    Positioning the New Beetle

    • 1171 Words

    1) There are two attractive and distinct segments to which VW cannot attend without damaging its current positioning and brand awareness since it has been seen as an affordable and young brand. These two potential target segments are the baby-boomers and the 18- to 34-year-olds, the last is the brand's current target, achieved through the Drivers Wanted campaign. The baby-boomers segment is constituted by former Beetle users, who are now older and enjoy larger cars like SUV, however the New Beetle brings back several good memories which induce the desire to be back in those youth days creating nostalgic feelings that can be translated into sales. The 18- to 34-year-olds segment is composed by young and adventurous people, who enjoy an active driving experience, who want to be challenged and defy rules. On one hand, we have an older segment that already made some pre-orders and which is willing to pay a premium price, however there is the possibility that the sales will be only the pre-orders since this segment prefers a different type of cars nowadays. On the other hand, we have a younger segment, that is larger and has more potential to influence Beetle's sales in the long run, but it has price constraints.…

    Volkswagen of America is the U.S. subsidiary of the Volkswagen automobile company in Germany. Formed in April 1955 in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey to standardize dealership service in the United States, it grew to 909 Volkswagen dealers in the United States by 1965 under the leadership of Dr. Carl Hahn. Under him and his successor as president of Volkswagen of America, J. Stuart Perkins, VW's U.S. sales grew to 569,696 cars in 1970, an all-time peak, when Volkswagen captured 7 percent of the U.S. car market and had over a thousand U.S. dealerships. The Volkswagen Beetle was the company's best seller in the United States by a wide margin.…

    b) Effects and Consequences. A research conducted showed mixed reviews and opinions about the car. The target market encompassed Volkswagen's core audience of 18 - 34 years olds and baby boomers. Buyer's characteristics were identified as confident, individualistic, and a desire to be the center of attention. In addition, Volkswagen felt it could leverage the nostalgia surrounding the car. However, appealing to young adventurous individuals and nostalgic baby boomers seems to be contradictory. If the company is not able to target the market appropriately, the brand will be inconsistent, misleading customers. Volkswagen is aiming to make its brand relevant. To achieve this, they have to align with market conditions and trends. An improper segmentation would result in an inadequate association of characteristics of the car, with the target market destroying brand equity. In addition, the company has to decide the media required to publicize the car. Utilizing TV campaigns they will certainly reach a broader customer base. Utilizing print advertising they will reach more specific and demographic segmented customers. The issue is to adequately balance the media channels to be used to target the right market. On the other hand, price will be one of the most important variables that will determine segmentation used. If the company overprices the New Beetle, the young segment of customers associated with the car would be discarded because they would not afford it, but if they underprice it, uniqueness characteristics would be deteriorated, and…

    Volkswagen was able to build up their market by taking some effective policies. By 2001, it had achieved a market share of over 50% as a result of introducing hot models and assuring reliable service. By developing supplier quantity component and training the Work Force efficiently was another big reason of their success. Attempts by the U.S. AMC Jeep Corporation and other car makers failed. While other companies were attracted by the potential swift, huge returns because of the large Chinese population of 1.2 billion people (certainly only a very small percentage would be customers), Volkswagen built the venture gradually over the years by sharing their technology with the Chinese. The most important fact is their low rate prices of cars. They were able to keep their product’s price lower comparing other automobile companies. This idea of lowering the rates of products and services took their company on step ahead towards success and glory. They also maintained a good relation with the host countries Govt. which helped them to promote their company over the country. Building good relationship with both supplier and with the community they became very much trustworthy among the companies.…

    Their competitors would be automakers that are in the "non-luxury" category. From a marketing viewpoint, Volkswagen is not literally considered a "luxury" brand. Their competitors would not be any "luxury" brands such as Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes, Porsche, Saab and Volvo. Volkswagen no longer carries at least one "luxury" vehicle in their product line. They discontinued the "Phaeton." I recall doing a research paper for a marketing class not too long ago regarding U.S. market…

    During the current investigation, most of them stated that they got to work under time pressure within a ‘climate of fear’. Indeed, they had to deliver clean diesel motors which were also able to respect standards on fuel economy and low emission of gaz. Such standards were very difficult to reach. Indeed, Volkswagen prioritized the development of Diesel vehicles, highly popular in Europe, instead of electric cars. Thus, to reach the American market, traditionally diesel-averse, VW engineers got to deliver a clean diesel to respect U.S. regulations. Due to the eternal belief of executives into innovation to solve any problem, such a situation involved huge costs in terms of R&D. Thus, it is possible to assume that the defeat device permitted to launch new models like Jetta TDI in 2009 and Golf TDI in 2010 with great success and without the implication of such high R&D…
