Marketing Strategies

Profitability

Works upon 80:20 rule

20% customers in any market yield 80% of the profits

Contd….Aim to ….

• Attain new customers and increase the number of relationships

• Increase the profitability of those relationships

• Increase the duration of profitable relationships

“Know your customer….to capture and retain

them !”

Beliefs• Exposure to global business environment-Competition is not just domestic but global

• Acquisition costs on the rise- Increasing need to penetrate and have efficient distribution

•Buying power of customer-Open markets

-Global customers

-Multiple substitutes

“…Customer is KING”

AIRTEL - 3G• Plans to launch 3G services in India in the next 6 months.

• Airtel's 3G speed is rumoured to be around 400Kb/s.The main reason to roll out 3G is the competition from BSNL

rolling out 3G in India.

The other main reason being to promote the iPhone which, otherwise, has not yet seen success in India.
