competitive, only Vingroup has the potential to compete in it
in the Vietnamese market, aside from international
corporations.

Consequently, the more choices, the more

III. Marketing proposal
1. Marketing objective
 Selling 4000 electric cars in Vietnam from 1/1/2022 to 31/12/2022
18

lOMoARcPSD|14008902
 Increase awareness of VFe34 as a high quality and medium price by 55% by
30/11/2022
 Completing the construction of 450 charging stations in 64 provinces of Vietnam
by December 31, 2022.
2. STP strategy
 Segmentation and target
- Psychologycal segmentation: people have eco-enviroment lifestyle. Because this car
is aim for eco-enviroment character so that it suitable for this type of psychologycal
segmentation
- Behavioural segmentation: customers with purchasing habit “Vietnamese people use
Vietnamese goods”. This is due to the fact that some cutomers are faithful clients of
the Vietnamese product, they try to support domestic product as possible.
- Demographic segmentation: high-income. Because the price of a Vinfast car is said
to be 600 million VND, the average car buyer must have an income of about 40-50
million VND a month to be able to buy a car in one year.
3. Position strategy:
 USP: In case you can not control your electric car in English fluency, Vin cars
will assist you.
19

lOMoARcPSD|14008902
 Positioning message: Because the customer that Vinfast wants to target at this
time is Vietnamese. Understanding the psychology and obstacles of Vietnamese
customers when using foreign cars is that quite a few customers can control the
car in a foreign language, so Vinfast wants to aim for a local language, easy to use
in the domestic market. Control process for Vietnamese consumers.
4. Product
 According to Ansoff Matrix, the electric car is a new product in the Vietnamese
market as well as in the Vinfast manufacturing process , therefore VFe34 is a
diversification strategy. Even when method is deemed high-risk, it is appropriate
for Vinfast in the future in order to comply with environmental regulations (ban
gasoline cars from circulating in the inner city by 2025). Vinfast is also a
subsidiary of Vingroup, therefore it has the necessary means and financial resouce
to carry out this strategy.
 Core benefits: personal transportation, eco-enviroment product
 Generic product: electric car
 Expected product:
When buying VFe34, customers can experience a car can travel 400km per
charge, can connect to Apple card and Androi auto for controlling. About the
entertainment screen and information screen, the car has parameters are 9.5inch and
8inch, respectively. To meet the safety of user when driving, the producer created the
20

lOMoARcPSD|14008902
safety and driver assistance features such as obstruction notification, charging
notification, maintenance schedule and automatically call for help in case of
emergency. Last but not least, VFe34 model has a trendy and luxury design which is
satissfy buyer.
 Augmented product:
In order to create a highlight for Vietnamese customers, VFe34 has added support for
voice control in Vietnamese and support for car battery rental. Besides, Vinfast also
offers free Vinfast parking in areas under Vingroup such as Vinpearl, Vinhome.
Moreover, it is a preference during charging at Vinfast's charging stations: Vinfast's
cars will be given priority to be charged first compared to other car brands.
 Potential product:
To entice customer loyalty, Vinfast offers customers a 10-year warranty, along with a
policy of exchanging old for new, exchanging gas cars for electric cars to promote the
purchase mpre electric cars.
5. Price
 Pricing strategy: Because Vinfast is a new entrant in the auto industry and
especially in the production of electric cars. Therefore, its reliability is not as
great as that of companies with long-standing foundations such as Tesla,
21

lOMoARcPSD|14008902
Hyundai. Therefore, Vinfast's VFe34 will apply a penetration pricing strategy to
create the impression of a high-quality low-cost product of a new entrant in order
to improve the brand's influence and market share. Then will raise the price to a
competitive level to get better profit.
 The starting price of Vinfast electric cars is VND 600 million. This is a low price
for electric cars compared to competitors like Tesla with 1.65 billion VND.
However, after selling 400 cars and increasing 10% of the market share to raise
consumer awareness, the price of Vinfast electric cars will increase to 900 million
VND in order to generate profits for the company and increase its
competitiveness. compete on price with other competitors.
 In order raising price without ticking off company’s customers, Vinfast can
provide free car charging service within 1 year.
6. Place:
 Vinfast should apply the hybrid distribution structure which means not only
having showrooms and a website but also having a dealer as what the company is
doing with gasoline cars
 Using a direct-distribution with 55 showrooms global, and 57 service workshops,
including 16 VinFast Chevrolet points, and through website Vinfastauto.com.
Besides, it also uses an indirect distribution with 30 authorized dealers, in order to
select reputable dealers for themselves, Vinfast has used 3S: 1S (Sales); 2S
(Selling Services and Parts) and 3S (Sales and Supplying Services and Parts) to
22

lOMoARcPSD|14008902
increase coverage and convenience for consumers. Vin dealers must fully meet
the requirements in terms of area, service and design, thereby improving
customer experience, increasing credibility, contributing to market penetration
and increasing market share in Vietnam as well as internationally.
 However, with the influence of the Covid pandemic as well as the development of
technology, online shopping is now a suitable trend in this context. Therefore,
Vinfast should have a separate platform for its company to serve online sales.
7. Promotion
 Target audience: Focus on Vietnamese people's psychology to use Vietnamese
goods and want to protect environment
 Planned marketing
Advertising - Using digital marketing: by working with third-party influencers to
promote the electric car on social media such as Instagram, Facebook,
Youtube. For example, model Chau Bui, she participated in the campaign as
well as the "No, Thanks" song to call on young people to protect the
environment.

include the recipient's name is a proven approach to enhance open and click-
through rates.
Public - Open auto shows so that Vietnamese people may recognize the brand image

mouth. Such as free car charger 2 times when posting comments about Vinfast

marketing 1 other person to buy an electric car.
8. People
 Training corporate customer service personnel: since being able to deliver
outstanding customer care to clients may be considered as a differentiating
element from the competition. As a result, businesses spend to train their
customer support representatives. This should include both the technical and
human elements of the position. This implies that they should be well-versed in
the details of their products and services. At the same time, they must have
personality and truly care about their consumers.
 Staff design and write website content: Because the company is expanding its
online sales, it needs to meet the needs of consumers when buying online. At the
same time, attract customers through reputable, sympathetic and attractive
articles.
 Should give incentives to its sales team in the form of bonuses for hitting
objectives or commissions on sales.

employees
26

lOMoARcPSD|14008902

- Hotline to support opens 24/7
10. Physical evidence
