"Topic Overview"
A. Introduction of Topic:
Marketing strategy is very important for the development of any business. Without it, the
company's efforts to attract customers are haphazard and ineffective. The main focus of
your strategy must be to ensure that your services meet the consumer's demand and also
to maintain a long-term relationship with these customers.
|
lOMoARcPSD|48320606
“A marketing strategy is a set of specific ideas and actions that outline and guide
decisions about the best or chosen way to create, distribute, promote, and price a product
or service.”
Marketing strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its limited
resources on the greatest opportunities to increase delivery and achieve a sustainable
competitive advantage.
Advertising:
Public Relations:
Highly trusted; very believable; Many forms: newspaper articles, news, events and
sponsorships, etc. Through other forms of promotion, it reaches many lost prospects;
Dramatizes a company or product; Often the most underutilized elements in the
promotional mix; Relatively cheap.
Direct Marketing:
Many Forms: Telephone marketing, direct mail, online marketing, etc. Four distinctive
characteristics: Nonpublic, Immediate, Customized, Interactive.

lOMoARcPSD|48320606
I. Marketing mix:
Product:
TRACKON COURIER is a leading courier and logistics company that ensures timely delivery of
goods. TRACKON COURIER promises secure delivery through a developed tracking system that has a
unique code that can be tracked online for the current location of the shipment. The
service offerings within the marketing mix product strategy can be explained as follows:
Internal Urgency: Premium service from TRACKON COURIER, these are packages that need to be
delivered quickly, so please use aviation mode for delivery. These are charged higher
fees.
Line service: These are products that do not require much time constraint, although they
need transportation with minimal cost. Therefore, they are transmitted through road
services. This is a TRACKON COURIER economy service.
Dart Apex: These are packs that consist of a mix of ground and air deliveries, depending
on which reaches faster. These are moderately expensive services.
Other services also include a smart mailbox service. International services covering all
countries around the world are now managed by DHL.
|
People:
For service companies, the company's greatest strength lies in its people. Only quality
service can ensure that customers return to it. Therefore, Trackon courier provides its
employees with various training and incentives for better performance. Since service is of
the utmost importance to the company, rewards and ratings are based on the level of
service achieved by participating carriers. This also ensures that the company has
satisfied customers, which affects sales. The sales team is also motivated to provide leads
and opportunities for expansion. They have a specific goal to be achieved during the
given period. To realize the importance of their works, these people are referred to as
'soldiers'. The company's HR management is very effective. Clearly, the company has
been ranked among the 15 best places to work. A dedicated and efficient HR team is also
one of the main reasons for the company's success.
Promotion:
Being a service provider, TRACKON COURIER's main promotion, provides customers with a good
experience so they can rely on the services offered. In addition, promotional activities are
basically about brand awareness. With growing positive word of mouth that is only
possible through reliable services, this is a major promotional tactic for Trackon courier.
Various advertisements are placed in magazines and newspapers to make the brand more
visible. Online ads include YouTube channels and social media. The slogan is "Solutions
for peace of mind", which affects the reliability and trustworthiness of the position among
users about the brand. In addition, there are various methods of covert marketing, such as
|
appearing in advertisements of e-commerce companies or through films and televisions
that offer exposure to the company.
Price:
TRACKON COURIER has an efficient logistics system and uses a competitive pricing strategy in its
marketing mix to serve its customers. Based on location, i.e. distance, package size and
handling costs, the prices charged are similar to market prices. Apart from simple pricing
and market, the company also charges premium prices depending on the criticality of the
product, short delivery time or even depending on unique locations. TRACKON COURIER's service
prices are therefore based on the type of products, which may be electronic goods that
require high care and therefore high packaging costs that translate into multiple charges
or time-sensitive: Products that are to be delivered in a short time and high value is
charged more, for providing a more reliable service. Although product pricing is done
according to the need for services, it is not entirely variable pricing, but rather a
standardized pricing policy where the amount to be charged is determined for each case.
Place:
Trackon courier is headquartered in Delhi, with major hubs in 6 major cities in India
including Mumbai and Delhi. It covers the whole of South Asia with a very compact
|
service in more than 13 thousand locations. Door-to-door delivery is intended for
individual customers who want packages sent to relatives or friends. The price for such
depends on the size of the package, although it is lower than for business shipments. Trackon
Courier also offers services to businesses and organizations in the transportation of supplies
and logistics for their operations. Here they only work from the door to the airport or vice
versa. With the advent of online shopping, the importance of delivery systems has
increased. Many e-commerce sites have tie-ups with these companies for cheap delivery
options as they require frequent deliveries.
Process:
In its process, TRACKON COURIER focuses on being efficient in terms of service availability, ability
to manage packages and logistics, and on-time deliveries that offer companies confidence
and reliability. Customers will only choose a service if it offers a wide range of delivery
options. TRACKON COURIER services many areas in India and now beyond through. Efficient
logistics management, though efficient packaging that includes the intersection of cost
and quality, is a major differentiator for TRACKON COURIER. Due to efficient logistics management,
it has gained a lot of trust from its customers and at the same time generates profitable
revenue from its operations. Depending on criticality, customers are charged different
prices. Loyalty is also maintained if these premium prices match the quality of service,
i.e. on-time delivery is always promised and offered by TRACKON COURIER. The downstream
process is the Star Model. Delivery follows the Hub-star model, where all parcels are
delivered to a hub and then transported to nearby locations. So TRACKON COURIER focuses on
providing safe and cost-effective services that are reliable for customers.

