Executive Summary

Our research focused on examining current innovations, market analysis and


microeconomics of TGDD’s product category – mobile phone and from that, problems
that TGDD is facing are identified. Also, this report suggests another one solution so that
TGDD could maintain its leading position in Vietnamese e-retail industry. More
specifically, TGDD is proved to be a continuously innovative firm with diversified
marketing strategies, new application of technology into its operation which assists them
to be on top of e-phone market in Vietnam. However, because of high competitiveness
from other domestic and foreign enterprises, e-phone retail services is stated to be at
saturated point and TGDD is in fact could not seek any gold opportunity, resulting in a
new solution for a switch into new market e-earphone with its given current resources.

Evaluation of Current Innovations

In modern society, innovation has been considered as a main role that makes company
survives in competitive market. With innovation, company not only can keep up with new
trends but also expand its business with differentiated products. According to Green (2019),
company involved in innovation contributes to the overall success of business in the future.
In fact, Thegioididong, which is well-known as the leading in mobile phone retail chain in
Vietnamese market, has applied two innovations in the company process, which helps the
corporation to reach customers much more effectively.

Firstly, Thegioididong replaced multi-channel with omni-channel marketing strategy in


selling and distributing its e-products, typically mobile phones. Omni-channel marketing at
Thegioididong provides customers better access to the services offered. The
implementation of the marketing approach allows customers to purchase from anywhere by
giving multiple options (Payne et al., 2017). For instance, an organization can have both
online and physical presence as a means of improving brand recognition and customer
retention. The adoption of Omni-channel marketing at Thegioididong serves as an incentive
for customers to opt for a given seller (Payne et al., 2017). Therefore, it can result in
increased web traffic, translating into high e-phone sales volumes. An organization offering
inventory on omni-channels can cater to a broad range of customer needs, which provides
customers with the necessary flexibility of options and satisfaction.

Secondly, the use of artificial intelligence at Thegioididong could be integral to improve


customer satisfaction through personalized service delivery. Artificial intelligence unlike
Omni-channel marketing, it is a disruptive innovation. The technology enables
Thegioididong to monitor and collect customer behaviour data. The data obtained enables
the provision of services specifically designed for each customer (Minh, 2017). This change
is prompted by industry changes. For instance, artificial intelligence at Thegioididong can
provide information regarding the interests of a given customer. It enables an advertiser to
send adverts specific to needs of the potential customers. Similarly, the technology provides
for the establishment of adequate outreach systems through which sellers can
communicate with potential customers (Nguyen et al., 2019). Collecting and analysing
customer data enables an organization to understand their customers’ preferences and
consumption characteristics, which allows the dissemination of tailored information. For

lOMoARcPSD|15237121

instance, using artificial intelligence would enable Thegioididong to determine customers


likely to be contacted via e-mail, texts, and phone calls while providing the frameworks
through which to monitor the effectiveness of various forms of communication put forward
(Nguyen et al., 2019). Sellers can also differentiate first-time customers from renewals and
tell the attitudes of different consumers towards their services.

Both of two innovations bring several benefits to the existing markets. Thegioididong had
appied successfully the omni-channel marketing to their business. Based on the statistics of
Google Analytics, the website of company had attracted 30-35 million visits per month from
2017 up to now(Tra, 2019). This leads to the increase in sales of Thegioididong. Besides,
artificial intelligence creates an opportunity for improving operations. Due to the advance in
technology, “supperapp”, which recognizes as the newest application, will enable
consumers to easily connect with more functions than using the retail chain’s website(Dang,
2020). This technologies improve customer experiences through atrial storage of shopping
information, which significantly reduces the time spent shopping.

Current Marketing Analysis


Marketing mix has played an important role in exchanging offerings to customers and it has
been widely applied in every company. Current marketing analysis below is the comparison

Current Microeconomic Analysis

To lead in any market, business itself must deeply understand the behavioural process of

buying goods and services from the end-customer, how interactive between the quantity

demanded and price purchased for each time the end-customer looks for any product. That

is all about the importance of studying microeconomics and it would be applied to the case

of Thegioididong.

Market Structure

Thegioididong, Vien Thong A, and FPT Shop are the three largest retailers in Vietnam’s

mobile retail market. Thegioididong is one of the fastest-growing firms, has expanded its

share of the market from 21% in 2013 to 30% in 2015 (“Mobile World Investment,” 2016).

