INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
“Dr. Philip Kotler defines marketing as “the science and art of exploring, creating, and delivering value
to satisfy the needs of a target market at a profit. Marketing identifies unfulfilled needs and desires”
Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers. Marketing
might sometimes be interpreted as the art of selling products, but sales is only part of marketing. As the
term “marketing” may also consist of ‘competitive market’ among different companies. A competitive
market is one in which a large numbers of producers compete with each other to satisfy the wants and
needs of a large number of consumers. In a competitive market no single producer, or group of
producers, and no single consumer, or group of consumers, can dictate how the market operates. Nor can
they individually determine the price of goods and services, and how much will be exchanged.
Competitive markets will form under certain conditions.
From a societal point of view, marketing is the link between a society’s material requirements and its
economic patterns of response. Marketing satisfies these needs and wants through exchange process and
building long term relationships.
OBJECTIVES OF MARKETING
 The set of objectives necessary for successful marketing management includes,
 Capturing marketing insights
 Connecting with customers
 Building strong brands
 Shaping the market offerings
 Delivering and communicating value
 Creating long term growth
 Developing marketing strategies and plans.

NEEDS FOR MARKETING
1. A marketing plan makes a sense of our business environment when developing our marketing strategy
our need to take account of our customers, our competitors, and all the factors that could affect our
ability to operate effectively in the marketplace: the social, legal, economic, political and technological
issues that impact on our business. The likelihood is that these will be a complex mix, becoming more so
as our look into the future. Some aspects will be more important than others, and the process of
developing a marketing plan will help you decide where you should place your priorities.
2. A marketing plan enables clear decision making having determined what factors will affect our
business, and auditing what resources we have within our business to deal with them, we are well placed
to make all the marketing decisions and our need. Are our products really meeting our customers’ needs,
or should we be developing new products? Is our prices right for our market? Do our need extra staff or
should we outsource some services? Should we be trading online? Is that instead of or, as well as,
trading off-line? Do our need a PR campaign, and advertising campaign, a direct mail campaign…? The
questions we would usually consider in an ad hoc manner (if at all) suddenly become much easier in the
context of marketing plan with clear objectives, timescales and budget.
3. A marketing plan integrates long term planning and short term implementation our strategic marketing
plan should reach 3-5 years ahead, giving our the ability to look ahead and to be prepared to meet any
changes as and when they occur. It won’t be cast in stone, though. Our should revisit it regularly – how
frequently will depend on the nature of our business and the extent to which the factors affecting it
change – and make sure it remains relevant to the marketing environment in which our operate. At a
more detailed, tactical level our annual plan will dovetail with our strategic plan, ensuring that every
action we take is geared towards achieving our strategic goals.
4. A marketing plan prevents panic decisions The flip side of this coin, of course, is that a forward
looking marketing plan will give our as clear a view as possible of what is going on in the market place,
as well as providing our with a framework in which to make any decisions to deviate from our plan.
Sometimes there will be occasions when our want to change course – for sound business purposes. But
the framework that the plan provides will mean that our will not be taken by surprise by market
developments, nor will our be pushed this way and that by unexpected pressures.
THE MARKETING CONCEPT

13 | P a g e
There are five competing concept under which organization can choose to operate their business
1. The production concept
2. The product concept
3. The selling concept
4. The marketing concept and
5. The holistic marketing concept
MARKETING STRATEGY /CONCEPT
The market plan is one of the most important planning tools for businesses. It is used to determine if
there a market for the products or services. Recent years has seen a switch from creating a product or
service that meets the consumers’ specific needs as opposed to creating demand for the products or
services. Once the product or service has been chosen, the market must be analyzed. This is where the
market plan comes in. A plan has four basic functions:
 It tells individuals what resources are required.
 It shows what specific things need to be done.
 It gives goals that are measurable.
 It forces the “homework” to be done.
The best way to start to generate a market plan is to:
1. Begin with the objectives of the business.
2. Generate a marketplace perspective
3. Determine any constraints or limitations
4. Make an outline of the key elements or tactics needed.
Marketing plans are built around the “marketing concept” theory, which gives structure to identifying
and satisfying the customer’s needs.
THE MARKETING CONCEPT The market concept theory is based on the importance of the customers
to the business. The basis is that all policies and practices of the business should be based upon the goal
of satisfying the customers. In order to use the marketing concept, four steps need to be achieved:
1. MARKET RESEARCH - determining the demands or needs of the customers.
2. MARKET STRATEGY - analysis of the competitive advantage.

