Editor's Notes
- Hello everyone! Today I am going to give a brief presentation on one of the biggest car manufacturer Audi and relate it to the Chapter 3 of Keller and Kotler which is creating long term loyalty relationships.
- Lets begin by introducing Audi to you, it was formed by August Horch and the name Audi comes from the Latin translation of the surname Horch. The Head Quarter of the company is at Germany and the company was taken over by Volkswagen AG. Currently Audi is headed by its CEO Rupert Stadler.
- Going forward in the discussion we see the vision of Audi which has been rested on 3 major pillars which are Digitalization, Sustainability, Urbanization and they have always had their motto ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ which means advancement through technology.
- Audi has a preplanned mission for the year 2025 and has based it upon its vision which stands on the previously discussed 3 pillars. Here we see their mission in the sector of digitalization wherein they seek to give its customer the best of Audi’s experience by various digital platforms such as myAudi, Audi connect etc.
- Going forward to the 2nd pillar in the mission which is Sustainability and Audi seeks huge sustainability in the kind of products it manufactures. It is thus upscaling its engines and models and also making its cars more and more fuel efficient.
- The 3rd and final pillar in their mission is Urbanization and they are approaching it through creating open and independent mobility platforms. Audi is focusing on gaining leading positions in piloted and autonomous driving and is continuously Upscaling mobility services.
- Going forward in the discussion, now we move to the External Assessment of Audi.
- During the External Assessment we will mainly link Audi’s position in the market and here is a positioning map which shows how low the cost of an Audi car is as compared to its competitors so here Audi has a chance to increase its selling price and also not loose its share of profit.
- Coming to the SWOT analysis which includes Opportunities and Threats during the external assessment. Audi has many Opportunities to expand itself globally which mainly include the growth of the Asian market and good government strategies in India also provide it a big chance to expand globally wherein the major Threats associated with the brand are in its own competitors who are also continuously expanding their market globally, also the brand has threats of any coming recession and economic slowdown.
- After all this now we have the internal assessment of the brand wherein we will see the internal organizational structure of Audi and we will have a look on the remaining aspects of the SWOT analysis.
- Coming to Strength the brand Audi has developed during its course to glory is the fact that it has a highly reputed brand and has successfully accomplished its motto of Advancement through technology. Audi also has the benefit of the large panel of products it has developed and has thus gained a global presence. The major weakness associated with the brand are that the customer face high maintenance and handling costs.
- Going forward in the discussion we look on the marketing strategies for Audi, it has successfully implemented the strategy of market segmentation. The biggest challenge Audi has faced is that of repositioning itself from a Sports manufacturer to an all-rounder and this has involved their best of marketing strategies.
- Audi has successfully maintained enormous sales after being acquired by Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft (AG). It has done so by promoting its cars and its brands through Promotion in Rallies and Races etc.
- The sales at Audi are not only high just because of the Brand value it has but because of the sales strategies it has adapted. The pull and push strategy of Audi has been implemented at the best and one can see the results in the boom of their sales.
- The most important strategy for any company to succeed in the market is how effective are their advertisements and how efficiently can they attract the customers to them. This advertisement of Fox, a car by Audi connects well to the customer and shows them the benefits of buying the car, like the cars size is said to be perfect for women to drive or the quality of car is portrayed in the ads by displaying the responses of big persons.
- Audi has successfully implemented the strategy of involving customers and has brought with it many customer oriented changes in its cars and has worked upon the feedback from the customers to build long term loyalty relationships.
