REGIONAL CHANNEL STRATEGYAND WIDE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

• LG has adopted the regional distribution model in India. All the distributors work directly with the company.

• This has resulted in quicker rotation of stocks, and better penetration into the B, C, and D class markets.

• LG also follows the strategy of stock rotation, rather than dumping stocks on channel partners.

• LG has over 46 branch offices and another 110 area offices across the country.

• LG had set a target of developing 2,000 dealers in 2004, in addition to the existing 3,000 dealers all over India.

Factors for success

INNOVATIVE MARKETING STRATEGIES To make itself a known brand in the consumer

electronics sector, LG has taken innovative marketing and promotional initiatives:

• Launch of new technologies in consumer electronics and home appliances.

• LG was the first brand to enter cricket in a bigway, by sponsoring the 1999 World Cup, and followed it up in 2003 as well.

• LG brought in four captains of the Indian cricket team to endorse its products. LG invested more than US$8 million on advertising and marketing in this sport.

• LG has differentiated its products using technology and health benefits. The CTV range has ‘Golden Eye’ technology, air-conditioners have the ‘Health Air System’ and microwave ovens have the ‘Health Wave System’.

LOCAL AND EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING TO REDUCE COST

• To overcome high import duties, LG manufactures PC monitors and refrigerators in India at its manufacturing facility at Noida, Delhi.

• LGEIL had already commissioned contract manufacturing at Mohali, Kolkata and Bhopal for CTVs. This has helped LGEI to reduce costs.

• LGEIL is implementing a “digital manufacturing system” (DMS) as a cost-cutting innovation.

• This system is a follow-up to the Six Sigma exercise LGEIL had initiated earlier.

PRODUCT LOCALISATION Product localisation is a key strategy used

by LG. • LG came out with Hindi and regional language

menus on its TV.

• Introduced the low-priced “Cineplus” and “Sampoorna” range for the rural markets.

• LG was the first brand to introduce gaming in CTVs. In continuation of its association with Cricket, LG introduced the cricket game in CTVs.

R&D POTENTIAL• LG has set up research and development

facilities in India at Bangalore and is in the process of setting up another at Pune.

• Both the units carry out R&D work for the domestic market as well as for the parent company. It also does customised R&D for specific countries to which it exports products.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

• Global Take-Back Policy

• Guidance on the Disposal of End-of-Life Products

• Recycled Plastic Applications

FUTURE PLANS• LG has a positive perception of India and

the Indian consumer.• LG is making a foray into the e-commerce

market in India and has partnered with various local websites like fabmall.com, rediff.com, indiatimes.com, and indiaplaza.com.

• LG is also planning to invest over US$ 208 million in India over the next three years to expand the business.

• Mobile software development is also on LG’s agenda.
