Tata Sky FACEPACK "On Time Visit"

Again, Again, Again Tata Sky come up with new service in DTH service market. Recently, a month ago Tata sky has introduced three new serivces as well as also released TVC campaign accordingly.

Really, it can say that Tata Sky are continuously working on consumers behaviour and their needs. And on that basis, introduced new services in market for valuable consumers. It gives feeling of punch line “Isko Laga Dala Toh Life Jinga La La” where consumers can get satsifaction.

Normally, we believe that to provide in-time service is much important in any service sector. As well, company can not run lnoger if it is not providing on-time service. So, it also require to make “Service maketing Strategy” with branding strategy in order to fulfill consumers/customers satisfaction & make them loyal.

Consumers can be satisfied only if they are getting good brands & regular service. And, due to highly satisfaction, consumers can become “Loyal Consumers”.


In today’s competitve scenario, it is much important that make your consumers/customers more loyal than get new consumers/customers. Otherwise, consumers/customers churning ratio will be go high.

The same thing is being done by Tata sky that it is always coming with new services at regular interval, new concepts as well as breaking clutter branding campaign.

DTH (Direct to Home) Service Players:- Dish TV, Tata Sky, Aritel Digital TV, Reliance Big TV, Sun Direct, Videocon D2H are major players.

Brand Ambassador (Endorser) :-
(1) Dish TV :-  Bollywood Star Mr.Shah Rukh Khan (Endorsing every Dish TV campaign)
(2) Tata Sky:- Bollywood Star Mr. Aamir Khan (He is endorsing on special new service campagin normally)
(3) Airtel Digital TV:- Bollywood Star Mr. Saif Ali Khan & Miss Kareena Kapoor
(4) Videocon D2H:- Bollywood Star Mr. Abhishek Bachchan (He was came initially launching, but now TVC of Videocon is not coming)

Yet, non of brands have been introduced such services in DTH service market.So, it can be good opportunity to build up strong brand equity, loyal & satisfy consumers and differentiates from rivals.


The another important thing is that to fulfill “PROMISE” which is being an offered by Tata Sky. Tata Sky has introduced services, is good thing but the most important thing is to make it fulfill well which has been shown in TVC. Once it will get success, then assure non of DTH serivice rivals can beat Tata Sky.

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar And 17 Brands endorsing by Sachin

“Sachin, Sachin, Sachin!!!”. A “Master Blaster” Indian Players “Sachin Tendulkar” has made his 100^th century, it was an amazing cricket innings and biggest achievement.

Really, Sachin Tendulkar is himself big brand & one of the most inspirational person in sports field where majority small children / young one are taking inspiration from Sachin. In India, numbers of small children are saying that “I want to become cricket player like Sachin”, I want to become Saching Tendulkar”.
Since many days, people were awaiting for Sachin’s 100^th century, an ultimately it has been an achieved by Sachin Tendulkar as well as he has already been made numbers of world record and still his efforts is going on n on…That’s why he is calling as “Master Blaster”.


 Now, you can think that
“How Sachin Tendulakar is known as “Master Blaster”,
How he has created his brand image & brand equity,
How he has made world record,
How he is playing strategically?”


 Sachin has never fell down or run away from ground despite of getting failure. Same he has been done lots of tried to make 100^th centure against Austrlia Cricket Series but he could not be done. But after lots of efforts, finally he did and proved.


Today, Sachin Tendulkar is endorsing 17 brands including 
Boost, Coca Cola, Toshiba major appliances,
Adidas, Jaypee Cement, Aviva Life Insurance, Reynolds, ITC Sunfeast,
Canon Camera, Castrol Oil Power 1, Active & GTX,
Royal Bank of Scotlant, luxury Swiss watch Audemars Piguet and others more.


After 100^th century of Sachin, few brands have already released new campaign while other brands will be coming soon with Sachin’s new campaign. 


Despite of 17 brands, many more other brands are awaiting to get sign deal with Sachin. As well, Coca Cola has released  first time new campaign with Sachin regaridng INR 20 per Coke can which is based on “Happiness Can”. 

