Samsung: New Product Marketing Launch, Part III
Executive Summary and Introduction
Samsung, The South Korean based electronics company, is introducing a new line of High Definition televisions, the Smart TV line of LED, Plasma and 3D with Smart TV technology. Prior marketing plans for the Smart TV have identified the market needs and potential market growth, the target markets and segmentation, the benefits of the Smart TV over competitors’ products, and how Samsung can position itself at the head of the new interactive television landscape. The following recommendations were made to assist Samsung in becoming the Smart TV leader. These recommendations are:
1. Market Needs - With televisions being in the norm, consumers want and also have flat screens, high definition, and internet capabilities on their TVs (Stein, 2014).
2. Market Growth - In 2014 the shipments of Smart TVs has risen from the 84 million in 2012 to 123 million (DeMers, 2013).
3. Competition – the main competition are Sony and LG. Sony will offer the biggest competitive challenge in the international market, especially in its main market of Japan.
4. Product Differentiation - Samsung now offers several televisions in their product offering mix which include the Smart TV feature which are: UHD 4K TV providing 4X the details of Full High Definition, Plasma TV providing incredible contrast and clarity, OLED TV providing True-to-life color and picture quality, and lastly LED TV providing superior color, brightness, and slimness, (Samsung Electronics America, 2014).
5. Target Market – Early Adopters/Innovators, upper middle class to high income male, with an education. Early adopters are looking for products that will have a lasting value beyond the initial marketed value – for a Smart TV they may

    Vizio Strategy

    Threat of Substitutes – substitutes are generally low as at the time the case was written the “computer as TV” trend was in a nascent stage and broadband internet was not as cheap or ubiquitous as it is today. As well, it can be argued that the living room or prime TV purchase isn’t going away in the near to medium term at least. This model can also be viewed as compatible with LCDs as computers can be connected to the TVs with greater ease with each passing year. Non-LCD or ordinary TVs can be thought of as substitutes though the rapid price reduction in LCDs probably offsets the threat of this TV product segment being an enduring threat.…

    Tivo Case

    TiVo has created the right brand image as a friendly and fun brand. This image is supported by the logo which also includes the picture of a TV. This “cute” brand image gives the technology behind a gracious face. The first-mover advantage in a new market brought high (media-) awareness in the beginning. The partnerships with Sony, Philips and major electronic chains provided them an outstanding reliable and qualitative image. The consumer-focused attitude (“Bring control to customers”, data is inaccessible ) contributed to a positive brand recognition. That customers who purchased TiVo stayed loyal and were satisfied also confirmed TiVo as a strong brand. The loyalty did not come from the fact that there was no substitute product, but because they liked the way how TiVo integrates in their daily life.…

    Mobile Tv in India

    Amongst the many value added services, Mobile Television is unique because it combines two screens on a single device – television & mobile. The penetration rate of mobile TV is currently very low. While technology in terms of suitability of mobile device has limited its spread to a certain extent, the problem looks set to be resolved within the next 36 months as mobile manufacturers are poised to provide sufficiently technologically advanced phones - thereby eliminating the challenge posed by the incompatibility of the mobile device. A more fundamental problem lies in the consumer choosing to view television on a mobile – the rigidity in not doing so poses the biggest challenge to future growth of the market.…
