Research Rationale Comment [A1]: Vẫn chưa làm rõ vì sao cần chiến lược Marketing, anh phải chỉ ra các hoạt động Marketing đang được tiến hành là gì, nó có đem lại Marketing is an important area of management when managing a company. hiệu quả không, hạn chế của nó là gì, phải chăng do thiếu chiến lược nên chưa thực sự thành công…Từ đó Marketing activities help company to understand and provide the right product and chọn đề tài services to customers. Because marketing is important, companies invest a large amount of money on marketing.
An example is Vinamilk a large diary company in Vietnam. In the first 9 months in 2015 Vinamilk spend 1,235 billion VND on advertising in 4,500 billion VND of selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). On average, each day Vinamilk spend about 4.57 billion VND on advertising (source: cafef – [29]). Another example is a Tan Hiep Phat a big company in beverage spends 4.9 million USD on advertising even from year 2004.[27] Despite the fact that companies are spending high amount on marketing, not all company are successful.
Marketing effort will only succeed if companies have a good marketing strategy which is an important functional strategy of the company. One of the case we can see is the story of Dr. Pepper when they launch the advertisement campaign ―Not for women‖ soft-drink. With this message the company wants to increase the spending of men on the product but it this does exclude the women customer from its customer set.
The failure here is with Segmentation, when company want to keep both the gender male and female the advertisement remove female customer. Even for the companies that are not selling products, marketing is also very important. An example is in e-commerce in Vietnam recently we found some companies with good investment closed like deca.vn or lingo. E-commerce is now a very competitive market a new company needs a very good entrance strategy to succeed.
Currently we see many companies that are quite successful like adayroi.vn… so for any new company want to enter this market must have a right strategy. VNPay is a leading company in payment industry of Vietnam; the company has provided services to bank on SMS banking. VNPay created VNShop in 2014 join the Ecommerce market when it's very competitive. The Ecommerce market in Vietnam is 1 (LUAN.market TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.market very competitive, many project with good funding have failed like Deca, Lingo.vn… When joining this market VNShop must have differentiation to reduce the competition from other existing companies.
If VNShop has chosen to offer the same products or services to customer in a competitive market it may fail so the marketing strategy for the company is very important. The company needs to think about how it segments the market, what market segment it will serve to ensure the success. Utilizingits strength as one of the biggest payment provider in Vietnam, the strong relationship with the bank VNShop has segmented the market to 2 groups the one with bank account and customer who don't use Mobile banking. The company focus on provide services to the customer who have already using Mobile banking.
This come from a simple reason that: Customer who want to shop online will mostly have used Mobile banking and customer who do not have Mobile banking does not shop online (ecommerce). Comment [A2]: What are the current marketing activities at Vnshop, is it effective? why does it require marketing strategy. However, with VNShop initial strategy, it is targeting only a small segment of market (only those who use Internet banking application). In addition to that, the advertising and promotion of VNShop is low, currently there is only a short description on Agribank website and VNPay website, beside that there is no investment to marketing.
From all above reason, the number of customer who use this this applicationis low and not many people know about the application. VNShop need a good marketing strategy to improve this, and this thesis will aim at building a marketing strategy for VNShop. This thesis has two research questions. What is the strategic marketing plan and how to build it? 2.
How can the strategic marketing plan be built for the VNSHOP? 2. Aims of research Main objective of the thesis: To build marketing strategy for the company. Along with above, the other objectives of this thesis are: Research and summarize the theory on marketing strategy, the process of building a marketing strategy.market TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.market Perform the external and internal analysis. Propose marketing strategy for VNShop, assess and select marketing strategy for VNShop.
Objects of research Object of this thesis is the marketing strategy for VNShop. Scope of research The scope of this thesis is the marketing strategy for VNShop; this strategy will be for VNShop mobile applicationfor the time duration 2017 – 2020. Research methodology There are 2 research methods: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative Research is primarily exploratory research.
It is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. Qualitative Research is also used to uncover trends in thought and opinions, and dive deeper into the problem. Qualitative data collection methods vary using unstructured or semi-structured techniques.
Some common methods include focus groups (group discussions), individual interviews, and participation/observations. The sample size used by this method is typically small, and respondents are selected to fulfil a given quota. Quantitative research is used to quantify the problem by way of generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into usable statistics. It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other defined variables – and generalize results from a larger sample population.
Quantitative research uses measurable data to formulate facts and uncover patterns in research. Quantitative data collection methods are much more structured than Qualitative data collection methods. Quantitative data collection methods include various forms of surveys – online surveys, paper surveys, face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, longitudinal studies, online polls, and systematic observations. In this thesis I will use both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Qualitative method will be used to explore and to understand the current company 3 (LUAN.market TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.market situation,then a quantitative research to measure the current brand aware level of the company.
