Promotional Mix Of Tata Docomo

Promotional Mix Of Tata Docomo Tata DOCOMO is Tata Teleservices Limiteds (TTSL) telecom service on the GSM platform-arising out of the Tata Groups strategic alliance with Japanese telecom major NTT DOCOMO in November 2008. Tokyo-based NTT DOCOMO is one of the worlds leading mobile operators-in the Japanese market, the company is clearly the preferred mobile phone service provider in Japan with a 50 per cent market share. NTT DOCOMO has played a major role in the evolution of mobile telecommunications through its development of cutting-edge technologies and services. Over the years, technologists at DOCOMO have defined industry benchmarks like 3G technology, as also products and services like the i-modeTM, mobile payment and a plethora of lifestyle-enhancing applications. Today, while most of the rest of the industry is only beginning to talk of LTE technology and its possible applications, DOCOMO has already started conducting LTE trials in physical geographies, not just inside laboratories! . Despite being a late entrant, Tata Indicom, TTSLs CDMA brand, has already established its presence and is the fastest-growing pan-India operator. Incorporated in 1996, Tata Teleservices Limited is the pioneer of the CDMA 1x technology platform in India. Today, Tata Teleservices Limited, along with Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Ltd, serves over 37 million customers in more than 320,000 towns and villages across the country offering a wide range of telephony services including Mobile Services, Wireless Desktop Phones, Public Booth Telephony and Wire-line Services. Promotional Mix Strategies Adopted by TATA DOCOMO ltd. As a telecom service provider company DOCOMO core product is its SIM card and services. It adopts many sales promotional mix tools to capture the market. The main tools which, company has adopted to promote sales are: Advertising Sales promotion and CSR Events and experiences Public relations and publicity Direct marketing ADVERTISING As a medium of exchange TATA DOCOMO has adopted many campaigns to hit the market. The campaign, which will run through the festive season, aims to stand out with two key selling points: one, its tagline Do the New; and two, its differentiated tariff plans. Do the new is a concept that prompts every citizen to do something new, even if its a small thing. It appointed Pooja Chopra (Femina Miss India World 2009) and Krushnaa Patil (the youngest girl to conquer Mount Everest) as brand ambassadors. For Tata DoCoMo, doing the new has also meant charging the user per second, and not per minute. The basic tariff is one paisa per second for both local and STD calls, a deviation from the industry practice of a 60-second billing. The company claims that this plan, termed as pay as you use, is gaining popularity in the market. If life changes in seconds why to pay for minutesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦. : It not only focuses on television advertising but, also in print media. Often, its advertisement can be seen in any reputed news papers. For advertisement it has done many campaigns, some of those are: DO THE NEW DOCOMOS SONG Its time for you to DO the New every time you make a call with Tata DOCOMO My Song The track has four layers, making it easier for the brand to use any part, as the communication demands. The first part is the repeated do do do bit; the second is the repeated do-do, mo-mo bit; the third part is when Docomo is recited in a cuckoo clock manner; and finally the high-pitched voice taking the tune to a higher note. . The logo of Docomo dance, walk , sit, stand and does all super cute actions to form different patterns which is very much impressive..

Response from customer QUES 2: Which promotional methods must company emphasize and why ANS 2 The company must emphasize on sales promotion because there are some flaws I found in promotional strategies: RETAILER SIDE: Retailers are emphasizing on selling multi brands products. Few retailers are focusing on only one brands who provide them rewards and incentives. Lack of awareness about postpaid. CUSTOMER SIDE: Maximum no of inactive customer Some customers are loyal towards one brand Customers prefer company outlay because of attractive gift Few customers are not getting proper service COMPANY SIDE: Network problem and minimum coverage 80% customer are using prepaid plan whereas 20% are using postpaid because they are not aware of postpaid tariff plan QUES 3: Suggestion on more effective alternative promotion method company can use. ANS 3 RECOMENDATION Company should make it compulsory that a separate strategies adopted to increase postpaid sales Company can reduce the call rate with in the same network night calling. Some special gift should be there for retailer to attract them for push the customer, gift for customer also. A formal meeting for the retailers to make them understand inwhich way they can earn money (monthly basis like salary). Tariff plan should be start from low rental like 50, 99 and 199 as other company offers. Unlimited CUG facility can generate more corporate customer. A separate team should be there for supervising this channel Increase network coverage: Few of customers not satisfy with net work coverage. If Tata increase more towers more customers are satisfy Increase download speed of internet: the download speed of Tata Docomo is very slow. If it increases speed of download it may increase the brand image . Concentrate on SMS tariff: No difference from the competitors SMS tariff if it made slight changes it will attract more customers Avoid black marketing of Sims by dealers: due to doing black marketing the brand image decreases More customer service centers are requiring: More customer service centers are require meeting the desires of customers.
