Marketing can be defined as the process by which companies create value for
customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customer in
return. A recent survey of top marketers showed that they all share common goal which is
putting the consumer at the heart of marketing. To achieve the goal, each company must have
their own marketing strategies then they must plan the detail of marketing mix. The
marketing mix is the set of controllable tactical marketing tools that consists of product,
price, place and promotion that the firm blends to produce the response it wants in the target
market. First, is product which means the goods and services combination of the company
offers to the target market. Product can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use
or consumption that might satisfy a want or need.
Second, is price that can be defined narrowly as the amount of money charged for a
product or services. The pricing challenge is to find the price that will let the company make
a fair profit by getting paid for the customer value it creates. Third, is place that includes
company activities that make the product available to target customer. It is very important
because customers want the product and service to be as conveniently available as possible.
So, companies must taking care about their channels, coverage, locations, inventory,
transportation and logistics.
Fourth, is promotion mean by the activities that communicate the merits of the
product and persuade target customers to buy it. Under the concept of integrated marketing
communications, the company must carefully coordinate these promotion elements to deliver
a clear, consistent and compelling message about the organization and its brands. In this
assignment, every group was given a task to choose any product and to explain clearly about
the marketing strategies and marketing mix for the product that we choose. So, our group has
made a decision to choose one of the products from the famous automobile company which is
Getz from Hyundai Motor Company.
Hyundai Motor Company is growing into a brand appreciated by its customers
because it is continuously striving to achieve the single goal of making good quality products
with an emphasis on the customer first principle across all management levels, including
production, sales and service. Our group will be looking into it deeply based on the product
that we choose which Getz.

BACKGROUND OF COMPANY
3

Hyundai Motor Company is a Korean automaker which along with Kia comprises the
Hyundai Kia Automotive Group, the worlds fifth largest automaker as of 2009. As of 2009, it
is the world's fastest growing automaker. In 2008, Hyundai (without Kia) ranked as the eighth
largest automaker. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai operates the worlds
largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility in Ulsan, which is capable of producing
1.6 million units annually. The company employs about 75,000 persons around the world.
Hyundai vehicles are sold in 193 countries through some 6,000 dealerships and showrooms
worldwide.
The Hyundai logo, a slanted, stylized H, symbolizes the company shaking hands with its
customer. The company of Hyundai is very much popular in the North America. The entire
vehicles manufactured by the company are very much related to his country. When it comes
to the history of the company, then the Hyundai was first introduced in 1986 in the market.
The company was known to be excelled and since that time the company had shown the
drastic change in the globe.
Another interesting fact is that the company is known much more than the production of
the cars. In fact, it has been estimated that the company is going to be the largest companies
of the world of the end of the last century. Since the company had launched in the market,
there are many changes that had been made in the engines and the models of the car. The
engine is manufactured at the power of Hyundai which is of 1.6 liter and is believed to
provide the scintillating performance. Besides this, the performance of the car gets more
responsive when its on the road. The main reason is that the car is having the 4-speed
automatic transmission which is proving to be the master of all trade.
The 1980s were to prove equally eventful for Hyundai Motor Company. After the oil
shock of 1979, the government took steps to protect the industry, which had by then made
large investments in plants and equipment. It kept a tight grip on the development of this
sector and in 1981 divided the market, restricting Hyundai to car and large commercial
vehicle manufacture. These regulations were revised in 1986 following the recovery of the
market, and Hyundai was able to resume manufacture of light commercial vehicles.
By the middle of the decade, Hyundai had taken Canada by storm. Its Pony
subcompact vehicles became Canadas top-selling car less than two years after entering the
market. In the company announced plans to build a car assembly plant and at the same time
4

decided to enter the U.S market. Hyundai decided to move up with the introduction of
Sonata, a four-door sedan, in late 1988; initial sales, though, proved disappointing. A year
later, this car was being manufactured at the Bromont plant, following the opening of the
factory in 1989.
The group became intent on reducing its dependence on the U.S markets. By 1990, the
domestic market was proving increasingly important to the essentially export-oriented group.
Both the car and construction were enjoying strong demand at the end of the decade. This
situation helped Hyundai Engineering & Construction, like the vehicle operations, to take up
the slack created by declining markets abroad, particularly in the Middle East.
Hyundai Motor & Co., on the other hand, was prospering as Koreas largest car
maker. The auto concern officially separated from the Hyundai Group in September 2000,
signaling the start of sweeping changes that led to the eventual dismantling of what was once
South Koreas largest conglomerate. In August 2001, nine core Hyundai companies,
including Hyundai Engineering& Construction and hynix Semiconductor Inc. (formerly
known as Hyundai Electronics Industries). The separation cut Hyundai Groups assets to just
$20.8 billion and left it in control of 18 member companies. Hyundai continue to be pared
down the following year.

PRODUCT: HYUNDAI GETZ

What is a product?

