  • 1.2 Introduction Today India `is one of the most fastest growing economies all over the globe and a live example which shows the development is the growth of the telecommunication industry in India, especially the in the field of cellular communication. As we all know that the first mobile phone was launched in India during 1990s and the first mobile phone company which was established by Finland was Nokia. In the year 1995, the first service provider was the Modi group which was established in Kolkata. As the recent states shown, it is said that after china, India is the worlds fastest growing industry in the world in terms of number of wireless connections, With 811.59 million mobile phone subscribers. According to the world telecommunications industry, it is estimated that India will be having 1.200 billion mobile users by 2013. The projections made by several leading global consultancies indicate that the total number of cellular users in India will be exceeding by the total subscriber count in the China by 2013.

    In the human life, there is the great change in the standard of living by the invention of the mobile phones. They have been the heart and soul of the human beings in any part of the world. By the invention of the great phones they have been the cup of tea because they have all the functions like voice calling, text messaging and mobile Internet access is an unsettling one. As we all familiar, cell phones didnt just happen overnight. They evolved, just like us. Cell phones evolved over five different generations, the latest of which is still being rolled out and adopted by users. By the time most of us will have switched to 4G there will undoubtedly be yet another standard to aspire to. A lot of sudden changes has been accepted by us from the time that mobiles were unheard of in India to the present where they have become almost everyones priority. In the recent times, we have seen that the Indian telecommunications sector has undergone a major process of changes because of significant Government policies reforms. India is familiar for the use of both the GSM (global system for mobile communications) and CDMA (code-division multiple access) technologies in the mobile sector. The Indian cell phones scenario seems to be all set for the next stage - expansion and consolidation, but there are a bit complicated talking as well. Every users are not able to afford the costly handset now-a-days, So the thing which is expected is increase in the growing user base so these type of mobile handsets can become affordable to almost every middle class people. The young mobile savvy generation currently feels less privileged in nearly every sector. And that's precisely what is filling the growth in mobile handsets across the whole country. As the market expands but the need of users and the

  • features are increasing day by day, and hence the cell phones are becoming a new vehicle for reaching out to the mobile generation. As of today, India boldly presently herself as one of the biggest dream business destination for every cellular service provider. The discovery of huge Indian market potential has just begun for cell phone handsets.

    Due to the globalization of markets, it has been one of the major business developments in the last thirty years (Levatt, 1983; Keegan 1999, Schultz and Kitchen 2000). Now-a-days, it is seen that every domestic market as well as international markets are impacted by the pressure of global competition. Market places are transitioning to demand side approaches with a focus on customer needs and wants. Customer relationship management (CRM) thus place an important role in marketing management of products and services. The effect of globalization is still under researched area. The market segmentation and positioning strategies need to diversify more widely to accommodate customer needs and preferences. The structure of competitive environments may also differ hugely from country to country, state to state as may product / service life cycle stage. Marketing itself is now concerned with understanding of target audience and developed the value proposition by the needs and the wants of the customers, and then creating the marketing approach.

    The consistency of the image of the brand across the markets (Kotabe & Helsen 1998) Standardization of marketing communication is needed. To diversify in consumer needs and preferences Market segmentation and positioning is important. The structure of the competitive environment may also differ widely from country to country, state to state and not necessary to mention current product life cycle stage on the temporal dimension. These factors will inevitably effect on marketing communication strategies and techniques. Many writers (Gronholdt et al, 2000) stressed the importance of CRM in stabling and increasing customer satisfaction and their needs in order to create brand loyalty and thus enhance business performance for organization. It has been said by the great gurus to be more competitive in market, and one has tofocus on the needs of the consumers and not only focusing but fulfilling those expectations. This focuses something called brand choosing and brand switching. Brand is the heart and soul of the product. It is a perceived quality, not necessarily real. In the process of creating great personality Brand positioning plays the great role. Brand positioning as an important part describes the target market set for themselves in terms of how they need their product to be perceived by the

  • consumer. If one say Vodafone what comes to your mind mobile service provider, quality service, expensive, Sachin, Shahrukh Khan.

    So image is actually sum of vibrant that the company grows through the different types communications.. either over the road and below the road.

