This article not only reviews and evaluates the influencing factors, but also above all provides a
base system, information as well as a specific strategy to help Momo accomplish the set goals.
Specific content will be presented in the marketing plan mentioned below.

II. Environmental Analysis

A. Marketing Environment
1. Natural Environment:
In addition to the fact that urban centers have been directing people to cashless purchases and QR
codes to help businesses accept cashless payments, limiting exposure to infection in the
community in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic has made it difficult for people to access
goods and services in the old way and gradually switch from direct shopping to online forms. This
is a big turning point for the development of payment gateways and e-wallets when paying online,
causing the rate of this form of payment to increase for e-wallets in general and Momo in
particular.
2. Company resources and goals:

3. Competitive Environment

With more than 40 e-wallet providers, competition in the Vietnamese market is fierce. According to
the latest research by Cimigo, MoMo, Moca, and ZaloPay are the top three most popular e-wallets in
Vietnam's two major cities, accounting for more than 90% of the total market share. This study is
being undertaken to examine the three brands and demonstrate the rivalry that MOMO faces in the e-
wallet business.

4. Cultural and Social environment


- Rural areas are being targeted by many Fintech companies in the future.
- According to a summary from the Digital marketing report of 2019 by WeareSocial and
Hootsuite, among 64 million Internet users in Vietnam, the number of users using mobile devices
is 61.73 million people (accounting for 96% of internet users). Besides, according to 2019
statistics, the percentage of Vietnamese people using the Internet daily is 94% and 6% is the
number of people who use the Internet at least once a week. Through statistics, it can be seen that
Internet users in Vietnam do not separate from Internet-related activities for more than a week.
That shows a great opportunity to increase the number of e-wallet users in the future.
- According to Asian Banker Research, it is expected that in 2020 in Vietnam, the total number
of e-wallet users is expected to exceed 10 million people.
- E-wallets are increasingly becoming a familiar form of payment for consumers today. In 2018,
Vietnam's Internet payment had a growth rate of 33.6% in terms of items and 19.5% in terms of
amount compared to 2017. Mobile payments achieved even more impressive growth, with 41.4%
in number of items and 169.5% in amount compared to 2017.
- Vietnam is also moving towards a 90% cashless economy by 2020 by reducing cash
transactions and increasing electronic payments. Accordingly, at least 50% of total households in
the city will use electronic payment services for daily transactions by 2020.
- By the end of October 2019, MoMo is a direct affiliate partner of 16 banks, currently having
about 8 million users in Vietnam, the goal is to increase to 16 million users by the end of 2019.
Based on the level of popularity, from the subscriber data and market share announced by e-wallet
businesses themselves, MoMo is currently the e-wallet with the largest and most popular market
share in Vietnam. In terms of transaction volume, MoMo has more than tripled in 2018. MoMo
has also reached 200 million transactions/year with a total payment value of $1.2 billion/year
(Thuy Dieu, 2019).

5. Economic Environment:

5.1/ The situation of digital economy development in Vietnam

Vietnam's digital economy, according to international organizations, has made rapid and promising
developments compared to the region and the world.

According to the e-Conomy SEA Report 2020, Vietnam's Internet/platform digital economy
component alone has reached 14 billion USD, placing the country third in ASEAN.
Because of its robust telecommunications and IT infrastructure, wide coverage, and high user
density, Vietnam's digital economy has risen rapidly. For the first time in history, Vietnam is
participating in the fourth industrial revolution, the digital transformation revolution, and we have an
excellent opportunity to break through and get ahead. With a large population, a golden population
structure, a strong digital workforce, and a large number of Internet and smartphone users, Vietnam is
a large market with a lot of possibilities for innovative business models. Covid 19 is a global calamity,
but it is also a century-long push for digital change and economic prosperity.

However, the legal and institutional system in Vietnam has not created favorable conditions for the
development of the digital economy; the insufficient implementation of programs and policies to
develop the digital economy; digital skills and digital human resources have not met the requirements
of the digital economy; and enterprises' weak digital transformation capacity.

