Abstract
This article proposes that a complementary relationship exists between the formalised nature
of digital loyalty card data, and the informal nature of small business market orientation. A
longitudinal, case-based research approach analysed this relationship in small firms given access
to Tesco Clubcard data. The findings reveal a new-found structure and precision in small firm
marketing planning from data exposure; this complemented rather than conflicted with an
intuitive feel for markets. In addition, small firm owners were encouraged to include employees
in marketing planning.