Segmentation:
Segmentation helps to understand the different groups of customer groups and their
different characteristics in the population. The Trackon courier arrow uses a geographic
segmentation strategy.
Increasing competitiveness
Market expansion
Customer retention
Targeting:
Deciding on a targeting strategy is the next step from performing segmentation. Where
segmentation segments the entire market, targeting only tracks individual segments.
Targeting then creates plans to acquire customers in that segment. Targeting is essentially
a subset of segmentation.
Positioning:
It has positioned itself as the leading courier and integrated air express package
distribution company in South Asia. The company uses a positioning strategy based on
values and benefits for users.

lOMoARcPSD|48320606

service. Before making a purchase decision, customers collect and Interpretation package
information that influences how they scene the package and its service. TRACKON COURIER provide
on time delivery.

Survey
Those good customer satisfaction surveys. When sent to various touchpoints, they not
only show you care, but help you clearly state what needs to change to improve the
customer experience. Survey Monkey is a top online survey tool. It's used to create
surveys for just about anything, which makes it a pretty flexible tool—though it can still
be pretty basic. I mean, the free version doesn't give you a lot of customization flexibility,
but it's still pretty good for one-off surveys.
|
lOMoARcPSD|48320606
Online communities like the ones you can create with Community Cloud allow your
customers to talk to other customers, provide package feedback, and share their opinions
about your package or service. They enable your customers to find their own solutions
and help each other – giving them full control over their customer support experience.
Additionally, Trackon courier can monitor the community to improve your packages and
customer service
Social Media:
social media is an essential tool for all businesses regardless of your size. But they have
to actively take care of it! According to Salesforce, these days "an inactive social media
profile is the online version of an empty store." You need to build a social media presence
and use it every day to interact with your customers, post useful content, and promptly
respond to their questions or concerns.
SMS service:
If your customer has chosen (very important!) to receive SMS text support, you can
provide them with tracking information for their shipment or conveniently close customer
service cases via mobile phone. It is much faster and easier, because SMS messages reach
the customer immediately.
Mobile Apps:
Nowadays, we all use our Smartphones to shop. According to Salesforce, 50% of mobile
users choose to use a customer service app to solve their problem before jumping on the
phone. This is because the apps are completely optimized for mobile use and provide
quick and easy usage.
|
lOMoARcPSD|48320606
Live Chat:
A live chat option like the one offered in Salesforce Service Cloud is another great tool to
give your customers a better experience. They are fast, familiar (we all use Facebook
messenger or Whatsapp) and easy to use. You can embed a chat box on your website that
will pop up asking if your customer has any questions or problems about your package or
shipment service. Then one of your customer service representatives will receive a
notification to offer the customer the help they requested.
TRACKON COURIER provide a satisfied shipment of parcel to consumer. You are upset that you do
not know the status of the submitted documents. You will end up calling the courier
service and asking them when the 'Proof of Delivery' (POD) will arrive as you need to be
sure that everything that was sent has arrived at its destination. Now TRACKON COURIER Express
Ltd promises to cure you of these conventional troubles .
This means that TRACKON COURIER professionals will monitor the exact status of their clients'
various shipments every day, especially air cargo services, which is one of the main
offerings where the company generates significant volumes of business. In this field, the
company may encounter imperatives such as flight delays due to bad weather conditions
or other special circumstances that may lead to significant concerns and worries among
the target customers. Rather, this is because the delivery of these shipments would be
essential to the efficient operation of their own independent end businesses. In such cases,
the team within the company will monitor the specific geographical areas where they are
located. the problem persists through the internal technology tool and other aligned
systems that have been initiated by the enterprise. The company will also personally
communicate with customers and explain the exact reasons for the delay along with when
the cargo will be delivered.
The company has also created key account teams that are made up of professionals from
different business functions. This would include IT and marketing professionals to name
a few.
|
lOMoARcPSD|48320606
In addition, the moment the company discovers that there are certain areas where
customer service delivery is not in line with the standards set by the organization, the
whole team gets down to analyzing the problem. This is done to determine where exactly
the company needs to move forward.

