COMPETITORS STRATEGY
RECOMMENDATIONAccept the proposal Using “ATM” methods (observe, duplicate &
modify) this proposal should be a good way to test customers satisfaction and increasing the retention rate.
This will impact to the increase of after sales department expenses, but if this promotion strategy succeed, after sales could gain profit from other services (spare part, oil, etc. )
This will improve the coordination/ collaboration between two main income center which should also increase the overall company’s profit
RECOMMENDATIONXiamen will follow the suits This “duplicating” strategy will be more
powerful by modifying the services provided to the customer such as;
Provide home care services for regular services Create the comfortable waiting room completed
with free WIFI and playground area for children In cooperation with Banking Services to give
discount rate promo for the customerThis modification strategy will increase long life/ intimacy and customer satisfaction
RECOMMENDATION
COST EFFICIENCY STRATEGY Sales Department have a pressure to
sell the automobile unit that has been distributed by the distributor to avoid any storing cost.
Sales Department should continue using good media advertising to increase the unit selling
