4. Market Analysis
Marketing Strategy is very important for every company. Especially for product oriented
companies Marketing is a key thing that needs to have more focus. Nokias marketing strategy is
based on the customer needs. That is why Nokia is successfully running a customer oriented
marketing plan. Customer Satisfaction is very important for every business. For the past few
years customer feedback of Nokia is extremely high. It is seen that the potential new customers
are buying the Nokia and switching to Nokia from other Mobile Manufacturers like Samsung,
Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG. The switching is more to Nokia when compared to other
mobiles
6.1 Customer Perception:
Customer Perception of Nokia is increased for the past few years. Nokia customers are
getting the product for the money; the quality of the product is extremely high when
compared to other mobiles in the market. The Nokia Products are fashionable and looks
great for the money the customer spent on it. The reliability of the Product is considerable
increased for the past few reports. Nokias predictability is low when comes to customer
needs and expectations. Nokia released the touch screen phone so late. While other
8 | P a g e

competitors are releasing the touch screen product once in every week, but Nokia remains
silent on this issue. Nokias market prediction needs to be improved and they have to
implement the expectations of the customer in quick time. Customer prediction plays the
important role in keeping the current share of the Nokia in the Global Mobile market
intact. The marketing strategy of Nokia brings good profit to the company. These profits
are utilized for future growth of the Company. This profit must satisfy the existing
stakeholders. More investments are being made by the Existing Stakeholders as well as
by the new Stakeholders.
6.2 Increases the product sale:
Every organization needs to ensure that the organization develops as the product sale
increases. This satisfactory progression is made by Nokia. Most of the products of Nokia
is developed so far yields good results and incomes. This type of revenue generation
helps to develop the company. Every Marketing Strategy must be planned with the care
of Environment concerns. Nokia have to keep track of the technology advancement in the
mobile technology. It is high time that Nokia needs to take care of the Slow down in the
market. Every change in the market must be watched to take effective actions in the
marketing plan. Environmental Analysis European commission has given a good review
about the good reviews of Nokias Mobile Phones. This commission consists of the
environmental experts like UKs Environment Department, Food and Rural Affairs of
UK and the members of BEUC. This panel has made some suggestions to reduce the
certain amount of substance that will cause some harm to environment. This group has
the objective of reducing the consumption of energy, prohibited materials must be
avoided, and buying new phones by exchanging new phones must be encourages in order
recycling the old ones. The customer must be provided the full information about the
environmental concerned material.
6.3 Competitor Analysis:
Nokia suffers huge competition from the Mobile Manufactures like Sony Ericsson,
Motorola, Siemens, Panasonic, Sagem, NEG and Toplux. These manufacturers are
having the technology in their hand and providing the mobile at the cheapest prices.
However the customer care of Nokia is extremely providing the incomparable service to
their customer base. Nokia is also getting fresh new competition from the Google and
Apple. These companies are branded companies in 3G technologies available in the
market. Smart Phone is the latest buzz in the mobile industry that spreads around for
quite some time. Nokia launches the new touch screen mobile phone 5800 XpressMusic.
This is the first touch screen model released by Nokia. Nokia VP Jo Harlow said that, By
adding the benefits of touch-screen technology to S60, the world's leading Smartphone
interface, Nokia is taking the familiar and giving it a human touch, However there is not
considerable threat to Nokia, as the market share of Apple iPhone 3G is somewhat small.
9 | P a g e

Nokias 5800 are based on the S60 Platform and it is operated using the operating system
called Symbion. This is not a new operating system in the market. It is also used by other
mobile manufactures like Samsung, Panasonic and LG. Nokia should consider the
importance of introducing the mobiles having different variations from the previous
releases. Nokia released its first touch screen after the long release of LG only. Nokia is
the big player in the Mobile industry for the past 10 years, but they are not eager to
experiment things. Other competitors like LG, Samsung released the touch screen as soon
as their entered into the mobile industry market
According to recent reports, Nokia is the best selling mobile phone around the globe. It
has the market share of around 37.2% in the Global market. Other competitors are having
less market share only when compared to Nokias Market share. The gap between the
Motorola and Nokia is very big. Motorola have 17.3% and it is far less than the Nokia.
Motorola has to think big to come near to the Nokias Achievement. The competition
between the Samsung and Siemens is very tough and they are the potential competitors to
Nokia in some factors. Samsung and Siemens providing the clean and clear voice with
good network support.
6.4 SWOT Analysis:
6.4.1 Strengths:

