Executive summary

Executive summary

The project aims at understanding the Marketing strategies at llyod electrical and its
impact on the perception of llyod electrical Cellular Services.

Research has demonstrated conclusively that it is far more costly to win a new
customer than it is to maintain an existing one. And there is no better way to retain a
customer than to exceed his expectations. For this purpose it is essential to know the
level of customer satisfaction. The focus of my research was the measurement of
customer satisfaction level for the services provided by llyod electricals .

The research was done for the corporate clients of llyod electricals . My job was not
only to represent the Corporate Sales Dept. and collect the feedback from the clients
but also to get the major complaints resolved through internal counseling. There can be
no better opportunity to interact with the external as well as the internal customers of an
organization. Finally the results of the research verify the fact that keeping the customer
satisfied is the best strategy to not only retain the existing customers but also to expand
the business to new horizons.

Introduction to topic

INTRODUCTION

My topic of project ismarketing strategy of LLOYD Electric and Engineering ltd . A


strategy is a long-term plan to achieve certain objectives. A marketing strategy is
therefore a marketing plan designed to achieve marketing objectives. For example,
marketing objective may relate to becoming the market leader by delighting customers.
The strategic plan therefore is the detailed planning involving marketing research, and
then developing a marketing mix to delight customers. Every organisation needs to
have clear marketing objectives, and the major route to achieving organisational goals
will depend on strategy. It is important, therefore, to be clear about the difference
between strategy and tactics.

These terms originate from military use (military strategy before and during a military
campaign is the general policy overview of how to defeat the enemy). Developing a
strategy involves establishing clear aims and objectives around which the framework for
a policy is created. Having established its strategy, an organisation can then work out its
day-to-day tools and tactics to meet the objectives.

Marketing can thus be seen as the process of developing and implementing a strategy
to plan and coordinate ways of identifying, anticipating and satisfying consumer
demands, in such a way as to make profits. It is this strategic planning process that lies
at the heart of marketing.
In 1985, the Chartered Institute of Marketing adopted the dynamic slogan:
'Marketing means Business'

Strategic discipline
Marketing is now accepted as a strategic discipline or general management function
and in this respect must care for the health of a business in the future - especially
against competitive influences. This is because it is increasingly realised that although
making a profit is important, an organisation should also develop its market share and
search for brand leadership as well. So the marketer must monitor the profitability of the
business and attempt to anticipate the likely trends. At the same time rival companies
should be monitored and examined for vulnerable points.
Successful marketers must therefore be concerned with every aspect of their business,
including future project and other areas of their industry. Successful companies plan five
or ten years and more in advance and often know as much about their competition as
they know about themselves.
Marketing is not just a series of business-related functions, but more wide-reaching than
this. It is a business philosophy designed to develop an attitude of mind which should be
shared by everyone in an organisation and is often enhanced by both frequent and
open communication. Developing such an attitude of mind reduces the likelihood of
crisis and contributes to the development of the overall future of an enterprise at both
strategic and tactical levels.
At the heart of marketing lies the degree to which an organisation becomes marketingorientated. The more committed a company is to its marketing activities, the more able it
will be to pursue its corporate objectives and develop and retain customers. Every
business in existence relies upon its customers for survival, and those who best meet
customer needs will always survive a period of change.
The marketing function is therefore an essential ingredient of corporate strategy, and
this marketing focus should be communicated through marketing planning into all
aspects of business activity.

In choosing a marketing strategy a frequent distinction that is made is between


undifferentiated marketing and differentiated marketing.
Undifferentiated marketing is where a single marketing mix is offered to the total market.
In contrast differentiated market is the process of attacking the market by tailoring
separate product and marketing strategies to different segments of the market, for
example, the spectacles market can be broken down into fashion segments and
functional segments, high price and low price segments, and segments for individuals
with different types of vision problems.

Objectives
The ends which an organisation focuses its plans and activities towards achieving.

