Recommendations, conclusions Introduction Comparative Study of Marketing Strategies of Two Automobile


Companies A marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its limited resources on the
greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. It’s a written plan which
combines product development, promotion, distribution, and pricing approach, identifies the firm's marketing goals,
and explains how they will be achieved within a stated timeframe. Marketing strategy determines the choice of target
market segment, positioning, marketing mix, and allocation of resources. It is most effective when it is an integral
component of firm strategy, defining how the organization will successfully engage customers, prospects, and
competitors in the market arena. Marketing strategies serve as the fundamental underpinning of marketing plans
designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives. Marketing strategies are dynamic and interactive. It may
differ depending on the unique situation of the individual business. On the Canvas of Indian Economy, Auto Industry
occupies a prominent place. Automobile sector is one of the cores of Indian Industry. Continuous economic
liberalisation over the years by the Government of India has resulted in making India as one of the prime business
destination for many global automotive players. One of the largest industries in India, automotive industry has been
witnessing impressive growth during the last two decades. Indian automobile industry has a mix of large domestic
private players such as Tata, Mahindra, Bajaj, Ashok Leyland and major international players including GM, Ford, Toyota,
Honda, Hyundai, etc. To remain in this competitive market on has to come up different ideas and strategies. Various
Marketing Strategies enables a firm to expand business activities for market reputation, to satisfy human wants, to lead
to specialisation and efficient performance of production function climaxing in economic stability. After liberalization
automobile Industry is growing at very high rate and many new companies have also entered into market. With
offering variety of cars in all segments for everyone. So it is important to know which company is providing us good
quality cars at fair prices and providing better after sales services, and how they are trying to reach customers. The
most obvious objective marketers have for promotional activities is to convince customers to make a decision that
benefits the marketer (of course the marketer believes the decision will also benefit the customer). For most for-profit
marketers this means getting customers to buy an organization’s product and, in most cases, to remain a loyal long-
term customer. However, marketers must understand that getting customers to commit to a decision, such as a
purchase decision, is only achievable when a customer is ready to make the decision.

Maruti Suzuki’s Profile In early 1980s Indian Govt decided to produce a small car, which would be within buying reach
of Indian middle class. The obvious place to shop for technology was Japan, which had developed world class
capabilities in small cars by that time. It was not Toyota, or Nissan, or Honda, three largest players in Japan, but Suzuki,
a much smaller company with strong capabilities in making small cars. Suzuki grabbed the opportunity with both
hands and formed a joint venture with govt. called Maruti Udyog. Maruti Udyog Limited, a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor
Corporation of Japan, has been the leader of the Indian car market for about two decades. Its manufacturing plant,
located some 25 km south of New Delhi in Gurgaon, has an installed capacity of 3,50,000 units per annum, with a
capability to produce about half a million vehicles. Maruti rolled out its 1st car, Maruti 800 with 800cc engine in
December 1983. This model targeted at masses and was launched as “People’s car”. In early 2003, Maruti Udyog, a
joint venture between Suzuki and Indian Govt. dominated India’s automobile market with 54% market share and with
annual production capacity of 5lac cars. The company dominated Indian Small car market with a share of 100% in A
sag, 36% in B sag and 86% overall. The company has a portfolio of 11 brands, including Maruti 800, Omni, premium
small car Zen, international brands Alto and WagonR, off-roader Gypsy, mid size Esteem, luxury car Baleno, the MPV,
Versa, Swift and Luxury SUV Grand Vitara XL7.In recent years, Maruti has made major strides towards its goal of
becoming Suzuki Motor Corporation's R and D hub for Asia. It has introduced upgraded versions of WagonR, Zen and
Esteem, completely designed and styled in-house. Maruti's contribution as the engine of growth of the Indian auto
industry, indeed its impact on the lifestyle and psyche of an entire generation of Indian middle class, is widely
acknowledged. Its emotional connect with the customer continuesMaruti tops customer satisfaction again for 8t year
in a row according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific. India Customer Satisfaction Index Study. The company has also
ranked highest in India Sales Satisfaction Study.In keeping with its leadership position, Maruti supports safe driving and
traffic management through mass media messages and a state-of-
the art driving training and research institute that it