Product is anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use or
consumption that might satisfy a want or need. Our groups choose a Hyundai Getz as our
product. Getz is a car produced by Hyundai and the structure has to be as light as possible for
good fuel economy, but as strong as possible for durability and safety. It is no surprise that
GETZ qualifies for four-star rating in independent crash test carried out by the Euro-NCAP
organization. It shows that Getz has a good quality of production.
Level of product and services
The most basic level is the core customer value. The consumer will found out what is
the buyer really buying? When designing a product, marketers must first define the core,
problem-solving benefits of the product or services that consumers seek. For example, when
customer buying Hyundai Getz, they are not only buying the car, but they also buying an
affordability and comfortable of using this car.
At the second level, product planners must turn the customer value into an actual
product. The producers need to develop product and services features, design, a quality level,
a brand name and packaging. For example, Hyundai will develop more their product based on
customer needs. Its name, brands, design, features and packaging have been combined
carefully to deliver the core benefit of staying connected.
Finally, product planners must build an augmented product by giving additional
services and benefits to the customers provided by the manufacturer which come along with
the product. The additional services that can attract customers to purchase the product such as
finance schemes, after-sales services, warranties and delivery. For example, when customer
buys the Hyundai Getz, they will get quick repair services when needed.
Product and Service Classifications
Product and services categorized into two broad classes based on the types of consumer
who use them, consumer products and industrial product. Consumer products are product
and services bought by final consumers that can satisfy their needs. There are several types of
consumer products such as shopping products, specialty products, convenience products and
unsought products. Hyundai Getz is under the specialty products because it is for the
consumers who willing to make a special purchase effort. Buyers usually do not compare
specialty products. They invest only the time needed to reach dealers carrying the wanted
products.
6

Besides is industrial product. It is product purchased by the individuals and

organizations for further processing or for the use in conducting a business. There are three
groups of industrial products and services include materials and parts, capital items and
supplies and services. The material and parts is basic product that will be transformed entirely
into something else. For example, Hyundai buy steel, cotton, iron and etc to produce car.
Another group is capital items which are industrial products that lead in the buyers
production or operations including installations and accessory equipment. Installation
consists of major purchases such as buildings and fixed equipment. While, accessory
equipment includes portable factory equipment and tool (hand tools, lift trucks) and office
equipment (computer, fax machines, desks). Hyundai needs all these equipment for their
production process.
Lastly, the final group of industrial products is supplies and services. It is intangible
product used by firms. It is also does not enter the finished product at all which they are items
that help the operation. Business services include maintenance and repairs services, and
business advisory services.
Product and Service Decision
a)Individual Product and Service Decision
i)

Product and Service Attributes

Product quality. Product quality is one of the marketers major positioning tools.
It is about the characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability stated
or implied customer need. Similarly, Hyundai defines quality this way we will
ceaselessly introduce world-class products of the best quality to overcome the
difficult market environment and turn it into an opportunity, while modestly
listening to the voice of customer.
Product features. A product can be varying in features. Features are a competitive
tool for differentiating the companys product from competitors products.
Hyundai Company produces a car which is environment friendly.
Product style and design. This is another way to attract customer for purchase our
product. Design is the larger concept than style. Style simply describes the
appearance of a product. Unlike style, design goes to the very heart of the product.
After made research, Hyundai make design based on what customer respond on
their want and needs. Thus, product designer should think less about product
attributes and technical specifications and more about how customer will use and
benefit from the product.
7

ii)

Branding
Brand is a name, term, sign, symbol, design or a combination of these that
identifies the products or services of one seller or group of sellers and
differentiates them from those of competitors. Consumers view a brand as an
important part of a product and branding can add value to a product. With
branding also, it can attract customer to buy the product. Just like Hyundai Getz,
the car has designed as per the contemporary requirement of the consumers. Not
only the interiors are so roomy and luxury but also the exteriors are too impressive
and elegant.

iii)

Product support services

This is the services given after the customer has purchased the product. A
companys usually includes some support services, which can be minor or a major
part of the total offering. For example, warranty, after-sale services, product
delivery and etc. Hyundai provide 4 services; first services where customers can
get free services on the first 1000 km. Second service is free services on the 5000
km. The third service, customer can get 5 years warranty or get free services on
30,000km but this service is for the first customers. And lastly, the customer
services call the customers every 2 month to know about the customers
satisfaction about the Hyundai Getz.

b) Product Line Decisions

Product line is a group of products that are closely related because they function in
a similar manner, are sold to the same customer groups, are marketed through the same types
of outlets, or fall within given price ranges. For example, Hyundai produce several types of
car such as Getz, Sonata, Tucson, Santa Fe, Starex and etc.

c) Product Mix Decision

Product mix is the set of all product lines and items that a particular seller offers for
sale. Some companies manage very complex product portfolios. Hyundai Getz cars come in
four exclusive model variants. These model variants are GLE, GVS, GLS and GLX.
Product Life Cycle Strategies

