MARKETING STARTEGY

Marketing strategy is the complete and unbeatable plan designed

specially for attaining the marketing objective of the firm. The marketing

objectives indicate what the firms want to achieve and for achieving these

objectives indicate, the Marketing Strategy provides the design.

It is the Marketing Strategy the decides the success at the business

unit level which in turn decides the total corporation success. The linkage

between Marketing Strategy and overall corporate success is indeed direct

and vital, and in this linkage lays the significance of Marketing Strategy Since

realizing the marketing objectivesis the purpose of Marketing Strategy, it is

only logical that Marketing objectives of the firm . Marketing Startegy is a

nebulous idea. It is well outlines game plan, and there are definite ways of

formulating it. Basically, formlating of Marketing Startregy consitist of two

main steps:-

(a) Assembling The Marketing Mix:-

It means all four “Ps” in the right combination. The firm has to plan

how it can generate the best sales and make profit. Four “Ps” are as follows:

1- Product

6

2- Price

3- Place (Distribution)

4- Promotion.

1- PRODUCT :-

Product is the focus of marketing and tool in the Marketing Mix.

Without a product there is no quene it serves the customer by satisfying his

needs and desires, and therefore he pays for it. Thus products is the sum

total of physical and psychological.

So, a product is a set tangible, intangible and associated attributes

capable of bring exchanged for a value with ability to satisfy customer

andbusiness need.

2- PRICE:-

Price is a major marketing tool and helps in digment. Price is the value

of a product expressed in terms of money. It is a powerful Instrument in

which both the buyer and the seller are keenly interested. It brings revenue

for the company. Price is a link that binds consumers and the company.

7

3- PLACE:-

Place or distribution mix stands for the matching arrangement for the

smooth flow of goods and services from the producers to the consumers. In

other words, it signifies to things, namely, Physical distribution and channel of

distribution. Goods may reach to the customers through Whole-sellers,

Retailers, of direct to the customers through Chain-shops, tenders, and

meeting or on telephone.

4- PROMOTION:-

Promotion Strategy is an important element of Marketing Mix.

Promotion includes all those activities that are aimed at creating or stimulation

of various promotional tools in order to increase the sales volume. It includes

the sales technique like advertising, sales promotion, personal selling.

It also gives full information regarding qualities and characteristics of

company’s products and also a comparative study of company’s product with

similar product of other company to the real consumers so that they can go

for the company product.

b- Selecting The Target Market:-

It includes, on the one hand, how to analyze customers, competitors,

market characteristics, and Environmental trends to assess Market

opportunity, and on the other hand, it includes, how to analyze a company’s

8

strengths and weaknesses to determine whether and how the opportunities

may be exploited.

1- CUSTOMER ANALYSIS AND SEGMENTATION:-

Needs must be interpreted very broadly, in terms of only product

characteristics. Customer may also differ in their needs for information,

reassurance, technical support, service, distribution and a host of other “non-

product” benefit , that are part of their purchase. This leads automatically to

the Strategic Implication that business may choose to serve different

Customer Segments.

2- COMPETITORS ANALYSIS:-

An evaluation of each competitor is useful for two reasons . First,

understanding buying behaviour and identify the customer to whom the

strategy appeals.

Second identifying the areas of relative strength and weakness and

potential market opportunity in a future competitive situation.

3. ANALYSING ENVIRMENTAL TRENDS:-

Environmental analysis involes the careful study of Economics , Social,

Political and technical changes.

a- ECONOMIC CHANGES:-

9

Cover the factor as Gross National Product, Govt. Spending, Capital

Availability and Interest reates and Sectarian growth pattern.

b- SOCIAL CHANGES:-

Are different to classify in to any exhaustive last. Changes in family life

styles, Shifts to less work and more leisure, imporved living standards and

apparent decline in traditional values.

c- POLITICAL CHANGES:-

Includes those on a global, national, State and municipal level Political

changes influence trade between nation foreign investment, regulatory

policies, fiscal and monetary policies, industrial policies, etc.

d- TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES:-

Not only leads to improved products but also to new substitute ways to

meet customer needs. Father, it often leads to the identification and

exploitation of previouslay unfulfilled needs.

Sensitivity to all those environmental influence is essential strategic

Market Planning.

