Introduction :

Consumer awareness

Consumer awareness, which refers to a buyer's knowledge of a particular


product or company, allows the buyer to get the most from what he buys.
Consumers know more about their choices when they have product information
and benefit from knowing their rights, hearing about alerts and warnings and
finding out about safety issues.

Need and importance of consumer awareness

1. To achieve maximum satisfaction


The income of every individual is limited. He wants to buy maximum
goods and services with his income. He gets full satisfaction only by this
limited adjustment. Therefore it is necessary that he should get the goods
which are measured appropriately and he should not be cheated in any
way. For this he should be made aware.

2. Protection against exploitation :


Producers and sellers exploit the consumers in many ways
as underweighting, taking more price than the market price, selling
duplicate goods etc. Big companies through their advertisement also
mislead the consumers. Consumer awareness shields them from the
exploitation by producers and sellers.

3.Control over consumption of harmful goods :


There are several such goods available in market which cause harm to
some consumers. For example we can take goods like cigarette, tobacco,
liquor etc. The consumer education and awareness motivate people not to
purchase such goods which are very harmful for them.

4. Motivation for saving :


The awareness controls people from wastage of money and extravagancy
and inspire them to take right decision. Such consumers are not attracted

7 | Page
by sale, concession, free gifts, attractive packing etc due to which people
can use their income in a right way and can save money.
5. Knowledge regarding solution of problems :
The consumers are cheated due to illiteracy, innocence and lack of
information. Therefore it becomes necessary that the information about
their rights should be provided to them so that they cannot be cheated by
producers and sellers. Through consumer awareness they are also made
known to the proceedings of laws so that they can solve their problems.
6. Construction of healthy society :
Every member of the society is a consumer. So, if the consumer is aware
and rationale, then complete society becomes healthy and alert towards
their rights.

OBJECTIVES
Objective of the Study:
Study on Consumer Awareness and Sales of Oppo Smartphone

Project on consumer awareness of Oppo Smartphone was carried out by me


through organizing and taking part in lot of events. The objectives for studying
consumer behaviour towards Oppo smartphones were -

To test the effectiveness of the communication of the offers to the


consumers
To test the awareness level among public with respect to offers of Oppo
To assess the attractiveness of the offers to customers at Oppo
To sell Oppo Products when crowd was huge in the store

Key challenges for OPPO:


Lack of local advertising and application-oriented promotion makes for
product-illiteracy among local mark.

Brand awareness is there, but still lacks motivation for purchase


consideration on much level.

Lack of distributive expansion to all areas of the country.

Function of the job:


The main taskgiven to me was to increase sales.
Regular communication with shop owners of different markets and also
with the potential customers.
Visiting shops and emerging markets.
Sales inspection of different stores under mine.
Promote OPPO by spreading positive word of mouth communication.
Collecting the market information from the market.
26 | P a g e
Reporting the information to the manager.
Planning the new strategy for communicating with the clients.
Tasks assigned to me:

Event Management

In the concept of marketing event is the important tool of sales


promotion. Events organized by the company to make awareness about
the brand and products. And it helps to increase the sales in short term
period.
In event management, information (features, price, and history of the
company) was provided by me to the customers and leafletswere
distributed among the consumers and anchoring was also done by me.
Learning: I have learnt many things about event management and sales
promotion. I have learnt the way how to organize event. I have learnt how
event attracts customers towards the product and how events are helpful
for sales and promote a brand. Events mainly increase the footfalls of
customers to a particular store and makes brand awareness in the
customers mind.
Company provide the event were event required or shop owner demand.
I did events in these locations -
1. Wishrantvadi
2. J M Road
3. F C Road
4. Viman Nagar
5. Koregoan Park
6. Kothrud
7.Pune Camp
For the event company allot the area and send the event material on that
location, when the stock materials reach the allotted place then we put all
the materials (like- Ollie, gate, tent, leaflets, plastic counter). Company
provide the event on every Saturday and Sunday.

27 | P a g e
Auditing

I have done Price auditand Stock audit in the market (Pune city and
PCMC market) I had learnt the technique and the process of auditing and
also the
importance of auditing.

