offered some services for free for a period of time in order to promote HP. HP has
also played the sponsor in many sports like formula one and Premier League
Club.Hence, this gives an insight in the marketing mix of HP .
SWOT ANALYSIS OF HP :
Strengths:
Brand reputation-
HP is the world’s leading PC vendor with more than 15% market share. It is also
one of the major providers of service network products. The company has a
significant market reach all over the world in nearly all of the markets it operates.
This has resulted in a strong brand reputation. According to Interbrand, HP’s
brand was value at $26 billion in 2012 and was among top 15 most valuable
brands in the world
Opportunities:
Expand services and enterprise solutions divisions.
HP provides various services (cloud, security and infrastructure) and
enterprise solutions (servers, networking and storage), which are the most
profitable HP’s businesses at the moment. The company should focus on
growing these divisions as they promise better growth opportunities and
higher profit margins.
HP has made a deep-rooted presence over all the social media platforms,
So here is the detailed analysis of how HP is doing over various social media
platforms.
Facebook
HP has its largest following on Facebook with a massive 3.8 million followers on
their official global page. Many other pages run country-wise under the same
brand name.
The company shares diverse content over Facebook. Although some of their post
prompts their own products, but most of them is based on career advice and
work skills.
A lot of short videos are shared over the platform to display their products. All
innovation are the two things that are encouraged by the brand.
Twitter
Like Facebook, HP has a number of Twitter accounts based on various factors. Its
The company is active over Twitter on regular basis. They post over the
product promotion, to tech news and exciting tips and facts of the tech
as MondayMotivation, GeekPrideDay and DidYouKnow.
Instagram
The posts over HP’s Instagram page is somewhat having a quality
content. However, they have effectively combined technology into
creative photography and videos.
Like on Facebook and Twitter, they strongly use hashtags over Instagram
and have created and used a number of hashtags such
as LifeatHP and HPDiscover, as well as for their various campaigns
– BendTheRules , WorkFromHappyPlace.
They encourage other users to share their images under the HP hashtags and
frequently share user content on the HP account. HP has over 292,500 followers
on Instagram and their posts generally receive around 2,000 – 3,000 likes.
Market share of HP
HP is a technology company that is paving the way in innovations for the average
everyday user, as well as scientists, doctors, and engineers. They are a company
that has their hands in everything related to the modern technologies that propel
our society forward. After falling off the radar, HP has come back stronger than
ever with a new online media campaign and innovative technologies. They have
reinvented themselves to be modern and sophisticated, but still simple enough
that everyone can use their products.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
HP has always targeted the tech savvy, someone who loves technology and
innovations.
ADVERTISING REVAMP:
The biggest key to the success of HP's new digital strategy is a complete revamp
of the way they do advertising on social media, including better use of their
YouTube Channel. Using collaborative advertising with actual HP consumers will
intrigue new customers and create a viral buzz that will boost traffic, and
ultimately sales, for HP
ANALYTICS :
HP will need to monitor Key Performance Indicators to ensure that this new
digital campaign is being successful. Throughout the campaign they should check:
• Clicks
• Follows
• Email-Captures
• Sales
• Search Quality Scores for Keywords and Phrases
• YouTube views Analyzing the campaign will allow HP to divide the budget
properly and adjust it as needed.
BUDGET: HP spends about the same amount of money on advertising each year.
Since their current budget supports their social media and online efforts for
advertising, switching the way they use their current budget will be easier than
increasing it. Using analysis of previous advertising methods, as well as using
some of the budget to fund collaborative advertising will surely increase HP's buzz
and boost sales.
DIGITAL MARKETING
Meaning:
Digital marketing is defined by the use of numerous digital tactics and channels to
connect with customers where they spend much of their time: online. From the
website itself to a business's online branding assets -- digital advertising ,email
marketing, online brochures, and beyond -- there's a spectrum of tactics that fall
under the umbrella of "digital marketing."
The best digital marketers have a clear picture of how each digital marketing
campaign supports their overarching goals. And depending on the goals of their
marketing strategy, marketers can support a larger campaign through the free
and paid channels at their disposal.
A content marketer, for example, can create a series of blog posts that serve to
generate leads from a new e-book the business recently created. The
company's social media marketer might then help promote these blog posts
through paid and organic posts on the business's social media accounts. Perhaps
the email marketer creates an email campaign to send those who download the
e-book more information on the company..
Traditional marketing is more effective for target customer which out of reach of
internet. They are people who do not connect to the internet on daily basis.
Senior citizens or low-end economic citizens who are internet illiterate are the
best target for traditional marketing strategy. On the other way, people who are
never without internet in their reach, such as teenagers and businessmen, are
easier in to reach through online marketing
IDC predicts that by the end of 2019, the digital marketing industry will be worth
over $102 billion! The digital marketing trend in India has been mounting for
years now. It has led to the present era to become sophisticated by becoming
more responsive. It enhances the frequency and depth of its users .
-EMERGING MARKETING TRENDS AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES
As a Digital Marketer, it can be argued that the most important phenomena that
happened in Digital Marketing scenario in India, in the past few decades, is the
“Jiofication”. On September 6, 2016, Reliance Industries launched Jio to the
public, thereby creating a new meta. With dirt-cheap pricing and several free
offers, it moulded the average Indian mindset with a craving for more data.
People with no access to the Internet was given access and existing Internet users
were given more data which provided them with a wide array of browsing
possibilities. This meant more eyes viewing the content you put out on the
internet.

Review of Literature:
Dr. K. Kumar (2014) laptops are a definite need than a luxury, in today’s fast
paced world. Having a portable PC that helps to take work along with, to all the
places that one goes, has actually become a necessity. Laptops is Playing a
Dominant role among employees. Like Heart’s importance to Human Body, laptop
computer is playing a vital role in day to day operations.
P. Taufeeq (2012) the hard disk provides memory for long-term data storage –
measured in gigabytes (GB). It stores the operating system and applications
(programs) as well as files including music, photos and documents. We
recommend a minimum of 500GB hard disk space - storing video, high-resolution
photos, music and software uses up a lot of space. If in doubt, go for more hard
drive space if you can afford it.
The empirical study conducted by Srivalli Jandhyala (2012) is observed that, the
food habits of India vary region and area to area. Food and grocery is the second
largest segment of the Indian retail industry especially in untapped market line
rural and semi-rural area which is growing at the rate of 30% the presents study
helps in analyzing the impact of extensions of food retail stores from urban area
to semi urban are and change in consumption habits of the customers.
V. Anil (2012) laptop’s keyboard is smaller than a desktop computer’s - keys are
closer together, and may also be smaller. Many 13-inch models don’t have room
for a separate number pad. It’s a good idea to try out a laptop’s keyboard before
you buy if you can, to ensure you get one you're comfortable with.