14 | P a g e
3. TARGET MARKETING - selecting which specific markets to serve.
4. MARKET MIX - determining how to serve the needs for the target markets.
MARKET RESEARCH: The gathering of information about the present and prospective customer
needs. This most commonly done through questionnaires and surveys.
MARKET STRATEGY: Small Businesses can gain a competitive advantage over larger
competitors by tailoring their products or services to meet the demands of the individual customer. This
tailoring can be done through the means of the product/service offered, price, promotion, and
distribution. The above are known as the marketing mix. Another advantage is that small businesses
offer a more personalized interaction with the customer
TARGET MARKETING: Small businesses often have constraints or limitations to the amount of
resources available for marketing their products or services. Therefore, they need to target a few specific
markets in which to concentrate their efforts. In order to choose the optimal markets to target a
segmentation of the total market is needed. The three ways to segment the markets are:
1. Customer segmentation - identifying and marketing to the groups of people that will be the heavy
consumers.
2. Product Segmentation - identifying and marketing the existing best selling products or services to gain
market share before marketing any new ones.
3. Geographical Segmentation - identifying and marketing to the specific geographical areas that
contain the heavy consumers.
MARKETING MIX:
A formal approach to this marketing mix includes the 4P’s they are
1. Product – solution
2. Price- value
3. Place- distribution access
4. Promotion- information
If any of the 4P’s were problematic or were not in the marketing factor of the business , the business
could be in the trouble and so other companies may appear in the surrounding of the company , so the
consumer demand on its product will decrease .

15 | P a g e
However, in recent years service marketing has widened the domains to be considered, contributing to
the 7P’s of marketing in total. The other 3P’s of service marketing are
 Process
 Physical evidence and
 people
And also some consider there should be eight P that is ‘Positioning’
The 7 ‘P’s of Marketing - taking the wider view
1. Product
Product is the item being sold to the customer, the thing that will bring in money, its features and design
need careful consideration. Whether the firm is manufacturing the product or purchasing the product for
resale, they need to determine what product features will appeal to their target market. When an
organization is considering introducing a product into a market, they should ask themselves the
following questions:
A. Who is the product aimed at?
B. What benefit will customers expect from it
C. What will be its advantage over competitor products? Or its unique selling point?
D.
E. How does the firm plan to Position the product within the market?
The answers to these questions will help a firm design, package and add value to its products.
2. PRICE
There are lots of different pricing strategies but all most at least cover your costs unless the price is being
used to attract customers to the business (loss leader). A product is worth as much as people are prepared
to pay for it. The amount your target market is prepared to pay for your product depends on its features
and the target market's budget. You will also need to consider Competitor Pricing and factors within
your Marketing Environment. Effective pricing involves balancing a range of factors.
3. PROMOTION
A successful product or service means nothing unless the benefit of such a service can be communicated
clearly to the target market. Promotion is any activity to raise awareness of a product or to encourage
customers to purchase a product. Advertising is a form of promotion but not all promotions are

