 COMPANY PROFILE

The LG Electronics Life's Good signature consists of the LG

logo, seal, and the slogan, "Life's Good" set in Charlotte sans
typeface curved around the LG symbol. The curving of the
slogan reinforces LG's personality and uniqueness. The
consistent usage of this signature clearly establishes the
unique identity of the company and unifies every division and
product from LG Electronics across the globe.
LG Electronics chooses to promote harmony and build
constructively on a labor-management relationship rather than
an employee-employer relationship. This illustrates that
management and workers are not in a vertical relationship, but
in a horizontal one. This culture is necessary for LG
Electronics as it strives to become one of the world's top
companies. Such a relationship is transformed into a value-
creation relationship whereby both parties endeavor to address
mutual problems and create new values together.
LG Electronics is striving to become number one in the world
by mingling in various business and technological fields and
making strategic alliances with world famous companies.
"Strategic association between corporations," in which
companies with different infrastructures cooperate in the fast-
developing 21st century business field, is of key significance
in terms of strengthening the existing industry and creating a
new one.
 HISTORY OF COMPANY
The company was originally established in 1958 as Gold Star,
producing radios, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and
air conditioners. The LG Group was a merger of two Korean
companies, Lucky and Gold Star, from which the abbreviation
of LG was derived. The current "Life's good" slogan is a
backronym. Before the corporate Name change to LG,
household products were sold under the Brand name of
Lucky, while electronic products were sold under the brand
name of Gold Star. The Gold Star brand is still perceived as a
discount brand. In 1995, Gold Star was renamed LG
Electronics, and acquired Zenith Electronics of the United
States.

LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of

LG Electronics, South Korea was established in January 1997
after clearance from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board
(FIPB). LG set up a state-of-the art manufacturing facility at
Greater Noida, near Delhi, in 1998, with an investment of Rs
500 Crs. LG corporate office is located at Plot no.51, Udyog

across the country, of which 45 are shoppes and 38 are
exclusive stores. Brand shoppes will be placed in the premium
segment and the target audience will comprise buyers
interested in premium and high end products.
LG Brand Shoppe goes beyond the concept of a normal
exclusive store by having a more interactive environment and
additional lifestyle orientation on display so that the customer

cent in 2008. Moon Bum Shin, managing director of LG
Electronics India has said that the company has earmarked 4.8
billion rupees for investment purpose in India this year. The
said money will be used to market as well as manufacture new
products.

LG Electronics, which is originally a South Korean Company

with branch in India, informed that its sales of GSM mobile
phones, color televisions, air conditioners and other household
goods in the Indian market was to the tune of 95 billion rupees
($2.4 billion) in 2007.

 CUSTOMER SERVICE

The best and the biggest international brands are here in India
–but the irony if it all: where is the after-sales-service? So
integral to a brand, so critical for its success and so taken for
granted in developed markets! In India, after sales service is,
for want of a better description, the pits. So what‟s stopping
the best companies from pulling out all the stops when it
comes to providing the best service? Do customers expect for
too much? Or is it that in India they don‟t really care. Brand
Equity fanned out to MNC as well as Indian consumer durable
companies, stockiest and dealers, analysts and market
researchers to get a feel of what‟s really keeping after sales
from being used as a cutting edge marketing tool in pushing
products across categories.