The opportunities and challenges for the development of Vietnam's digital economy as described
above pose an urgent need for a strategy to guide and guide the Government.In June 2020, the Prime
Minister identified digital transformation, development of the digital economy and digital society as
the strategic focus of our country in the coming period, and set very high and specific goals by 2025,
including: : digital economy accounts for 20% of GDP; the proportion of the digital economy in each
industry or field shall reach at least 10%; annual labor productivity increase by at least 7%; fiber optic
broadband network infrastructure covers over 80% of households and 100% of communes;
universalization of 4G/5G mobile network services and smart mobile phones; Vietnam is in the group
of 50 leading countries in the information technology index (IDI) and the competitiveness index (GCI).
5.2. E-commerce in Vietnam

E-commerce is one of Vietnam's digital economy's fastest-growing sectors. E-commerce is an


unavoidable business and consumption trend associated with the advancement of Internet technology
and business service development to meet consumer needs. According to the Vietnam E-commerce
and Information Technology Agency (VECITA), e-commerce in Vietnam is growing at a 35% annual
rate, which is 2.5 times faster than in Japan. Vietnam's online retail sales totaled US$6.2 billion in
2020, more than doubling from the previous year. The number of people participating in online
shopping in Vietnam has steadily increased and now stands at 40 million. This means that one out of
every two people buys something online..

5.3 Digital Payment Trend:

With the expansion of the Vietnamese e-commerce sector comes the expansion of digital payment
methods. The COVID-19 pandemic has made digital payment services, particularly e-wallets, the
"new normal" for many of Vietnam's highly connected consumers. In 2020, there were approximately
19.2 million mobile wallet users in the country, with the number of users expected to nearly triple
between 2020 and 2025. According to a survey conducted in 2021, e-wallets were used by nearly
60% of respondents across Vietnam. This rate was significantly higher in larger cities like Ha Noi
and Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the Summary of Vietnam Digital Advertising 2018-2022, the use of popular e-wallets in
Viet Nam's major cities is significant. According to the city's e-wallet usage in the previous three
months in 2021, 64% of Hanoi people surveyed used e-wallets, 68% in Ho Chi Minh City, 42% in
other provinces, and 59% across the country. According to Statista, the number of mobile wallet
users in Vietnam reached 19.2 million in 2020, and the number of mobile wallet users in Vietnam is
expected to reach 57 million by 2025.
5.4 Leading e-wallets in the Vietnamese market:

In recent years, in the Vietnamese market, financial technology companies (Fintech) have competed
fiercely for this lucrative market share by launching a series of e-wallets brands such as Momo,
Samsung Pay, VTC Pay, Bank plus, Payoo, ZaloPay, 1Pay, AirPay,...

With nearly 40 different e-wallets, 6 prominent e-wallet brands include Momo, ZaloPay, ViettelPay,
Shopee Pay, Moca, and VNPTPay. According to the report from Statista, Momo is the most popular
mobile wallet brand in Vietnam 2020, account 53% of the market shared; the following mobile wallet
brands are ViettelPay (25.2%)l AirPay (10.6%); ZaloPay (5.3%); Others (4%); GrabPay (2%). The
research conducted in October among e-wallet users nationwide of 589 respondents shows that Momo is
the most popular e-wallet brand in Vietnam, shared by 86% of respondents; ZaloPay (64%); ShopeePay
(AirPay) (48%); ViettelPay (45%); Moca (20%); VNPT Pay (12%).
Momo is a prominent e-wallet popularly used by Generation Z (54%), Millennials (59%), and GenX
(47%) according to the chart, with ZaloPay being the second most popular app in the GenX group and
ShopeePay being the most popular app in the GenZ and Millennials groups (AirPay). MoMo
demonstrates its strength once again by diversifying its services, payment utilities, and affiliate
partners. Following a World Bank survey conducted in 2021, Vietnam will be among the top three
countries in Asia, with 29.1% of mobile payment app users accounting for 29.1% of the market share.