Product life cycle (PLC) is the course of a products sales and profits over its lifetime. It
involves five distinct stages that is product development, introduction, growth, maturity and
decline.
a) Product development begins when the Hyundai Company wants to finds and
develops a new-product idea. During this product development, sales are zero because
the Hyundai Getz is still in process and the companys investment costs mount.
b) Introduction is a period of slow sales growth as Hyundai Getz introduced in the
market. Profits are nonexistent in this stage because of the heavy expenses of product
introduction.
c) Growth is a period of rapid market acceptances and increasing profits. During this
stage, Hyundai Getz is accepted by the market and customers buy it because it is
suitable for family-friendly compact car.
d) Maturity is a period of slowdown in sales growth because the Hyundai Getz has
achieved acceptance by most potential buyers. Profits level off or decline because of
increased marketing outlays to defend the product from other competitors.
e) Decline is the period when sales drop down and profits drop. This happen because
there is another product which is more attractive than before and consumer tend to
buy a new product.

PRICE
9

Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service. In other words, price is the
sum of all values that customers give up in order to gain the benefits of having or using a
product. Price is the only elements in the marketing mix that produce revenue while all other
elements represent costs. Price is also one of the most flexible marketing mix elements.

Factors To Consider When Setting Prices

i)

Customer Perceptions of Value

Pricing decisions, like other marketing mix decisions must start with the customer

value. When customer buy a product, they exchange something of the value in other to get
something of value. Effective, customer-oriented pricing involves understanding how much
value consumers place on the benefits they receive from the product and setting a price that
captures this value. In this case, Hyundai Motor company use the value-based pricing which
means they setting price based on the buyers perceptions of value rather than on the seller
cost. The company first assesses customer needs and value perceptions. The targeted value
and price from customer will drive decisions about what costs can be incurred and resulting
the product design. For example, some car buyers consider the Hyundai Getz SE Limited
Edition 2009

a real value, even at an eye-popping price of RM63,888.First type of value-

based pricing is the good-value pricing. In this type of pricing strategies the Hyundai Motor
company offering just the right combination of quality and good service at the fair price. In
other cases, good-value pricing has involved redesigning existing brands to offer more
quality for a given price or the same quality for less. To meet the tougher economics times
and more frugal consumer spending habits the Getz car was recently updated in the Indian
market as the company launched the new Hyundai Getz Prime. The new car has been priced
at around Rs. 3.89 lakh. The second type of value-based pricing is the value-added pricing.
To increase the pricing power the Hyundai Motor company attach value-added features to
differentiate their offers and thus support higher price than cutting prices to match the
competitors. For example, In late-2008, a fully electric version of the car was introduced in
New Zealand and Australia. The price of this new version of car is higher than the old one.

ii) Other Internal and External Considerations Affecting Price Decisions

10

Other internal factors that influence pricing decisions include the Hyundai Company
overall strategy, objectives, mix, and organization for pricing. Price is only one element of the
companys broader marketing strategy. If the company is selected its target market and
positioning carefully, then its marketing mix strategy, including price, will be fairly
straightforward. Some companies position their product on prices and then tailor other
marketing mix decisions to the prices they want to charge. Other companies deemphasize
price and use other marketing mix tools to create non-price positions. For example, when
Hyundai develop its Getz brand to compete with Perodua Myvi, this required charging a high
price.
Next factor is organizational considerations. Management must decide who within
the company should set the prices. Each companies handle pricing in a variety of ways. For
example, Hyundai company is a large companies, the pricing is typically handled by
divisional or product line managers. While top management sets the pricing objectives and
policies, and it often approves the prices proposed by lower-level management or
salespeople. Others who have an influence on pricing include sales managers, production
managers, finance managers and accounts.
Another factor is market and demand which include pricing in different types of
markets. The sellers pricing freedom varies with different types of markets. Hyundai
company fall under oligopolistic competition, which the market consists of a few sellers who
are highly sensitive to the others pricing and marketing strategies. Hyundai company is
compete with other car company such as Proton, Perodua, Honda and etc. If a Perodua
company slashes its prices by 15percent, buyers will quickly change to this company and
Hyundai must respond by lowering their prices or increasing their services.
Lastly, the external factors include economic conditions, the government and social
concerns. Economic can have a strong impact on the firms pricing strategies. Economic
factors such as boom or recession, inflation, and interest rates affect pricing decisions because
they affect both consumer perceptions of the products price and value and the cost of
producing a product. It means that, if the economic is unstable, it will affect Hyundai
Company sale.

