Marketing strategies of Tata motors What makes the marketing strategy so successful?
1. Product, Branding, and Advertising
Every business started from 0, from no one knows it until everyone know it. Advertising is one of the most common ways to make car buyer or car enthusiast aware of the new car with special promotion price. Another more important way of advertising is to create an image or brand image. Take BMW Z3 for example, it was introduced in 1996 and shortly the car has been used in the famous James Bond movie. This is similar to Nissan 350
Fairlady Z in the recent 2007 Fast and the Furious 3 – Tokyo Drift. Over the years Tata
Motors have been successful in creating their brand image especially they use some famous stars as their spokesman.
Other important marketing strategies are such as the packaging, innovations, and quality control. Tata Motors provide many innovative features to attract car lover. One of these innovations is the Tata Safari 4X4Dicor that has “Reverse Guide System”. A weather- proof camera is fixed to the rear car to help the driver while reversing the car
2. Pricing Strategy
There are various factors to determine a price of a car. These factors are such as market condition (it can’t be too low or too high with the prices of same vehicle from competitors, it has to be at par), cost incurred to build a car, profit by company, dealer profit. Giving discount every month and special promotion for certain type of vehicle also one of the strong strategy use by Tata Motors.