Since Independence the Car Industry was closely monitored and controlled by the government till 1981. Limited
choices were available to the car buyers due to the limited manufacturers and tight supply. Hindustan Motors (HM) and
Premier Automobile (PAL) that were set up in 1940's dominated the vehicle market and industry. In the 1950s, the
arrival of Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, and Mahindra & Mahindra led to steadily increasing vehicle production in India, while
the 1960s witnessed the establishment of the two- and three-
wheeler industry in India. But between 1970 to the
economic liberalization of 1991, the automobile industry continued to grow at a slow pace due to the many
government restrictions. However, the automotive industry witnessed tremendous growth after the entry of Maruti
Udyog in the 1980s. In 1981 the government decided to review their car industry policy and found that the segment
was neglected and there was a big market available for cars. The existing cars available in the market were costly and
technically less sound with compare to international standard. Then government initiated dialogues with Suzuki
Motors, a Japanese car manufacturing company, finalized a joint venture, and formed a company named Maruti
Udyog Limited (MUL). The initial venture was between Government of India with a share of 74% and Suzuki Motor with
a share of 26%.That was a revolutionary step taken for the car industry in India. In 1983 MUL launched its first car in
India (Maruti 800) with a price tag of Rs.40,000/-.This development was a big shock to the existing car manufacturers
and they also rushed to improve and increase their product line After the lifting of licensing in 1993 by government, 17
new ventures came up, of which 16 are for manufacture of cars. Today, almost all of the major global players are
present in India. The automotive industry is today a key sector of the Indian economy and a major foreign exchange
earner for the country. Government:- 1981 was the year when government taken a revolutionary initiative to review
and reform its policy related to car industry. Now getting permission to produce cars in India is easier and new entrants
are coming almost every year. Government has also imposed heavy imposed heavy import duties on imported vehicles
to safeguard the car manufactured locally. POST- LIBERALIZATION PERIOD:- Following the economic reforms of 1991,
the automobile section underwent delicensing and opened up for 100 percent Foreign Direct Investment. A surge in
economic growth rate and purchasing power led to growth in the Indian automobile industry, which grew at a rate of
17% on an average since the economic reforms of 1991.India's automotive components industry is being urged by the
government to partner with overseas firms with the aim of making India a platform for outsourcing as well as a global
R&D hub. As the Indian vehicle production industry has grown, so has the domestic supplier industry. But the global
auto industry's search for lower cost and more international outsourcing has led to a sharp growth in component
output and exports in recent years. The positive demographic factors, stable macro-economic environment and pro-
reform policies of the government, low manufacturing costs, availability of skilled labour has attracted almost all major
global auto players making their way into India like GM, Ford, Daewoo, Honda and Toyota The intense competition has
compelled the manufacturers to launch the latest global offering in India as early as possible. It has also enabled to
keep the prices of the vehicles under check. The consumers, in turn, have benefited from wide choice of models,
technologically advanced cars and better service from the car manufacturers. Major Manufacturers in Automobile

