extent, we shall do what is right and do them well, and stay on track along the way.
COMES FROM vivo
The word “vivo” comes from Ancient Latin and Italian. It was from 600 B.C to 600 A.D., when
great heroes like Caesars and Octavian made great achievements; and to express their respect to these
heroes, many Roman citizens gathered in front of the Senate and hailed with flowers, when they could not
help but making “[‘vi:vəu]” sounds, which helped people then to establish the adjective—vivo.
In modern times, with the Italian opera getting more and more popular, we feel it is quite hard
to express our amazement and compliment of masterpieces by music masters like Verdi and Puccini.
Therefore, the word vivo has been employed, which adds implications like likeness and vitality of
outstanding arts to the word vivo.
In short, vivo does not only convey “dynamics and vitality”, but also expresses our heart-felt
respect to heroes, masterpieces and the like. Its primitive but concise pronunciation is the very first response
we have the minute we witness the birth of newborns or occurrence of great events.

PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Sales promotion a key ingredient in marketing campaigns consists of a collection of incentive tools, mostly
short term, designed to stimulate quicker or greater purchase of particular products or services by customers.
Promotional activities play a key role in the entire marketing effort being carried out by Company. These
promotional activities generate more sales as well as create a good image of the product in the mind of the
customer.
The promotional tools used by company for its marketing activities are
Point of sale display
Incentives to retailers
Sales promotion through sponsoring special events
Advertising
POINT OF SALE DISPLAY
“There are many ways to communicate with consumers at the point of sale. In-store advertising includes
shopping carts, cart straps, aisles and shelves. The appeal of the point of sale advertising lies in the fact that
in many categories consumers make the bulk of their final decision regarding purchase in the shop.”
This is particularly true for those brands which have very low customer loyalty. Smart
phone is one such product in which most of the time buying decision is made at the spur of the moment
based on the brand which is readily available and catches the eye of the customer. For this reason company
invest heavily in this category by supplying the shop owners with stands so that they can keep the bottles
outside on those stands so that customers have an eye contact with them as he/she is entering the shop.
INCENTIVE TO RETAILERS
Another method of sales promotion being used by companies by running special incentive schemes for
retailers. This type of promotional strategy is conducted mainly during the peak season.
ADVERTISING
A very important part of advertising is to decide the medium of advertising and how much to spend on each
medium.
The different mediums used by Pepsi are:

Five “M” of advertising :
MISSIONWhat are the advertising objectives?

Distribution:-Distribution is the process of moving a product from its manufacturing source to the
customers with the help of intermediaries.
Distribution channel:-It is the set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a
product or service available for use or consumption. It is the way products and services get to the end-user,

channel increases the sales, attracting customer, increase company goodwill on the other hand avoid channel

vivo has a very strong distribution channel. vivo uses a Three-level channel that consists of Regional
office, Distributer and Retailor.

Me and our team mates promotional work in Bhubaneswar with the help of BTL activities
As mentioned on the above that every zone have one one promotion team which covers the
respective outlets. The daily works of the promotional team are;
From the beginning of the day they take their photo on the field and post it on the vivo promotional
group created in whatsapp for attendance.
Then we setup promotional tools like Arc gates, fixed mascots counters and dummy phones for out
shop demonstration. Our main motive is to increase brand awareness and brand knowledge which
leads to boost sales in the outlets. We convince customers by interacting them and make them aware
about our product features and price of the product.
We visit different outlets and analyze their demand as well as analyze the need of the customer by
interacting with them and solve the queries.
We mostly focus on our own road branding. We did our branding with GSBs(glow sign
boards),Posters, Arc Gates and Mascots. we did our in shop brandings by 360 degree branding,
Dummy sets, Danglers, Posters, Stickers on racks, Product demonstration table etc.
We organize a weekly mascot rally with movable mascot which grabs more customer attraction as
this kind of promotional activity is so interesting and new in the market. We perform tasks in
movable mascot apart from that we distribute pamphlets with full product specification. People take
picture with the mascot and anyhow they get a memory about the brand and the product and that
reflects in the time of purchasing phones; and at least for once the asked for vivo and then out
ISD(in shop demonstrator) do the rest and sale the phone. So by this way promotion boost sales.
(Movable mascot)
We have also done activities in crowed areas like SUM hospital, Market building, Khandagiri,
Bigbazar, BIITM college etc.
(Some Events)
The main purpose of all the promotional activity is to boost sales. And we are advised that take
picture of sales in which we had contribute our effort and we did it excellently. During my
internship I along with other interns have sold many phones and learn selling tricks.
(Sales with our effort)
Once we got the data, the next step was to analyze it. MS EXCEL were used for this part. Variables
were created corresponding to the questions and all the responses were filled in the sheet. SPSS
tools such as frequency, crosstabs and EXCEL tools such as bar, pie & scatter charts were used
to analyze the data.

Leaflets are not available all the times.
Stock is not available in all the zones.
Dealers are happy with vivo products. They got the products by the company at the time due to good
distribution channel.
SUGGESTIONS
There should be sufficient stocks provided to all the outlet as per the customer requirement.
The distribution channel should be improved.
There should be more promotional activities done in the public area.
The ad campaign should be made with the brand ambassadors.
New ideas should be implemented to grab customer attention.
vivo should be start EMI service for those customers who need.
Vivo should launch tablets to motivate the customers.
I had lot many things after working two months in vivo smart phone. I have all the theoretical
knowledge in marketing but don’t know how this will be implemented practically in the field, but after
working two months in vivo Smartphone I had learned all those things, such as :-
How branding will be done?
How promotional activities will be done?
How all the events will be done?
How to interact with different customers?
How to push the customers to purchase our product?
How to maintain a group?
CONCLUSION:-
Since BTL is effective than ATL so vivo should reconsider its marketing strategy with higher
advertising money going for BTL (preferably in the proportion of their respective effectiveness).
Setting up of canopies at commercial places,market place and mall will certainly show great
results.
We can’t afford to neglect the importance of ATL activities, they may not be as effective but give
information to a larger population creating a brand awareness. As we have already seen, brand
awareness has a significant association with customer base.Print media presented a very poor
show and vivo should reconsider its plans of pouring in any significant amount of money in this
media. Rather, that money should wisely be used to set-up more number of Hoardings and
banners.
Vivo is a china based smartphone company, but it provides better quality product with compare
to other china based smartphones. Vivo smartphone is popular for hifi features and funtouch OS.