6. Political and legal environment

- In Vietnam, according to current regulations, a prerequisite to become an e-wallet service


provider - must be an organization providing intermediary payment services. This organization
may be a bank or a non-bank but must be licensed by the State Bank to operate in the field of
providing intermediary payment services. In addition, for organizations that are not banks, other
conditions must be met such as: must have an establishment license or an enterprise registration
certificate provided by a competent state agency; has an approved business plan for intermediary
payment services following regulations on investment competence in the organization's operating
charter; has a minimum charter capital of VND 50 billion; meet the conditions of personnel,
facilities and technical infrastructure.
- As of December 2019, there are 32 non-banking organizations that have been licensed by the
SBV to provide intermediary payment services. Most of these units provide e-wallet services,
electronic payment gateways, support for collection and payment, and electronic money transfer
(Hong Ha, 2019).

7. Technological Environment:
Over the years, digital service providers have continuously improved their systems to
reach more clients. There have been several trends that these providers have followed from the
past to the present. These driving forces have shaped the digital wallet industry to be more and
more convenient and useful for its customers.
Digital wallets were originally created to offer customers another means of payment.
Instead of using cash or credit cards, digital wallet users can just do it by holding their phones out
to a card reader. This technology allows quicker transfer with fewer steps as well as more
security.
Nowadays, there are more than one force driving the development of digital wallets. These
services can now replace traditional wallets in different ways, from buying tickets to investing in
stocks. Companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google, who offer the operating systems for such
devices, have emerged as some of the major participants in digital wallets as digital wallets have
grown more integrated into our smart gadgets. While payment systems like Paypal, Venmo, and
Cash App, which provide digital wallets to their clients, have developed into some of the largest
financial firms in the world, retailers like Alibaba and Walmart have also gotten involved.
Digital wallet providers are rapidly upgrading and diversifying their services. One of the
key factors of using e-wallets is asset types and methods of payment. Being a mix between a
storage and a transaction medium, a digital wallet can be a closed, semi-closed or open wallet
application, referring to whether it can perform transactions with different services or banks.
Digital wallets all over the world also involve centralized and decentralized storing systems.
Regarding accessing customers’ assets, nowadays digital wallets allow mobile, web, Internet of
Things (IoT) and crypto access. These are just a few of the services digital wallets currently
provide.
Nowadays, Momo e-wallet offers over 200 different features, ranging from money
transfers, saving with interest, to making donations or taking loans. Advertising itself with
multiple features, great ease of use, nation-wide popularity, and world-class security, Momo e-
wallet is considered ahead of the technology race compared to its direct competitors in Vietnam.
In the future, it is expected for the digital wallet industry to further improve its customers’
experience. The most mentioned development opportunities include global access, great user-
experience through high security and diverse customization options, etc.
B. Target Market
In the period of 2020 - 2027, Vietnam has become one of the world’s most rapidly growing in
digital transactions, at 30.2% per year. According to the National Bank’s statistics, nearly 70% of
Vietnamese adults own bank accounts, however, there are only 13 million digital wallet accounts.
Nowadays, 80% of the Vietnamese population still uses cash for their daily purchases; 98% will
use cash to pay for transactions under 100,000 VND. In reality, about 59% of the Vietnamese
population is not familiar with digital wallets. However, the return rate of people that have already
used an e-wallet is around 77%, which is considered high.
MoMo doesn't extend out across all market segments since they are aware of their strengths and
shortcomings; instead, they pick the one that best suits them. People with modest incomes or those
who work away from home are included in this target category. They don't need a high limit when
it comes to remittance needs.
The target consumer group of Momo e-wallet has similar demographics, educational attainment,
socioeconomic status, psychological and behavioral make-up, etc. as follows:
Demographics: Those using the MoMo e-wallet are unskilled laborers who are between the ages
of 18 and 45 and are working away from home.
Education: The majority of MoMo users are either students or those with a high school education.
Income: At least 3-5 million VND, preferably more.
Behavior: They are either the income source for their family or are under the care of their family.
This leads to more frequent transactions.
III. SWOT analysis

3.1 SWOT

STRENGTHS:

High brand awareness:

MoMo is one of the first developers of Fintech (financial technology) services in Vietnam. With
the leading advantage, MoMo has always been the brand that occupies the "top of mind" position
of consumers.