If we take few example with brands which is being endorsing by Sachin Tendulkar:- 
(1) Toshiba (Leading Innovation):- Few months back, new TVC campaign has been released by Toshiba laptop, first time 3D/2D concept based in India where Sachin Tendulkar conveying message “Are You Reaady For More?”.

 But, if we analyze laptop market overview, there are many strong rival brands availabe in market such as Dell, Sony Viao, HP, Compaq, Dell, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo etc. which are offering well-advanced quality n technological features. And, yet Toshiba has not covered much market share from Indian market.But Toshiba can able to get success after awaiting like Sachin.


(2) Canon Digital Camera:- Same like as Toshiba Canon has also strong rival brands such as Niko, Samsung, Sony, FujiFilm, Olympus, Panasonic etc. are offering latest features with competitive price in India. As well, Nikon is one of market leading brand in India.


(3) Boost:- The Energy health drink brand Boost which is targeting most towards children which was endorsing by Sachin Tendulkar as well as lastly also endorsed by Indian Skipper M.S.Dhoni that conveying messgae “Boost is a secret of my energy”. However, there are strong rival brands such as Bournvita, Complan, Pediasure which have different competency. Still they comepte with each other very strong.

 (4) Adidas, Aviva Life Insurance and Jaypee Cement:- All of these brands are competing  against strong rivals in respective market where many competitors are avaliable in market, and many are entering newly in market.


Conclusion:- The only one impotant thing is that Sachin can be able to give good impact to your brand only if your brans must be strong market leader with strong brand recognition, brand equity, consumer satisfaction. Otherwise, it may chance to give belwo expected business. 


Think about you existing brand status:-
(1) Is your brand strong as like Sachin?
(2) Is your brand made any biggest record as like Sachin?
(3) Is your brand “Master Blaster” as like Sachin?
(4) Is your brand giving satisfaction to end users? 


If answer will be yes:- Then proceed further and make effective branding strategy.


 If answer will be No:- Then better, not to tie-up with Saching as endorser. Because, you are paying Sachin, and you have projected business plan with the consideration of Sachin. Only doing campaign is not important but ROI is much important after campaigning.

Samsung V/S Nokia

Samsung a giant market players in Electronics items, as well Samsung is now playing very aggressively & strategically in Indian market. Samsun has been made lots of change in Indian mobile market within 2 years as well as covered healthy market share in India.

Samsung is playing against two strong rivals Nokia (In Nominal phone) while Apple (In Smartphone).

Samsung has covered huge market share & broken Nokia Market share in India. It was time where the word ‘Nokia” was coming on tongue of Consumers. But, that word has already been removed by Samsun or reduced by Samsung. Now, the words are like “Samsung Champ”, Samsung Galaxy” or Samsung new mobile “coming on tongue of Indian consumers.

Tag Line:- What Next? Samsung is always considering its tag line and coming with various kinds of new brand model.

The core competency of Samsung is that coming with quality & attractive model with well-advanced features and highly competitive price (Economy price) where consumers can feel ‘value against buying’. As well, it is highly targeting on Youth market..

Today, Indian mobile handset market is become cheap (in terms of Price). Consumers are getting more facilities by paying nominal price. Today, Indian mobile market becomes “Dual SIM” where consumers can easily use multiple purposes.

No.of Market Players in Indian Market :- Nokia, Samsung, Lava, Karbon, Zen mobile, Maxx Mobile, Micromax mobile, Spice etc. ( For Lower middle class, Middle class, Upper middle class segment).

Above all brands are offering high range models & smart phone too.

Other brands are Sony Erickson, blackberry etc. are offering premium model.

Samsung strategy: - Samsung is using two types of strategy in India. The one is about aggressively branding/marketing (All Media) with Pricing Strategy. On other side, Samsung mobile brand is also endorsing by bollywood star Mr. Aamir khan. So, the strategy is like on regular interval endorsed by Aamir khan as required and other side by introducing creative concept & innovative features.

