PREFACE
In the present scenario, marketing and sales is a major challenge for the
seasoned professional. And it is no surprise that Marketing is a tough concept to
understand .Marketing is the activity, set of institutions , and process for
creating communicating , delivery and exchanging offerings that have value for
customers , clients ,partners and society at large.
The project report consists of detailed study on the topic “PROMOTIONAL
ACTIVITIES IS IMPORTANT FOR – ‘PRODUCT’ OR ‘BRAND’!”
The report further provides information regarding OPPO , its position
,infrastructure with its product and services offered by them ,which facilitate the
buyer effectively.it is very important that trained marketing professionals who
are able to communicate specific features of the services should sell the
products.In the millennium, all these activities would play a crucial role in the
overall development of organisation.
I hope that the research work made by me will be of great help to get the
comprehensive knowledge of the organisation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The present business scenario is totally customer oriented. Each company faces
stiff competition from its competitors, each provides the best services at
competitive rates.As a result customer has lot of choices to get the best with the
least cost .To face this competition, it is very important to know customer’s
behaviour towards different products and services.This project is aimed at
understanding the marketing strategies adopted by OPPO and its impact on the
perception of OPPO customers.Research has showed 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.The focus of my
research was the analyse the point that the promotional activities by the
organistion improves the product value or the brand value.My job was to
interact with the promotional team and sales persons and analyse the level of
customer satisfaction also.There can be no better opportunity to interact with the
internal as well as external management people of the organisation.

1.Mobile market in India
India is expected to overtake the US as the second-largest smartphone market
next year with robust annual growth, says a Morgan Stanley research report.
According to the report on global technology and telecom, the country’s
smartphone market will grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of
23 percent through 2018 and would account for 30 percent of the global growth
during the period.
“We expect India to overtake the US next year as the second-largest smartphone
market by units. India will grow nearly five times faster than the world’s largest
smartphone market China, where growth has decelerated,” the report said.
It added, “We estimate a 23 per cent CAGR in units in India, compared with 5
percent over the same period in China. By 2018, we estimate 192 million
smartphones will be shipped to India or 11 percent of global units.”
Morgan Stanley said there are only 225 million smartphone subscribers in the
country, accounting for 18 percent of the total population.
“The improvement in demographics, as measured by declining age dependency,
has been one of the most important factors supporting higher potential growth in
India… We expect consumption to maintain a relatively high growth rate,
driven by an increase in per-capita income growth and an emerging middle
class,” it noted.

6
On consumption of data, the report said the country is on the cusp of significant
growth in data traffic driven by rising data users as well as growing data usage
per user.
“We expect India’s internet penetration to reach 50 per cent by 2018, up from
26 percent last year, driven by rising smartphone availability and affordability,
online content and changing user behaviour,” it said.
The global consultancy estimates 4G smartphones will account for 75 percent of
170 million shipments by the next year, which currently has less than 1 per cent
subscriber penetration in the country.
The report, which is based on 2,600 urban smartphone buyers, said the
respondents paid an average of Rs 8,500 for their smartphones and plan to
spend 40 percent more on their next phone.

OPPO Global Business

OPPO is relentless in the pursuit of the latest technology, the highest hardware
quality standards and in delivering the best user experience possible. We design,
manufacture, and promote our own products to assure customers of reliable and
the highest end products possible from beginning to end.

Since its founding in 2004, OPPO has consistently strived to deliver users this
ideology across the globe. Having successfully entered into the mobile phone
market in 2008, OPPO began looking at expansion into international markets in
2010 and opened its first overseas business in April of 2010 in Thailand.Today,
OPPO is present in 21 markets worldwide.

From the start, OPPO’s products have pushed boundaries. As OPPO continues
to expand into new markets, the goal of making our products more accessible
around the globe without compromising product service and quality has never
been clearer.

Culture and philosophy: -

At OPPO, we believe that true innovation is all about changing, renewing or


creating more effective products that make life simpler. A core part of OPPO’s
10
company culture lies in its commitment to working with its fans to develop and
deliver the best products possible, through openness to customer feedback.
OPPO's brand philosophy is summed up in the phrase “The art of technology”.
It conveys our business principles of honesty, integrity and ethics. OPPO is
consistent in its determination to not only do things right, but also to do the right
thing in any given situation.