Strategies
The means to achieve the ends. Usually long term plans.
Marketing

strategy is

the

goal

of

increasing

sales

and

achieving

sustainable competitive advantage Marketing strategy includes all basic and long-term
activities in the field of marketing that deal with the analysis of the strategic initial
situation of a company and the formulation, evaluation and selection of market-oriented
strategies and therefore contribute to the goals of the company and its marketing
objectives.

Developing a marketing strategy


Marketing

strategies

serve

as

the

fundamental

underpinning

of marketing

plans designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives. Plans and
objectives are generally tested for measurable results. Commonly, marketing strategies
are developed as multi-year plans, with a tactical plan detailing specific actions to be
accomplished in the current year. Time horizons covered by the marketing plan vary by
company, by industry, and by nation, however, time horizons are becoming shorter as
the speed of change in the environment increases. Marketing strategies are dynamic

and interactive. They are partially planned and partially unplanned. See strategy
dynamics. Marketing strategy needs to take a long term view, and tools such
as customer lifetime value models can be very powerful in helping to simulate the
effects of strategy on acquisition, revenue per customer and churn rate.
Marketing strategy involves careful and precise scanning of the internal and external
environments Internal environmental factors include the marketing mix and marketing
mix

modeling,

plus

performance

analysis

and

strategic

constraints. External

environmental factors include customer analysis, competitor analysis, target market


analysis, as well as evaluation of any elements of the technological, economic, cultural
or political/legal environment likely to impact success. A key component of marketing
strategy is often to keep marketing in line with a company's overarching mission
statement
Once a thorough environmental scan is complete, a strategic plan can be constructed to
identify business alternatives, establish challenging goals, determine the optimal
marketing mix to attain these goals, and detail implementation. A final step in
developing a marketing strategy is to create a plan to monitor progress and a set of
contingencies if problems arise in the implementation of the plan.
Marketing Mix Modeling is often used to help determine the optimal marketing budget
and how to allocate across the marketing mix to achieve these strategic goals.
Moreover, such models can help allocate spend across a portfolio of brands and
manage brands to create value.

Strategic models

Marketing participants often employ strategic models and tools to analyze marketing
decisions. When beginning a strategic analysis, the 3Cs can be employed to get a
broad understanding of the strategic environment. An Ansoff Matrix is also often used to

convey an organization's strategic positioning of their marketing mix. The 4Ps can then
be utilized to form a marketing plan to pursue a defined strategy. Marketing Mix
Modeling is often used to simulate different strategic flexing go the 4Ps. Customer
lifetime value models can help simulate long term effects of changing the 4Ps, e.g.;
visualize the multi-year impact on acquisition, churn rate, and profitability of changes to
pricing. However, 4Ps have been expanded to 7 or 8Ps to address the different nature
of services.
There are many companies especially those in the Consumer Package Goods (CPG)
market that adopt the theory of running their business centered around Consumer,
Shopper & Retailer needs. Their Marketing departments spend quality time looking for
"Growth Opportunities" in their categories by identifying relevant insights (both mindsets
and behaviors) on their target Consumers, Shoppers and retail partners. These Growth
Opportunities emerge from changes in market trends, segment dynamics changing and
also internal brand or operational business challenges.The Marketing team can then
prioritize these Growth Opportunities and begin to develop strategies to exploit the
opportunities that could include new or adapted products, services as well as changes
to the 7Ps.

Real-life marketing

Real-life marketing primarily revolves around the application of a great deal of commonsense; dealing with a limited number of factors, in an environment of imperfect
information and limited resources complicated by uncertainty and tight timescales. Use
of classical marketing techniques, in these circumstances, is inevitably partial and
uneven.
Thus, for example, many new products will emerge from irrational processes and the
rational development process may be used (if at all) to screen out the worst nonrunners. The design of the advertising, and the packaging, will be the output of the

creative minds employed; which management will then screen, often by 'gut-reaction', to
ensure that it is reasonable.
For most of their time, marketing managers use intuition and experience to analyze and
handle the complex, and unique, situations being faced; without easy reference to
theory. This will often be 'flying by the seat of the pants', or 'gut-reaction'; where the
overall strategy, coupled with the knowledge of the customer which has been absorbed
almost by a process of osmosis, will determine the quality of the marketing employed.
This, almost instinctive management, is what is sometimes called 'coarse marketing'; to
distinguish it from the refined, aesthetically pleasing, form favored by the theorists.
An organization's strategy combines all of its marketing goals into one comprehensive
plan. A good marketing strategy should be drawn from market research and focus on
the right product mix in order to achieve the maximum profit potential and sustain the
business. The marketing strategy is the foundation of a marketing plan.