Eventually, the retailer currently holds the top position and controls up to 40% of the market

(Le, 2016). According to Le (2016), Thegioididong remains unstoppable owing to its

innovative approach to business. For instance, the company grew its revenue by 60%

between the years 2014 and 2015 to earn

VDN 25,250 billion up from VDN 15,800

billion. In 2018, Thegioididong generated a

total of VND 35,000 billion (“Nguyen Kim,”

2018). FPT Shop and Thegioididong pose

as some of the most significant competitors

to the market leader, Thegioididong. FPT Shop serves as the second-largest retailer,

controlling approximately 14.9% of the market. Like its rival Thegioididong, FPT shop

increased its revenue from VND 5,200 billion to VND 7,800 billion between the years 2014

and 2015, which further grew to 13,100 billion in 2017 (“FPT Retail,” 2018). Lastly, Vien

Thong A controls nearly 5.3% of the market. The company closed the year 2018 with

revenues amounting to VND 4,600 billion (“Nguyen Kim,” 2018). With higher revenue and a

lOMoARcPSD|15237121

larger number of retail outlets spread across various Vietnamese provinces and cities,

Thegioididong remains the leader in the consumer electronics market.

Competition

Competition in Vietnamese e-phone retail market is growing stiffer with the rapid expansion

of the few large retailers. Thegioididong, Vien Thong A, and FPT Shop strive to outdo each

other by focusing on increasing the market share. Thegioididong mainly invests in improving

access to its products and services as a

means of growing its customer base. The

company manages retail outlets in 63 cities

across all provinces in the country, thus

bringing its services closer to consumers

(Nguyen, 2019). Additionally, the company

offers competitive and discounted prices; for example, the company sells the Realme 5i and

iPhone 11 Pro at 3’690,000 VDN and 31,890,000 VDN instead of 4,200,000 VDN and

33,000,000 VDN, respectively (“Thegioididong,” 2020). On the other hand, FPT Shop relies

on a myriad of factors to attract and retain customers. Lastly, Vien Thong A boosts its

revenue through online sales practices. All of them share most of their marketing strategies;

However, Thegioididong attracts more customers by providing more convenience through

discounted prices and nationwide coverage.

Barriers to Entry

Vietnamese e-phone market is stated to be at saturated point, as being one of the most

factors destroying new players to the Vietnamese market. The market is becoming

oligopolistic, whereby a few established firms, such as Thegioididong, FPT Shop, and Vien

Thong A, control a substantial share of the market. This market characteristic hinders new

Downloaded by Vi Ho Ngoc Tuong (31201028797@student.isb.edu.vn)
lOMoARcPSD|15237121

businesses from accessing the market (Le, 2016). Surviving the competition presented by

established firms requires new entrants to put in place numerous adaptations, which

significantly increased the capital costs and the operational costs. Service innovation serves

as a vital competition tool in the market; however, the cost of innovation increases the cost

of entry and operation for new entrants. Unlike their established counterparts, new

businesses scarce to innovative practices as well as being at profitability risk (Truong,

2019).

Patterns of Demand and Supply

Based on Vietnam’s salary report in 2019, demand for electronic products and services is

projected to increase significantly in the next five years. The market features indicate a

relatively inelastic demand: that is, the growth of

income levels makes the market still less sensitive to price increments, implying that higher

prices are likely to result in a minimal decrease in demand.

Problem Identification

With the evaluation of current innovations, current marketing analysis and current
microeconomics analysis above, key points are clearly identified. First, the domestic mobile

ER PROJECT – Mobile World Ltd, Mobile Phone


12
Downloaded by Vi Ho Ngoc Tuong (31201028797@student.isb.edu.vn)
lOMoARcPSD|15237121

market has shown signs of saturation and in Vietnam where most people already own a
phone, the negative growth has been predicted by many experts. This has led to certain
concerns for retail chains and phone makers when the market is no longer potential.
Second, in mobile phone retail market, Thegioididong, Fpt and Vien Thong A still the giants
in influencing this industry and in the future, this rank would be predicted to continue by
focusing on improving customer loyalty. Third, among these three brands, many marketing
strategies and communications are well conducted, enhancing the brand identification in
mindset of Vietnamese people.

Through analysis of our team’s research, Thegioididong specialized in their customer


service by customer-centralization mindset and “promise-to-do” attitude by providing and
improving a lot of incentives and sales promotion to assist end-customers get better deals.
By this way, many Vietnamese customers love incentives and they responded very well with
that promotions. In the long term, Vietnamese market understood and accepted
Thegioididong in mobile retail market as a first-think choice.