OPPO is wholeheartedly inspired by its customers. OPPO co-develops products


with customers based on their feedback on both the hardware and software user
experience. OPPO has adopted a strategy of rapid release for smartphone

OPPO is continually striving to impress and capture young hearts with elegant
trendsetting design, excellent user experience, customer-centered product

With a uniquely independent R&D capacity, OPPO designs, develops,


manufactures, markets and sells its products with full control over the entire

quality products reach the customers. The company operates to the highest
quality assurance standards from rigorous design reviews through to scientific

28
Sole reason for buying an oppo phone

brand product

People these days are more attracted towards the product features rather
than the brand value of the product.The extensive campaigns and heavy
marketing strategies of oppo have attracted many potentials finds to come and
join themselves with oppo.
Observation and findings:
 From my observation and practical survey on the promotions of OPPO
Odisha ,I come up with some findings and some key challenges, which are
given below:

Findings for OPPO:


 Increasing number of consumers using more than one handset at a time
increases sales possibility.
 Growing trend among mobile phone users to frequently purchase new
handsets to replace old models.
 Consumer base becoming more and more feature variety oriented.
 Increasing goodwill with local distributors/retailers.
 The new systematic pricing policy allows it to cut into all price segments of
the target market.
 Increasing consumer interest in high tech mobile phone accessories such as
USB-Bluetooth Device.
 Consumer base becoming more and more feature variety oriented.

Key challenges for OPPO:


 Brand awareness is there, but still lacks motivation for purchase
consideration on much level.
 Heavy number of competitions
 Discrimination on basis of brand

29
7.Limitation of the report:
 In every study there have some limitations and in my report there are some
limitations. I did customers and visitors survey for my internship report, but I
also need to take a survey from the channel partner of OPPO. Some
information gaps and limitation which is given below:
 In my report I can’t discuss some organizational data and information for
organizational policy.
 It was hard to find out branding strategy used by OPPO India
Co. Ltd. because they are not sharing information much and some
information I have to find my practical observation.

 Time limitation is another fact that’s why my survey quantity is limited.


I figure out some information with informal talk with employees or officers
which are every telecommunication company have some banding policy and
connection with markets so that I can’t find out proper outcome of my
questionnaire.

8.Swot analysis
Strengths
 Oppo is financially strong and stable company. The production process and
process of inventory management are consistent with industrial standards.
 The brand value increased by 80% in last two years
 The Company enjoys wide range of product portfolio which includes
Mobiles,mp3 players ,mp4 players ,tv,bluereplayers
 oppo took advantage of growing economy of Asian market by setting up
manufacturing plant in India there by reducing logistics and supply chain
Weakness
 oppo needs improvement in defining the vision, mission and strategic
corporate objective. Marketing management needs improvement in all the
facts of marketing
 HRM also needs improvement in all the facts of human resource
management
Opportunity
 oppo is reasonable equipped to take care of technological changes
 oppo is maintaining good international relationship with countries and local
 The population is growing so as the demand for mobile phone demand is
also growing.

30
 The financial position is strong and there is a scope of entering into
unrelated diversification
Threats
 Regulatory issues and safeguarding of property rights was main threats in
legislation

9.Conclusion

1. Excellent product quality: This refers to the product ability to satisfy


consumers or customers need, both functionally and emotionally. This is
the most important factor if a brand is to be a winning brand. Users are
getting smarter in their choice and will not make purchase decision if they
don’t trust in the quality of the product presented to them.

2. Comprehensive and thorough communication: Hitting the right


communication channel and effectively delivering the message to
potential buyers contributes to the success of a brand. Even for a good
product, if no one knows about it, talks about it or discuss about it, then
the chance of failure for that product is really high. Considering the case
of iPhone for example although there has been a lot of negative feedback
about the product recently, however, every time a new version of iPhone
is launched, the world holds it breath and eagerly waits to see the great
invention of Apple. This is achieving through mastery in communication.
Despite that, the product must be strong, reliable and good all by itself in
order for consumers to test out and trust what being said in the
communication channel.