environmental threats, and customer needs points to important guidelines for
strategy design. Michelin's experience demonstrates the importance of evaluating
competitors, understanding buyer preferences and monitoring environmental
threats when formulating a marketing strategy. Business Horizons / September-
October 1986”.
4. Hart & Stapleton 1977: “A statement in very general terms of how the marketing
objectives is to be achieved, e.g. acquiring becomes the basis of the marketing
plan. Marketing objectives are actionable goals designed to provide not only
overall direction but also clear and specific actions. They are specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant and time-based. The most effective marketing strategies are
those that are targeted to a specific audience, focused on key benefits based on the
audience's perspective and interests, and delivered at the appropriate time”.
6. Novak & Simco 1991: “The supply chain management covers the flow of goods
from supplier trough manufacturer and distributor to the end-user. The Interaction
Lifecycle provides a comprehensive overview of the various stages of sourcing,
purchasing and managing a supplier relationship. With a clear view of the
|
lifecycle, actions such as changing suppliers or ending a supplier relationship are
already prepared during initial sourcing and negotiations”.
7. " Scott & Westbrook 1991: Supply chain is used to refer to the chain connecting
each element of the process from the raw material to the end customer. The supply
chain concept has become a challenge due to global competition and increasing
customer demand for value as companies seek to improve their industrial
performance in terms of cost, delay, adaptability, variety and traceability. So
information must be available in real time throughout the supply chain and this
cannot be achieved without an integrated supply chain management software
system. Supply chain members must collaborate and share information to improve
customer satisfaction”.
Where to compete.
|
How to compete, that is, it requires a means for competing.
When to compete, that is, it requires timing of market entry.
“In its strategic role, marketing focuses in a business’s intentions in a market and
the means and timing of realizing those intentions. The strategic role of marketing is quite
different from marketing management which deals with developing, implementing and
directing program to achieve designated intentions. To clearly differentiate between
marketing management and marketing inits new role, a term –strategic marketing –has
been coined to represent the letter”.
9. Handfield & Nichols 1999: ‘ A supply chain encompasses all activities associated
with the flow and transformation of goods from the raw material stage, trough to
the end user, as well as the associated information flows. The purpose of this
study is to investigate the level of integration between supply chain members in
moving toward the adoption of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). A
descriptive research design based on a cross-sectional survey was used to achieve
this objective”.
10. Das Prasun, 2009 : “The literature on customer satisfaction is extensive and
covers several fields such as marketing, management and accounting. For
example, a number of articles use the American Customer Satisfaction Index
(ACSI) to study customer satisfaction at the corporate, industry, and
macroeconomic levels. This paper focuses only on customer satisfaction studies
that are related to retail and does not review the literature that studies the design
of satisfaction survey instruments because there is no control over the survey
design. The basic tenet of this research stream is that higher service quality
improves customer satisfaction, which leads to better financial performance,
although the mechanisms by which this improvement occurs differ”.
|
11. Oliver 1981 : “Describes in his study that customer satisfaction is a part marketing
and play a significant role in the market. Satisfaction in every organization
customer is more important because if your customer is satisfied with your
services or products, your market position will be good. In the old days, the
customer satisfaction was not very important and people did not focus on quality.
But now the daily competition is taught and the customer knows about all the
products and society because of education and learning environment and this is
the reason why every business is interested in correctly fulfilling the needs and
wishes of customers. For all types of business organizations, customer satisfaction
is the greatest important topic and considered the most reliable feedback for
excellence of any kind business organization”.
13. Kurniawan 2010 : “ Customer satisfaction can change over time; it is a dynamic
process. Individual perception of product or service performance leads to
customer satisfaction. In today's retail business, ensuring customer satisfaction by
providing the right products and services to the end users is a major concern for
the future growth of the organization. In this study, an attempt is made to find out
|
customer satisfaction while shopping in retail stores on the basis of customer
survey”.
15. Veloutsou 2005: “This distinction between tangible and intangible goods becomes
different drivers of customer satisfaction and should therefore be treated
separately and differently. Creating satisfied consumers has become one of the
most important priorities in management. In most definitions of the marketing
discipline and marketing orientation, consumer satisfaction is cited as a key
concern. This emphasis is likely to continue due to increasing globalization,
competition and the rise of relationship marketing”.

Introduction:
A research methodology is a way of explaining how the researcher intends to
conduct his research. It is a logical, systematic plan to solve a research problem.
Methodology details the researcher's approach to research to ensure reliable and valid
results that match their aims and objectives.
A good research methodology always explains the procedure, objective and scope
of the research question. This leads to a well-organized approach based on rationality,

Important
To being with, as part of the curriculum a “Project work & Report” program was
to be conducted for a period of 4 weeks.
As my interest and curiosity was in marketing Strategies in Logistics, I choose to
work with an one of the India’s Largest Logistic company named TRACKON COURIER
Express.
I choose TRACKON COURIER Express company because with this company I can explore
myself Because, of its Brand Name.
The Marketing Strategy is a very essential to the growth of the company along
with the study of Customer Satisfaction. Due to this Project and Report, I have
learnt every aspect of marketing Strategies, Customer Expectation and Logistics
Process.
Limitation
Almost all companies maintain some degree of secrecy. There was a reluctance to
provide information and feedback on company strategies and even financial data
to outsiders.
To overcome this deficiency, information from secondary sources was required.
These sources have been checked to ensure their authenticity is not
misrepresented. The number of visits was made to procure one appointment.
Since only some samples were taken for the study, generalizations made to the
entire population may not be true.

The study is aimed at small businesses and therefore adoption of Trackon courier
Express by businesses and individuals was not included in the study as they are
the main source of revenue for TRACKON COURIER Express.
But I have made an honest effort to make this project useful to everyone who
reads it.