compete with dozens of small firms instead of four large firms as it currently
does.
Dilute brand by expanding into internet services.
Overpaying for web services.
Alienate the carriers.
6.5 Key Issues:
Nokia is very conscious about the business mobility market and with the support of its
reliable partners, is able to extend its mobile business solution worldwide. Mobilization is
very easy and cost effective with the IT involvement. Nokia completely relies on phased
approach, developing a particular area of mobility after another. Hence organization can
easily take advantage of mobilization and attain benefits of workforce like high employee
flexibility and increased productivity within very short time period. The balanced various
approaches of Nokia made it as a leader in the market. By aligning the internal strengths and
external opportunities, balancing the emergent and planned strategies Nokia retrieved the

in mobile phone industry

Satisfying the customer needs and expectation is the main goal of any branded company.
Nokia spent some time on this to develop products according to the Customer
expectations. It is totally a waste of time, if you cannot manufacture according to the
customer needs.
7.4 Generating income or profit:
Every organization needs to be function only if they are getting sufficient profit from the
business. Obviously providing quality service is the main objective but without money
you cannot provide quality service. Getting high returns will also satisfy your
shareholders as well as it will provide the opportunity to get more investment on the
Nokia.
7.5 Be aware of the environment:
Every organization must have a look around the environment to perceive what is
happening in the market. Nokia has given some high priority to this issue. Some of the
key things are mobile technology advancement, slow down of the market, rapid growth
of the market, updating the mobile technology news, saturation level in the market and
changing trends with the market.

chose the youth market that is falling between the ages of 20-50. They conducted a
research that the youths receiving lot of packet money and they are not having any
commitments to spend that money. So they can easily buy mobiles from the pocket
money. Nokia is branded company and can able spend lot of money on promoting and
advertising the product. However companies smaller than Nokia cannot able to afford big
amount for the ads. Television ads gives good results buy it must be played at right time
to attract huge number of audiences. Nokia has also had the idea of targeting the business
people. For this reason Nokia conducted some events to promote the product among the
businessmens. They placed the ad in television and banner where the large number of
audience can get view the ads. Nokia spreads the product also in the magazines.
Particularly in mens magazines, because the large amount of Nokia Phones are bought

The phone was unveiled in September 2006 and was released at the end of March 2007.
On March 22, 2007 Nokia was shipping N95 in key European, Asian and Middle Eastern
markets.
On April 7, 2007, the N95 went on sale in the United States through Nokia's Flagship
stores in New York and Chicago and through Nokia's nseries.com website. No US
carriers were expected to offer this phone. The U.S. version started retailing without
carrier branding or discounts in Nokia's flagship stores in New York and Chicago on
September 26, 2000.
On August 29, 2007, two updated versions of the N95 were announced at a press event in
London; first, the N95-2 (N95 8GB), an updated version for the European/Asian markets
with 8 gigabytes of internal storage and larger screen; secondly, the N95-3 (N95 NAM),
replacing the original 2100 MHz W-CDMA air interface with support for the 850 MHz
and 1900 MHz frequencies used for the 3G networks of most GSM-compatible mobile
carriers in the Americas, including AT&T Mobility.

9.4 Main Benefits of N95:
An exciting firmware update for the original Nokia N95-1 saw light recently. After few
days of testing it out, we can now confirm that it has really improved the performance of
one of the top multimedia devices on the market. Here is a short summary of what we've
found to be the most important upgrades that are introduced with it.
The actual firmware updating of the device is really simple. All you have to do is
download the Nokia Software Updater from the Finnish company's website, install it, and
then run with the phone connected to your PC via the USB cable. For the purpose of
software updating, you should use the "USB PC Suite profile" for connecting to the PC.
After that all you need to do is follow the really simple instructions of the software
updater application and you will end up having a Nokia N95 with brand new 20.0.015
software.
After the update is done, the first change you will see is the added line for the search
application on the active stand-by screen. The next thing you'll see is the rearranged
menu plus the added N-Gage icon for accessing the games for the platform. Finally, the
music shop kicks in, allowing quick and convenient purchasing of your favorite tracks.
But this is just a small part of all the niceties the new firmware brings.
The On Demand Paging is also included meaning that now only the most essential parts
of the programs are loaded in the RAM memory with the rest of them remaining on the
phone's memory. This leads to more free RAM and better battery life at the same time.