Provide convenient service:

Momo is currently available on the two largest operating systems, IOS and Android, so anyone
can download and use the Momo e-wallet. Currently, Momo has cooperated with major partners
such as FPT Shop, Circle K, Ministop, Cheers, F88, etc., allowing users to deposit/withdraw
money directly at more than 4000 transaction points.

Integrate many services:

With the ambition of becoming a "super application" - where users can access a variety of support
services that help in everyday life. Momo currently provides services such as movie ticket
booking, hotel booking, airline ticket purchase, bill payment, financial investment, etc.

Effective customer retention strategy:

Momo encourages customers to raise their “trust scores” to receive exclusive benefits. By
performing transactions and other tasks, users receive the benefits such as: Discount when buying
insurance; Increase your savings limit with the “magic bag”; Increase postpaid wallet limit and
loans.

WEAKNESSES

Limited coverage:

Momo's usage locations are mostly in big cities and provinces. This makes many people in rural
areas not have access to direct deposit/withdrawal methods. At the same time, in rural areas, there
are not many shops accepting payment via Momo.

High service fee:

Momo’s users can transfer money without fees only when they transfer within the app. For
transferring money or withdrawing money to the bank, Momo offers a free transfer limit, when
used up, users will have to pay a fee of up to 0.6% of the transaction value.

OPPORTUNITIES

Increasing demand for e-wallets:


In recent years, it is clear that the demand for online payments is increasing. To explain this we
need to consider the shift between generations of consumers. Gen Z will be the key consumers in
the near future. For this generation, they are often quick to accept change and development,
especially technology. With the conveniences that e-wallets bring, gen Z quickly changed their
payment habits, leading to a significant increase in usage demand.

Huge market potential:

With an increasingly connected young population and a strong growing economy, Vietnam has
become a promising market for the Fintech sector in general and e-wallets in particular.

This proves that the potential for development of the e-wallet market in Vietnam is huge. In 2020,
there are an estimated 19.2 million e-wallet users in the country and the number of users is
forecast to nearly triple in the next 5 years.

THREATS

Fierce competition:

Seeing the potential of the e-wallet market, many businesses have begun scheming to gain market
share. Only e-wallet service providers, so far, more than 30 businesses have entered this fertile
market. Although Momo's main competitors only revolve around names such as Moca, ZaloPay,
Viettel Pay, smaller providers are also launching many attractive promotions to attract users.

Risks in e-wallet payment:

When it comes to payment methods via e-wallets, many people are concerned about their safety.
Although there have been no serious cases so far, e-wallet users can still face some risks such as
losing money, fraud or stealing personal information. In addition to external factors, customers
also face the risk when an error occurs in the internal system causing payment interruption.

3.2 Competition

Competition in the financial sector in Vietnam, especially in electronic payments, has attracted a
significant amount of attention from foreign investors. Last year, MoMo and VNPay received huge
investments that put them among the highest-value companies in the region. A few large international
financial companies are trying to enter the Vietnamese market by buying shares in local companies (a
prime example is Ant Financial, which bought a stake in eMonkey last summer). Currently, 34
Vietnamese e-wallet companies are competing to get millions of people here to pay through
smartphones. But to change the habit of using money of Vietnamese people is not easy. Therefore,
three-quarters of Vietnam currently has about 13 million e-wallet accounts, which is only 14% of the
country's population. To attract users and merchants, e-wallet providers in Vietnam have to spend large
sums of money on discounts, promotions, and marketing. The competition focuses on which
company can build an ecosystem that is attractive enough for both users and merchants. So we
can see that:

- The partnership in 2018, Moca was dependent on the Grab ecosystem - focus on transportation and
food delivery.
- ZaloPay can take advantage of user data from Zalo.

- AirPay has the potential to go further by leveraging its e-commerce leadership of Shopee in
Vietnam.