Recently, Samsun has released new model Samsung Champ Deluxe Duos which is offering price 4750 INR (Apprx.). The model is focusing on “New Apps” concept where you can engage with your group or elsewhere. The TVC is about targeting youth market and youth can able to do anything, TVC shows resolution bill pass through “chaton Apps” and conveying message that use Apps smartly and to world smart.

The overall concept is really nice and Samsung Champ as well as Samsung Galaxy both brands are getting good response.

On other side, Samsung is also competing in Smartphone market, offering ‘Android OS’ against Apple Mac OS. While Nokia has not got much success in smart phone market due to many factors from which the most important factor is that Nokia is offering Window OS in smart phone which performing low compared to Android OS.

So, Samsung has got good opportunity to beat Nokia and compete against Apple. Samsung is introducing at least 5-7 new models per month in Indian market.

Strategy using by Telecom Service Providers In India

Today, telecom service provider industry is going to change in India after entered 2G and 3G service. Competition is already become tough and all telecom service providers are trying to take position by much strategically.

Within 2-3 years many other new service providers are entered into Indian market and made healthy competition with good market coverage. Let’s see company/brand wise strategically analysis:-

Total GSM Market Players: - Airtel, Vodafone, Uninor, Idea, Reliance, Tata Docomo, BSNL/MTNL, Aircel, Videocon.

(1) Uninor: - Uninor brand is a joint venture between Telenor Norway & Unitech which has entered before a year ago in India and today Uninor has already taken good brand position in Indian market. Today, Uninor is playing with 5.99% market share among all GSM players. Within short span of period, it has covered good market share, covered good subscriber base and competing strong against rivals Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Aircel etc.

Strategy: - Uninor brand has adopted “Pricing Strategy” since launching period. However, pricing strategy already been used by other service provider but no one brand come yet like Uninor pricing strategy . As well, it is coming with various kinds of unique ideas & concept on pricing part. And we can definitely say that “Price” is core competency for Uninor brand. Overall media planning too strategically where it is covering majority print media (Esp. Daily news paper), OOH, Digital media as well as TVC campaign is using much less.

(2) Airtel (Bharti Enterprise):- After changing a corporate identity, Airtel is trying to get re-position in market by targeting on youth market. The new campaign is focusing on “Har Eak Friend Zaroori Hai” in order to take strong position in youth market. Today, Airtel is moving towards totally on youth market than others.

Recently before a month ago, Airtel has released so many various kind of campaign like Curious Friend, chipku friend, proxy friend, LOL friend, Facebook friend, Sharing friend, etc. The ultimately, it is conveying message about its punch line “Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hai”.

Overall, Airtel has lost its position from market in terms of brand equity, market share after changing logo.

(3) Vodafone: - Vodafone is getting good success and built up strong brand image in market. The Zoo zoo campaign was getting huge positive feedback and on that base Vodafone got good image. Still, the Zoo Zoo concept is running and already released various VAS services campaign as well as 3G service campaigns.

Vodafone is much strong rival of Airtel and Vodafone has also covered good market share with growth.

(4) Idea (Aditya Birla Group):- Idea brand is now much focusing on 3G network service, brand is endorsing by bollywood Star Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. The campaign is always good with creative concept but yet Idea brand could not bit either Airtel or Vodafone.

All above brands are trying to get position on their specific market and want to build up stronger brand equity.

 

Subscriber base:-  Airtel having 176.95 mn with 27.3% market share, Vodafone having 148.60 mn with 22.93% market share, Idea having 108.12 mn with 16.68 market share, BSNL having 93.42 mn with 14.42% market share, Aircel having 62.46 mn with 9.64% market share while Uninor having 38.79 mn with 5.99% market share.

Subscriber Growth: - Airtel 0.55%, Vodafone 0.58%, BSNL 0.93%, Aircel 1.33%, Idea 1.64% and Uninor have achieved 6.86% growth in subscriber base.

Conclusion:-

We can make easily analysis that Uninor has achieved good market within short span of period as well as also built up good brand image in Indian market.
