MARKETING OPERATIONS
Every company needs to manage its marketing activities effectively. Especially
the company needs to know how to analyze the market opportunities, select
appropriate target markets, segmenting the market in proper segments,
establishing the effective marketing mix and manage the marketing efforts
effectively. To fulfill these requirements, marketing department is established in
almost all well-known organizations.
DEFINING MARKETING OBJECTIVES
According to Peter Drucker, “The aim of marketing is to make selling
superfluous. The aim is to know and understand the customer so well that the
product or service fits him or her and sells itself.”
DEVELOPING MARKETING STRATEGIES
With an understanding of business' internal strengths and weaknesses and the
external opportunities and threats, we can develop a strategy that plays to our own
strengths and matches them to the emerging opportunities.
While developing marketing strategies, marketing objectives are kept in mind.
Marketing planning plays important role in developing marketing strategies.
Senior officers take part in this process and finally company head approves these
strategies. Most of the strategies are made in
of the country and industry. These involve general strategies i.e. positioning of the
company products and image specific strategies i.e. Target market, 4Ps,
Quantitative objectives etc.
While developing marketing plan following things are considered.
• Changes in our business environment, Are these opportunities or threats?
• Strengths and weaknesses?
• What customers looking for? What are their needs?
• Which customers are the most profitable?
• What's the best way of communicating with them?
• Could we improve our customer service? This can be a low-cost way of
gaining a competitive advantage over rivals, keeping customers, boosting
sales and building a good reputation.
• Could changing our products or services increase sales and profitability?
• How shall we price our product or service? Although prices need to be
competitive, most businesses find that trying to compete on price alone is
a poor strategy.
• What is the best way of distributing and selling our products?
• How can we best promote our products? Options might include
advertising, direct marketing, exhibiting at trade fairs, PR or marketing on
the web.
• How can I tell if my marketing is effective? A small-scale trial can be a
good way of testing a marketing strategy without committing to excessive
costs.

RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of Financial and SWOT analysis, I observed that World Call
Telecommunication Pvt Ltd
think they are lagging in some areas especially in Marketing. So they need
improvement in weak areas.
Promotional Schemes
Most of schemes introduced by the World Call telecommunication Pvt Ltd are
standardized for all the regions. But the organization should recognize the
differences in different regions and then launch the schemes to get feed back.
Professional Market Force
There is a need to have a pure professional marketing and sales force for
customer’s satisfaction and to increase the market share.
Frequent Market Surveys
There should be quarterly and monthly market survey to check the availability of
product and to have a relationship approach with customer (retailers).
Answers to the Rumors
The rumors created by the competitors should be answered because it makes the
investor hesitate.
Cooperative Relations:-
The market force should have cooperative relations with the retailers and should
care them to get feedback.
Political Influence
The company should try to get rid of political influence particularly in hiring of
employees.
Frequency of Ads
The company should arrange sales promotions on special occasion e.g. Eid, and
should arrange functions for such occasions.
Rules and Regulation
Implementation of rules should be making sure in the organization at any cost.
Some policies need to be redefined.
Decentralization
A bureaucratic approach still exists in the organization. This should be
demolished and some decision power should give to local management.
Motivation
The employees should be motivated to be loyal with the organization. It can be in
the form of incentives and free sampling.
Recruitment Policy
World Call telecommunication Pvt Ltd should develop a comprehensive
recruitment policy to hire only the competent people.
MIS Department
Currently MIS department is not well organized in area offices, as it should be. So
it should be given appropriate position and fully organized according to the needs
of dynamic environment.