4. ANALYSING MARKET CHARATERISTICS:-

There are certain characteristics of the market that deal with the

character of demand on Most of them respondent wants price of the bikes

10

should be less than 50,000 . Very few wants their price to be 50,000 or more

than 50,000 . Most of the respondent wants in their bikes good mileage, low

maintenance, good pick-up and very feew go to its look. Basically young

generation cares for the look and style of the bike.

Good number of respondents had shown satisfaction on the dealers

behaviour. Few responded that dealers have over influencing behaviour and

others had given their view that dealers have very formal behaviour. They do

not respond well with the customers. Although there is a contradiction in the

view regarding the behaviour of the customer. But a large segment of

respondent had shown their full satisfaction for the dealers after sales service.

Respondents also wants good financial schemes from the dealers die 80% of

the respondents wants to buy the bike on finance whereas only 20% wants on

a cash payment and thus they want a reliable financial institute to finance

their bikes on a low rate of interest and easy mode of payment.

Respondents also wants some sales promotion schemes to promote

the purchase of bikes such as : a gift item, discount, free trips or some other

schemes.

Community Initiatives

Yamaha in the community

Yamaha Motors is committed to nation-building and contributing to the

uplift and development of the weaker sections of society. This is a legacy of

our founders, Jamnalal and Kamalnayan Yamaha . Because of their close

links with Mahatma Gandhi and the freedom struggle, they sincerely believed

that as businessmen they were trustees of the community and the profits they

earned must be ploughed back for the development of the community.

37

Jankidevi Yamaha Gram Vikas Sanstha (JBGVS)

Yamaha Motors’s philanthropic activities among the rural poor are

carried out by a trust, the Jankidevi Yamaha Gram Vikas Sanstha (JBGVS).

This trust was formed 15 years ago by Ramkrishna Yamaha in memory of his

mother, Jankidevi Yamaha . JBGVS acts as a catalyst to development at the

grass root level in 32 villages around Yamaha Motors’s Pune and

Aurangabad plants.

Vision Statement of JBGVS

JBGVS is a non-political and secular organisation, which strives to

improve the quality of life of the rural poor by creating self employment

opportunities at the grass-root level, through the use of appropriate

technologies, in harmony with nature.

38

Focus

The trust initiates sustainable, integrated development through long

term projects in rural health, hygiene and sanitation, education and adult

literacy, improving agricultural and livestock yield, watershed development

and women’s empowerment. Through its poverty alleviation schemes, the

trust provides micro credit and income generation opportunities for the poor.

These projects have a positive impact on the quality of rural living standards.

Under the auspices of the ‘model village scheme’ of the Maharashtra

Government, JBGVS has assisted the development of several villages in the

last five years. Under this scheme, NGOs, public institutions, colleges,

hospitals, local self-government bodies and state government departments for

agriculture and horticulture, work together to bring about a holistic and

sustainable improvement in rural living conditions.

JBGVS is now expanding its reach to a larger constituency of rural

communities to help them improve the quality of their life. The trust is

39

stepping up its projects encompassing agricultural extension services, lift

irrigation, environmental sanitation, veterinary services, health and education.

The scope of the women’s self help groups is simultaneously being expanded

to undertake a larger variety of income generation projects which help in

raising and improving standards of living.

Implementation strategy

(1) To ensure the involvement of our rural constituents, JBGVS relies on a

participatory approach in implementing all its projects.

(2) In addition, the trust secures the participation of local elected bodies like

the gram panchayat (village council), co-operative societies, women’s and

youth bodies in decision making.

(3) JBGVS will undertake large-scale manpower development projects in

agriculture, animal husbandry, dairy, horticulture, health, education and

income generation projects to accelerate the pace of development activities.

through vaccination and medical camps along with facilities for artificial

also assists them in raising finances for these projects through banks and

other agencies.

Agriculture extension

JBGVS educates farmers on the use of improved, high yielding seeds

and modern methods of cultivation. It will soon provide expertise in

vermiculture, floriculture, and sericulture techniques and growing nutritious

varieties of fodder.

Water conservation

The trust promotes various techniques of watershed development

depending on the local terrain and topography to maximise water availability

for irrigation by facilitating consultative interaction between village

representatives and various government agencies.

Tree plantation

JBGVS has been assisting village level afforestation projects on

unused public land to combat soil degradation, scarcity of fuel and fodder

49

scarcity caused by the denudation of forests. This project will be extended to

a larger number of villages.