I was asked to do price auditing in the allotted shops. The main agenda of price
auditing is to check which shop breaks the company MOP policy. If any shop
breaks companys MOP policy then they are fined. If the shop sells the mobile
below the range then company fine that shop of Rs. 20000. As well as they stop
producing bill of that shop and take away all the stock of that company.

Open the new outlet

In this part where the oppo smartphone not present in any shop my work is that
to convert the shop owner for keep our product. I was converted 8shops in Pune
during my SIP.

Outlets which is opened by me.

1. Baba InfoTech ( Tilak Road Pune)

2. Amit Communication ( Bhawanipeth)

3. Raj Lakshmi Electronics (Kothrud Stand)

4. Good Luck ( J M Road )

5. A M Mobile (Kothrud Stand )

6. Joshi Enterprises ( Camp, Pune)

7. Rajendra Mobile Shoppee ( Camp )

8. Amna Mobile ( Camp )

28 | P a g e
Sales

I had learnt the sales process, consumer buying behavior and understanding
customers need. In Oppo the selling part basically depends on the company
promoters. Company also focuses on selling part like through the event in
which Company gives some offers.

The selling which could not be done by the promoters in some shops the
retailers themselves promoted the product as they were provided with schemes
and incentives.

The retailers who didnt had any promoters were given schemes such as if they
could sell 25 cellphones of the company they became eligible to a get a
company promoter for their shop.

In the events if the number of customers were increased to a level that could not
be entertained by the promoter then the company executive also helped the
promoter in the selling of the product. He only attempt one or two customer at
the time, company people also attempt the customer and tell him or her all the
features of Oppo smart phone and generates sale for the company.

Company also provide the skims to the retailers or Osr (promoters) to make
more sale.

The company has different incentive offers for both retailers and company sales
person. I have to do institutional sales for Oppo mobile. My task was-

1. I have to go to shops to check the stocks, if the stocks are not there I have
to take order and push the products.

2. I have to look after that the shop is breaking MOP policy or not.

29 | P a g e
3. The company was providing incentives for institutional sales, if the sales
person is selling <10000 rs ph. then he will get 50Rs/phone, 10000Rs-
20000Rs phone then 100Rs/ phone, if 20000Rs-30000Rs phone then
150Rs/phone.

4. I used to give updated news and information about the phones.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Data interpretation:
Once the data were collected, regarding the interviews, my supervisor at
OPPO Pune Communication Equipment Co. Ltd. was consulted to review
which materials were relevant to the study and what actual analysis can be
derived from the gathered information. Tallying methods was used mostly in
order to process the data gathered through the questionnaire surveys. The
tallies were then converted to percentage-wise statistics, whereby a finalized
analysis of the survey data put together.
Observation and findings:
From my observation and practical survey on the branding strategy of OPPO
Pune,I come up with some findings and some key challenges, which are
given below:

Findings for OPPO:


Increasing number of consumers using more than one handset at a time
increases sales possibility.
Growing trend among mobile phone users to frequently purchase new
handsets to replace old models.
Consumer base becoming more and more feature variety oriented.
Increasing goodwill with local distributors/retailers.
The new systematic pricing policy allows it to cut into all price segments of
the target market.
Increasing consumer interest in high tech mobile phone accessories such as
USB-Bluetooth Device.
Consumer base becoming more and more feature variety oriented.

Key challenges for OPPO:


Lack of local advertising and application-oriented promotion makes for
product-illiteracy among local mark.
Brand awareness is there, but still lacks motivation for purchase
consideration on much level.
Lack of distributive expansion to all areas of the country.

43 | P a g e
Conclusion:
Excellent product quality: This refers to the product ability to satisfy
consumers or customers need, both functionally and emotionally. This is the
most important factor if a brand is to be a winning brand. Users are getting
smarter in their choice and will not make purchase decision if they dont trust in
the quality of the product presented to them.
Comprehensive and thorough communication: Hitting the right
communication channel and effectively delivering the message to potential
buyers contributes to the success of a brand. Even for a good product, if no one
knows about it, talks about it or discuss about it, then the chance of failure for
that product is really high. Considering the case of iPhone for example although
there has been a lot of negative feedback about the product recently, however,
every time a new version of iPhone is launched, the world holds it breath and
eagerly waits to see the great invention of Apple. This is achieving through
mastery in communication. Despite that, the product must be strong, reliable
and good all by itself in order for consumers to test out and trust what being said
in the communication channel.

