Caselet 1
Mr. Deepak Mathur founded a small radio manufacturing plant in Noida in the 1980s. From this small
start   came   one   of   the   nation’s   largest   radios,   television, and allied products companies. By 1995, its
sales approached Rs. 150 crores annually, with 15,000 employees and 10 manufacturing locations.
Throughout its growth, Mr. Mathur remained the active, imaginative, and driving force of this company.
In earlier days every manager and worker knew him, and he was able to call most of them by their first
names, so even after the company grew fairly large, people felt that they knew the founder and chief
executive, and their strong feeling of personal loyalty had much to do with the fact that the company
was never unionized.
However,   as   the   company   prospered   and   grew,   Mr.   Mathur   worried   that   it   was   losing   its   “smallcompany”
   spirit.   He   also   felt   that   communications   were   suffering,   that   his   objectives   and   philosophy 
were not being understood in the company, that much wasteful duplication was occurring through poor
knowledge of what others in the company were doing, and that new-product development and
marketing were suffering as a result. Likewise, he was concerned that he had lost with the people. In
order to solve the communication problem, he ensured that several communication devices were
installed. He put into effect communication device he found other companies using: bulletin boards in
every office and manufacturing plant throughout the country; a revitalized company newspaper carrying
much   company  and   personal   news   affecting   all   locations;”Company   Facts   Books”   for   every   employee, 
giving significant information about their company; regular profit-sharing letters; monthly one-day
meetings at headquarters for the top 100 executives; annual three-day meetings of 1200 managers of all
levels at a resort area; and a large number of special committees to discuss company matters. After
much time, effort and expense, Mr. Mathur was disappointed to find that the problem of
communication  and  of  the  “small-company”  feeling  still  existed  and  that  the  results  of  his  programs  did 
not seem to be significant.
Questions:
1. What  do  you  see  as  the  company’s  real  communication  problem?
2. What would you suggest to improve communication in the company?

The latest trends have resulted in new innovative ways of promotion through the mobile phones. The
latest addition to the numerous ways of marketing and designing effective ads in mobile phones is ecouping.
E-Couping has become a rage among the advertisers as well as the users. Here, wireless users
are provided with, for example, a 20 percent off-coupon offer on a DVD player. And the results are very
encouraging. US Mobile Message Markets report says that this industry segment generated revenues of
$571 million in 2000 and is projected to surpass $5 billion by 2007. Almost 86 percent of the people

surveyed favored a trade-off for receiving advertisements on their mobile phones in markets across UK,
Europe and the US. More than 88 percent of the people expressed their enthusiasm to e-couping, which
could   be   reimbursed   at   the   stores   nearby.   The   four   key   factors   important   to   consumers’   acceptance: 
Choice – being able to decide whether or not to receive messages; control-being able to bypass sale
messages easily; customization-being able to filter the types of messages received; and mutual benefitgetting
something back in return a reduction in the cost of services for example
Spending on mobile Content
Europe, 2001-2006
Year Spending
2001 $590
2002 $860
2003 $1,407
2004 $2,233
2005 $2,2915
2006 $3,280
A study by Forrester Research in conjunction with the Federation of European Direct Marketing
(FEDMA) found that SMS can reach two-thirds of 250 million European mobile phone owners. According
to the Forrester study, 21 percent of the 250 direct marketers surveyed online use SMS at least
occasionally, 12 percent have tried it and 5 percent plan regular SMS use in 2003. The advantage of SMS
marketing is that, unlike e-mail marketing, it offers three types of campaigns-one off push campaigns for
awareness building; one-off pull campaigns for promotion; and continued dialogue for customer
retention. One-time pull campaigns average 13 percent response rates, which outperform phone and
mail alternatives, according to Forrester.
According   to   Jupiter   MMXI,   European   consumers   will   spend   €3.3   billion   for   content   on   their   mobile 
phones  by  2006  compared  to  €1.7  billion  for  content  on  their  PCs.  Mobile  phones  offer  a  much  better 
billing platform than the PC. In 2001, €590  million  was  spent  by  Europeans  for  content  on  their  mobile 
phones,  such  as  ring  tones,  logos,  sports  scores  and  stock  prices.  This  is  almost  twice  the  €252  million 
spent   on   the   PC.   “Increasing   use   of   Short   Messaging   Service   on   mobile   phones   is   good   news for the
media industry. Newspapers and magazines struggling to generate direct consumer revenues from their
websites  have  more  opportunity  to  charge  for  content  on  mobile  phones,  “said  Jupiter  MMXI’s  Olivier 
Beau  villain.  “They  should  use  their  Web  presence as a way to promote mobile content with which they
will  be  able  to  generate  more  revenues.”
Question:
1. On the basis of above case explain how to advertise and market your Product through SMS?
2. Give the detailed advantages of advertising & marketing the products through Short Messaging
Services (SMS).