Product Mix Pricing Strategies

The strategy for setting a products price often has to be changed when the product is part of
product mix. In this case, the company will looks for a set of prices that maximizes the profits
on the total product mix. In the mix pricing strategies, the Hyundai Motor Company using the
product line pricing. This type of pricing always has been use in all automobile company
because they usually develop product line rather than single product. In the product line
pricing, management must decide on the price steps to set between the various products in a
line. The price steps should take into account cost differences between the products in the
line..For example, the Getz car has four different type which are Manual-solid, Auto-solid,
Manual-metallic and Auto-metallic. Each of this car have a different price because the
company should account for differences in customer perceptions of the value of different
features. Second, the Hyundai Motor Company also uses the optional-product pricing for the
Getz car. It is the pricing of optional or accessory products along with their main product. In
this type of pricing the Hyundai Motor Company must decide which items to include in the
base price and which offer as options. For example, the Getz car price is increase when the
car is included with the accessories packages such as first aid kit, number plate base, single
air bag, burglar alarm and rear spoiler. Thus, the most advertised prices represent wellequipped cars.
Price-Adjustment Strategies
Companies usually adjust their basic prices to account for various customer
differences and changing situations. Our group had examined a several price adjustment
strategies that use by the Hyundai Motor Company for Getz car. First is segmented pricing
which the company will sell their product at two or more prices, where the difference in
prices is not based on the differences in costs. In this type of pricing, Hyundai Motor
company use product-form pricing which the different versions of the Getz car are priced
differently but not according to differences in their costs. For example, Hyundai Getz SE
Limited Edition 2009, Hyundai Getz 1.4 DOHC SE NEW 09, Hyundai Getz 1.3 Auto and
Hyundai Getz 1.4 manual have a different prices according to their version. Second is the
promotional pricing which can be an effective means of generating sales for most companies.
Same as other company Hyundai Motor Company also adjusted their product price below the
list price to create buying excitement and urgency. In this type of pricing, this company uses
the special-event pricing in certain seasons to draw more customers. For example, Hyundai
12

Motor Company reduced the price of Hyundai Getz SE (A) LIMITED EDITION 2009 for the
World Cup FIFA Promo in May 2010.Third is the international pricing where the company
will setting prices for customers located in different parts of the country or world. For the
Hyundai Motor Company that market their product internationally, the company must decide
what price to charge in the different countries in which they operate. The price that the
company should charge in a specific country depends on many factors including economic
conditions, competitive situations, laws and regulations and development of the wholesaling
and retailing system. For example, the price of Hyundai Getz Prime 1.3 GVS are different in
Malaysia, India, Japan and South Korea.

13

PROMOTION
The Promotion Mix
Advertising-is any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or
services by an identified sponsor. Advertising includes broadcast, print, internet, outdoor, and
other form.

Hyundai

Motor Company makes the advertising by internet, newspapers,

display at suitable place, for example, international airport.

Sales promotion-is short term incentive to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or
services .For the sales promotion of GETZ from HYUNDAI, it includes HYUNDAI GETZ
REMOTE CONTROL. It has high quality and attractive price.
Public relation-is building good relation with the companys various public by obtaining
favorable publicity, building up a good corporate image and handling or heading off
unfavorable rumors, stories, and events . For HYUNDAI company , they do the public
relation likes, ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM with the aim of providing emergency
assistance services round the clock to ensure a pleasurable and uninterrupted journey virtually
anywhere. The program is designed to enhance the customer ownership experience and
ensure that customer get immediate and hassle free service in the event of any car breakdown.
A View Of The Communication Process
To communicate effectively, marketers need to understand how communication works.
Communication involves nine elements:
1. Sender: the party sending the message to another party.

The sender here is

HYUNDAI COMPANY.
2. Encoding: the process of putting thought into symbolic form. HYUNDAI COMPANY
advertising agency assembles words and illustration into an advertisement that will
convey the intended message.
3. Message: the set of symbols that the HYUNDAI COMPANY transmits.
4. Media: the communication channel through which the message moves from sender to
receiver. In this case HYUNDAI COMPANY selected the newspaper.
5. Decoding: the process by which the receiver assigns meaning to the symbol encoded
by the sender. That is a consumer read the HYUNDAI COMPANY copier ad and
interprets the words and illustration it contains.

14

6. Receiver: The party receiving the message sent by another party. That is the business
customer who read the HYUNDAI COMPANY copier ads.
7. Response: the reaction of the receiver after being exposed to the messages . Any
hundreds of possible responses, such as the consumer is more aware of the attributes
of HYUNDAI COMPANY copiers, visits the HYUNDAI COMPANY WEB SITE for
more information, actually buys an HYUNDAI COMPANY copier or does nothing.
8. Feedback: the part of receiver response communicated back to the sender. The
HYUNDAI COMPANY shows that consumer are struck by and remember the ad, or
consumers write or call HYUNDAI COMPANY praising or critizing the HYUNDAI
company product.
9. Noise: the unplanned static or distortion during the communication process, which
result in the receivers getting a different message than the sender one. That is the
consumer is distracted while reading the magazine and misses the HYUNDAI
COMPANY product.
For the message to be effective, the HYUNDAI COMPANY s encoding process must mesh
with the receivers decoding process. The messages consist of words and other symbol that
are familiar to the receiver. The more the HYUNDAI COMPANYs field of experiences
overlaps with that of the receiver, the message is likely to be. Marketing communicator may
not always share their consumers field experiences .
Steps In Developing Effective Communication
1. Identify the target audiences
The target audiences of HYUNDAI COMPANY will heavily affect communicators
decisions on what will be said , how it will be said, where it will be said, and who will
said it.

