Executive Summary
After a highly successful second coming in India after the debacle of 1992, LG
embarked on a major repositioning exercise under the leadership of their new country head
Mr. Moon B Shin. LG is currently the market leader in the CTV market with a 25.7% share.
The current marketing strategy of LG is all about positioning them as a premium brand
among the urban consumers. LG is also focusing heavily on the rural market to drive its top
line growth objective of 20% per year. The rural market of India offers huge potential due to
very less penetration and increase in disposable income. LG has aligned its market strategy
with its new positioning by investing heavily in R&D to drive innovation which is consumer
centric and develop more products which are localized .The market remains and is expected
to be more competitive as all the competitors including the challenger Samsung are
increasing their R&D and advertisement expenditure. One company to watch out for LG is
Videocon as their highly successful country head Mr. KR Kim has moved to Videocon. LG
has a long product line which spreads from Rs 6000 to Rs 3,00,000 catering to every
consumer segment with many products that are designed to meet local needs, for e.g. New
Time Machine series which has a built in memory to record programs is targeted at the Indian
housewives. LG has embarked on a drive to revamp its sales force according to the industry
needs. Also great attention is to be paid on the after sales service which forms one of the most
important components of the marketing mix especially in Indian context where television is a
high involvement product. With the increase in the internet users the online marketing can
extensively be used to promote the product and gain considerable share-of-voice. Logistics
and distribution also plays a very important part as the whole rural market sales depend
heavily on availability of the product. Also the increase in market expenditure and
competition would exert considerable pressure on the bottom line as it would tend to squeeze
out the margins. At the end, it all boils down to how much value is being passed on to the
consumer. The company which does it better eventually commands the greater market share.
LG TV

higher dynamic contrasts than LCD televisions. They are generally costlier than LCD
televisions. They are slim and lightweight too.
Features:
Trumotion technology
Golden Eye technology
Full High Definition picture
The colour television is in the growth stage of its product life cycle in India. Following are
some of the characteristics of the product:
The television industry is still experiencing good sales growth year on year. Firms are
queuing up to tap the largely untapped rural market and there is also growth potential in the
semi – urban markets.
Television industry is characterized by high levels of technical innovations and most
of the popular innovations have an impact on customer buying patterns.
Television Sales of LG has risen at a level of 15% over the last year whereas its
advertising expenses have increased by 10%.
Customer Analysis:
Segmentation
Due to the increasing competition in the TV market LG has to move beyond offering just a
competitive price and establishing its outlets at the prime locations. Initially LG had
identified consumers as Premium and Reliable customers on the basis of their income. But
with economic slowdown in the market, LG can now further segment the Premium urban
consumers on the basis of their psychology. The reason for this kind of segmentation is that
the major factor which derives the sales is not advertising but the consumers’ behaviour
which is affected by the environment.

TV’s available in market are :
As per 2008 data, CRT TV accounts for 92.9% of TV sales in 2008. LCD TV comes second
with 6.6%.
Market size:
TV market in India in 2007 was Rs 9741 Crores. Also in 2009 93% houses in urban market

Market Profitability:
India being second largest population in the world and an annual GDP growth rate of7.9% in
Q2 of 2009(Nomura consulting and financial advisory ltd.) continues to lure marketers as a
market offering great opportunities for growth. Also increasing disposable income provide
for increased potential in Indian market. Additionally democracy & bureaucracy provide a
stable climate to industries. Indian TV market is an oligopolistic market with few leading
firms like Sony, LG, Onida, Videocon, Panasonic. This makes rivalry between firms stiffer.
Market Trends:
Indian consumers generally buy TV with a long term perspective of around 10years. This
makes after sales service one of the most important elements in the marketing communication
mix of the company to maintain brand loyalty, customer satisfaction and generating word of
mouth publicity.
As per estimates, it is expected that LCD TV market will grow at 50% YoY w.r.t 2008-09. So
it is expected that by 2009-10 LCD TV market in India will be 15, 00,000 units. This will be
basically due to increasing disposable income & advent of DTH in India. Most TV players
are concentrating on this growing LCD TV demand.
Here it is important to note that demand for big screen TV is not much affected during
recession times. Reason being most people curb spending on holidays, vacations & reduce
travel. People prefer to stay at home. Hence demand more or less remains the same (HBR:
April 2009).
Further, the Sixth Pay Commission helped in boosting TV demand because of the increased
disposable income.
Also, we note that demand of TV is related to the housing sector demand. In the stimulus
package government (Dec 8’08) has invested 4000Crores for the housing sector. This is
expected to boost housing sector & hence boost TV demand. (Source: rajasthan.gov.in).
Also here it is important to note that emergence of nuclear families has contributed greatly to
increase in sales of TV in India. (HBR: July August 2006)
India being second largest population in the world and an annual GDP growth rate of more
than 8% from 2002 to 2012(estimate) offers a potential market. It is expected that in 2010-
2011, the market for TV in India will be around Rs. 21.5k crores. This estimate is based on a
CAGR of 9% which is traditionally observed in TV market in India. Here it is important to
note that we have already factored in the effect of recession as explained above. Also the
demand for LCD TV will grow.

