ChenOne as started in 1996 in Rahim Yar Khan at a very small scale, the idea was just to
test whether opening such a retail store would be profitable or not. After a good response
within just 6 months the Chenab Limited decided to open first operational outlet in
Islamabad.
Now there are 10 outlets in Pakistan whereas 6 outlets are working abroad in Dubai,
Ajman, Makkah and Behrain. Trio was completed in the UAE market with opening of the

Market Segmentation and Target MarketCustomer satisfaction is the ultimate marketing goal to be achieved by utilizing
marketing tools. To achieve this goal organizations usually do segmentation of their
markets in order to best serve the needs of their customers. In this regard customers can
be grouped in two unequal size segments:
Business Consumers
Personal use Consumers
ChenOne is targeting both customers.
This segmentation is done on four broader bases:
Demographics
Psychographics
Geographic
Behavioral
The advantages of segmentation are as follows: -
Precise Market Definition
Analysis of Competition
Response to Changing Market Needs
Efficient Resource Allocation
Effective Strategic Planning
ChenOne use to segment its market on the Demographics basis on the priority basis.
Their segmentation is based on:
Income
Social Class
Second base is Psychographics, which includes:
Personality: sophisticated
ChenOne has targeted both Business Customers and Land Lords as well as both come of
from high-income category. In this category they are very specifically targeting their
customers.
In Social class they are targeting Upper-Upper and Upper-Middle persons.
Segmentation 13
Both factors indicate that their customers are status oriented and are ready to pay higher
prices for better quality.

ServicesChenOne is providing following services:
Interior Consultancy
After-Sale Services
Interior Consultancy
Special attention has been given to the interior and layout for each outlet. The display,
shelving and lighting is unique for each store.
The home section displays products portraying trendy bedrooms with all possible
matching accessories. To make shopping decisions easier, interior consultants are
available for assistance. Customers can seek advice from these consultants to get new
ideas or information regarding new materials and products. Interior consultancy service is
absolutely free.
Customers can also use the services of interior consultants outside the store in reference
to their home. This department handles complete interior decor projects. Samples of
completed projects are available on request.
In this context ChenOne has recently renovated the President Musharaf’s house and
houses of Nazim and Naib-Nazim of Multan.
After-Sale Services
After sale services mainly include the
Complaint Handling
Warranty Claims
Usually this is the case with furniture where ChenOne is usually providing Warranty of 6
months. But if customers who have purchased garments brought the faulty one within
seven days of purchase ChenOne will provide the alternative or fix the problem with no
fee.
Marketing Mix 20
2. PriceThe strategies related to Price are clear. ChenOne is charging a flat rate on all of their
products. Like the range of their sofa sets varies from Rs.80000 to Rs.1400000. Also their
bed sheets range from Rs.5000 to Rs.10000.
Their prices are set at highest rate, this is because, according to their management our
customers belong to Upper-Upper class and most of them are rich people ranging from
Land lords to business persons. These people usually seek to shop at the place where
prices are high and show the status symbol.
Another reason is that ChenOne itself does Value Addition to the products. So they are of
the view that we provide total value-added, high quality products, hence charging
premium prices.
ChenOne introduces discount ranging from 10 to 50% almost every year two times. This
is so because at the start of every winter season the new design is introduced and same
thing is done when summer season started. When they introduced new design all the old
stuff obsoletes. So just to increase their turnover almost by 20 to 25% more than the
regular times ChenOne introduces discount series and discount strategy is being followed
at every outlet in Pakistan.
There is no bargaining allowed either at their center. Prices are fixed and tagged on the
products along with ChenOne brand name. Also there is a discount available to the
members of the Prestige Club. Following two strategies are being followed:
Membership is for one year, after that it has to be renewed.
If these members made a purchase of Rs.10000 in a year then
they are given discount of 10%.
If these members made a purchase of Rs.25000 or more than
their membership is freely renewed for the next year.
For ChenOne at present there is no problem regarding price competition just because of
their target market, so the price objectives are to maintain their Status Quo.
Marketing Mix 21
3. PlaceChenOne is using Exclusive Placement Strategy. Normally it appears to have only one
store in a city. But this concept is not true because they Chenab Limited also open more
than one store in high-density areas like Lahore. But still their strategy remains exclusive.
The reason is that within high-density areas they have divided that area into 2-3 large
areas with respect to their customers and used only one store in those areas.
Currently ChenOne is operating in:
Lahore
Islamabad
Karachi
Rawalpindi
Rahim Yar Khan
Multan
Abottabad
Peshawar
Faisalabad
Also ChenOne is operating abroad:
Dubai
Ajman
Makkah
Bahrain
Marketing Mix 22
4. PromotionNow a days it is imperative for any company to promote its products heavily. This can be
done in many ways like Sales Promotion, Advertising, Publicity, and Personal Selling.
But Advertising is playing an important role in promotion as companies are allocating a
heavy budget for the advertisements for their products.
ChenOne is not using Broadcast as a medium, they are heavily relying on Cable service
providers for their promotion, the reason is that they want their message to reach only to
their target market, or in other words they want to increase their reach. Also management
wants to reduce the clutter.
Following are the basic ways for the promotion of ChenOne:
News letters
Brochures
Catalogs
Magazines (Specially Fashion Mags)
Ads on cable
Banners
Events
The last point is very important. CheonOne is using the strategy of conducting Fashion
Shows in the areas where the management is interested in opening the outlet. In Multan
they used the same strategies for 3 years and by conducting such shows they gathered the
demographics of their will be customers. Once it became clear that Multan is the area
where they can target business persons and cover the area of lower Punjab, management
decided to open outlet in Multan.
Also by conducting events like “night shows”, “club nights” they also promote their new
products to their customers.
Also ChenOne is using the service of TCS in order to deliver their News Letters and
brochures to the business persons directly.
Ad Agency
The advertising agency of ChenOne is Evernew Concept, which is located at Lahore,
Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta.
Marketing Mix 23
5. PeopleMost of the services are provided by the people (employees). It is important for the any
company to:
a. Select
b. Train
c. Motivate
their employees because this will make a huge difference in customer satisfaction.
Better-trained persons exhibit 6 characteristics:
a. Competency
b. Credibility
c. Reliability
d. Responsiveness
e. Courtesy
f. Communication
In this regard ChenOne has a skilled workforce available. In Multan they have 16
workers.
6. PlaceThe interior and exterior of the outlet should give the impression to the visitor that this
place is of some standard and that he is putting his foot in right place. Customers
perceives about the service and its quality through Place, people and other things.
The idea chosen in Multan by ChenOne is the “ChenOne Tower”, located at Abdali
Road. The outlook of the Tower is really amazing and draws the attention of by-passer.
Also the parking facility is provided in base ground and is really upto international
standards.
The interior of the store is also self-speaking and gives an impression to their customers
about their choice. Different sections are made and two stories are dedicated for this
purpose. Rest of the building will be given on rent to interesting parties. Sections are well
decorated and samples are also shown in front of the section that really adds to their
appeal. Sections are labeled as well like if pants are to be bought then customer can find
them in Men’s wear section and they are arranged in order of 30” to 36”.
Marketing Mix 24
7. ProcessWhen customers enter the outlet, they will find a consultant at each section. When they
want to buy a product say a Bed Sheet, they will bring that sheet at the counter.
ChenOne is using the powerful computerized system. All the retail outlets are connected
with their center via the computer system. Chenab Group has signed an agreement with
ACCPAC to deploy their Enterprise Resource Planning modules in their business. In this
context Chenab Group has another project like ChenOne that is ChenSoft.
At counter the employee will fill the details of the order in the computer software, a copy
of which will be sent to the headquarter immediately and another copy will be kept safe
at local center and print out will be taken. Customer will sign that bill and another copy is
also safe.
The purpose of sending order information to headquarter is that the timely delivery of the
products will be made sure and no stock out occurs.