Customers support following the purchase of a product or

service. In some cases, after-sales service can be almost as
important as the initial purchase. The manufacturer, retailer,
or service provider determines what is included in any
warranty (or guarantee) package. This will include the
duration of the warranty traditionally one year from the date
of purchase, but increasingly two or more year‟s maintenance
and/or replacement policy, items included/excluded, labor
costs, and speed of response. In the case of a service provider,
after-sales service might include additional training or
helpdesk availability. Of equal importance is the customer's
perception of the degree of willingness with which a supplier
deals with a question or complaint, speed of response, and
action taken.
LG also had a big problem of after sale service in India.
During my project I also came to know that after sale service
becomes the big issue in Pune region. Customers as well as
dealer were facing the problem of after sale service. Because
of this problem many dealer in Pune region were not ready to
sale LG product. So it becomes the big issue. But LG has
taken some solid steps towards improving customer‟s
perception and experience of after sales service. Because it
very important in competitive market to provide the best
service. L G Electronics has signed a memorandum of
understanding with 23 Industrial Training Institutes to
strengthen its after sales service in India. The company aims
to recruit 10,000 people by the end of this year as a part of its
branding strategy to focus on service and move away from
discounting. L G Electronics has identified eight states with
high after sales service call rates to ink the deals with the ITI.
Y V Verma, director HR and management system, LG
Electronics said, "The Company was trying to find a solution
for effective after sales service since last two years. There is a
huge need of trained manpower for the after sales service to
align with the company's expansion and focus on the GSM
mobiles and the personal computer segments."
 MARKETING STRATEGY
Here is the detail of marketing mix of LG including its
product, distribution, pricing and promotional strategy.

LG PRODUCT LINE:- Since its initial years in India. LG has

focused on bringing out new models regularly in its product
range. In its 1st year of operation in India,
LG launched 70 models across a range of products. In 1997,it
introduce its Golden Eye Technology TV, which had a light
sensitive natural algorithm “eye” .
The “eye” respondent to the changes in lighting in the room
accordingly and adjusted color sharpness, brightness,
contrasts, tint & balance them automatically.

Thus, LG showed that it cared for customers ‘health through

its product. LG concern for health of customers was its unique
selling proposition (USP) in the Indian Consumer durables
market. Similarly, LG positioned its refrigerators as the
‘preserve nutrition system’ refrigerators. In 1998, the
company launched air condition as Health Air ACs.
 PRICING STRATEGY

When LG started its operation in 1997, it sold product that

were imported. Hence, its products were priced high and were
equivalent to other foreign (Japanese ) products.
Industry analysts felt that this strategy was adopted To make
local consumer feel that LG products were by no means
inferior to japaness products in performance or quality .
However , in 1998, LG launched sampoorna its first low
priced TV for rural consumers and fallowed it with
CINEPLUS according to kim as the indian customer wanted
the best products at reasonable prices , LG started introducing
quality products in economy range In the first few years its
entry ,LG did not get into price wars . unlike other players ,it
did not offer any exchange schemes or discounts .

LG officials said that they believed in a ‘HONEST PRICING

POLICY” and its message to customers to read ‘NO
SCHEME,NO GIMMICK,GREAT PRODUCTS and
HONEST PRICE.
 PROMOTION
LG gave immense importance to its promotion and
advertising activities . in 2004, the company spent nearly RS.
1.3 billion (5% of its revenue ) towards advertising . analyst
commented that LG’s promotion and advertising of its durable
segment were similar to that of an FMCG company . unlike
many indian brands which advertised seasonally (2-3months
during festivals i.e. September, October and November) LG
advertised all round the year .

SCHEMES & FREE TRIALS

For customers, though, the direct approach is preferred. The
advantage of an extended distribution network is that
marketing executives can keep a finger on the pulse of the
market. Promotions and finance schemes are designed to suit
the needs of local customers. In a small town in Uttar Pradesh,
for instance, LG offered select households a free 15-day trial
of a 50-inch flat screen television during the cricket season.
The TV set costs close to Rs 100,000, but several families
took the bait and considered buying the TV -- at which point
the showroom staff offered them carefully planned finance
schemes. Of course, it's not just the finance schemes that are
tailormade. LG has been careful right from the start to offer
customers a "valueplus" proposition. LG recognised the need
points to a basic characteristic of Indian consumers: "They are
very price sensitive. They want the best quality at reasonable
prices." Accordingly, LG introduced its economy range in the
country, which would be "easily accepted".(Business
standard) The company was ready to do battle on two flanks:
it offered modern, features-packed products, at the same time
keeping its margins wafer-thin. Even competitors accept the
merit of the tactic. "LG has been a price warrior while
retaining its brand equity," and success is the result of hard
work and commitment. There's no miracle involved. The hard
work was on the features, which were carefully chosen -- and
adapted -- to appeal to Indian audiences. For instance, that
consumers in southwest India prefer big sounds and big bass
outputs.

