MARKETING STRATEGIESBAL adopted different marketing strategies

for different models , few of them are discussed below-

Kawasaki 4s-first attempt by Bajaj to make a mark in the motor cycle segment. The target customer was the father in the family but the target audience of the commercial was the son in the family. The time at which Kawasaki 4s was launched,

HERO HONDA was the market leader in Fuel – efficient

YAMAHA in the Performance Bikes.

CONTDThe commercial of Kawasaki 4s had the

punch line ” KYUN HERO”, which reflected the

aggressiveness in the marketing front by the company.

2nd marked entry of Bajaj bikes with the name ‘ Hoodibabaa’

Bike placed it as a trendy motorcycle for the college – goers

& 25 plus executives both at the same time.

STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY BAL FOR RURAL AREA’S Bajaj Auto also plans to set-up an

independent network of dealers for the Rural area’s.

The need of financing ,selling , distribution and even after sales services are completely different in the Rural area’s & don’t makes sense for city dealers to control this.

BAJAJ MARKET SHARE INCREASE’S RAPIDLY

100CC BAJAJ DISCOVER JUST INCHES AWAY FROM SPLENDOR

The Discover 100 cc, which was launched only in July last year has managed to become the second largest selling bike in India in a span of just 11 months. The bike has overtaken Hero Honda’s Passion and is now closing in on the heels of Hero Honda’s bread and butter model, the Splendor.

CUSTOMERS PREFER BAJAJ DISCOVER 100CC OVER 135CC “The overall mindset of the Indian two-

wheeler buyer is transfixed towards the fuel-efficiency of the bike. Any increase in fuel prices has a psychological effect on the buyer”.

BAJAJ V/S HERO HONDAQUESTION - WHICH BRAND DO YOU LIKE

MOST & WHY?ANS- 40% SAYS BAJAJ 50% SAYS HERO HONDAWHY HERO HONDA-1- SERVICES CENTRES AVAILABLE EASILY.2-SPARE’S PART COST IS LOW

COMPARITIVE TO BAJAJ.3-AVERAGE OF HERO HONDA IS GOOD.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH’S

Highly experienced Management. Extensive R & D Focus. Widespread distribution n/w. High Performance product across all

categories.

WEAKNESS’S Still has no established brand to match

Hero honda’s Splendor in commuter segment.

Not a global player in spite of huge volumes.

Not a globally recognizable brand (unlike the JV partner kawasaki ).

OPPORTUNITIES Double – digit growth in two wheeler

market. Untapped market above 180 cc in

motorcycle. The growing gearless trendy scooters &

scooter market. Growing world demand for entry –

level motorcycles especially in emerging markets.

THREAT’S The competition catches up any new

innovation in no time. Threat of imported motorcycles from

china. Margins getting Squeezed from both the

direction ( Price as well as cost ). Tata Ace is a serious competition for the

three wheelers cargo segment.

BAJAJ IS LOOKING TO SET TRI-ALLINACE WITH KAWASAKI AND KTM

HOW THIS TRI-ALLIANCE WILL BENEFIT TO ALL THE THREE PARTNERS

All three players would be able to share their dealership network which means reduction in cost, better distribution network and increased volume. For example KTM is planning to sell 1,00,000 units by end of 2013 using Bajaj dealership network. Kawasaki already has sold more than 500 Ninja through Bajaj dealership network.

KAWASAKI WOULD EB ABLE TO LEARN

“Kawasaki would be able to learn Bajaj low

cost structure and advanced technology of

off road bikes from KTM”

BAJAJ WOULD AB ABLE TO LEARN

“Bajaj on other hand would be able to compete globally with global giants like

Honda and Yamaha by KTM and Kawasaki

partnership”

KTM WOULD BE ABLE TO LEARN

“KTM would able to learn manufacturing cost

structure of high displacement motorcycle from Kawasaki and low cost structure from

Bajaj”

BAJAJ PLANNING TO BEAT NANO

UPCOMING BAJAJ MODELS Bajaj Sonic -- New entrant in the

light sports bike segment .

-- Targeting Young guys passionate for style & performance.

-- USP = Robust looks & Cool Style.

-- FEATURES = 100 cc Bikes segment with DTSi Twin plug technology with exhaus TEC.

EXPECTATIONS Bajaj Auto says its $2,500 car, which it is

building with Renault and Nissan Motor, will aim at a fuel-efficiency of 30 km/litre.

The car is scheduled to be launched in 2012.

It is a Tata Nano competitor. The Bajaj venture will have an initial capacity of 400,000 units, while Tata expects eventual demand of 1 million Nanos.
