Tesco is offering a slightly different take on the French bread pizza with this product, which was launched last autumn and utilises sub rolls in place of baguettes. The retailer will be hoping the launch can continue to grow own-label frozen pizza - up 4.5% year on year by value in a static overall market [Nielsen 52 w/e 11 October 2014].
Consumer verdict: These attracted a good level of pre-trial interest, with the colourful pack design and competitive £1 price point helping to promote the product. After sampling, many were impressed with the offer and considered the quality had exceeded expectations, especially at the price point. All key measure ratings were above the category norm, resulting in an overall score of 44. An affordable and convenient product to have in the freezer, these Pizza Subs were considered a good option for all the family and prompted one third of testers to claim they would buy on a regular basis. There was a high level of purchase intent, with more than 70% claiming they would ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ buy.
Pre-trial purchase: 67%
Post-trial purchase: 71%
Better than what’s out there: 47%
New and different: 47%
Overall score 44/50