COMMON MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES ➢ Advertising in News papers and Magazines:- In
this companies advertise about the car in various local newspapers like Economic times and they give detail
explanation about the feature of the cars, keeping customer’s requirement. They also provide various dealers addresses
and contact numbers for reference. Company also tries to advertise through various magazines like Auto Cars,
Overdrive, etc. ➢ Grand Launch :- Recently Tata Nano car was grandly launched and created a buzz in market. After
the launch media aggressively took interest in providing the minute details about the car to the customer by showing
test drives, etc.Once the car is launched they give adds in every possible newspaper, car magazines, put hoardings,
display car models in the malls. ➢ Company provides exchange offers to customers:- This is one of the most effective
ways adopted by the companies and very successful marketing strategy, which has helped company increase their
sales. In this method, companies provide option to buy a new car of your choice in exchange of their old cars, but the
price of old car is decided by the dealer by looking at its condition. It helps customers, as they don’t need to go
anywhere else to sell their old car. This also helps companies to increase their sale of new cars. ➢ Adding Star Value to
product- Brand Ambassador:- Companies choose brand ambassadors for their cars to reach wide masses. For e.g.
Shahrukh Khan promotes Hyundai, Abhishek \Bachan promoted Ford Fiesta, Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee
promoted Chevrolet Aveo and Amir Khan promoted Toyota Innova. Ambassadors give a special identity to the
products. ➢ Companies have started sponsoring reality shows for better visibility:- As we all know reality shows are
making all time big in television and entertainment industry. This is really a smart move by automobile companies to
gain visibility through reality shows. The reality shows are aired all over the world and huge number of people watches
it. So companies sponsor such shows and get noticed.E.g. Maruti sponsored India’s Got Talent show on Colors channel
and gifted Ritz to the winner. Indian Idol winner was also gifted with Maruti SX4. ➢ Mall Displays Various companies
display their cars in Malls so as to get prime attention. People go in Malls for shopping and hangouts with their friends
and family. They conduct small contests and give gift hampers as prize. Thus they try to attract crowd towards them.
➢ Companies enter market with help of Film:- In terms of marketing strategies Chevrolet Aveo found a unique way of
advertising by way of a Yash Raj Film production, Tara Rum Pum. The main motive behind this was to popularize and
promote the product in youth. ➢ Companies Sponsor Go- Karting events:- Go-karting events are really booming up
among young crowd. And that’s the reason we see craze for participating in go-karting events is on high. People have
started taking interest in the sport and huge crowds turn up for such events. But for sure car companies would to not
like to miss chance of visibility they get in such competitions.Few years before Maruti Suzuki sponsored Autocross rally.
Similarly Tata Engenieering has sponsored Narayan Kartikeyan as India’s Entry in to the World Series motorcar racing. ➢
Personal selling:- Personal Selling largely takes place at the Dealers’ End. The way customer is attended depends
mainly on the Dealer as he acts as an interface between the company and the Consumer. The various cases in which
Personal Selling takes place is Individual Sales, Corporate Sales, Sales Presentations, Fair and trade Shows. Mostly in
case of Individual Sales the Customer goes to the showroom and takes a look at the product. There he is attended to
by the Sales Personnel of the Dealership. Sometimes the Senior Sales Executive has to make Sales Presentation to
Corporate Buyers. Personal Selling is also practiced at Trade Fairs and Auto Shows wherein the Company appointed
Sales Personnel attend prospective customers and also book their orders 1

Suggestions and Recommendations To Dealers:- As dealers directly interact with customers, they should maintain
proper Customer Relationship Strategy. They should differ service benefits and offerings according to the various
customers segments. Which may include classification on the basis of -income group -Age group Dealers should help
customers in taking right decision for buying car and should give complete information about car before customer
purchase car. The customers purchasing car on instalment basis, should also be provided with additional accessories
as there is in case of cash purchase. Dealers should provide good after sales service and should maintain good
relations with customers so that reference can be get and goodwill is create. To Company:- Maruti should more
frequently come with mid-size models like sx4 and swift as this sedan model is doing very good in market. Maruti and
Hyundai should come up with diesel model of mid-size cars as market survey says that the use of diesel cars will
increase by 50% by 2010. Hyundai should try to increase their number of dealers and service stations so that customers
can get better service. Both companies should try to build trust in customers as competition is increasing day by day.
Company should try to give some good schemes and offers and discounts for old and new customers. Maruti should
try to expand its range of cars from small car and hatchbacks to more mid-
size cars like sx4 and swift mid size version
Conclusion Maruti suzuki is good in its marketing strategy and shows good results. And as Maruti has its vast network
of dealers and service centres they are able to provide good after sales services and are able to maintain good
relationship with customers which are their strongest point. Maruti is also benefited with its goodwill and Brand name
which is already there in market. So Maruti can use these as an opportunity to bring new and innovative car models in
market and try to attract more and more customers. It can be seen that Maruti is trying to attract customers from all
segments by launching cars like sx4, Swift, Ritz but their main preference is “A” segment cars only Hyundai strategies of
endorsing their products with celebrities has got a very good response but Hyundai should advertise better to create a
good picture of its products by transferring the key good things about its cars. Hyundai has a good track record of
having successful diesel mid size cars in its portfolio and it should Ancash the same opportunity to launch the diesel
versions of small car before Maruti too have competitive advantage. And Hyundai should also try to increase their
service centres so that customers can find it convenient. Bibliography Books:- Marketing Marketing Management