- Only MoMo stands alone in this group and they are expanding their network with dealers across the
country in conjunction with promotions. The leading units also receive abundant financial resources.
For example, MoMo has raised $132.7 million from Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered, and
Warburg Pincus. Moca benefits from Grab and ZaloPay is backed by Tencent and VNG. All of these
are aimed at the ultimate goal of attracting users, changing Vietnamese people's cash habits, and
gaining market share in today's "Vietnamese e-wallet market".

3.3 The decisive factor for the success of the strategy

The prerequisite for success when entering the market is by prioritizing safety, savings and
convenience to meet all the needs of customers 24/7, providing a variety of services from basic
payment, e-commerce, travel, transportation to entertainment, consumer finance, insurance,
shopping, food service, etc. In terms of safety, Momo achieved International Security Certification
PCI DSS. Not only that, MoMo also implemented a savings refund feature for all customers,
helping users receive cashback when shopping at supermarkets and convenience stores. These
products and services are deployed in a safe, economical and convenient manner. Besides, Momo
is gradually helping users change their lifestyle, behavior and habits in shopping, paying through
marketing and promotion programs in a simple and close approach, creating practical values for
the community by becoming a channel to transfer donations to social programs.

3.4 Important issues

- Vietnam has young users, cheap internet, and a large number of smartphone users. But it's also
a security weakness, the more users, the higher the risk. Currently criminals are not focused on
financial infrastructure but mainly on users and that is the biggest vulnerability. Safety is the
factor that users are most concerned about in today's electronic payment transactions.
- Currently, most scammers are hitting the psychology of "preferring rewards", "benefiting" and
the gullibility of users. In addition, users have the habit of installing many apps without careful
control, creating a corridor for hackers to attack the device.
- Experiences from other countries show that the end user is the most important and difficult to
upgrade link in the security system's components. Once the end user has no sense of security, no
matter how secure the bank is, it still cannot protect when there is a transaction malpractice.
Besides, the awareness of using copyright in Vietnam is also very low. Once the user uses the
jailbreak license, the security methods are not very effective.
-
IV. Marketing Goals:

● Since its debut in the local market 10 years ago, MoMo e-wallet has already achieved some
important marketing goals:

- MoMo has 4000 stores across the province. MoMo stores located in residential areas, markets, bus
stations, export processing zones, and residential areas... are easy to see.

- For customers in remote areas who do not have a bank account or do not use e-wallets, MoMo is ready to
enhance their financial inclusion by providing money transfer services, receive money only by phone
number, deposit and withdraw like a bank. Moreover, MoMo also make efforts to support Vietnamese
people and businesses through the difficulties caused by the pandemic.

- MoMo helps support the Government’s strategy on developing the digital economy, cashless payments.
MoMo users can pay for all daily utilities such as electricity, water, internet, and cable TV; buy air tickets,
car tickets, and train tickets; buy movie tickets in all theaters; order maid service; buy fresh flowers...;
installment loans of all major financial companies

- On the side of individual users, the MoMo application acts as a wallet in which customers can link bank
accounts, link bank cards, or credit cards

● In 2021, MoMo e-wallet has successfully raised an investment amount of $200 million from global
investors including Mizuho, Ward Ferry, Goodwater Capital, and Kora Management and has now
become one of the three Vietnamese tech unicorns, surpassing the $2 billion valuation mark. The
company said it will use the new capital to strengthen its position as a market-leading super app
by implementing important future marketing goals like:

✓ Increase the provision of financial services to 31 million existing customers and expanding the market
through providing financial and digital transformation solutions

✓ Increase the number of people knowing about charity programs/situations and other special features on
the MoMo e-wallet platform.

continue to promote investment in Vietnamese companies to expand the ecosystem.

5.1.2 Positioning

MoMo is a market leader in Vietnam for mobile e-wallet services, professional services at the point of
transaction, and payment platforms. There are more than 4,000 MOMO outlets that have opened in 45
provinces/cities around the country, allowing more than 1.5 million clients in distant locations, where
banking services and cellphones are still unavailable, to access the main website service. Additionally, with
over 23 million users, the MoMo Wallet application is now accessible on two popular operating systems: iOS
and Android. MoMo, a mobile payment network that promotes a cashless economy, provides hundreds of
payment and retail options with a single tap.

