PREFACE

Consumer behaviour is the key factor affecting the today's marketing environment.
After the liberaliation and the globalization there has been a sea change in the Indian market
scenario. The MNC's have entered the fray, which forced the Indian giants to change their
strategies. There is a cutthroat competition and in order to survive and to have an edge over
competitors, marketers have realized the value of consumers. Consumers orientation is the
key word in present times.
I feel it my pleasure to work on this topic and present this study in form of research project
report a that is essential for every MBA student. The purpose of this project is to provide the
students with the practical exposure of the market in today's changing scenario. It helps in the
development of practical skills and analytical thinking process. It provides with basic skills
required to perform the survey; and statistical tools required analyzing the data. Also it makes
more aware about the perceptions and tastes of consumers. Thus it helps in molding the
students according to the requirements of market.
Consumers buying preferences tastes choices have changed and they have
become more conscious. Change in consumers perception has lead to a situation
of unsatisfaction among consumers. There has been a lot of change in the rural consumers.
Their living standard has got uplifted and they are ready to spend more to have qualify
products.
The present study is based on the behaviour of the consumers in urban area (Hisar) while
purchasing cosmetics. It gives the information about the attitude, perception and effect of
social, cultural, economic, demographic and psychographics factors on purchase of the
consumers.

material as authentic as it could. And I earnestly hope that it provides useful and workable
information and knowledge to any person reading it.

Introduction :

Consumer awareness

Consumer awareness, which refers to a buyer's knowledge of a particular product or


company, allows the buyer to get the most from what he buys. Consumers know more about
their choices when they have product information and benefit from knowing their rights,
hearing about alerts and warnings and finding out about safety issues.

Need and importance of consumer awareness

1. To achieve maximum satisfaction


The income of every individual is limited. He wants to buy maximum goods and
services with his income. He gets full satisfaction only by this limited adjustment.
Therefore it is necessary that he should get the goods which are measured
appropriately and he should not be cheated in any way. For this he should be made
aware.

2. Protection against exploitation :


Producers and sellers exploit the consumers in many ways
as underweighting, taking more price than the market price, selling duplicate
goods etc. Big companies through their advertisement also mislead the consumers.
Consumer awareness shields them from the exploitation by producers and sellers.

3.Control over consumption of harmful goods :


There are several such goods available in market which cause harm to some
consumers. For example we can take goods like cigarette, tobacco, liquor etc. The
consumer education and awareness motivate people not to purchase such goods which
are very harmful for them.

7
4. Motivation for saving :
The awareness controls people from wastage of money and extravagancy and inspire
them to take right decision. Such consumers are not attracted by sale, concession, free
gifts, attractive packing etc due to which people can use their income in a right way
and can save money.
5. Knowledge regarding solution of problems :
The consumers are cheated due to illiteracy, innocence and lack of information.
Therefore it becomes necessary that the information about their rights should be
provided to them so that they cannot be cheated by producers and sellers. Through
consumer awareness they are also made known to the proceedings of laws so that they
can solve their problems.
6. Construction of healthy society :
Every member of the society is a consumer. So, if the consumer is aware and
rationale, then complete society becomes healthy and alert towards their rights.

OBJECTIVES
Objective of the Study:

Study on Consumer Awareness and Sales of Oppo Smartphone

Project on consumer awareness of Oppo Smartphone was carried out by me through


organizing and taking part in lot of events. The objectives for studying consumer behaviour
towards Oppo smartphones were -

To test the effectiveness of the communication of the offers to the consumers


To test the awareness level among public with respect to offers of Oppo
To assess the attractiveness of the offers to customers at Oppo
To sell Oppo Products when crowd was huge in the store

Key challenges for OPPO:

Lack of local advertising and application-oriented promotion makes for product-illiteracy


among local mark.
Brand awareness is there, but still lacks motivation for purchase consideration on much
level.
Lack of distributive expansion to all areas of the country.

Function of the job:


The main taskgiven to me was to increase sales.
Regular communication with shop owners of different markets and also with the
potential customers.
Visiting shops and emerging markets.

Sales inspection of different stores under mine.


Promote OPPO by spreading positive word of mouth communication.
Collecting the market information from the market.
Reporting the information to the manager.
Planning the new strategy for communicating with the clients.

24
Sales

I had learnt the sales process, consumer buying behavior and understanding customers need.
In Oppo the selling part basically depends on the company promoters. Company also focuses
on selling part like through the event in which Company gives some offers.

The selling which could not be done by the promoters in some shops the retailers themselves
promoted the product as they were provided with schemes and incentives.

The retailers who didn‟t had any promoters were given schemes such as if they could sell 25
cellphones of the company they became eligible to a get a company promoter for their shop.

In the events if the number of customers were increased to a level that could not be
entertained by the promoter then the company executive also helped the promoter in the
selling of the product. He only attempt one or two customer at the time, company people also
attempt the customer and tell him or her all the features of Oppo smart phone and generates
sale for the company.

Company also provide the skims to the retailers or Osr (promoters) to make more sale.

The company has different incentive offers for both retailers and company sales person. I
have to do institutional sales for Oppo mobile. My task was -

I have to go to shops to check the stocks, if the stocks are not there I have to take order and
push the products.
1. I have to look after that the shop is breaking MOP policy or not.
2. The company was providing incentives for institutional sales, if the sales person is
selling <10000 rs ph. then he will get 50Rs/phone, 10000Rs - 20000Rs phone then
100Rs/ phone, if 20000Rs-30000Rs phone then 150Rs/phone.
3. I used to give updated news and information about the phones.

population were the competing brands to assess OPPO‟s market position regarding certain in-
focus products at the moment.The

26
secondary population in this instance was representatives of these brand organizations in the
local/regional market. In order to decide which brands are these key competitors, local retailers
and consumers along with local OPPO supervisors were taken as another set of sample

Data interpretation:
Once the data were collected, regarding the interviews, need to review which materials
were relevant to the study and what actual analysis can be derived from the gathered
information. Tallying methods was used mostly in order to process the data gathered
through the questionnaire surveys. The
tallies were then converted to percentage-wise statistics, whereby a finalized analysis of
the survey data put together.
Observation and findings:
From my observation and practical survey on the branding strategy of OPPO,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:


Lack of local advertising and application-oriented promotion makes for product-
illiteracy among local mark.
Brand awareness is there, but still lacks motivation for purchase
consideration on much level.
Lack of distributive expansion to all areas of the country.

37
Conclusion:

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.
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.

With that being said, to be on top, OPPO must perform two critical tasks: design a great
product and build up a communication plan for it. 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.

38
Suggestion
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 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.
