Introduction:
Organizations play a crucial role in the global economy, especially in the era of globalization
where the world has become a global village. Different organizations have different roles to play
in meeting human needs by providing products, services, or both. Marketing is the face of any
organization, responsible for coordinating and generating all materials that represent the
business.

The marketing department's primary responsibility is to reach out to prospects, clients, traders,
and the community while creating an image that represents the organization positively. The
mobile phone has a long history that began with experiments in communication from and to
moving vehicles instead of handheld devices. In recent years, the main challenges have been in
developing interoperable standards and managing the explosive success and ever-increasing
demand for bandwidth and reliability.

Industry Overview:
Cell phones, also known as mobile phones, have become an inseparable part of our lives today.
However, the history of mobile phones dates back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in
Kentucky for a wireless telephone. The mobile phone was invented in the 1940s when engineers
at AT&T developed cells for mobile phone base stations.

The first mobile phone was not truly mobile in any sense. They were two-way radios that
allowed people like taxi drivers and emergency services to communicate. Instead of relying on
base stations with separate cells, the first mobile phone networks involved one powerful base
station covering a wide area. On April 3, 1973, Motorola became the first company to mass-
produce the first handheld cell phone. These early mobile phones are often referred to as 0G
mobile phones or zero-technology cellular phones. Most smartphones today rely on 3G, 4G, or
5G mobile technologies.

Vivo Communication Technology Company Limited:


A young international smartphone brand that specializes in introducing perfect sound fine and
ultimate images with present-day technology, Vivo develops dynamic and fashionable products
for passionate younger human beings. It develops and manufactures Smartphones, Smartphone

Porter 5 forces model:


 Threats from new participants:
Although the smartphone industry is already established, it faces a moderate threat from new
entrants. Obstacles include capital requirements, high research and development costs, and
patents. Customer loyalty and demand for advanced technologies pose challenges for market

10
entry. However, constant innovation and the launch of new products by established companies
remain a potential threat.

 The threat of substitute products or services – moderate:


The existence of substitute products poses a moderate threat to the smartphone industry.
Although smartphones perform basic functions such as communication and access to
information, there are substitute devices such as social networks, landlines, and specialized
devices. The threat is also influenced by the economic situation and “dumb calls” become a
substitute in times of worse economic conditions.

 3) Bargaining power of customers (buyers) – high:


Customers have high bargaining power thanks to the large selection and limited differentiation
of products. Information symmetry, price sensitivity, and low exchange rate costs contribute to
high purchasing power. In a highly competitive market, customers are looking for the best value
for money, forcing smartphone manufacturers like Vivo to differentiate their products effectively.

 4) Bargaining Power of Suppliers – Moderate:


The bargaining power of suppliers is moderate in the smartphone industry. While there are two
main suppliers – hardware manufacturers and software developers – the industry leaders, like
Vivo, hold strong negotiation positions. A multitude of equipment suppliers is available, and the
intense competition among suppliers acts to reduce prices, favoring smartphone producers.

 5) Intensity of Existing Rivalry – High:


The existing rivalry among smartphone companies, including Vivo, is intense. Despite minimal
product differences, companies focus on differentiation through applications and services. Vivo
competes with well-known brands and stands out with features such as a unique user interface
and special technologies. Pricing strategies, battles for market shares, and the constant search for
innovations contribute to a high level of competition. In summary, Vivo operates in a challenging
environment characterized by strong competition, high purchasing power, and a moderate threat
from new entrants and substitute players. Strategic differentiation and innovation will be critical
for Vivo to successfully leverage these strengths and maintain a strong position in the
smartphone industry. (Palak Makadia, 2019)

In October 2015, Vivo secured the naming rights sponsorship for the Indian Premier League
(IPL) in a two-year agreement, commencing from the 2016 season. The deal was later extended
until 2022 in July 2017. However, amid the 2020 border tensions between India and China, the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) faced criticism for allowing a Chinese company to
be the title sponsor of the league. Consequently, Vivo and BCCI mutually decided to suspend the
deal for the 2020 season, with a provision to resume it in the following season.