2. Determining the communication objective

Awareness- When HYUNDAI COMPANY first introduce its 500 cars model,
it used GETZ to create initial awareness and curiosity. The company shows the
car, but not its name.

15

Knowledge later, the HYUNDAI COMPANY create knowledge by informing

potential buyers of the GETZs high quality and its many innovative features.
Liking-assuming the consumer know about this product, how do you feel
about it? Once potential buyers knew about GETZ, HYUNDAI COMPANY
wanted to move them through successively stronger stages of feeling toward

the car.
Conviction- HYUNDAI COMPANY use a combination of the promotion mix
tools to create positive feelings and conviction for example, advertising,

dealer tells buyers about option, value for the price, and after sale service.
Purchase- HYUNDAI COMPANY must lead the customer to take the final
step. Actions might include offering special promotional price, rebate or
premium. Sales people might call or write to selected customer , inviting them
tom visit the dealership for a special showing.

3. Designing a message
Message content-consist of three types of appeal. First, rational appeal that is
relate to the audiences self-interest. HYUNDAI COMPANY informs
customer about the quality of GETZ and why GETZ is the best choice. Second
emotional appeal, that is try to stir up either negative or positive emotion that
can motivate purchase. HYUNDAI COMPANY advocates for humorous
message claim that they attract more attention and create more liking and
belief in the sponsor. Third is moral appeal, that is directed to the customers
sense of what is right and proper. For example HYUNDAI COMPANY do

the headline.
Message structure-HYUNDAI COMPANY must also decide how to handle
three z or leave it to the audience. It is better if NYUNDAI COMPANY asking
questions and letting buyers come to their own conclusion. The second is
whether to present the strongest arguments first or last. Presenting them first
get strong attention but may lead to an anticlimactic ending. The third is
whether to present one sided argument or two sided argument. That is
HYUNDAI COMPANY only mention about the GETZ strength or touting the

GETZ strength while also admitting its shortcomings.

Message format-The communicator has to decide on the headline, copy,
illustration and color. If the message is carried out over the radio, the
communicator has to choose words, sounds, and voice. HYUNDAI

16

COMPANY carried the message through newspapers, and it has to watch

color, size, and expressions.
4. Choosing media
HYUNDAI COMPANY selects both of the channels of communication.

Personal communication channel : HYUNDAI COMPANY communicates

face to face, on the phone, through mail or e-mail. This channel is effective
because it allow for personal addressing and feedback. This personal
communication is directly controlled by the HYUNDAI COMPANY. For

example customer service contacts the buyers.

Non-personal communication : They include major media, atmospheres, and
events. Non-personal communication affects buyer directly. Communication
first flow from television, magazine, and other mass media to opinion leaders
and then these from opinion leader to others. Thus, opinion leader steps
between the mass media and their audience and carry message to people who
are less exposed to media. This suggests that mass communicators should aim
their message directly at opinion leader, letting them carry the message to
other.

5. Selecting the message sources

The messages impact on the target audience is also affected by how the audience
views the communicator. Message delivered by highly credible sources are more
persuasive. Thus, but, the company must be careful when selecting celebrities to
represent their brands. Picking the wrong spokesperson can result embarrassment and
a tarnished image.
6. Collecting feedback
After sending the message, the communicator must research its effect on the target
audience. This involve asking the target audience members whether they remember
the message, how many times they saw it, what point they recall, how they feel about
the message, and their past and present attitudes toward the product and the company.
The communicator would also like to measure behavior resulting from the message.
Feedback on marketing communication may suggest changes in the promotion
program or in the product offer itself. HYUNDAI COMPANY uses Newspaper and
17

television advertising to inform area consumer about the products. The feedback from
customer is very important to company suggest although promotion is creating
awareness. If not, the company needs to improve its promotion programs to take of its
power to create customer satisfaction.

Setting The Total Promotion Budget

How does HYUNDAI COMPANY decide on its promotion budget? . This company uses the
objective-and-task method:
Objective- task- method
HYUNDAI COMPANY sets its promotion budget based on what it wants to accomplish with
promotion. This budgeting method entails (1) defining specific promotion objective, (2)
determining the task needed to achieve these objective, and (3) estimating the cost is the
proposed promotion budget. The advantage of the objective-and-task method is that it forces
management to spell out its assumptions about the relationship between dollars spent and the
promotion result. But it is also the most difficult method to use. Often, it is hard to figure out
which specific task will achieve stated objective. For example, HYUNDAI COMPANY
wants 98 percent awareness for its car model during this six-month introductory period. What
specific advertising message and media schedule cost? HYUNDAI COMPANY management
must consider such question, even though they are hard to answer.