NEW INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS

But that was in the past. "Economy" and "value-for-money"
are no longer going to be the cornerstones of LG's India
strategy. In the next five years the company will concentrate
on building itself as a premium brand, targeting 10 per cent of
its earnings from super-premium products. That includes
products like the Whisen range of wall-mounted air-
conditioners (Rs 50,000 and above), Dios refrigerators (Rs
65,000 and above) and X-canvas plasma TVs (Rs 100,000 and
above). LG has already set up 105 exclusive showrooms for
these products, with more in the pipeline. This year it will
spend upward of Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million) promoting the
super-premium sub-brands. "High-end products need high-end
outlays," (Business Standard). The challenge now will be to
integrate the new incumbent's working style with the existing
culture of the organization -- and work on the new marketing
strategy. If LG meets that head on, then, like its tagline says,
Life's Good.

FEEDBACK, SUGGESTIONS & ADAPTABILITY

Flexibility and adaptability have proved indispensable for LG
Electronics India, whether in the showrooms or on the shop
floor. At the Greater Noida unit, multi-product lines ensure
that in-demand products can be given priority in summers and
during the Diwali season, for instance, the line makes more
TV sets; during the winter, it switches to washing machines.
Of course, multiproduct lines come with their set of problems,
but LG encourages the shop floor workers to seek solutions at
their level.
Suggestions from workers on the shop floor have not just
helped improve productivity the line target is to increase TV
production from 2,600 sets to 4,000 a day, within the next
couple of months -- they've also helped in keeping costs
down,. Factory and customer service, the workers at LG are
better placed to offer suggestions on product improvements
because they're encouraged to experience life outside the
factory gates as well. Workers are routinely sent to do sales
stints at company showrooms and even to customers' homes
to service the products. This way workers on the line know
what problems the customers face and they also become more
involved with innovations on the line.
REPLACEMENT SCHEMES

LG also introduced a replacement scheme where customers

could bring in any durable or electronic product from any
brand and get them evaluated. Once the evaluation is done,
the customer will get a cash voucher which can be redeemed
on the purchase of any LG product within a time period of
three months. LG First initiative was aimed at making up
gradation for its customers easier, which is a very significant
phenomenon in mature markets. This scheme proved very
popular in the market where people wanted to upgrade but
considered price as a significant factor. This would also help
build brand loyalty within its customer base.
LG used varied marketing arsenals and unleashed different
campaigns for different consumers in varied media almost
simultaneously. For Indian consumers, it's a matter of product
quality, and brand recall owing to high decibel
communication which makes them repose faith in the top
brands. LG has followed that message and wove messages
over multiple media channels, blurring the lines between ads
and entertainment. They have worked to make their brand
messages so enjoyable that consumers have seen them as
entertainment instead of an intrusion. One good example is
the nature of ICC Cricket sports sponsorship and Cricket
world cup 2007 LG has associated with in India. Cricket is
most viewed sport event in India and religiously tracked by a
larger population in TV or print media. According to its top
management, this association has provided wide brand
exposure to LG in this ambush marketing campaign.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
LG is aggressively working towards lifestyle research and to
make it aspiration brand. A lot of investment is being pumped
into consumer understanding and New positioning Statement-
LG strives to enhance the customer‘s life (and lifestyle) with
intelligent features, intuitive functionality, and exceptional
performance. Choosing LG is a form of selfexpression and
self-satisfaction. Our customer will take pride in owning the
amazing and take comfort in knowing he/she made a smart,
informed decision. A lot of investment is being pumped into
consumer understanding and lifestyle behavior. It is
repositioning itself by adding sheen to its designs, aesthetics
and the product line to suit the new age consumers.
These high-end products not only provide the right technology
but also suit the new age lifestyles of Indian consumer. Under
this new strategy, as an example, it introduced its premium
range plasma television Scarlet‘ and high-end washing
machines Steam Tromm and Top Loader to woo new age
consumers. To communicate the premium brand and make a
differentiation, company has come out with a brand new
communication for its entire home appliance range, breaking
away from its health platform, which was conceptualized in
1997. The campaign for new `Health Plus' for the home
appliances range will focus on intelligent and futuristic
technology under the "Intello'' umbrella. The company also
plans to enter newer categories such as air purifiers, wine
cellars and built-in kitchens as a part of its expansion in India.

