EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Philips has been a leading brand in electronics in India and across the world. Philips with its wide range of products caters to the premium segment of the market. Philips faces intense competition, especially from the low-cost, local rivals of the market. With this intense competition, Philips has to cater to the various needs and demands of their consumers. This project aims at identifying various problems faced by the company in Indore Market and the consumer preference with reference to Electronics, Electricals and Personal Care Products.

Through this project I have found out that Philips faces intense competition from the local rivals and the major market share belongs to the low-cost companies. Also, Philips as a whole needs to reposition itself and its products especially to get over of the image created in the minds of the gentry that Philips deals best in lightening products. For this project the primary data was collected through questionnaire and secondary data was collected through internet and magazines.

EVOLUTION OF PHILIPS AS A BRAND

Wherever encountered, the Philips brand is a familiar sight in millions of households and buildings throughout the world with its instantly recognizable word mark of seven blue capitalized letters. Although the company has evolved and grown over more than hundred years, Philips visual brand identity is rooted in its early years at the beginning of the 20th century.

Philips in 20th Century: First Lamp Advertisements

Established in 1891 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, Philips & Co. was founded to meet the growing demand for light bulbs following the commercialization of electricity.

In the early years of Philips & Co., the representation of the company name took many forms: one was an emblem formed by the initial letters of Philips & Co., and another was the word Philips printed on the glass of metal filament lamps. One of the very first campaigns was launched in 1898 when Anton Philips used a range of postcards showing the Dutch national costumes as marketing tools. Each letter of the word Philips was printed in a row of light bulbs as at the top of every card. In the late 1920s, the Philips name began to take on the form that we recognize today.

Philips Identity Trademarked: Origins of the Shield Emblem

The now familiar Philips waves and stars first appeared in 1926 on the packaging of miniwatt radio valves, as well as on the Philigraph, an early sound recording device. The waves symbolized radio waves, while the stars represented the ether of the evening sky through which the radio waves would travel. In 1930 it was the first time that the four stars flanking the three waves were placed together in a circle. After that, the stars and waves started appearing on radios and gramophones, featuring this circle as part of their design. Gradually the use of the circle emblem was then extended to advertising materials and other products. At this time Philips business activities were expanding rapidly and the company wanted to find a trademark that would uniquely represent Philips, but one that would also avoid legal problems with the owners of other well-known circular emblems. This wish resulted in the combination of the Philips circle and the word mark within the shield emblem.

In 1938, the Philips shield made its first appearance. Although modified over the years, the basic design has remained constant ever since and, together with the word mark, gives Philips the distinctive identity that is still embraced today.

Advertising Philips Brand Today

Whilst the logo of the company has been consistent since the1930s the way in which Philips has advertised and communicated to the outside world has varied. In general, until the mid-1990s all advertising and marketing campaigns were carried out at product level on a local market basis. This led to many different campaigns running simultaneously, not giving a global representation of Philips as a global company. To establish consistent global presence, in 1995 Philips introduced the first global campaign in 1995 under the tagline Lets make things better. This theme encapsulated the One Philips thinking and was rolled out globally in all markets and on all Philips products. This was also the first campaign that bought the whole company together, giving the employees a sense of belonging and providing a unified company look for an external audience. In September 2004, Philips launched its sense and simplicity brand promise, which marked a new way forward for the company. Sense and simplicity reflects Philips commitment to be a market-driven company that provides products and services that fulfill the promise of being designed around you, easy to experience and advanced. In 2008, the total estimated value of Philips brand increased by 8% to USD 8.3 billion and was ranked the 43rd most valuable brand in Inter brands 2008 ranking of best global brands.

PHILIPS STRATEGY IN INDIA

Philips India, is in a bid to aggressively push its sales in the rural/semi-urban segment and has designed an innovative strategy for these regions. Called the `Philips Mahasangram Integrated Marketing Programmes', the rural initiative will be taken across the country from July 2, focusing on rural towns with a population of less than 5,000 and semi-urban towns with a

population between 5,000 and 50,000. , The Philips Mahasangram is aimed at taking Philips' new products to the semi-urban and rural customers and increasing their awareness where product knowledge, information and availability are concerned. An indication of the size of this initiative can be obtained from the fact that Philips will be spending about 4.5 per cent of its turnover from the rural/semi-urban areas on the Mahasangram alone. Meanwhile, the key reason behind this initiative lies in the growing potential of the rural market. According to industry data, while in 1997-98, rural sales formed about 25 per cent of the total sales for CTVs, refrigerators and washing machines, it increased to 36 per cent in 20012002 and is expected to go up to as high as 41 per cent in 2006-07. Apart from initiating new marketing and distribution programmes, Philips will also be launching a range of new products during the rural initiative. Meanwhile, Philips plans to implement an innovative FMCG style marketing strategy to push its durables in the rural segment. The Mahasangram Integrated Marketing Programme is essentially about implementing a non-durables strategy marketing in a consumer durable segment. The management is planning effective use of a number of media vehicles to ensure efficient communication of the message and maximum utilization of the money spent. The advertising and marketing strategy will be a combination of above-the-line and belowthe-line/ on-ground activities. Various promotional activities which Philips plans to initiate during the Mahasangram include a series of on-ground activities such as point of sale material at retailers' counters, roadshows, mobile vans with Philips products on display and games, innovative tactics like advertising on an inland letter form or postcard (a popular form of communication in rural areas) and sponsorship of local events, among other things. On the distribution front, Philips claims to have the biggest distribution network (as compared to other consumer electronics companies) and a high degree of penetration even in the rural and semi-urban areas. The company has carried out an extensive product-wise mapping exercise over 540 districts across India. Keeping in mind the objective of extensive physical reach of 80 per cent plus, where portable audio is concerned, the company has developed a second line of activity in the distribution set-up. Also, in order to cater to volume drivers i.e., major retailers, company has identified the main retailers of each distributor and practice the Key Account

