Auditing
I have done Price auditand Stock audit in the market (Amritsar city
and PCMC market) I had learnt the technique and the process of
auditing and also the
importance of auditing.
I was asked to do price auditing in the allotted shops. The main agenda of
price auditing is to check which shop breaks the company MOP policy. If
any shop breaks company‟s MOP policy then they are fined. If the shop
sells the mobile below the range then company fine that shop of Rs.
20000. As well as they stop producing bill of that shop and take away all
the stock of that company.
In this part where the oppo smartphone not present in any shop my work
is that to convert the shop owner for keep our product. I was converted
8shops in Amritsar during my SIP.

Sales
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.
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-
25
1. 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.
2. I have to look after that the shop is breaking MOP policy or not.
3. 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.
4. I used to give updated news and information about the phones.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Methods and procedures:
26
Every Research work should be conducted through a specific and
predetermined methodology to explore an effective research outcome.
The nature of the study is a qualitative research. It has been conducted
with a methodology and the laments of methodology are as following:
Primary sources
Secondary sources
Primary sources:
Primary data have been collected by direct interviews and
conversations with the Smartphone users in the Amritsar sales region
of OPPO INDIA Co. Ltd.
Secondary sources:
I collected the secondary data from following sources:
OPPO Sales Manual.
The website of OPPO (www.oppo.com.bd).
Brochure of OPPO.
Different journals and publications related with Smartphone branding
strategy.
Other relative research papers.
Sampling:
The method I have used to collect data is random sampling method. For
this I had choose 150 people.
As the desired result of this report was to be able to recommend solutions
that will raise the popularity for OPPO Smartphones as a brand in the
local market, the primary sample population were the competing brands
to assess OPPO‟s market position regarding certain in-focus products at
27
the moment.The 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 population. This done, the expertise of company employees
and partners were sought to build the overview of the current market
possibilities in lieu of the current situation of the local
telecommunications industry.

Data interpretation:
Once the data were collected, regarding the interviews, my supervisor
at OPPO Amritsar Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. was consulted
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.

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.
Suggestion
41
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
42
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.
43
CONCLUSION
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.