Research methodology

Develop a marketing strategy


Effective marketing starts with a considered, well-informed marketing strategy. A good
marketing strategy helps you define your vision, mission and business goals, and
outlines the steps you need to take to achieve these goals.
Your marketing strategy affects the way you run your entire business, so it should be
planned and developed in consultation with your team. It is a wide-reaching and
comprehensive strategic planning tool that:

describes your business and its products and services

explains the position and role of your products and services in the market

profiles your customers and your competition

identifies the marketing tactics you will use

allows you to build a marketing plan and measure its effectiveness.

A marketing strategy sets the overall direction and goals for your marketing, and is
therefore different from a marketing plan, which outlines the specific actions you will
take to implement your marketing strategy. Your marketing strategy could be developed
for the next few years, while your marketing plan usually describes tactics to be
achieved in the current year.
Write a successful marketing strategy
Your well-developed marketing strategy will help you realise your business's goals and
build a strong reputation for your products. A good marketing strategy helps you target

your products and services to the people most likely to buy them. It usually involves you
creating one or two powerful ideas to raise awareness and sell your products.
Developing a marketing strategy that includes the components listed below will help you
make the most of your marketing investment, keep your marketing focused, and
measure and improve your sales results.

Identify your business goals


To develop your marketing strategy, identify your overarching business goals, so that
you can then define a set of marketing goals to support them. Your business goals
might include:

increasing awareness of your products and services

selling more products from a certain supplier

reaching a new customer segment.

When setting goals it's critical to be as targeted as possible so you can effectively
measure the outcomes against what you set out to achieve. A simple criteria for goalsetting is the SMART method:

Specific - state clearly what you want to achieve

Measurable - set tangible measures so you can measure your results

Achievable - set objectives that are within your capacity and budget

Relevant - set objectives that will help you improve particular aspects of your
business

Time-bound - set objectives you can achieve within the time you need them.

State your marketing goals


Define a set of specific marketing goals based on the business goals you listed above.
These goals will motivate you and your team and help you benchmark your success.

Examples of marketing goals include increased market penetration (selling more


existing products to existing customers) or market development (selling existing
products to new target markets). These marketing goals could be long-term and might
take a few years to successfully achieve. However, they should be clear and
measurable and have time frames for achievement.
Make sure your overall strategies are also practical and measurable. A good marketing
strategy will not be changed every year, but revised when your strategies have been
achieved or your marketing goals have been met. Also, you may need to amend your
strategy if your external market changes due to a new competitor or new technology, or
if your products substantially change.

Research your market


Research is an essential part of your marketing strategy. You need to gather information
about your market, such as its size, growth, social trends and demographics (population
statistics such as age, gender and family type). It is important to keep an eye on your
market so you are aware of any changes over time, so your strategy remains relevant
and targeted.
Profile your potential customers
Use your market research to develop a profile of the customers you are targeting
andidentify their needs.
The profile will reveal their buying patterns, including how they buy, where they buy and
what they buy. Again, regularly review trends so you don't miss out on new opportunities
or become irrelevant with your marketing message.
While you try to find new customers, make sure your marketing strategy also allows you
to maintain relationships with your existing customers.

Profile your competitors


Similarly, as part of your marketing strategy you should develop a profile of your
competitors by identifying their products, supply chains, pricing and marketing tactics.
Use this to identify your competitive advantage - what sets your business apart from
your competitors. You may also want to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your
own internal processes to help improve your performance compared with your
competition.