    Customer fun turns an important role beneath building good connection if this important component is not remained established than both the brand image on that connection are worst to be able to wrong.

    SO BUILDING THE BRAND IS A LONG AND HARD PROCESS WHICH

    COMPANIES HAVE TO FOLLOW.

    To be able to have the private place beneath both the mind of prospects consumers image poisoning is so important. It can be either real and superficial .In formulating both the brand process, image poisoning turns a significant and key role. In simple terms, it's find one market in the psyche of the target component consumer so much which (i) the promoting s actually perceived to a differentiation and / and (ii) takes into thinking the innate has of consumers anytime crucial. The USP and also the brand meaning are usually strongly among the image positioning. Image positioning is and linked with managing one brands point.

    Un Like MICROMAX image strongly of Nothing like Anything at all, LG `s brand highly of Life's Good', MOTOROLA image strongly associated with Psyche Everywhere, VEDIOCON brand highly associated with Dhamakeka indicate", NOKIA is actually a image strongly associated with between people, RELIANCE is actually one brand highly of karlo Duniya muthi me, M.T.N.L. is actually a brand highly associated with Mumbai kakhas cellular and so on.

    The most unique skill of advanced markets is their own ability to create, keep, safeguard and improve brands. The application of promotion things and applications are usually covered and also designed by Strategic image management that

    covers to build measure and manage brands to maximize their value. This process involves:

    i) Knowing and sustaining brand value.

  • ii) Identifying and establishing brand positioning. iii) Planning and implementing brand marketing iv) Measuring and interpreting brand performance.

    Brands identify the source or market of product / services and allow consumers to assign responsibility to a particular manufacture or distributor. Consumer can evaluate the identical product / service differently depending on how it is branded. With the help of past experiences with the product / service and its marketing program Consumers learn about brands. Consumers find out which brands satisfy their needs and which one does not. Brands also perform valuable functions for companies / organization. Brands can signal a certain level of quality and service so that satisfied buyers can easily choose the product / service again and again.

    Brand loyalty provides predictability and security of demand for the firm and creates barrier to entry for competitors to enter the market. Loyalty also can translate into a willingness to pay a

    higher price often 20 to 25%. To secure a competitive advantage as a powerful means More branding can be seen. It is endowing products and services with the power of a brand. Consumers must be convinced that there are meaningful differences among brands in the product or service category for branding strategies to be successful and brand value to be created. In todays scenario, brand loyalty is an area which is not only topical but also confusing to marketers, given the complexities of the marketing environment both in Western markets and in the Indian context. On the one hand, traditional literature advocates that loyal consumers are cost effective to retain vis--vis the cost of acquiring new consumers. On the other, present-day literature suggests that more than loyalty loss, customer migration management were effective

    when it comes to examine the amount of loyalty. Other key direction on commitment trends is actually which satisfaction cant lead to brand commitment (because of a lot of occasions)? Brand moving may be a normal behavior of most buyers. There will be one pattern of image switching - one customer may custom a brand 3 times consecutively, try open a little additional brands and return to his original image (perhaps beneath one category as if cleaners). Consumers can also reflect occasion-based brand purchase. Brand commitment must be differentiated on repeat buying. And brand loyalty wills lead to reproduce purchase, there is distinction between the two when they're considered when it comes to behavior.

  • Repeat purchase without commitment towards the brand may take place when one customer buys one brand either as there is actually absolutely no alternative and as he / she feels to be not worthwhile to find and assess all brands. Commitment happens when the customer is committed to one brand. One smoker of specific image would try in a number of retail outlets with regard to his preferred brand on which brand is not totally free out there. But that's not the condition in mobile services as there are players carrying their own brand image and also every one effort to be able to prove itself in different scene situation. Now allowed discuss brand, client loyalty, ranking etc in certain scene conditions. Latest books on look at indicate that folks could be more some about the image commitment of buyers if two sizes are highly suggested, namely, behavior and also attitudinal loyalty. Behavior loyalty consists of features like point on the market, willing to bring information to the business when crucial and also routine re-ordering. Attitudinal commitment has advocating both the brand to someone else, top-of-mind awareness, confidence, emotional trust post propensity to pay a quality. An investigation to these both sides would provide all insights to folks for thinking commitment programmes, taking into thought competitive offerings. Define, differentiate and defend reflects the essence of any whole positioning strategy even in several market state of affairs.

