showed a growth of 17%, with an increase in exports by more than
40%. Sales trend of 3-wheelers in Indian market
13. Chennai Market
From the above statistics we can make out that there is enormous
demand for the 3 wheeler market in India and the same can be
interpretated for the Chennai region as well. Another important
point to be noted is that since Shollinganallurisn't such a highly
developed place and many people who are living here, make their
source of living either by Farming, Drivers etc and this is a great
potential for the 3 wheeler market as these category of people
generally use this kind of vehicle.
14. Market Segmentation
Local residents (People living within a locality of 25 Kms from the
showroom) would be the people who will be targeted and people from
Pondicherry are also expected to come to Mato-Auto as there isnt a
showroom in Pondi with all the Brands under one roof.
15. Strategy and Implementation Summary
Competitive Edge: Mato-Autos competitive edge lies in the vision of
its Owner, who understand better than many of their rivals that a
visit does not just include a customer to but a 3 wheeler, it
includes the entire service experience
Positioning Statement: It is the express purpose of Mato-Auto to
become the local leader in quality and service experience of all
the small Dealerships firms within the Chennai Circle while
maintaining a low cost plan.
16. Marketing Strategies
The company has a modest program of marketing its services that
include the following:
Flyers.
Direct mailers.
Discounts to regular Customers.
Newspaper ads.
Yellow pages.
Referrals through other local businesses.
17. Promotion Strategy
The promotion strategy will take the form of flyers, direct
mailers, price discounts, and advertisements in newspapers and
yellow pages. Mato-Auto will also make its presence felt in Micro
Blogging sites like Twitter. Mato-Auto doesnot desire to spend a
large amount on marketing until the firm is ready to expand either
into new facilities or open up new ones. It is estimated this will
occur sometime after 2 years
18. Pricing Strategy
Mato-Auto exists in a purely competitive environment where each
firm must be a price taker. In other words, the firm has no ability
to affect the market price of its services, regardless of how many
automobiles sells. In this case, therefore, marginal revenue (the
revenue incurred by producing or servicing one more unit) is Just
10% to the price charged. Furthermore, because the demand curve is
essentially horizontal, Mato-Auto can sell automobiles at total
capacity without effecting the price.
19. Sales Forecast
Since the 3 Wheeler industry is, operationally, a sales-shop
environment, it is somewhat difficult to estimate sales.From our
statistics earlier we have come to a consensus that there will be
atleat 2 vehicles sold on a day to day basis and given that 10% is
the margin the manufacturers give for the Dealers, it would mean
that there would be a profit of Rs 10,000 per Vehicle. For the most
part, sales for an automobile dealership are steady year round and
reflect little seasonality.