Model village scheme

The state government of Maharashtra has recognised the efforts of

JBGVS in promoting integrated development in rural areas under the

government’s ‘model village scheme’. The trust has adopted five villages,

which have been developed as model villages.

Village infrastructure

communities the trust helps villages to take up need-based, construction of

nurseries and crèches and low-cost housing projects.

Community development

The trust will extend its reach to a larger number of villages through

regular village level meetings and video shows to spread awareness and

50

motivate villages to adopt women’s development and leadership, modern

agricultural practices and watershed development.

Cultural initiatives

To strengthen communal amity in the villages, the trust encourages

community prayer meetings, bhajan (devotional hymns) competitions,

reinforcing messages through puppet shows and study tours. Local youth

clubs are encouraged to organise sports and cultural events.

Women’s development

JBGVS’s women volunteers assist village women to organise

themselves into self-help groups to articulate issues of common concern and

address themselves in finding solutions to their problems pertaining to

education and health.

51

Training & study tours

Training forms an integral part of all JBGVS activities. Training

programmes are conducted at three levels — village residents, village

animators and JBGVS staff. Before initiating new field programmes, staff

undergo appropriate capability development programmes. Subsequently,

training is cascaded to local village animators and, through them, to individual

village residents. This helps ensure a consistently high rate of success of all

JBGVS projects.

To convince villages to adopt new techniques in agriculture, water

resource management, livestock development, etc, study tours for village

residents are organised to model villages where such projects have been

implemented successfully.

Project monitoring

JBGVS has an elaborate follow-up and monitoring mechanism for all

its programmes, which functions at three levels. On the field, project

52

organisers conduct weekly monitoring sessions with the field staff. The

executive trustee and secretary of the trust meet the staff at each project

every fortnight to evaluate its implementation. Finally, the chairman and the

board of management of JBGVS appraise themselves of the progress of the

project every quarter

FINDINGS

Analysis of the Questionnaire is the most important part of any project. On

analyzing the questionnaire, we came to know that about 60% i.e. large chunk

is using Scooter beause of its low prices, low maintenance and multi purpose

use. Because of its low price it is in easy approach for everyone. Motorbikes

are basically liked by the young generation. The main drawback in the

motorbikes is that they do not have Stepny. If we have a flat tyre on a road

than with the help of Stepny we could be able to reach our destination on time.

About the liking of the bike basically Hero Honda ism on the top than

Yamaha and thanother bikes. Honda is liked because of its fuel efficiency buy

Yamaha, because of its good pick-up. As all the respondents says that no

doubt, Yamaha has very good pick-up but its fuel efficiency and stability is its

draw back. All the respondents had shown their full satisfaction on their

purchase.

100

101

Change in model frequently.

Further improvement in after sale services.

Conduct a survey for identifying change of consumers needs.

Reduction in interest rate in finance

Reduce the cost of products.

Provide better customer after sale services.

Company should provide exchange of old bike with new.

Company should a direct countable facility to the customer which should

be more advertise for any reason and any Problem.

Company should reduce its maintenance charge.

102

103

CONCLUSION

At last from the market survey, I came to the conclusion that Yamaha

Motors Bikes are on more market demand because of its good fuel efficiency,

reasonable prices and its good look style. Escorts Yamaha no doubt is on

second number in the market. The main draw back of yamaha bikes is its poor

mileage.

The company should encourage its advertising schemes such as good

media advertisements which can convey proper message about the bike,

hoarding on the road side, test rides, demos etc. to promote its sales. The

company should also consider the problem of finance which is the major

problem in today’s era.

The dealers should provide to its customers some sales promotion

scheme to attract the customers attentions to buy the bikes.

As today is the world of stringent competition, it is really difficult to hold a

position in a market and the one who do so is no doubt a leader of today’s

market. And thus Escorts Dealers should learn to acquire the market with the

leadership quality so as to lead the market and the company has to give its

proper support to the dealers to do so and dealers should also work for the

benefit of the company.

104

105

LIMITATIONS

The training period was short during this short period I tried my level

to marketing the study perfect and full proof. Yet these is following

limitations-

It was observed that the most of the customers were not playing

Proper attention to fill the questionnaire

I required the submitted the report in two months and hence I

had less time at my disposal .It was not possible there fore to

Conduct a census survey.

The research was conducted only On Delhi The research is also

necessary to the other local urban routes also.