Management Approach with them, so that there is a focus on improving relations, trade with these retailers, and catering to their needs. These steps have helped in developing their volume reach, geographical reach and counter share significantly. Philips is hoping that its innovative rural marketing initiative coupled with the high growth in the rural market will boost its market share. How Philips India doubled its sales The company launched an aggressive new advertising campaign in print, television and online. The new tagline "Sense and simplicity" showcases the new brand promises -- using technology to make life simpler and easier. Company sources say Philips is counting on the new campaign to help it grow by at least 25 per cent this year. That's in the future, but how did Philips almost double its market share in under four years? Interestingly, the company didn't adopt radically different strategies. It paid attention to what customers wanted; passed on cost benefits; and brushed up its admittedly fuddy-duddy image. According to Mr. D Shivkumar, executive director, consumer electronics, Philips, "We have managed to grow the business by focusing on the price -- quality equation." The battle of perception Philips has been a household name in India for 75 years, but consumers associated the brand more with tube lights and transistors than cutting-edge technology. That's ironic, considering the company has made its mark globally as a technology leader -- it invented the cassette recorder, the compact disc and the DVD; the last in association with Sony. But a survey by advertising agency JWT, which held the Philips account from 2001 (it has recently moved to Mudra), revealed that Philips technology was seen as reliable but not stateof-the-art. Clearly, Philips needed an image makeover. It began by taking the technology route. Post2001, advertising campaigns emphasised the company's technologically-advanced features. Philips was the first audio company to launch an MP3 player (May 2002), and it made sure its communication played that up: "Don't buy a system if it doesn't have an MP3 player." Then there was the October 2002 campaign, in which a little boy uses the power of the music system to nudge the cookie jar off the top-most kitchen shelf.

The company was constantly refining the image of the company in the minds of the consumer, making it more modern. But that wasn't enough. That's where in-store displays and promotions that demonstrated the abilities of Philips products came in. In October 2003, JWT broke the "Ramu kaka" ad, where the manservant inadvertently inserts a roti into the DVD player. The tagline made the message clear: "The new Philips DVD player plays anything". The campaign proved immensely popular - it was used in other Asian countries as well -- and Philips wasn't slow in leveraging its appeal. At live demos, customers would be invited to slip rotis into the player, creating a buzz around the product and the brand. But that would probably appeal more to families and Philips needed to reach out to the youth, its target customer base. So it went to where the action was -colleges and rock festivals. Philips set up stalls, complete with a professional DJ. Youngsters were invited to man the console, while the DJ gave them tips on mixing and spinning. And had huge walk-ins and could provide an involvement and experience with the brand. Clinch the dealer Philips has successfully played the price card, but not all price cuts have been due to better or cheaper technology. In some segments like radios, it did away with trade discounts and passed on the savings to the customer. Two years ago, Philips' radios sold at Rs 600 -- a huge premium compared to the Rs 200 or so that other brands cost. In mid-2003, the company slashed the price to Rs 400 and even introduced new models at the Rs 160 price point, especially targeting the non-urban youth segment. Not surprisingly, dealers were upset at their shrinking margins. Some started stocking competing brands, only to return, claim company officials, when they found volumes were increasing exponentially. They soon realized it was more profitable to sell Philips radios because the turnover is much higher. To ensure the penetration and distribution happens, Philips changed its distribution strategy around two years ago. Distributors were now allocated smaller geographical territories so they can concentrate on getting firmer footholds in their areas.

Distributor in upcountry markets, who were earlier allotted five or six districts are now given only two or three. And not all are given the entire product range so that the focus is sharper. Creating the value proposition Philips realized early on that maintaining the price-quality equation is critical. That's especially true of the minis (DVD and VCD hi-fi systems) segment, which accounts for a quarter of the audio market in value terms. Even as Philips constantly raised the technology bar (MP3 players, deeper bass, sleeker, more streamlined systems), it's kept its prices competitive. The company prices its minis at Rs 8,00025,000, compared with the market range of Rs 7,500-30,000. Moreover, prices have been falling by 10 per cent on average every year. Of course, that's true for other brands as well but, Philips "found the sweet spot at which youngsters could buy". How did it do that? By ensuring that it was perceived neither as a price warrior like Aiwa or Sansui nor prohibitively expensive -- Sony products are on average 10 per cent more expensive. Philips also brought in help from outside. In late 2002, it tied up with Countrywide and Citibank to provide accessible finance schemes for its products. Compared to equal monthly installments of about Rs 1,000 earlier, the new schemes let customers pick up state-of-the-art sound machines for as little as Rs 333 a month - that too, without a downpayment. Has that helped? Consider: Philips entered the minis segment only in 2000, a year behind Sony. But it's now carved up the market with Sony, with 45 per cent share each. The company also paid close attention to customer feedback. It has ramped up the number of service centres across the country to 190, from 125 two years ago. Today, over 900 technicians now attend to complaints, up from 600 in 2002.