Shaping The Overall Promotion Mix

The Nature of Each Promotion Tool
Advertising-can reach masses of geographically dispersed buyers at a low cost per exposure,
and it enable the HYUNDAI COMPANY to repeat a message many times. For this company,
TV is the place to reach a mass audience. It is because consumers tend to view advertised
through the artful use of visual, print, sound, and color. Advertising can trigger quick sales to
company. But, advertising also has some shortcomings; it cannot be as directly persuasive as
18

can company salespeople. It also can carry on only a one-way-communication with the
audience, and the audience does not feel that it has to pay attention or respond. It can be very
costly.
Sales promotion-includes a wide assortment of tools like coupons, and premiums. They
attract consumer attention, offer strong incentive to purchase. It also invited and reward quick
response to HYUNDAI COMPANY.
Public relation-It is very believable. It can reach many prospects who avoid salespeople and
advertisement. Yet a wee-though-out public relation campaign used with other promotion mix
elements can be very effective and economical.
Promotion Mix Strategies.
HYUNDAI COMPANY has choose pull promotion. Using a pull strategy, HYUNDAI
COMPANY directs its marketing activities toward final consumers to induce them to buy the
product. The pull strategy is effective, consumers will then demand the product from channel
members, who will in turn demand it from company.

PLACE
We now arrive at the third marketing mix tool place. Firms rarely work alone in creating
value for customers and building profitable customer relationships. Instead, most are only a
single link in a larger supply chain and marketing channel. As such, an individual firms
success depends not only how well it performs but also on how well its entire marketing
channel competes with competitors channels. Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors Sdn Bhd
19

(formerly known as Hyundai-Berjaya Sdn Bhd) is the franchise holder of Hyundai vehicles
and the sole distributor of Hyundai completely-built-up (CBU) vehicles, as well as the three
models manufactured in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company by INOKOM
Corporation Sdn Bhd which is based in Kulim, Kedah. Currently, the impressive network of
sales, parts and service dealers has contributed to the increasing confidence by Malaysian
motorists on INOKOM and imported Hyundai vehicles. There are 16 3S (sales, service and
spare parts) dealers, 82 authorised service dealers and 18 parts stockists in addition to the
three own 3S centres located throughout the country.
Supply Chains and the Value Delivery Network
Producing a product or service and making it available to buyers requires building
relationships not just with customers, but also with key suppliers and resellers in the
companys supply chain. This supply chain consists of upstream and downstream partners.
Upstream from the company is the set of firms that supply the raw materials, components,
parts, information, finances and expertise needed to create a product or service. Meanwhile
downstream refer to marketing channel partners, such as wholesalers and retailers, form a
vital connection between the firm and its customers.
A value delivery network is made up of the company, suppliers, distributors and ultimately
customers who partner with each other to improve the performance of the entire system. Like
Hyundai, in making and marketing its Getz to make it known all around the world.
Channel Behaviour and Organization
Distribution channels are complex behavioural systems in which people and companies
interact to accomplish individual, company and channel goals. A marketing channel consists
of firms that have partnered for their common good. Each channel member depends on the
others. A Hyundai dealer depends on Hyundai to design cars that meet consumer needs. In
turn Hyundai depends on the dealer to attract consumers, persuade them to buy Hyundai cars,
and the services after the sale. Each Hyundai dealer also depends on other dealer to provide
good sales and service that will uphold the brands reputation. In fact, the success of
individual Hyundai dealers depends on how well the entire Hyundai marketing channel
competes with the channels of other auto manufacturers.

20

To meet the consumer need and want, Hyundai has adopted multichannel distribution
systems, in which a single sets up two or more marketing channels to reach one or more
customer segments. Hyundai sells directly to consumer using direct-mail catalogs,
telemarketing and the internet and reaches consumer through retailers.
Channel Design Decisions
In designing marketing channels, producers struggle between what is ideal and what is
practical. For maximum effectiveness, channel analysis and decision making should be more
purposeful.
1. Analyzing Consumer Needs
Designing the marketing channel starts with finding out what target consumers want
from the channel. Hyundai provided the nearby locations that easy for consumers to
look their cars. Besides they provided all type of communication to consumer know
about the latest promotions, like mail, internet, catalogs and others. The company
must balance consumer needs not only against the feasibility and costs of meeting
these needs but also against customer price preferences. The success of discount
retailing shows that consumers will often accept lower services levels in exchange for
lower prices.
2. Setting Channel Objectives
Hyundai stated their marketing channel objectives in terms of targeted levels of
customer service. Usually, a company can identify several segments wanting different
levels of service. The company should decide which segments to serve and the best
channels to use each case. In each segment, the company wants to minimize the total
channel cost of meeting customer service requirements.
The companys channel objectives are also influenced by the nature of the company,
its product, its marketing intermediaries, its competitors and the environment. For
example Hyundais size and financial situation determine marketing functions it can
handle itself and which it must give to intermediaries. Finally, environmental factors
such as economic conditions and legal constrains may affect channel objective and
design. Hyundai make some promotion in a depressed economy to distribute their
goods in the most economical way.
3. Identifying Major Alternatives
Types of Intermediaries
21