However, with this industry, we defined the problem is that mobile retail market did not work
the same with other industries, such as health care and FMCG because customers’
demands on mobile phone is not on a daily basis and it usually takes more time to consume
and rebuy a mobile phone, except that some customers want to buy more than one phone
and hence, it reduces the profit of this industry in the long-term. Additionally, with very high
competition from Fpt and Vienthong A, it seems to have big indifference between these
firms in marketing, sales and especially customer services so either Thegioididong or Fpt
will not create much differences to customers’ minds. Following this analysis, our team
came to find that Thegioididong is decreasing in success in mobile retail market as there
has been a saturation in this industry.

Doanhnhan.vn (2018) stated that the explosion of e-commerce has also put great pressure
on mobile phone retailers. Lazada, Tiki, and Shopee all have separate deals with mobile
phone companies to offer cheaper specials. As a result, mobile phone retail giants are
forced to change or expand business to survive. At the end of 2017, FPT Retail acquired
Long Chau drugstore chain and is restructuring this system to enter the pharmaceutical
retail market.
Similarly, Thegioididong has officially acquired Phuc An Khang pharmaceutical chain to
encroach into pharmaceutical industry.

The New Innovation & Target Market Profile

As illustrated, mobile phone retail market in Vietnam is at a saturated point so it is highly


suggested making a disruptive innovation which lead to a fundamental rethink that based on
their existing business strategy and technologies to create new markets and new players.
To illustrate, as being positioned high-tech based retail company, Thegioididong should take
advantage on this point to make a switch to expand e-headphones retail market as
according to ResearchGate (2019), the demand for audio products is forecasted to be
increasing over the next 10 years in Vietnam. Currently, the most sought-after feature on the
market is wireless technology, according to analysts at Futuresource (2019) as the main
factor driving the headset market and the speed of user spending. Whether over-ear or in-
ear headphones, users are willing to pay extra money to eliminate the connection cord. The
trend of wireless headphones has also increased the competitiveness of the headphone
market with additional technology-based appliance. By this way, Thegioididong is becoming
the extreme makeover by supplying to customers the same degree of sound quality of audio
products, typically e-earphones at lower prices.

According to Vietnamnet.Vn (2019), Apple is considering setting up Airpods production in


Vietnam. By the way Apple is trying to less depend on China, Thegioididong could take this
opportunity to make a big change to collaborate with Apple and bring Airpods to be more
popular in Vietnam, the same degree of sound quality but cheaper price. In addition,
Thegioididong should consider collaborating with another headphone manufacturers around
the world such as Xiaomi (China), Astell&Kern (Korea), Denon (Japan), JBL (US) and Razel
Inc (US) to extend a diversified product portfolio to satisfy customes’s demands. When
Thegioididong specifically emphasizes they are the main e-earphones retail market in
Vietnam, once again Thegioididong could be a leader in this new market, and hence this
deal could bring to trillions of VND to Thegioididong.

It could be seen that it is not easy for Thegioididong to make decision into this new market,
but with the existing resources in operation strategy, marketing and sales omnichannel,
Thegioididong could save a lot of money in developing process. For example,
Thegioididong, could use these advantages to make brand identification in customer
insights at first. Additionally, logistics and inventory management should be considered, and

they would have to find an effective way to maintain these products in-house and out-of-
house.

To sum up, Thegioididong is facing an opportunity to create a new market in e-earphones


retail market in Vietnam based on their existing resources to collaborate with other
manufacturers as there is a huge demand of this new market.

The New Marketing Mix Strategy

Marketing mix

As mentioned above, TheGioiDiDong can overcome difficulties and create new potentials
based on products that few distributors pay much attention to, namely e-earphones.
Therefore, a new marketing strategy must be devised, resulting from market research, in
order to create an image of a new and more innovative TheGioiDiDong in the eyes of
customers.
Product
The main "product" provided by TheGioiDiDong are mobile-phone retail services.
TheGioiDiDong has the motto of bringing convenience and “5-star” service attitude to
achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction no matter how many more markets that
the firm decided to invest in. Bluetooth headsets, which have already existed for years,
didn't really stand out in the market until Apple launched the first Airpod model in 2016.
Since then, a wide range of phone companies and electronic components have realized the
potential of this item and began to exploit them. TheGioiDiDong 's website, which was used
to specialize in smartphone and laptops, will be diversified with a new category of headsets.
In the website for the earphones, products will be categorized based on brand, function and
price. Not only for Airpods, customers will have various choices and information from the
company’s counterparts before confirming a purchase decision. For example, Samsung,
Sony, Xiaomi, Jabra, or Apple for Bluetooth headsets or Logitech, Razer or SteelSeries for
gaming headsets. These are the potential brands which are expected to cooperate with
TheGioiDiDong to create an evolution.

