Pricing Strategy : Skimming
• Initially charge high price as our product is unique
and has a first mover advantage
• Since this advantage can be copied by other
Chinese manufacturers, price will eventually be
reduced due to increase in competition
• This pricing will allow the firm to recover the sunk
cost before competition steps into this segment

New Distribution Channel
Divide state into a few parts where we can assign a macro distributor, and connect all
the small distributors to macro distributors. Macro- Distributor will provide products as Retailer
Micro- Distributor Micro-Distributor Retailer
well as service support to Micro-Distributors. Coverage area of micro-distributors will
be clearly and no other distributor will provide services in that area. Example: We can (Ghaziabad) (Saharanpur)
divide UP into two parts : UP West and UP East. In UP West we can appoint macro
distributors and under him we can assign distributors of all the districts like Ghaziabad,
Saharanpur and Mathura Retailer Retailer Retailer Retailer Target Customers

Why do we need micro/macro distribution channel?

Our Target audience lies in the range of Lower middle class to upper class. To target these tiers we need to enter deep inside the market as well as semi-urban
market where distributors has two problems: 1) Low demand, accessories come in bulk order which are not required in some regions which make unprofitable
business for distributor 2) Low margin in accessories segment Aspiring middle class, which, to a
large extent includes young
professionals, entrepreneurs
Advantages of micro/macro distribution channel?
1) Fast Money rotation in business 2) Product will move fast which will increase awareness among customers , and in result company's vision of market
expansion will be achieved 3)Small distributor can order in smaller quantity 4) Larger market coverage as in rural area markets are scattered 4)Focus on rural as
well as semi-urban market will increase
• Quality Products at affordable price
• Robust Service Propositions
After Sale Policy • Local marketing campaign to increase
We will be following the conventional method which will include the consumer to return the damaged product to the retailer. There will be a 6 months word of mouth publicity
warranty policy. The following factors should be kept in mind while returning/exchanging: 1) Damaged during delivery 2)Hardware/ Software issues • Premium product perception