* MoMo’s Points of Parity ( POP):

- MoMo e-wallet meets the needs and provides basic payment services to customers

- MoMo wallet is licensed and managed by the State Bank of Vietnam, directly linked with many
banks and when logging into the wallet or making secure payments (OTP authentication code,
fingerprint authentication, ..)

- Implement links, expand cooperation with many different partners in the industry (Gojek, Bee...)

- Take advantage of the push from the context of the Covid 19 pandemic to change the perception
among users, businesses, and state agencies towards electronic payments

- Raise awareness through promotional activities and attractive promotions and cashback programs

*MoMo's Points of Difference (POD):

-As a mobile payment platform, MoMo wallet promotes cashless economy and provides customers
with One touch payment experience with more than hundreds of service utilities, including both basic
payment (electricity, water, telecommunications, cable TV), e-commerce, tourism, transportation to
other payment like entertainment, consumer finance, insurance, purchasing shopping, food service…

-The application is trusted by consumers thanks to its strict safety standards, certified with the highest
international security standards (PCI DSS), 2FA, SSL/TLS, Tokenization, and multi-layer security
when logging in payment (OTP authentication code, fingerprint, face authentication, auto-lock apps,
and auto-lock apps and automatically prevent transactions with signs of fraud). MoMo is also the first
among the few payment intermediaries to achieve this certification.

-It is the only e-wallet application in Vietnam that allows external cash withdrawal. Currently, MoMo
has more than 5000 withdrawal points spread across the country. You can go to Momo withdrawal
points for convenient withdrawal. Most e-wallets charge a fee for making withdrawals from e-wallets,
but only Momo is free for 10 withdrawals/month

*Perceptual Map:

Based on a survey done by DecisionLab which answers the question “ what key reason for customers
to use an e-wallet more frequently than other”, MoMo is ranked first in the fast transaction process
(59%) among the other three wallets ( ShopeePay, ZaloPay, ViettelPay) by 329 respondents. It shows
that the MoMo e-wallet is capable of managing customer payments fast and efficiently.

As mentioned above, one of MoMo’s Points of Difference (POD) is its security. MoMo's security
system has achieved the highest level of Service Provider PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard) global security certification (Service Provider level 1) and is recognized to be the
first among the few e-wallets in Vietnam to receive this certification ( ZaloPay, AirPay, Moca..). At
the same time, MoMo Wallet also applies advanced and outstanding authentication technologies such
as Two-factor authentication; Authentication by fingerprint or face recognition; Tokenization
function, etc. With this PCI DSS International Security certification, MoMo E-Wallet is ranked
in first place for the strict security system that partners and customers can be completely
assured of.

From subjective assessments of e-wallet users (through market survey results) in combination with
the reference information, we propose a perceptual map based on security and speed of payment for
MoMo e-wallet
*MoMo’s unique selling point ( USP):

- To determine some of the challenges faced by MoMo e-wallet, we have to take a look at the
company Porter's five forces analysis:

1/ Threat from New entrants

These are many competitors who have not yet entered the e-wallet market or who have entered but
are unpopular in Vietnam. Specifically:

- E-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill, Payeer, and others are expanding in foreign markets.

- Competitors such as Bao Kim, Ngan Luong, online money transfer services of banks, sending
money through coaches, etc… may or may not participate.

==> Because of the Vietnamese people's habit of using money, potential rivals put a lot of pressure
on MoMo.

2/ Suppliers' Bargaining Power

Many partners accept MoMo e-wallet cooperation, including supermarkets, convenience stores, cafes,
restaurants, travel transportation, and financial insurance. Service providers for MoMo e-wallets are
industry leaders in their respective fields. Suppliers and partners are all reputable and long-standing
business companies in the market, which helps customers build trust when using the MoMo e-wallet
service. They do, however, have a large number of links to other e-wallets. Furthermore, some
suppliers with a strong market position may reduce Momo's market margins.

