24. Marketing Objectives
Decrease customer acquisition costs by 8% per year.
Increase repeat customers or referrals by 3% per
quarter.
Generate brand equity, quantified by an increase in
service requests based solely on Portland Mobile Auto
Inspectors' name.
Financial Objectives
A double digit growth rate for the first four years.
Experience a decrease in the variable costs associated
with serving each inspection by 3% a year.
Maintain steady, positive, growth every month.
TargetMarketing
Portland Mobile Auto Inspectors' target customer will be a used car buyer, typically looking for a car over
Rs.5000. The used car buyer purchasing a car below Rs.5000 typically is looking just for a type of
transportation and is not all that concerned with the possible problems that might affect the vehicle. In
general they accept the fact that for under Rs.5000 there are going to be many different things wrong
with the car and they are not willing to pay someone to tell them ./
25. PMAI's customer is buying a used car for one of two reasons:
They cannot afford what they want in a new vehicle, or
They recognize the value that they gain by purchasing a
used car.
This value is generated by the fact that a new car will
depreciate the most, 20%, within the first year. It makes
sense to allow the car to depreciate on someone else other
than yourself. This is of course based on the logic that you
have the used car inspected so all afflictions are known to
you at the time of purchase. Beyond pointing out any
problems, the inspection can also indicate how the car was
driven over its life, was it babied or beaten.
The target customer has typically done their research and
narrowed down their search to a few different vehicles.
They have looked at the car and found that it meets their
needs. The last step is to make sure the car is in good
condition.
26. Positioning
Portland Mobile Auto Inspectors will position itself as a
convenient, professional alternative to car inspections that
occur during normal business hours at a mechanic's shop.
People that work during normal business hours (when the
mechanics are open) will truly appreciate this new,
convenient alternative. PMAI will leverage their competitive
edge to achieve this positioning.
Portland Mobile Auto Inspectors' competitive edge is its
level of expertise and the thoroughness of the inspections.
Dan Jalopee, owner and chief technician is industry certified
as a master mechanic. This certification provides him the
requisite background and knowledge to perform any and all
aspects of the inspection.
In addition to Dan's expertise, Portland Mobile Auto
Inspectors' other competitive edge is the thoroughness of
the inspection. With the use of sophisticated test
equipment, PMAI is able to offer the same level of
inspection completeness that a stationary mechanic would
be able to offer. No aspect of the vehicle is left uninspected.
PMAI's inspection will provide the client the necessary
confidence to purchase a used car.
27. Strategy Pyramids
The single objective is to position Portland Mobile Auto Inspectors as a superior alternative for used
car inspections and achieve a market leading position. PMAI will use three methods to communicate
the message that their service offerings are far superior to standard auto inspections. The first
method is with advertisements in the telephone directory Yellow Pages and in the auto section of the
Portland Plain Dealer.
Marketing Mix
Portland Mobile Auto Inspectors' marketing is comprised of the following approaches to pricing,
distribution, advertising and promotion, and customer service.
Pricing- The pricing scheme is designed to cover costs and provide a reasonable
profit, taking into account the cost of the substitutes available.
Distribution- The services will be provided throughout the city with PMAI's mobile
unit.
Advertising and Promotion- PMAI will use several methods including Yellow Page
and print advertising, a website, and strategic alliances.
Customer Service- Obsessive customer service is the mantra. Customers will be
attended to as if they were the largest account the company has. Customer
satisfaction will be ensured.
Marketing Research
During the initial phases of the marketing plan
completion, several focus groups were held to
determine the demand of the service. The focus
groups were held with prospective used car
buyers. The results of the focus groups
reinforced of the idea that there would be great
demand for a mobile used car inspection
service.
