Customer satisfaction is the ultimate marketing goal to be achieved by utilizing marketing tools. To achieve this goal organizations usually do segmentation of their markets in order to best serve the needs of their customers. In this regard customers can be grouped in two unequal size segments: Business Consumers Personal use Consumers ChenOne is targeting both customers. This segmentation is done on four broader bases: Demographics Psychographics Geographic Behavioral The advantages of segmentation are as follows: Precise Market Definition Analysis of Competition Response to Changing Market Needs Efficient Resource Allocation Effective Strategic Planning ChenOne use to segment its market on the Demographics basis on the priority basis. Their segmentation is based on: Income Social Class Second base is Psychographics, which includes: Personality: sophisticated ChenOne has targeted both Business Customers and Land Lords as well as both come of from high-income category.

Marketing Mix and Strategies

In this context we have to explore 7 Ps because ChenOne is basically a service provider, so these Ps of marketing mix are as follows: Product Price Place Promotion These are the traditional 4 Ps but in service firms there are 3 additional Ps associated in Marketing Mix, which are: People Place Process

Services
ChenOne is providing following services: Interior Consultancy After-Sale Services Interior Consultancy Special attention has been given to the interior and layout for each outlet. The display, shelving and lighting is unique for each store. The home section displays products portraying trendy bedrooms with all possible matching accessories. To make shopping decisions easier, interior consultants are available for assistance. Customers can seek advice from these consultants to get new ideas or information regarding new materials and products. Interior consultancy service is absolutely free. Customers can also use the services of interior consultants outside the store in reference to their home. This department handles complete interior decor projects. Samples of completed projects are available on request. In this context ChenOne has recently renovated the President Musharafs house and houses of Nazim and Naib-Nazim of Multan. After-Sale Services After sale services mainly include the Complaint Handling Warranty Claims Usually this is the case with furniture where ChenOne is usually providing Warranty of 6 months. But if customers who have purchased garments brought the faulty one within Marketing Mix 20

seven days of purchase ChenOne will provide the alternative or fix the problem with no fee.

2. Price
The strategies related to Price are clear. ChenOne is charging a flat rate on all of their products. Like the range of their sofa sets varies from Rs.80000 to Rs.1400000. Also their bed sheets range from Rs.5000 to Rs.10000. Their prices are set at highest rate, this is because, according to their management our customers belong to Upper-Upper class and most of them are rich people ranging from Land lords to business persons. These people usually seek to shop at the place where prices are high and show the status symbol. Another reason is that ChenOne itself does Value Addition to the products. So they are of the view that we provide total value-added, high quality products, hence charging premium prices. ChenOne introduces discount ranging from 10 to 50% almost every year two times. This is so because at the start of every winter season the new design is introduced and same thing is done when summer season started. When they introduced new design all the old stuff obsoletes. So just to increase their turnover almost by 20 to 25% more than the regular times ChenOne introduces discount series and discount strategy is being followed at every outlet in Pakistan. There is no bargaining allowed either at their center. Prices are fixed and tagged on the products along with ChenOne brand name. Also there is a discount available to the members of the Prestige Club. Following two strategies are being followed: Membership is for one year, after that it has to be renewed. If these members made a purchase of Rs.10000 in a year then they are given discount of 10%. If these members made a purchase of Rs.25000 or more than their membership is freely renewed for the next year. For ChenOne at present there is no problem regarding price competition just because of their target market, so the price objectives are to maintain their Status Quo.

3. Place
ChenOne is using Exclusive Placement Strategy. Normally it appears to have only one store in a city. But this concept is not true because they Chenab Limited also open more than one store in high-density areas like Lahore. But still their strategy remains exclusive. The reason is that within high-density areas they have divided that area into 2-3 large areas with respect to their customers and used only one store in those areas. Currently ChenOne is operating in: Lahore Islamabad Karachi Rawalpindi Rahim Yar Khan Multan Abottabad Peshawar Faisalabad Also ChenOne is operating abroad: Dubai Ajman Makkah Bahrain

4. Promotion
Now a days it is imperative for any company to promote its products heavily. This can be done in many ways like Sales Promotion, Advertising, Publicity, and Personal Selling. But Advertising is playing an important role in promotion as companies are allocating a heavy budget for the advertisements for their products. ChenOne is not using Broadcast as a medium, they are heavily relying on Cable service providers for their promotion, the reason is that they want their message to reach only to their target market, or in other words they want to increase their reach. Also management wants to reduce the clutter. Following are the basic ways for the promotion of ChenOne: News letters Brochures Catalogs Magazines (Specially Fashion Mags) Ads on cable Banners Events The last point is very important. CheonOne is using the strategy of conducting Fashion Shows in the areas where the management is interested in opening the outlet. In Multan they used the same strategies for 3 years and by conducting such shows they gathered the demographics of their will be customers. Once it became clear that Multan is the area where they can target business persons and cover the area of lower Punjab, management decided to open outlet in Multan. Also by conducting events like night shows, club nights they also promote their new products to their customers. Also ChenOne is using the service of TCS in order to deliver their News Letters and brochures to the business persons directly. Marketing Mix 23

Ad Agency The advertising agency of ChenOne is Evernew Concept, which is located at Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta.

5. People
Most of the services are provided by the people (employees). It is important for the any company to: a. Select b. Train c. Motivate their employees because this will make a huge difference in customer satisfaction. Better-trained persons exhibit 6 characteristics: a. Competency b. Credibility c. Reliability d. Responsiveness e. Courtesy f. Communication In this regard ChenOne has a skilled workforce available. In Multan they have 16 workers.

6. Place
The interior and exterior of the outlet should give the impression to the visitor that this place is of some standard and that he is putting his foot in right place. Customers perceives about the service and its quality through Place, people and other things. The idea chosen in Multan by ChenOne is the ChenOne Tower, located at Abdali Road. The outlook of the Tower is really amazing and draws the attention of by-passer. Also the parking facility is provided in base ground and is really upto international standards. The interior of the store is also self-speaking and gives an impression to their customers about their choice. Different sections are made and two stories are dedicated for this purpose. Rest of the building will be given on rent to interesting parties. Sections are well Marketing Mix 24

decorated and samples are also shown in front of the section that really adds to their appeal. Sections are labeled as well like if pants are to be bought then customer can find them in Mens wear section and they are arranged in order of 30 to 36.

7. Process
When customers enter the outlet, they will find a consultant at each section. When they want to buy a product say a Bed Sheet, they will bring that sheet at the counter. ChenOne is using the powerful computerized system. All the retail outlets are connected with their center via the computer system. Chenab Group has signed an agreement with ACCPAC to deploy their Enterprise Resource Planning modules in their business. In this context Chenab Group has another project like ChenOne that is ChenSoft. At counter the employee will fill the details of the order in the computer software, a copy of which will be sent to the headquarter immediately and another copy will be kept safe at local center and print out will be taken. Customer will sign that bill and another copy is also safe. The purpose of sending order information to headquarter is that the timely delivery of the products will be made sure and no stock out occurs.

Customers came to know about ChenOne largely from their promotion through Banners and then by Catalogue and News Letters that were mailed to them. Customers largely purchase garments from ChenOne followed by the Bed Sheets. Customers have a mix response regarding their visit to other stores in Multan. This is also true because at ChenOne not complete variety of different product lines is available so still these customers have to visit other stores to make their purchases. 75% customers responded that they have visited ChenOne in other cities. This thing shows the correct decision made by the management to open a retail outlet in Multan.