Competition Analysis:
LG’s major competitors are Samsung, Sony, Videocon, Onida and Panasonic.
In order to find out the strongest rival of LG TV, we have carried out the following analysis
where we compare LG with its major competitors on parameters of market share, distribution
channel, logistics efficiency and the price offered by them.
Competitors Array:
Weights LG Samsun Sony Videocon
g
Market Share 0.35 6 5 4.5 4
Distribution 0.30 6 6 5 7

Logistics 0.15 7 6 6 6

Total 6.15 5.85 4.975 5.80
It can be concluded from the above that Samsung is its strongest competitor followed by
Videocon and Sony.
Competitor analysis using porter’s framework:
Competitor’s objective Competitor’s strategy
Samsung : Samsung :
Samsung wants to increase its share Samsung has changed its strategy
especially in the fast growing LCD from being a premium brand to that
television market. catering to the mass market.
Sony : Sony :
Sony wants to increase its shares in Sony believes in creating high degree
the LCD television market. of loyalty amongst its customers by
providing great quality.
Videocon:
To increase its share in the overall Videocon:
television market Videocon’s strategy has always been
to be competing on cost and to
provide value to consumers.
Competitor’s Assumptions Competitor’s Resources & Capabilities
Sony has a policy wherein its dealers Samsung and Sony are very strong
are not allowed to sell their products international brands and have
under a specific price called the resources and research capabilities to
minimum operating price. This it stand up and counter any new
does as it feels that lowering its price strategy by LG.
may affect its image as a premium
brand.
Although LG is the market leader in terms of percentage share of the market, its
average realisation is pretty low owing to its policy of competitive pricing.
Though Samsung is larger than LG globally, LG has been very aggressive in the
Indian market to get a strong foothold.
Videocon has been able to stand its ground in the face of tough competition from
international firms with bigger brand names. With the move of LGs highly successful
country head Mr. KR Kim to Videocon, LG can look forward to a bitter battle.
There are two basic positions that the firms have taken. Some firms have decided to
offer competitive prices and play the number game while some others have tried to
position themselves as an “aspiration” brand maintaining higher sales margins.
Threat of entry:
Excellent distribution networks are imperative for great returns in the television
industry and act as entry barriers to new entrants. A good distribution network leads
to cost efficiency which is an order winner.
Brand image is an important factor that affects consumer buying. Thus it acts as an
entry barrier to new firms.
Large scale operations also leads to economies of scale which saves operational cost
and hence helps in providing competitive pricing which acts as an entry barrier.
Threat of substitutes:
Buyer power:
Buyer power is high and most firms compete on the basis of providing good value at a
lower price than its competitors.
The switching cost for buyers is almost zero and thus brand switching is common.
It is a price sensitive market and pricing strategy needs to be spot on to be successful
in the Indian television market.
Supplier power:
Some important parts like the picture tube in a CRT television form a major chunk of
the cost of a television. Owing to reduction in import duties on parts imported, the
bargaining power of television producers has gone up.
Firms like Videocon have successfully implemented backward integration to reduce
their cost even further.
Logistics
LG has around 2 manufacturing plants, 14 electronic manufacturers, 800 vendors of raw
materials, 37 sales points, 44 stock points, 140 area offices, 5,000 dealers and 12,000 sub-
dealers.
LG has adopted the 5R approach towards efficient management of its flow of goods, energy,
information, human resource as well as its core products and services from the place of
production to the point of sale. The approach involves:
1. Right Time
2. Right Place
3. Right Condition
4. Right Cost
5. Right Handling
3. Yellow Card – Wait for product to be labelled with green, and then allow it to move to
market.
LG uses third-party logistics (3PL) to manage its logistics requirement, thereby shifting the
focus towards more strategic value adding operations. They use 3PL companies to handle
transportation between supplier – manufacturer as well as manufacturer – point of
sale/warehouse, warehousing, and distribution of their products in India. This ensures that
products are available all across the country. This also reduces transportation & warehousing
costs and not to forget the inventory levels.
Currently it uses the GSCP (global supply chain process) as a tool to optimize the supply
chain in order to monitor demand, supply, manufacturing status, logistics and distribution . It
prepares a production and dispatch plan on a weekly basis using the inventory & production
data from the ERP.
It is a client of LG CNS India and thus uses its Enterprise Data Management, Quality
Consulting, Software testing, Manufacturing Execution System, Identity & Access
Management, Product Development as well as Staffing and Recruiting services.
LG factory is located at NOIDA and has three types on warehouses:
1. Mother Warehouse
2. Branch Warehouse
3. Spare part warehouse
Pricing Strategy of LG
LG TV offerings available in market are from Rs 6200(lower segments) to Rs
3,00,000(premium segment)
Mr. Shin has set a target to reposition LG as an aspirational brand which takes it away from
its price –warrior approach which Mr. KR Kim adhered to for the most part of the decade.
One of the reasons to drift away from this earlier hugely successful price warrior strategy is
that this model is easily replicable. Now LG wants to compete on quality alone and not price.
Also here it is important to note that in Diwali’08 LG TV did not give any discount on TV.
This might be a part of its strategy to reposition itself.
LG IMC
Print ads: Print ads are given in all the leading newspapers. Frequency of print ads
increase during Diwali time to educate customers about various schemes and offers.
TV commercials: LG commercials focus on the product features and style to lure its
customers.
Hoarding, Posters, banners are used so as means of outdoor advertising
Radio: LG also uses the radio FM for the promotion activities.
Sales promotion:
a) LG life’s good membership:
Membership privileges-
b) Exclusive discounts and rewards that can be availed at select Programme Partners:
Programme Partners include some of the leading names in restaurants, home-
décor, travel & stay, entertainment, apparels & accessories, health & fitness and
lifestyle.
Exhibitions
LG organises various exhibitions to increase its visibility among customers. It has organised
“LG stars of India” festival in many cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Lucknow,
Kakinada and Chennai which included exhibition cum sales. Customers were offered
attractive prizes and coupons to book their orders then and there. Attractive schemes such as
“lead the Indian team at the ICC Champions Trophy, South Africa” and “win a trip to South
Africa” were given to the customers. Further free service camps, 0% finance camp, lucky
draws and fun filled activities were organised at the exhibition area. Customers were also
offered coupons.
Other activities
Line activities and promotions: 60 per cent of LG’s budget is spent on these kinds of
activities. LG has around 1,150 in shop demonstrators and 1,000 counters across the country.
Society and college activities