PRICE
Price is determined by a number of factors including market
share, competition, material costs, product identity and the
customer's perceived value of the product. LG already being
one of the leading brands in India and established quality in
terms of products and services has an advantage in setting up
premium price. It would also gain from the high end
consumers who are willing to spend more for a differentiated
and intelligent product as LG plans to roll out in its digital
innovations.

PROMOTION
Instead of pushing sales as it had been doing in the last
decade, LG now focus on creating a pull or demand. It has
moved away from discounts and moving towards high-tech
innovation and good customer services as the focus. More
trade promotions like exhibitions, trade magazines would be
used. The idea is not to dilute the brand equity by offering
discount but creating a buzz in the mind of customers about
the new product and invite them to be a part of ‗the new
technology‘. The same marketing communication of high end
user experience and functional benefits (i.e. digital, easy to
use, intra-connectivity) can be conveyed in the advertising
message on television as well as print media. Use of
billboards and event sponsorship is also an effective way to
introduce the awareness of new products Replacing the
traditional four P's of marketing -- product, price, place and
promotion, LG India has designed its marketing mix to
improve the four A's -- affordability, awareness, availability
and acceptability. Its state of the art and massive production
facilities allowed innovation on manufacturing to introduce
products at low price points. It has customized promotional
strategies for rural markets meeting local requirements. For
example, to improve product acceptance, LG Electronics
developed a customized TV (cheap and capable of picking up
low-intensity signals) for the rural markets and christened it
‘Sampoorna‘. It sold 100,000 sets in the first year.

REGIONAL CHANNEL STRATEGY AND WIDE

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
LG has adopted the regional distribution model in India. All
the distributors work directly with the company. This has
resulted in quicker rotation of stocks, and better penetration
into the B, C, and D class markets. LG also follows the
strategy of stock rotation, rather than dumping stocks on
channel partners. LG has over 46 branch offices and another
110 area offices across the country. LG had set a target of
developing 2,000 dealers in 2004, in addition to the existing
3,000 dealers all over India. Leveraging the India Advantag

 METHDOLOGY

Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the

project. Without a proper well-organized research plan, it
is impossible to complete the project and reach to any
conclusion. The project was based on the survey plan. The
main objective of survey was to collect appropriate data,
which work as a base for drawing conclusion and getting
result. Therefore, research methodology is the way to
systematically solve the research problem.

Research methodology not only talks of the methods but

also logic behind the methods used in the context of a
research study and it explains why a particular method has
been used in the preference of the other methods Research
design: Research design is important primarily because of
the increased complexity in the market as well as
marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact,
it is the key to the evolution of successful marketing
strategies and programmers. It is an important tool to study
buyer’s behavior, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and
focus market changes.

A research design specifies the methods and procedures for

conducting a particular study. According to Kerlinger,
“Research Design is a plan, conceptual structure, and
strategy of investigation conceived as to obtain answers to
research questions and to control variance.
The type of research adopted for study is descriptive.
Descriptive studies are undertaken in many circumstances
when the researches is interested to know the characteristic
of certain group such as age, sex, education level,
occupation or income. A descriptive study may be
necessary in cases when a researcher is interested in
knowing the proportion of people in a given population
who have in particular manner, making projections of a
certain thing, or determining the relationship between two
or more variables. The objective of such study is to answer
the “who, what, when, where and how” of the subject

descriptive studies are factual and very simple. This is not
necessarily true. Descriptive study can be complex,
demanding a high degree of scientific skill on part of the
researcher.

study needs to be flexible in its approach, but a descriptive
study in contrast tends to be rigid and its approach cannot
be changed every now and then. It is therefore necessary,
the researcher give sufficient thought to framing research.