With that being said, to be on top, OPPO must perform two critical tasks: design
a great product and build up a communication plan for it. Design of the product
would come straight from the need or expectation of the market. Consumers no
longer want to buy what marketers sell to them; instead they want to buy things
to solve their need. Therefore OPPO must base on the need in the market to
come up with an idea or solution those consumers or customers would buy.
Next would be to build up a strategy, marketing strategy, communication
strategy, and so on. At the heart of all those activities is the brand positioning.

44 | P a g e
Limitation of the report:
In every study there have some limitations and in my report there are some
limitations. I did customers and visitors survey for my internship report, but I
also need to take a survey from the channel partner of OPPO. Some
information gaps and limitation which is given below:
In my report I cant discuss some organizational data and information for
organizational policy.
It was hard to find out branding strategy used by OPPO India
Co. Ltd. because they are not sharing information much and some
information I have to find my practical observation.

Time limitation is another fact thats why my survey quantity is limited.


I figure out some information with informal talk with employees or officers
which are every telecommunication company have some banding policy and
connection with markets so that I cant find out proper outcome of my
questionnaire.

45 | P a g e
Suggestion
In order to make recommendation about developing brand strategy for OPPO
India Co. Ltd. toward the business community, the first thing must be done is
to identify problems that OPPO brand is currently facing. Base on the
analysis and survey valuable information and insights are extracted to point
out weaknesses in the way OPPO manages its brand.
Using the CBBE model as a guideline for analysis, weaknesses in each brand
building block are brought out for discussion in order to suggest solutions
which is addressed below-
Brand salience: From the findings it can be seen that business has very
shallow understanding about OPPO brand. Most of them only know about
some general information such as OPPO is giant Chinese brand making high
tech Smartphones. The reason for such low level of awareness in other
functions is the lack of communication. OPPO does not have any formal
channels to communicate with the consumer community other than its
website. In addition to that, most marketing budget is used to spend on
branding.
Brand performance: OPPO brand performance is made up by the quality of
its Smartphones and its innovative features and functions. For the functions,
although OPPO has some valuable achievement already likes VOOC rapid
charge, still they are not widely recognized by the consumer community
which is a huge waste for opportunities to make good impression and build
up the brand reputation for comprehensive performance at all fronts.
Brand image: General comments about OPPO brand image as a
Smartphone is good. However, due to some negative impression about
Chinese branded Smartphones, OPPO is still far away from developing its
image as a reliable brand. Moreover, business perception about OPPO is that
it is just a Chinese branded Smartphone. As for that, the consumer has bad
perception about OPPO ever since which largely affects the brand image and
the products, to build up relationship with the consumers and it would be
challenging for OPPO to apply for the company.
Brand judgment: Since the brand reputation is built up by the perception
about quality of OPPO Smartphone, OPPO mainly focus on those two
things. The main problem is that consumer is getting more option to choose
their brand. Therefore their judgments are mostly related about the product

quality, product performance which can be linked directly to consumers
mind satisfaction. Since the organization not only responsible for this, but
also the performance of the product, OPPO has not done a good job in
building a strong and appropriate communication channel for its products,
which largely affects the total OPPO brand reputation.
Brand feeling: As mentioned above, if the product quality is not satisfactory
and the product will not go with the image of the consumer then their feeling
toward OPPO is that this is not the right product to choose and also not a
safe place to set up a long term relationship. However, if OPPO able to fix
that through designing andintegrating market research and consulting with
end users about the market trend then a huge competitive advantage would
be made which could set OPPO above all others.
Brand resonance: In short, OPPO India Co. Ltd. is having some problems
with its brand in term of product performance and effective communication.
First of all the high tech Smartphones performance is better but the low
range product performance is not satisfactory thats why OPPO must have to
be careful about this and next the lack of communication makes OPPO less
known to consumer, especially in term of other functions and features that it
provides. In addition to that, the confusing brand name and lack of clear
point of differentiation hinder OPPOs ability to make its brand stand out of
the crowd. Lastly, without an effective communication channel, OPPO has
not been able to project its image as a branded Smartphone.