==> Suppliers have a moderate impact on MoMo.

3/Buyers' Bargaining Power:

Customers of the MoMo e-wallet are mostly young people with low incomes. They are people who
enjoy shopping, eating, and convenience, but don’t like paying in cash. In today's diverse e-wallet
market, customers have numerous options for e-wallets. Furthermore, they have many ways to learn
about e-wallets, such as transaction fees, promotional information, security, service quality, customer
care... through articles and reviews on social networks. They want to get the best deal possible while
spending the least amount of money.

==> As a result, Momo's profitability suffers. Customers put a lot of pressure on the MoMo e-
wallet. As a result, MoMo must develop a high-quality brand image, as well as high security and
safety, numerous discount programs, holiday promotions, customer feedback, and better customer
care.

4/ Substitute Products Or Services Threats

Soon, there will be fierce competition between MoMo e-wallet and E-banking applications. Banks,
post offices, and traditional methods are examples of substitute products.

5/ The Rivalry Between Current Competitors

MoMo e-wallet has to face many direct competitors who are other e-wallets on the e-wallet market such as
AirPay, ZaloPay, ViettelPay, Moca, SmartPay,… Among the competitors, perhaps the most prominent and
popular are AirPay, ZaloPay and ViettelPay

market, such as ID banks and postal money transfer services. The competition is putting a lot of
pressure on the MoMo e-wallet. When compared to other e-wallets, the MoMo e-wallet requires a

MoMo to all customers and partners. Products are optimized in any small details to satisfy customers'
needs, reducing operations that need to be used when checking out.

5.2.4 Promotion - Integrated Marketing Communications - IMC

5.2.4.1 Communication target (WHY)

Increase awareness about MoMo, and at the same time promote changing consumer habits,
encouraging them to use online payment when shopping, including MoMo wallet.

Shaping the target audience's perception of Momo's quality and utility for online payments.

5.2.4.2 Target audience (WHO)

The target audience for this promotion strategy is the unskilled laborers with relatively low
income, targeting the customer group who are between the ages of 18-45.

This is the target group that is likely to be more interested in the products and services of the
business than in other target groups. Urban customers are the main audience to apply
communication tools, mainly digital media. This will be an opportunity for Momo to develop
better in this audience, because most of them are the main source of family income, so they often
have the behavior to take care of their family, as well as the frequency of regular transactions.

5.2.4.3 Choose effective communication channel (WHERE)

Most of the information channels people know about MOMO e-wallets are from sources such as
“Word of mouth”, “Public relations” or “Advertising on Television”. Besides, the source of
information that affects the decision to use an e-wallet is also based on the form of Referral
Marketing. This is a form of service promotion through the form of user referrals. That is, each
person who can successfully introduce others to use momo wallet will enjoy some incentives
when paying on the wallet. This form has invisibly stimulated users without the need for any other
form of promotional communication channels. Therefore, when there is a user and experience, that
person will summarize all the information in the most concise way to convey to others. At this
time, listeners will find it easier to understand and stimulate their need to use.

5.2.4.3.1 Advertising - TV advertisement

When the Momo e-wallet is introduced into the target market, the main concern will be to attract
people to recognize the brand, as well as to shape the target audience's perception of quality and
use. to soon accept to use the service. To do this, “Advertising on TV” will be the main direction
of the advertising campaign. So "Advertising" - specifically by TVC (Television Commercials)
will now be used to both introduce consumers about the product, in order to reinforce the message
they may have received from watching advertisements on television channels. Because the length
of TVCs and the way they convey their messages have a certain effect on the effectiveness of
product communication. The shorter the TVC, the more directly the advertising problem is
exploited. TVC Advertising will bring quick and widespread effects, and everyone knows about
the product introduced in the market.