  • 1.3 Review Of Literature Androulidakis ; G. Kandus (2011) correlate the complete of portable to users security practices,. Customers shows completely different behavior with regard to characteristics in line with the various complete of the cellular phone that they're fitly mistreatment. As there's a

    categorization for every complete, wherever customers square measure clearly lacking security

    mind, as a result of awareness. Such a categorization will facilitate cellular phone corporations to reinforce their cell phones wherever security is concern. Cellular devices square measure ceaselessly changing in to an awfully vital part of the digital economy, a method standing and a awfully helpful communication device, that forms important part of standard of living for several folks round the globe . There exist several of brands, overlapping in publics for communication. Given their iniquitousness, cell phones square measure used from each practiced and security savvy users moreover as from those who don't have any information of security problems.

    measures. They must give sensible sign additional security to their phone handsets. Operators additionally ought to defend their network. Each along will educate their customers their capability. As this analysis reveals, users shows completely different levels of information with regards to security counting on the various complete of the cellular phone they're mistreatment.

Stark Jerrold Rumple, Joan H Meier, parliamentarian J Bell and Reginald L (2008), elaborates that the executives seeking promoting methods to retain or gain market share within the extremely competitive cell business got to perceive young consumers' perceptions of the importance of bundled options on the cellular telephones (phones) they sell. One approach to hunt a market advantage is to section the market to spot segments that the merchandise could also be most well-liked. This study was conducted at 2western universities, with limitations, so as to answer these and connected queries. This study was directed toward cell users to spot and isolate their cell possession, use and analysis of elite cell options. The study disclosed several segmentation factors on that the cell market could be segregated to higher serve the saturated market. These findings can enable marketers of cellular telephones to review their promoting strategy as associated with the tactic and basis for market segmentation they use. Theres chance to section supported gender in promoting cell phone options since males attended appraise futures over females telephone options over females.

    Segmentation supported age ought to be fruitful. Targeting younger consumers by accenting the importance of cell options, particularly those concerning the E-Commerce bundles ought to achieve success. It had been additionally noted that there was a big distinction within the attitudes and wishes of the "rural vs. HBCU" students. The agricultural students placed a lower worth on options like e-mail, net and digital cameras. A significant finding of this study was the scholars United Nations agency had specific options on their cellular telephones attended rate that options over those that didnt have the feature. A promoting implication of this finding is marketers ought to style programs that enable consumers to expertise every product feature for a brief time as a "trial" with the expectation that the client would appraise the feature higher when

  • the "trial" and would be additional probably to buy. Since the electro-acoustic transducer was a predictor of the "safety" issue there seem to be several opportunities to plug cellular telephones with the protection feature and differentiate their giving supported the protection feature. Marketers might differentiate the feature supported simple use, appearance, size etc. to achieve a differential advantage. The domestic marketplace for cellular telephones is mostly thought of to be approaching saturation which implies competitors within the market will now not expect growth by promoting to nonusers. The traditional response to promoting in saturated markets is to feature worth to the merchandise by "line extension", i.e., adding new options to the prevailing product or "product development", commutation the previous product with one which has these new options. Either approach needs associate degree appreciation of the worth placed on every feature by shoppers. In fact the cell market is in constant amendment just like different electronic merchandise, thus, marketers ought to perpetually review buyers' attitudes, opinions and values relating to dynamic cell options. This paper may be a market segmentation study for the cellular phone business. There have been limitations. The freelance variables (cell phone options and demographic characteristics) can't be construed as having a causative result on the dependent variables (perceptions of the importance of cellular phone features); that means, cellular phone options don't seem to be contributing influencers on perceptions of the importance of options. Populations square measure assumed commonly distributed. Solely 2 universities were elite for the study, thus, generalizing results to any aspired population is cautioned against. There square measure nearly a hundred cellular phone options on the market on variety of brands and solely10options were analyzed during this study. These options were known by attention cluster of school students; so, a group of 10 completely different options would possibly generate different results if this study were replicated within the future. Another thought not evaluated was the impact of intensity of competition prevailing in every market space.