Threats
Marketing Implementation
Objectives
The LGEIL’s goal is to capture 40% market share of the consumer white goods market in
India by 2012. Their current share is 26%. They also aim to have a growth rate of 20% each
year. Also they intend to become numero uno in LCD TV market.
Policies
Invest to create a global brand identity
Upgrade and align the company to meet the future requirements.
Innovate through design and technology
Manage company’s product portfolio to remain ahead of competitors.
Develop strategies to segment customers.
Align all the strategies towards future growth and higher return on investment and
equity.
Future Marketing Strategy
Slam-on-the-brakes: They are worst affected by recession. They reduce all types of
expenditure by eliminating, postponing, decreasing, or substituting purchases. Usually
lower-income and anxious higher-income customers come into this segment.
Pained-but-patient: They are found at all income levels. They are consumers that
economize their spending in all areas but are optimistic that situation will improve in
the long run.
Comfortably well-off: They constitute top 5% income level people and their
expenditure is similar to that before recession. Usually retired people.
Live for today: they are the typical urban young. They don’t like to change their
consumption behaviour unless they become unemployed.
In order to boost up its sales in the premium segment LG should continue launching new
product innovations such as the latest LG Monitor TV. They will enable them to capitalize on
getting higher margins rather than volumes. The quality conscious consumers can be lured by
emphasizing on the top notch quality of the LG TV. The youngsters can further be attracted
by offering convenient automatic credit cards billing. They can also influence the psyche of
the consumer by advertising TV as a product they deserve because they are successful.
LG should focus on the semi developed rural markets to derive its sales growth now that the
disposable income of the rural population is increasing. Since the definition of rural markets
in India is not clear, an escape from this confusion can be that LG can target those urban and
semi rural markets which are exhibiting high GDP growth and are not adversely affected by
the downturn.
Since the consumer can easily postpone his purchase of consumer durables like TV, LG
should focus on the quality of their product, promote the savings from purchasing TV now, or
offer monthly payment plans. Introduction of loan waiver and subsidy to the Indian farmers
by the central government will facilitate this. LG’s sales have already received 35%
contribution from sales in rural segment in 2008 and around 45% in 2009.
1. Availability
2. Affordability
3. Acceptability
4. Awareness
Availability
Rural areas are spread over a vast geographical region and adding to it is the poor road
infrastructure. LG will have to increase its reach by incurring considerable distribution costs.
It use of Hub and Spoke model wherein the rural offices can be set up in towns/bigger
villages and distribution to adjoining villages can be catered to from there. At present LG has
set up 45 area offices and 59 rural/remote area offices.
Affordability
After the success of LG Sampoorna, LG can come up with reasonably priced TVs for rural
and semi-urban market in the range of Rs. 6000 to Rs. 10000.
Acceptability
In order to increase acceptability of LG products in the rural market, it can come up with a
TV customized for this new segment, equipped with simple features suited to rural India.
Awareness
Awareness can be created by conducting Store demonstrations at Dealer stores. LG can use
road shows, mobile vans to reach rural customers and advertise in the local language of the
people. Wall writings can also be considered as Philips had been successful with it. An
exhibition during fairs and Haats is another means of promotion.
January –March: These months are important in context of rural markets as it is the season of
harvest and hence witness increased spending from rural consumer.
April –May: Is the time for a surge in advertising expenditure as country is gripped in cricket
fever due to IPL which reportedly reached 59 Million consumers last year.
June - September: This time should be used to promote common wealth games.
October- November: These are the months when the demand of rural as well as urban
consumers rises manyfolds due to the festive season (Dhanteras, Diwali, Dusshera). LG
should again increase its advertising expenditure and also focus on various other marketing
communications like sales promotion and exhibition (eg. Trade fair) to gain considerable
share of voice.
Apart from these LG should allot a fixed advertising agenda for every month. Sponsoring
various reality shows are also a good way to gain visibility. Advertising time for TV should
be during prime time unlike some other home appliances which target housewives
particularly and advertise in less costly noon timings and during re-telecasted of TV soaps.
Evaluation & Control
Profitability Control:
The firm should do a thorough cost analysis of all its products variants. It should
identify the places where it can increase cost efficiency through process
improvements.
For profitability analysis it should analyse the various financial instruments like
balance sheet, cash flow statements and profit and loss account statements.

