4ith the advent of !echnology world around us, its really hard to penetrate the market for any
brand especially when companies like pple and amsung have flooded the entire market with their
innovative products. midst this n +ndian Aompany icromax has come out with some radiance and
seem to be a mass scale product for mid income group, enhancing the brand and its value. pple, amsung are likely to give away their products charging /-,--- and micromax would
give away the same features in say around 1/,---. +ts :ust the cost of brand that other companies chargefor their product which is not charged by micromax and compromised by the customers when they buy+A5%G.
People have become prone to change and it has almost become a fashion keeping cell phones
with latest sleek slim body and newer version of operating system. +ts because of this reason that peopledo take up +A%G and use it for sometime and then switch over again. !he survey conveys the
fact as the number of users using the phones for more than years is much less than people using it for
* year or so. +ts sales in terms of volume is more in comparison to the other companies but its sales in value is
not very much at par with the other companies. +t made its mark among big shot companies like apple
and amsung
But there are few faults in the marketing, distribution and other fields which the companyneeds to deal with to gain a stronger market position and become at par with the companies like
amsung and apple.