Figure 5 Vivo secured the naming rights sponsorship for the Indian Premier League

In June 2018, Vivo entered into a sponsorship arrangement with the IPL, becoming the official

 Price:
Vivo offers high-quality smartphones at competitive prices. Vivo, as a brand, understands that
some of its markets are price-sensitive when it comes to smartphone sales. Therefore, it is
important to be present in the right price range to enjoy the advantage of gaining a healthy
market share. Therefore, vivo has made its products available not only in all price ranges but also
in the areas that contribute the most to overall sales. Nevertheless, the brand's products are
slightly more expensive than comparable products from other competing brands. Typically, it
uses a competitive pricing strategy in its marketing mix. The high price of Vivo products is due
to the number of features of the smartphone, design and design, battery life, camera quality,
overall performance, and sound and picture quality. However, thanks to the brand's excellent
after-sales service, many customers are convinced to buy Vivo products even at high prices.
However, many customers also believe that Vivo needs to increase value for money for its buyers
by improving the specifications of their certain price segments, especially in the lower price
ranges, to further improve its market position.

Pakistan, and it has become the fastest-growing smartphone brand in the country. Vivo sells its
products both online and offline. They promote their products offline through various
distributors, wholesalers, and retailers in different countries. Vivo has adopted a competitive
offline strategy, believing that customers should have the opportunity to try out the device before

The major competitors of Vivo Smartphone are Samsung, Realme, Xiaomi, Oppo, and
Huawei.

 Huawei

Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, and established in 1987. Operating in the same industry,
Huawei significantly outpaces Vivo, generating a revenue that is 2,744% higher than that of
Vivo.

 Samsung
Samsung is known for introducing innovative technologies, especially in its flagship models.
Features like foldable displays (Samsung Galaxy Z series) and advanced camera systems
showcase Samsung's commitment to innovation. Samsung is a global leader in the smartphone

21
market and has a strong presence in various regions worldwide, making it one of the most widely
sold smartphone brands.

 Xiaomi

delivering feature-packed smartphones, and expanding into other consumer electronics. Xiaomi
has introduced innovative features in its smartphones, such as large batteries, high refresh rate
displays, and competitive specifications.

Recommendation:
 It is vital to introduce a broader range of mobile phones priced between 20,000 to 45,000
PKR.
 A strategic emphasis on enhancing TV advertisements is essential to captivate a larger
customer base.
 Expanding into the online market is crucial for increased customer acquisition.
 Adequate stock levels must be maintained across all outlets to align with customer
demand effectively.
 The optimization of the distribution channel is paramount.
 Additionally, increasing promotional activities in public spaces is necessary.
 Collaborating with brand ambassadors for the advertising campaign is recommended.

 Implementation of innovative strategies is essential to capture and retain customer


attention.
 Initiating an EMI service for interested customers is advised.
 To further engage customers, the introduction of tablets into the product lineup is
suggested.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, for Vivo Mobile Company, it is imperative to address several key areas to
strengthen its market position and boost customer engagement in the competitive landscape.
Introducing a diversified range of mobile phones within the 20,000 to 45,000 PKR price range

22
will cater to a broader segment of the market, tapping into various consumer preferences and
budgets.

A strategic overhaul of TV advertisements is essential, focusing on creativity and relevance to


captivate a larger customer base. Expanding into the online market is crucial for meeting the
evolving preferences of modern consumers, providing a convenient and accessible platform for
product acquisition. This expansion should be complemented by maintaining optimal stock
levels across all outlets to meet customer demand effectively.

In the context of Pakistan's launching history, it becomes evident that print media has
demonstrated limited effectiveness. Consequently, vivo is reevaluating its allocation of funds,
redirecting resources from print media to more impactful mediums like hoardings and banners.
Recognizing the need for strategic investments, Vivo aims to make judicious use of its budget to
enhance brand visibility and appeal to the Pakistani consumer base. Despite being a China-based
smartphone company, vivo distinguishes itself by delivering high-quality products, particularly
renowned for its Hi-Fi features and Fun touch OS, setting itself apart in the competitive Pakistani
market.

In essence, the key to success lies in a multifaceted approach that combines product
diversification, strategic advertising, online presence, effective distribution, and innovative
customer engagement initiatives. By adopting these recommendations, Vivo Mobile Company
can position itself for sustained growth and increased market share in the dynamic and
competitive mobile industry.