Efficiency Control
The firm should gain understanding of the various functions within the firm to
increase efficiency in the time taken and the cost. It should also increase the quality
control measures to reduce product flaws which can also hamper the brand image.
Strategic Control
LG should do a marketing audit to determine areas that provide opportunities for
growth and also those areas which act as problem areas and develop suitable
strategies for both type of markets.
Critique of the Website:
Present website
Corporate Website: http://www.in.lge.com
Source:http://www.onlinemarketingindia.com/top-10-search-engine-positioning-
mistakes.htm
Negatives of present website:
1. Website designed for high bandwidth. Internet speed in India is slow. So may not be
effective to have a very heavy website. It might show up something like image 1
shown above & hence might fail to attract a ‘passer-by’ consumer. Such graphics can
be moved to locations which will require few clicks ensuring that consumer is really
interested.
2. Customer support website takes a very long time to load.
1. LG website should add a feature wherein consumers can register on the website,
search for the required product based on their preference, after which they can add it
to a cart. Subsequently a payment can be made to select a mode of online payment
which should be secure as well as convenient.
2. Banners and pop-ups can be used on the frequently visited sites especially social
networking sites like Twitter, Orkut, Facebook as well as email portals like Gmail and
Yahoo. This can be used to create awareness about both LG brand as a whole and LG
TV in particular. The banners should emphasize on the product features, tagline and
promotional offerings and also provide a link to the LG website.
