. They talk about how, or rather what, does the organization have to do gain not only
the sale but also the loyalty of the customer. They want to know the payoff of the
transaction both in the short and long term. They want to know what their customer
wants.
Samsung Customer
Buyer's power is very economically beneficial for the manufacturing companies as
operators purchase the products in bulk and large sum of money is invested to keep
their constant demand of good quality products. This large sum money provides
necessary funds to research and develop to satisfy the customers with their
demands. It shows the buying power of the customers which is a cyclic process and
favors the operators. Consumers of Samsung's products are divided into two group
Regular customers tend to be less expensive to service because they are familiar
with the process, require less "education", and are consistent in their order
placement.
Long-term customers may initiate free word of mouth promotions and referrals.
Long-term customers are more likely to purchase ancillary products and high margin
supplemental products.Customers that stay with you tend to be satisfied with the
relationship and are less likely to switch to competitors, making it difficult for
competitors to enter the market or gain market share.
According to Philip Kotlar, Marketing is a human activity directed at satisfying need
and wants through exchange process. Marketing Management is the process of
planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas,

goods and services to create exchanges that can satisfy both individual and

3.00 Evaluation on the strength between the chosen company and its customer
Every customer can buy its product easily because of the technology, that has used
by samsung the recent years and the clarifications of four ps as below :-
3.01 Place
Now a day samsung brands have 25 production base worldwide and more then fifty
sales subsidiaries in near about 50 countries.Their global strategy involves eight main
regions.Samsung also sells its product through independent retailers.Customers can
see and handle products they are considering buying.
3.02 Price
Pricing also seemed to have played a significant role in Samsung's success.
Samsung looking for its services accessible to as many people as possible.
It offers a lot of pricing structures to suit different customers groups.The price plans
are available monthly basis as well as prepay option.
3.03 Promotion
Advertising on TV, in magazines and in other media outlets reaches large audiences
and spreads the brand image and the message very effectively. This is also known as
above the line promotion.
3.04 Product
Samsung smart phones have taken up an amazing market share because they are
continuously designing products such that their existing customer base itself is
upgrading. Users loved Samsung S1 than S2, than S3 and finally Samsung galaxy
S4. Thus the brand equity now for Samsung is such that the customer will hardly think
of switching the brand. Even though Samsung has 20.4% market share worldwide
last year, it has by now been the second cellular phone manufacturer globally. Stylish

Sigma program is key factor to develop the Supply Chain System.Samsungs efforts
are proving to be fruitful because their SCM six sigma program is very useful to
produce talented specialists.
It is expected that six sigma will play a vital role for global optimum. Branding strategy
of sponsoring big events like Olympics and placements of its products at festivals is a
good move of Samsung. Transition from 2G to 3G technology that emphasizes on
multimedia is good change in technology strength.

4.01 i) Marketing Strategy:-Samsung has to improve its after sales service in order
to retain customer and create brand loyalty. The current policy adopted by Samsung
is aggressives pending more on advertising and marketing and less on retaining
customers that isafter sales service. So the corrective strategy to be adopted by
Samsung must be to spend more on retaining customer rather than acquiring them as
it costs 5 times more to the company to get to a new customer rather than pleasing
existing ones. Moreover it costs 16 times to take the new customer to the loyalty
stage.
Retention strategies may also include building barriers to customer switching. This
can be done by product bundling (combining several products or services into one
"package") .
Priceing
Pricing is principally fixing a specific price for a product or service offered. In simple
words, Kotler and Armstrong (2004) explain the perception of price to obtain the
product. Fixing a price is not something simple. Normally in general law people argue
that a small price will draw additional customers. The argument is not true. Because
customers not only look for price alone. The customers expect a proper service and
value for the money that he pays. They act in response to value so a lesser price
does not essentially signify stretched sales if the product is not fulfilling the
expectation of the customers (Lazer, 1971).
Brand Marketing
Samsung mobile products are very crucial because new brands have been added to
already list of mobile phones sets. Marketing of these products must be in fashion
world and role models are very significant.