Hyundai has identified the type of channel members available to carry out its
channel work. They use the industrial distributors, which find the distributors
in the different region who will buy and carry the new line. Hyundai give them
exclusive distribution, good margins, product training and promotional

support.
Number of Marketing Intermediaries
Hyundai use selective distribution strategies, which occurs when producers
use more than one, but fewer than all, of the intermediaries who are willing to
carry their products. By using selective distribution, they can develop good
working relationships with selected channel members and expect a better than

average selling effort.

Responsibilities of Channel Members
Hyundai and its intermediaries have some agree on the terms and the
responsibilities of each channel member. They should agree on price policies,
condition of sale, territorial rights and specific service to be performed by each
party. Hyundai should establish a list price and a fair set of discounts for
intermediaries. Mutual services and duties need to be spelled out carefully.

4. Evaluating the Major Alternatives

Each alternative should be evaluated against economic, control and adaptive criteria.
Using economic criteria, Hyundai compares the likely sales, costs and profitability of
different channel alternatives. Hyundai must also consider control issues. Using
intermediaries usually means giving them some control over the marketing of the
product and some intermediaries take more control than others. Finally, Hyundai must
apply adaptive criteria. Channels often involve long-term commitments, yet Hyundai
wants to keep the channel flexible so that it can adapt to environmental changes.
Thus, a channel involving long-term commitments should be greatly superior on
economic and control grounds.
5. Designing International Distribution Channels
Hyundai face many additional complexities in designing their channels. Each country
has its own unique distribution system that has evolved over time and changes very
slowly. In some markets, the distribution system is complex and hard to penetrate,
consisting of many layers and large numbers of intermediaries. In other market,
distribution systems in developing country may be scattered and inefficient.
Sometimes customs or government regulation can greatly restrict how Hyundai can
distribute products in global markets.
22

Channel Management Decisions

1. Select Channel Members
When selecting intermediaries, Hyundai determine what characteristics distinguish
the better one. It will want to evaluate each channel members years in business, other
lines carried, growth and profit record, cooperativeness and reputation. If the
intermediaries are sales agents, Hyundai will want to evaluate the number of cars that
they can sell.
2. Managing and Motivating Channel Members
Once selected, channel members must be continuously managed and motivated to do
their best. In managing its channels, Hyundai convince distributors that they can
succeed better by working together as a part of cohesive value delivery system.
Hyundai will give free promotion to help the distributors like roadshow,
advertisement and etc.
3. Evaluating Channel Members
Hyundai do regularly check channel member performance against standards such as
sales quotas, average inventory levels, customer delivery time, and services to the
customer. Hyundai has recognized and reward intermediaries who are performing
well and adding good value for consumers. Those who perform poorly will be assisted
or as a last resort, replaced.
Marketing Logistics and Supply Chain Management
In the global marketplace, selling a product is sometimes easier than getting it to customers.
Hyundai decide on the best way to store, handle and move their products so that they are
available to customers in the right assortments, at the right time and in the right time.
Physical distribution and logistics effectiveness has a major impact on both customer
satisfaction and company costs.
1. Nature and Importance of Marketing Logistics
Marketing logistics involves planning, implementing and controlling the physical
flow of goods, services and related information from points of origin to points of
consumption to meet customer requirements at a profit. Hyundai put greater emphasis
on logistics because want gain a powerful advantage by using improved logistics to
give customers better service or lower prices and can yield tremendous cost savings to
both company and its customers. The explosion in product variety has created a need
23

for improved logistic management and improvements in information technology have

created opportunities for major gains in the distribution efficiency.
2. Goals of the Logistics System
The goal of marketing logistics is to provide a targeted level of customer service at the
least cost. Hyundai first research the importance of various distribution services to
customers and then set desired service levels for each segment.
3. Major Logistics Functions
Given a set of logistics objectives, Hyundai is ready to design a logistics system that
will minimize the cost of attaining these objectives. Hyundai store their car in the
warehousing while they wait to be sold. The warehouses are large and multi-storeyed
warehouses with dramatic changes in technology recent years. The storage function
overcomes differences in needed quantities and timing, ensuring that products are
available when customers are ready to buy them. Their stockyark located at Bukit
Jelutong, Shah Alam, Pelentong,Johor Bharu and Kulim,Kedah.
4. Integrated Logistics Management
Hyundai is adopted the concept of integrated logistics management. This concept
recognizes that providing better customer services and trimming distribution costs
require teamwork, both inside the company and among all the marketing channel
organizations. Responsibility for various logistics activities is assigned to many
different departments. Each function tries to optimize its own logistics performance
without regard for the activities of other functions. The goal of integrated supply
chain management is to harmonize all of the companys logistics decisions. Hyundai
also work with other channel partners to improve whole channel distribution. The
members of a marketing channel are linked closely in creating customer value and
building customer relationship. The third party logistics is an independent logistics
provider that performs any or all of the functions required to get their clients product
to market. Hyundais car is a company under Sime Darby Motor in Malaysia. Sime
Darby Motor is the third party that does the marketing promotion for Hyundais car in
the Malaysia.