3. Intense product features

With heavy effort on increasing sales of the product, oppo has come of
with many advertisements that touch the mind and soul of the customers.
With heavy amount of advertising and promotional activiiies oppo could
reflect its position in the eyes of the non-users who now think to be
connected with Oppo. The tagline that oppo creats OPPO- CAMERA
PHONE is very eye-catching and smooth. The endorsements it offers and
also the sponserships it grant at high levels increases its brand value .
And because of this brand value, customers accepts its products.

31
With that being said, to be on top, OPPO must perform three critical tasks:
design a great product and build up a communication plan for it and most
importantly increase the brand value.. Design of the product would come
straight from the need or expectation of the market. Consumers no longer want
to buy what marketers sell to them; instead they want to buy things to solve
their need. Therefore OPPO must base on the need in the market to come up
with an idea or solution those consumers or customers would buy. Next would
be to build up a strategy, marketing strategy, communication strategy, and so
on. At the heart of all those activities is the brand positioning. Thus “
promotional strategies are based on and to develop product features
more ,rather than the brand.”
10.Suggestions

 In order to make recommendation about developing brand strategy for OPPO


India Co. Ltd. toward the business community, the first thing must be done is
to identify problems that OPPO brand is currently facing. Base on the
analysis and survey valuable information and insights are extracted to point
out weaknesses in the way OPPO manages its brand.
 Using the CBBE model as a guideline for analysis, weaknesses in each brand
building block are brought out for discussion in order to suggest solutions
which is addressed below-
 Brand salience: From the findings it can be seen that business has very
shallow understanding about OPPO brand. Most of them only know about
some general information such as OPPO is giant Chinese brand making high
tech Smartphones. The reason for such low level of awareness in other
functions is the lack of communication. OPPO does not have any formal
channels to communicate with the consumer community other than its
website. In addition to that, most marketing budget is used to spend on
branding.
 Brand performance: OPPO brand performance is made up by the quality of
its Smartphones and its innovative features and functions. For the functions,
although OPPO has some valuable achievement already likes VOOC rapid
charge, still they are not widely recognized by the consumer community
which is a huge waste for opportunities to make good impression and build
up the brand reputation for comprehensive performance at all fronts.
 Brand image: General comments about OPPO brand image as a
Smartphone is good. However, due to some negative impression about
Chinese branded Smartphones, OPPO is still far away from developing its
image as a reliable brand. Moreover, business perception about OPPO is that
it is just a Chinese branded Smartphone. As for that, the consumer has bad
perception about OPPO ever since which largely affects the brand image and

32
the products, to build up relationship with the consumers and it would be
challenging for OPPO to apply for the company.
 Brand judgment: Since the brand reputation is built up by the perception
about quality of OPPO Smartphone, OPPO mainly focus on those two
things. The main problem is that consumer is getting more option to choose
their brand. Therefore their judgments are mostly related about the product
quality, product performance which can be linked directly to consumer’s
mind satisfaction. Since the organization not only responsible for this, but
also the performance of the product, OPPO has not done a good job in
building a strong and appropriate communication channel for its products,
which largely affects the total OPPO brand reputation.
 Brand feeling: As mentioned above, if the product quality is not satisfactory
and the product will not go with the image of the consumer then their feeling
toward OPPO is that this is not the right product to choose and also not a
safe place to set up a long term relationship. However, if OPPO able to fix
that through designing andintegrating market research and consulting with
end users about the market trend then a huge competitive advantage would
be made which could set OPPO above all others.
 Brand resonance: In short, OPPO India Co. Ltd. is having some problems
with its brand in term of product performance and effective communication.
First of all the high tech Smartphone’s performance is better but the low
range product performance is not satisfactory that’s why OPPO must have to
be careful about this and next the lack of communication makes OPPO less
known to consumer, especially in term of other functions and features that it
provides. In addition to that, the confusing brand name and lack of clear
point of differentiation hinder OPPO’s ability to make its brand stand out of
the crowd. Lastly, without an effective communication channel, OPPO has
not been able to project its image as a branded Smartphone.
