Introduction
Marketing strategy of a company in a new country plays a vital role in determining its future in that country. SYMPHONY, a Chinese origin mobile phone which entered Bangladesh market in the year 2008 focused to capture the market with its low pricing; exclusive features and designs challenging the renowned existing brands that took hold of a large market share during that period. SYMPHONY adapted to the Bangladeshi conditions and with its wide range of promotional campaigns became successful to target mostly the low-end users who preferred more features at low prices rather than having known brands which sold for double the prices of Chinese origin sets but had less features. SYMPHONY developed an extensive distribution network to reach out to mass people all across the country. To discuss the branding strategies of SYMPHONY, we consider the simple concept of 4P’s namely product (customization), price, place (distribution) and production.