MARKETING ENVIRONMENT
CHALLENGES FACED BY HYUNDAI GETZ
Marketing environment consists of the actors and forces outside marketing that affect
marketing managements ability to build and maintain successful relationships with target
customers. The marketing environment offers both opportunities and threats. The
environment continues to change rapidly. The marketing environment is made up of Microenvironment and Macro-environment.
Microenvironment
Microenvironment consists of the forces closest to the company that plays an important
role on the companys ability to fulfill the customers needs. Microenvironment sees business
opportunities through the group of goods or products needed by customers. The elements are:
company, suppliers, competitors, marketing intermediaries, customer markets and public.
i.

Company
Company is the internal environment of the company that is marketing the product. It
includes the different departments like finance, accounting, research and development
and purchasing. These interrelated groups form the internal environment. For
25

instance, the top management sets the companys mission, objectives, goals and broad
strategies. For example, Hyundai has set the goals includes making employees
responsible for their decisions: this empowers them and fosters teamwork. Secondly,
hiring and promoting the most specialized and most technologically advanced labor
force they can afford and continually striving to produce the best products and
services they can at the lowest possible cost.
ii.

Suppliers
Suppliers are the providers of the resources needed by the company to produce its
goods and services. A supplier will make sure that process used in the production,
supply of raw materials, equipment and final goods are satisfactory. Any development
related with suppliers will affect marketing. For example, Global Suppliers is committed
to providing the best quality collision parts at the lowest possible prices for all Hyundai car
models. When a problem occurs in the business, the seller will consult the suppliers. It

also relates with the increase and decrease in prices of an input used or quality of the
goods itself.
iii.

Competitors
Competitors are other organizations that are competing with the company for the
same consumers with the intention of fulfilling the same needs and wants. The
competitive environment includes all organizations that could possibly satisfy the
needs and desires of the organizations target market. Marketers need to be aware of
the type of competitive environment in which they are operating. This will greatly
influences the number and types of competitors they must be concerned with. For
example, the residual value topped popular competitive models from Toyota, Nissan,
Ford, and Chevrolet, in addition to premium brands such as Lexus, BMW and
Mercedes.

Macroenvironment
Macroenvironment factors are bigger societal forces that affect the microenvironment of
a company. Macroenvironment is an uncontrollable environment where marketers have no or
little influence. Macroenvironment covers overall business opportunities. It explores
surrounding environment which includes marketing for domestic and international
economies. The elements are natural resources, economy, demography, technology, political
and culture.
26

i.

Demography
Demography is the study of human population in terms of size, density,
location, age, race, origin, occupation and other statistics. The demography
environment is of major interest to marketers because it involves people, and
people make up markets. Marketers will depend on the demographic factors to
improve the products market whereby these factors will influences buying
behavior. Marketers must keep track of the market population profile, which
includes family size, age group and education level. For example, for passenger
Hyundai have Equus, Genesis, Azera, Sonata and Getz. While for recreational
Hyundai provide Veracruz/ix55, Santa Fe and Tucson/ix35.

ii.

Technology
Marketers use technology to improve the quality of products and services
provided by their organizations nowadays. Technological developments
provide important information and opportunities to meet their customers
needs. Scientific knowledge, research, and innovations all result in new or
improved goods and services. Advances in manufacturing technology,
distribution, pricing techniques and marketing research will help organizations
better serve to their customers. For example, with modern technology Hyundai
produce Environmentally-friendly exhaust systems. In response to increasingly
stringent regulations on exhaust emissions, the Powertrain Centre is stepping
up its efforts to develop technologies that raise fuel efficiency, lighten vehicle
weight, lower friction and improve driving power. Additionally, the Center is
working on development of powertrains for hybrid electric vehicles.

iii.

Natural Resources
Natural resources that are needed as inputs by marketers or that are affected by
marketing activities include raw materials used as inputs. These materials
consist of mineral extracts and infrastructure, which are essential elements in
the production process. Depletion of natural resources will distort the firms
production and marketing process. For example, Hyundai needs oil and gas,
coal and mineral resources, fuel, polysilicon and other resources in their
production.