In order to create the best quality video for customers, Momo spends heavily in advertising
campaigns on national television stations such as VTV1, VTV3, HTV7... with the standard
duration of 30 seconds in order to ensure reaching the majority of the target audience and increase
product recognition, basic message about quality as well as basic information about Momo e-
wallet. Because for all the first 30 seconds of each TVC, the viewership reached very high but
dropped significantly at 60 seconds. The audience who watched the 30 seconds was twice as large
as the audience who watched the entire 90 seconds.

5.2.4.3.2 Advertising - Outdoor advertising

In addition, with the advertising strategy, Momo needs to consider the use of large outdoor
advertisements, placed on national highways or roads leading to villages to attract attention, and
increase brand awareness. Because there are many advertising positions associated with the
enduring appearance of a brand for a very long time, it has made a strong impression on people
who often pass through the area. Outdoor advertising is also considered as one of the most classy
forms of communication today, the appearance of the brand in a beautiful and prime location will
help raise the brand's level and affirm its prestige in the eyes of consumers.

In 2020, Momo launched a Roadshow advertising campaign on the 45-seat car with an advertising
campaign for gaming apps and welcomed 20 million app users with advertising unit Sixth Sense
Media.

Outdoor advertising strategies can be impressive by billboards that bring unique visual effects,
attract people's eyes in building brand identity, and imprint on consumers' minds. Above all,
thanks to its large size (up to hundreds of square meters) and extreme height along with standing
independently on open and wide spaces, the billboard conveys the brand's images and messages as
impressive and extremely attractive. The particular example is in 2022, the cooperation between
Gojek and MoMo has also shown that e-wallets have leveraged the power of multiple platforms
and media to reach customers. The two applications have flexibly changed their approach to
convey content and messages about the partnership in accordance with the nature of each channel
from the community, and social networks to the press through impressive 3D billboards right in
the city center with countless traffic passing every day.

5.2.4.3.3 Public relations

In the market expansion strategy, Momo cooperates with KOLs, reputable newspapers such as VN
express, Thanhnien, Tuoitre, dantri, etc posted information about the campaign combining the
deployment of in-depth content to emphasize the real value that MoMo brings to the community.
A specific action is that recently in 2021, Momo has deployed PR content to spread 360 degrees of
information about Mega Cashback taking place only on 01/11, and at the same time encourage and
spread the media message to the target audience, create initiative and anticipation with the target
audience. MoMo has well exploited the insight of Vietnamese consumers, especially young
people. They like to experience new, convenient and fast payment methods. Up to 50% cashback
offer has hit the needs and tastes of people when using services in daily life from supermarkets,
convenience stores, cafes, hospitals, especially the psychology of shopping at the beginning of the
month.

Since October 2014, MoMo has become the pioneer software for voting on interactive TV
programs (Voting Platform) in Vietnam, opening the Dancing with the Stars live show. In 2015,
Momo became the voting channel for entertainment programs including The Remix, Vietnam
Idol, as well as The Voice, and The Voice Kids.

In early April 2015, the MoMo application became one of the official donation channels of
Operation Smile Vietnam. Or most recently, in 2021, Momo E-Wallet is the official support
channel with Dan Tri to implement the "Million Hearts - One Will" Program, through the
program, people, benefactors, and businesses. can share a part of the difficulty with the frontline
force against the Covid-19 epidemic by supporting on "MoMo e-wallet". Charity donation feature,
helping benefactors can share any amount with just one action, with no need to remember
accounts or other information.

VI/ Marketing plan implementation

6.1. Premise

In the modern world, marketing strategy plays a pivotal role in contributing to the success of a
company, especially in the service sectors. MoMo’s initial targeted customer segment are those
with medium and low income and referral marketing. MoMo has lately focused more on
Millennials and Gen Z customers.

These groups of customers require MoMo to adapt its strategy accordingly. Most millennial users
love a brand who has unique, relevant and useful experience. They are concerned about security
issues the most when it comes to the Internet. A majority of Gen Z customers prefer a brand that is
able to represent the value of our country’s culture. With the respect to these insights, MoMo has
already implemented a number of new services targeting these groups of customers such as
discounts on fast food, playing games in-app, etc. All of this while still pursuing its core value:
become a super app that can help with every need in life.
