Customer Satisfactions:

The extent to which a product’s perceived performance matches with buyer’s expectations. If the product’s performance falls short of expectations, the buyer is dissatisfied. It the performance matches or exceeds expectations, the buyer is satisfied or delighted (Principles of Marketing 13^th edition, Philip Kotlar & Gary Armstrong).

Customer satisfaction is the extent to which a product or service’s perceived performance matches a buyer’s expectations. If the product or service’s performance falls short of expectations, the buyer is dissatisfied.

If performance matches or exceeds expectations, the buyer is satisfied or delighted.

Expectations are based on customers past buying experiences, the opinion of friends and associates, and marketer and competitor information and promises. Marketer must be careful to set the right level of expectations. If they set expectations too low, they may satisfy those who buy but fail to attract enough buyers. In contrast, if they raise expectations too high buyers are likely to be disappointed. Dissatisfaction can arise either from a decrease in product and service quality or from an increase in customer expectations. In either case, it presents an opportunity for companies that can deliver superior customer value and satisfaction.

Channel Differentiation:

Companies can achieve through the way they design their distribution channels coverage, expertise and performance. Caterpillar’s success in the constructing equipment industry is based partly on superior channel development. Its dealers are found in more locations than competitors’ dealers, and they are typically better trained and perform more reliably.

Channels:

A number of alternate ‘channels’ of distribution may be available:

1. Distributor, who sells to retailers
2. Retailer (also called dealer or reseller), who sells to end customers
3. Advertisement typically used for consumption goods

Analysis and Findings

4. Analysis and Findings

4.1 Marketing mix:

An effective marketing program blends all of the marketing mix elements into a coordinated program designed to achieve the company’s marketing objectives by delivering value to consumers. The marketing mix constitutes the company’s tactical tool kit for establishing strong positioning in target markets.

Product: Product means the goods & services combination the company offers to the target market. For Grameen distribution Ltd. The products are all kind of Nokia handset and batteries for particular Nokia handset.

Price: Price is the amounts of money customers have to pay to obtain the product. The prices of Nokia handset are set by Nokia.

Place: As above, turn the standard logic around. Think convenience of the buying experience and then relate that to a delivery mechanism. Consider all possible definitions of “convenience” as it relates to satisfying the consumer’s wants and needs. Convenience may include aspects of the physical or vertical location, access case, transaction service time and hours of availability. So the distribution channels of the Nokia handsets should be in such place which would be very much convenience to purchase the product for the users.

• Distribution channel of RDS point:
• Distribution channel of corporate client:
• Distribution Channel of ultimate customer:

Promotion: Promotion means activities that communicate the merit of the product & persuade target customers to buy it. Nokia is renowned multinational handset company. Nokia the name itself is a symbol of quality and reliability. Grameen Distribution Ltd (GDL) itself is doing very little promotional activates for the products. Grameen Distribution Ltd. has a remarkable contribution in the process of promotional activities. The ASM, the TSO ant the Marketing department of Grameen Distribution Ltd. is taking part in this respect. The principle firm (Nokia) of these products is handling this promotional side. The principal firm is using some promotional strategy.

Promotional Strategy:

1. Advertising: TV, newspapers, magazines.

2. Sales promotion: Gift, discount, free.

3. Public Relation: Press release, product demonstration, and mobile mela.

4. Internet marketing: website, image, make inquiries, respond to question.

From the overall market survey on “Customer satisfaction over GDL distribution channel”, I found there is an opportunity to spread their distribution channel and increase their sales in Dhaka city. In Bangladesh, there are many branding mobile phone. So, competitors are more conscious and the customers are very suspicious about selecting a product. In this situation, if
