2.MARKETING STRATEGY
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 14
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
Marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to
concentrate its limited resources on the greatest opportunities to increase
sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage
Developing a Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategies serve as the fundamental underpinning of marketing
plans designed to fill market needs and reach marketing objectives. Plans
and objectives are generally tested for measurable results. Commonly,
marketing strategies are developed as multi-year plans, with a tactical plan
detailing specific actions to be accomplished in the current year. Time
horizons covered by the marketing plan vary by company, by industry, and
by nation, however, time horizons are becoming shorter as the speed of
change in the environment increases. Marketing strategies are dynamic and
interactive. They are partially planned and partially unplanned. See strategy
dynamics.
Marketing strategy involves careful scanning of the internal and external
environments which are summarized in a SWOT analysis. Internal
environmental factors include the marketing mix, plus performance analysis
and strategic constraints. External environmental factors include customer
analysis, competitor analysis, target market analysis, as well as evaluation of
any elements of the technological, economic, cultural or political/legal
environment likely to impact success. A key component of marketing
strategy is often to keep marketing in line with a company's overarching
mission statement.
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 15
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
Types of strategies
Marketing strategies may differ depending on the unique situation of the
individual business. However there are a number of ways of categorizing
some generic strategies. A brief description of the most common
categorizing schemes is presented below:
Strategies based on market dominance - In this scheme, firms are
classified based on their market share or dominance of an industry.
Typically there are four types of market dominance strategies:
Leader
Challenger
Follower
Nicher
Porter generic strategies - strategy on the dimensions of strategic
scope and strategic strength. Strategic scope refers to the market
penetration while strategic strength refers to the firm’s sustainable
competitive advantage. The generic strategy framework (porter 1984)
comprises two alternatives each with two alternative scopes. These
are Differentiation and low-cost leadership each with a dimension of
Focus-broad or narrow.
Product differentiation (broad)
Cost leadership (broad)
Market segmentation (narrow)
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 16
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
Innovation strategies - This deals with the firm's rate of the new
product development and business model innovation. It asks whether the
company is on the cutting edge of technology and business innovation.
There are three types:
Pioneers
Close followers
Late followers
Growth strategies - In this scheme we ask the question, “How
should the firm grow?”. There are a number of different ways of
answering that question, but the most common gives four answers:
Horizontal integration
Vertical integration
Diversification
Intensification
A more detailed scheme uses the categories
Prospector
Analyzer
Defender
Reactor
Marketing warfare strategies - This scheme draws parallels between
marketing strategies and military strategies.

3.1 Market analysis
A Market analysis is a documented investigation of a market that is used to
inform a firm's planning activities particularly around decisions of inventory,
purchase, work force expansion/contraction, facility expansion, purchases of
capital equipment, promotional activities, and many other aspects of
a company.
Dimensions of market analysis
Market size
The most common measure of market size is the sum of the revenues of its
participants. The following are examples of information sources for
determining market size:
Government data
Trade association data
Financial data from major players
Customer surveys
Market trends
Changes in the market are important because they often are the source of
new opportunities and threats. Moreover, they have the potential to
dramatically affect the market size.
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 20
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
Examples include changes in economic, social, regulatory, legal, and
political conditions and in available technology, price sensitivity, demand
for variety, and level of emphasis on service and support.
Market growth rate
A simple means of forecasting the market growth rate is to extrapolate
historical data into the future. While this method may provide a first-order
estimate, it does not predict important turning points. A better method is to
study market trends and sales growth in complementary products. Such
drivers serve as leading indicators that are more accurate than simply
extrapolating historical data.
Important inflection points in the market growth rate sometimes can be
predicted by constructing a product diffusion curve. The shape of the curve
can be estimated by studying the characteristics of the adoption rate of a
similar product in the past.
Ultimately, many markets mature and decline. Some leading indicators of a
market's decline include market saturation, the emergence of substitute
products, and/or the absence of growth drivers.
Market segments
Markets are not uniform. Therefore it is also important for investors to
identify and evaluate the various segments that make up the total market.
This analysis helps organizations determine which areas account for the
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 21
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
greatest share of the market's growth and are more susceptible to change.
This information, in turn, helps them pinpoint the most promising
opportunities within the overall market and guides the choice of specific
investments.
Market profitability
While different organizations in a market will have different levels of
profitability, they are all similar to different market conditions. Michael
Porter devised a useful framework for evaluating the attractiveness of an
industry or market. This framework, known as Porter's five forces, identifies
five factors that influence the market profitability:
Buyer power
Supplier power
Barriers to entry
Threat of substitute products
Rivalry among firms in the industry
Industry cost structure
The cost structure is important for identifying key factors for success. To
this end, Porter's value chain model is useful for determining where value is
added and for isolating the costs.
SVN IT (Affiliated to Dr.Hari Singh Gour University Sagar M.P)Page 22
PROJECT REPORT ON“ MARKETING STRATEGIES OF AXIS BANK”
The cost structure also is helpful for formulating strategies to develop a
competitive advantage. For example, in some environments the experience
curve effect can be used to develop a cost advantage over competitors.
Distribution channels
Examining the following aspects of the distribution system may help with a
market analysis:
Existing distribution channels - can be described by how direct they
are to the customer.
Trends and emerging channels - new channels can offer the
opportunity to develop a competitive advantage.
Channel power structure - for example, in the case of a product having
little brand equity, retailers have negotiating power over manufacturers
and can capture more margin.
Success factors
The key success factors are those elements that are necessary in order for the
firm to achieve its marketing objectives. A few examples of such factors
include:
Access to essential unique resources
Ability to achieve economies of scale
Access to distribution channels
Technological progress
It is important to consider that key success factors may change over time,
especially as the product progresses through its life cycle