Conclusion
From previous analysis we conclude that:
Customers usually visit the ChenOne once in a month.
Customers came to know about ChenOne largely from their promotion through
Banners and then by Catalogue and News Letters that were mailed to them.
Customers largely purchase garments from ChenOne followed by the Bed Sheets.
Customers have a mix response regarding their visit to other stores in Multan.
This is also true because at ChenOne not complete variety of different product
lines is available so still these customers have to visit other stores to make their
purchases.
75% customers responded that they have visited ChenOne in other cities. This
thing shows the correct decision made by the management to open a retail outlet
in Multan.
Almost 50% respondents replied that they are satisfied with the ChenOne and
30% said that they are somewhat satisfied.
62% of the respondents replied that ChenOne does not need improvement.
50% of the respondents give “Very Good” rating to Staff Behavior.

49% of the respondents said that Complaint Handling is “Fair” while 25% said
that it is “Very Good”.
30% of the respondents give “Very Good” rating to the Claims Handling while
45% rate it “Good”.
From the above mentioned facts we can conclude that ChenOne is performing well in
Multan. As the fact described by the management that now most of their Multan area
customers have nearly stopped going to other cities because of the presence of ChenOne
here in Multan.
Conclusion 37
RecommendationsFollowing are the recommendations for the further improvement of ChenOne in Multan.
They should introduce handicrafts specially related to Multan culture. This trend
can also be incorporated in their Home Fashion accessories.
They should further increase their promotion level.
Still most people were of the view that the prices are relatively high, so
management should consider reducing their prices or introducing ranges.
Conclusion 38
