INDUSTRI PROFILE

INTRODUCTION We are surrounded by advertisingon television, radio, the Internet, as well as on roadside hoardings and in printed media. Most of it is more sophisticated than we realizealmost every professionally produced advertisement is a carefully constructed mixture of words,

BABASAB PATIL

Page 11

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY GULAPPANNAVAR TVS MOTOR

images, and symbols, chosen with the aid of experts in consumer psychology. Understanding how advertisements work Advertisements, whatever their medium or format, have two purposes: To inform us of the availability of a product or service, or to give details of an event To persuade us, usually to buy something, or to support a cause

Ultimate objective of every organization is to generate sales which will bring revenues to the company, and increase sales advertisement is one of the means. The advertisers objectives different from the consumers. Ultimately advertiser want consumer to buy and keep buying their goods and services. To move consumers to action, they must gain their attention. They must then hold their interest long enough to convince them to change their purchasing behavior, try their product, and stick with their product.

Back Ground
TVS Motor Company has one of the most extensive network with over 500 dealers and 2500 Customer touch points. We are the first in the two-wheeler industry to measure customer satisfaction, audited by external consultants of international repute.

Strategy:
CONSOLIDATION is the current theme at TVS Motor. In the intervening period that is, before new models are rolled out the company seems to be truing to refocus and offer potential customers more choice with the launch of new variants under the existing badges. The new variants have been fine-tuned based on customer feedback. They will attempt to offer more value to the customer, even as competitors have been nibbling away at the companys market share. The new variants are basically spruced up versions of bikes that have either been performing below expectations or attracting customers only in specific markets. So, the obvious two to get the cosmetologist treatment are the TVS Victor GX and the Star. The 110cc Victor GX was not finding many takers from either the 100cc or the 125cc segments. Designed to attract the entry-level bike buyer interested in a bit more of power and style, the Victor GX (and for that matter the GLX) has not been able to stir up the same level of interest among potential customers that the original Victor had managed to do. Now, TVS is replacing the Victor GX with newly developed Victor Edge, and the principal change is the heart transplant. The old 110cc engine has been hauled out and a slightly tweaked version of the GLXs 125cc engine has been in its place. The new, fine-tuned 125cc engine delivers a higher 9.2 bhp of peak power against the 8.1 bhp that the earlier 110cc engine managed.

The extra power should give the Edge an advantage in the premium entry-level bikes category. However, TVS has not chosen to replace the four-speed gearbox with a Fivespeed shifter, a feature that more bikes in this segment want as part of the package.

BABASAB PATIL

Page 28

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY GULAPPANNAVAR TVS MOTOR

The Victor Edges engine performance has been aided by a roller cam follower for reducing friction losses, and this is expected to improve fuel-efficiency. The engine also features larger valves and a reworked air-box for better sir induction. Overall, the changes boost peak torque to a high 10 Nm at a low 4,000 rpm. The Edge also features changes to the chassis, including an increased wheelbase and a new box section swing arm for greater stability and better maneuverability, handling and ride. The Edges wheelbase has been increased from 1,200mm to 1,240mm, and comes with gas filled shock absorber at the rear. The other additions are optional alloy wheels and disc brakes, new dual tone side panel stickers with five color theme options, enhanced grip levers for better feel, and slightly reworked switchgear that feels more study and reliable. The Edge is priced at Rs. 40,990 (ex-showroom, Chennai). Along with the launch of the Victor edge, TVS has unveiled a new version of the companys barebones, entry-level 100cc bike. The Star (spelt as StaR) had replaced TVS long standing two-stroke entry-level bike series the erstwhile Max 100 and Max 100R last year. After the launch of the Star DLX, the slightly jazzed-up version of the basic stripped down model, the TVS Star City, launched earlier this month, will now attempt to offer

the entry-level biker who wants to continue to stick within the bounds of this segment, a bit more style and finish.

BABASAB PATIL

Page 29

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY GULAPPANNAVAR TVS MOTOR

The Star City will target a potential, fuel-efficiency conscious 100cc bike buyer who live in the city and will be willing to pay a marginally higher price for more features and better looks and finish quality. With that target audience, the bike is being offered with a new headlamp fairing and halogen bulb combo, easy-to-read instrumentation with a new blue backlight, push-cancel indicator switches, new spring shock absorbers with a hand-operated pre-load adjustment lever and a new sporty silencer and heat shield combo that feature the same diagonally chopped-off design that Yamaha first brought to the market. Seat width on the Star City has also been increased slightly to improve ride comfort for long distance travel. The roller cam follower technology that TVS first adopted in the Centra has been inducted into the Star City for friction reduction and increased mileage. The bike will also sport a new, more rigid, reinforced chassis frame and wider three-inch tyers at the rear for improved stability and road holding. Dual tone colors are also being offered and TVS will soon launch a new advertising campaign for all its three new variants-Sciity Pep+, Victor Edge and the Star City. There was a time, not long ago, when a two-wheeler meant a Bajaj Chetak or an LML Vespa. In the past five years or so, sales of motorcycles have outstripped sales of nearly all other two-wheelers.

Consumer preferences have shifted in favour of motorbikes and though this is partly related to price factors, it is also due to the fact that motorcycles are actually being seen as better vehicles than the heavy and unwieldy geared scooters.

BABASAB PATIL

Page 30

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY GULAPPANNAVAR TVS MOTOR

The sales tax rationalization that took place in the 2001 budget resulted in scooters becoming more expensive than before. In addition the government began to enforce strict Euro-emission norms which forced scooter manufacturers to install catalytic converters in existing vehicles or to go in for four-stroke engines to reduce pollution, thus adding to the costs of scooters. But, fortuitously, motorcycles were already in tandem with these new norms. Motorcycle, being more suited for commuting than any other vehicle, combines a variety of factors such as comfort, ability to handle bad roads and intrinsic stability. All this makes it extremely suitable for the Indian market. Here comes gearless but, curiously enough, in the past one year the scooter has not only back, but is surging ahead in sales-and this time it is sleeker, lighter and, most importantly, without gears. Indeed, in a number of B and C cities and small towns across India, women and teenagers are taking to gearless scooters like ducks to water. Its easy to see why. Gearless scooters are light and easy to handle, have sufficient compartments to carry goods and go easy on fuel, much like mopeds, with their almost legendary fuel-saving ability. In fact, in recent times, auto industry experts say there has been a discernible shift of buyers from mopeds to gearless scooters as the latter cost just a coupe of thousand more and come with sturdier bodies and better looks.

Around two year ago when sales of geared scooters started falling, a number of companies led by Honda Motor and Scooters India, which did not have a motorbike model in the market, launched gearless scooters in an effort to grow this segment.

BABASAB PATIL

The gearless scoters segment (75-125 cc) comprises four major players: Honda with the Active and the Dio; Kinetic with the Zoom and the Nova; Bajaj with the Sunny and the Saffire; and TVS with the Scooty.

Future Focus
In the future TVS Motor Company will be one among the top two 2 wheeler companies in India and one among the top five 2-wheeler companies in Asia. We will have profitable operations overseas, especially in Asian markets, capitalizing on our expertise in the areas of manufacturing, technology and marketing. The Company will hone and sustain its cutting edge of technology by constant benchmarking against international leaders. TQM will be a way of life and guide all our endeavors.