The demand for headphones will vary depending on different kinds of customer. Not only
Bluetooth headsets but also recent gaming headsets have significantly emerged. Through
times, now that industries like vlogger or streamer thrive, specialized products will be very
popular among those. It would be very convenience if they could buy a reputable product
from a giant like TheGioiDiDong. TheGioiDiDong should label on its products and upgrade
the information frequently. This positioning not only hits the mind of TheGioiDiDong 's target
customer base with the habit of updating the trend regularly, but also becomes the key
competitive advantage of the earphone market. Finally, in process of branding, the company
should emphasize the phrase "The leading retail system of mobile phones, smart headsets
and laptops nationwide" to enhance customer awareness.

Price
Different from smartphone market, headphone market seems more optimistic as prices are
pretty much reduced. Since US-China trade tensions are show no signs of abating and
based on the goal to diversify the production environment in many different countries, Apple
is going to establish factories at Vietnam at the end of 2020. Without being subjected to
taxes and manufacturing costs, the products sold from Apple will be less expensive.
TheGioiDiDong need to pay attention to the movement of competitors such as GearVn,
NguyenKim.TGDD. Researches show that, the average price of an average Bluetooth
earphone has inched up to $40 so far, according to the latest data released by Futuresource
Consulting. Customers willing to pay for an average headset is $42.70, up 14% from 2018
and still holding double-digit growth for years. (tinhte.vn)
Place
TheGioiDiDong 's distribution strategy is known to be very well implemented. As a matter of
fact, thegioididong.com has been present in all provinces and cities across the country with
more than 1771 stores evenly distributed throughout important locations in the region.
Therefore, when innovating to headphones market, TGDD should pay attention to make the
distribution in the most effective way. For offline business, in addition to keep the remaining
stores in the stable condition, TheGioiDiDong should keep the inherent business model,
only adding separate display booths for headphones. In addition, TheGioiDiDong can open
a monumental showcase located in the city center (refer to Samsung Showcase model at
Bitexco), which is for the exhibition of the newest, limited edition headphones and auxiliary
models of the publisher. Customers can directly interact with them under the enthusiastic
guidance of staffs. Also, TheGioiDiDong can collaborate with game development companies
at Vietnam like Garena to promote and organize events there to attract customer line of
gamers or streamers. Besides, social networking sites are also considered as abundant
online sales channels, such as Facebook or Instagram. As a matter of fact, the number of
social network users reached 3.3 billion in 2018, accounting for 43% of the world's
population, of which Vietnam ranked seventh the proportion of Facebook users

Promotion
Modern wireless earphones market is still new, but it has created a wave of trend for young
customers with modern lifestyles. Therefore, the use of images of KOLs or influencers will
be an opportunity for Thegioididong to innovate in the media field and help the firm to make
strong impression in customers’ eyes like Sơn Tùng MT-P with Oppo. Nowadays, between
many forms of marketing, the role of representative / influencer still holds an especially
important position to help the brand become unique and closer to the target audience. Thus,
2020 will be the year that influencer marketing is a promising and effective choice for brands
(brandsvietnam.com). In fact, other recent retail systems, such as Tiki, Lazada ... have
already achieved remarkable result from media influencer, stated a report by Tiki.vn, by
using famous celebrities as representative such as Truong Giang, Tran Thanh or Son Tung
MTP. Thegioididong can launch a PR campaign by sponsoring those events, thereby
improving contact opportunities, directly to consumers and even the media. For technology
enthusiasts, Techfest Vietnam is a good example. It is also known as The National
Innovation Day is the largest annual event for the technology startup community in Vietnam.
Charity and promotion activities should also be focused. TGDD can host charitable activity
for the company’s members or collaborate with scholarships fund organization like “Light
your hope”, thereby giving away free headsets to poor students with good results for study
purpose. These will stimulate customers to purchase more and create a beautiful image of
TheGioiDiDong in the in the customer’s subconscious.