16 | P a g e
advertisements. Promotional activities for consumer sales will be different to promotional activities for
business to business sales.
The following things will influence how a firm chooses to promote its product: Promotional campaign
purpose the budget for the promotional campaign Legal rules about what you can promote.
Components of promotion mix
There are seven main elements in a promotional mix. They are:
I) Advertising – Any paid form of non – personal communication through mass media about
service or product or an idea by a sponsor is called advertising .it is done through non
personal channels or media . Such as print advertisements, advertisements in televisions and
radio, billboard, brochures and catalogue, direct mails, in store display, motion pictures,
emails, banners ads, web pages, and posters are some of the examples of advertising.
II) Personal selling – this is the process by which a person persuades the buyer to accept a
product or a point of view or convince the buyer to take specific course of action through face
to face contact. Examples: sales meeting, sales presentations, sales training, and incentive
programs for intermediary sales people, samples and telemarketing etc, it can be of face to
face or through telephone contact.
III) Publicity - publicity is the movement of information with the effect of increasing public
awareness of a subject. The subjects of publicity include people (for example, politicians and
performing artists), goods and services, organizations of all kinds, and works of art or
entertainment.
Publicity is gaining public visibility or awareness for a product, service or your company via
the media. It is the publicist that carries out publicity, while PR is the strategic
management function that helps an organization communicate, establish and maintain
communication with the public. This can be done internally, without the use of media.
IV) Sales promotion - Sales promotion refers to ‘those marketing activities that stimulate
consumer shows and expositions. Purchasing and dealer effectiveness such as displays,
demonstration and various non- recurrent selling efforts not in the ordinary routine.”
According to A.H.R. Delens: “Sales promotion means any steps that are taken for the purpose
of obtaining an increasing sale. Often this term refers specially to selling efforts that are
designed to supplement personal selling and advertising and by co-ordination helps them to
become more effective.”In the words of Roger A. Strong, “Sales promotion includes all
forms of sponsored communication apart from activities associated with personal selling. It,

17 | P a g e
thus includes trade shows and exhibits, combining, sampling, premiums, trade,
allowances,sales and dealer incentives, set of packs, consumer education and demonstration
activities, rebates, bonus, packs, point of purchase material and direct mail.”
Objectives of Sales Promotion:
Sales promotion is a vital bridge or a connecting link between personal selling and
advertising.
Sales promotion activities are undertaken to achieve the following objectives:
1. To increase sales by publicity through the media which are complementary to press and
poster advertising.
2. To disseminate information through salesmen, dealers etc., so as to ensure the product
getting into satisfactory use by the ultimate consumers.
3. To stimulate customers to make purchases at the point of purchase.
4. To prompt existing customers to buy more.
5. To introduce new products.
6. To attract new customers.
7. To meet competition from others effectively.
8. To check seasonal decline in the volume of sales.
Importance of Sales Promotion:
The importance of sales promotion has increased tremendously in the modern times. Lakhs of
rupees are being spent on sales promotional activities to attract the consumers in our country
and also in other countries of the world. Some large companies have also begun to appoint
sales promotion managers to handle miscellaneous promotional tools. All these facts show
that the importance of sales promotion activities is increasing at a faster rate.
V) Corporate image – it is important to create a good image in the sight of general public as
the image of an organization is a crucial point in marketing. If the reputation of a company is
bad, consumers are less willing to buy a product from the company.

18 | P a g e
VI) Exhibitions – exhibition provide a chance to try the product by the customers. it is an
avenue for the producers to get an instant response from the potential consumers off the
products.
VII) Direct marketing – direct marketing is reaching the customer without using the
traditional channels of advertising such as radio, newspaper, television etc. this type of
marketing reached the targeted consumers with the techniques such as promotional letters
street advertising.
4. Place
The Place element of the marketing place is about where the product is made, where is it stored and how
is it transported to the customer. The place for each of these things should ensure that the product gets to
the right place at the right time without damage or loss. The ideal place will be Convenient for the
customer and the business Accessible for the customer if it is the place where the product is sold Low
cost or free for the customer if it is the place where the product is sold Reasonable cost to the business.
5. People
People are an essential ingredient in service provision; recruiting and training the right staff is required
to create a competitive advantage. Customers make judgments about service provision and delivery
based on the people representing your organization. This is because people are one of the few elements
of the service that customers can see and interact with. The praise received by the volunteers (games
makers) for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics demonstrates the powerful effect people can
create during service delivery. Staff requires appropriate interpersonal skills, aptitude, and service
knowledge in order to deliver a quality service. In the UK many organizations apply for the "Investors in
People" Accreditation to demonstrate that they train their staff to prescribed standards and best practices.
6. Processes
This element of the marketing mix looks at the systems used to deliver the service. Imagine you walk
into Burger King and order a Whopper Meal and you get it delivered within 2 minutes. What was the
process that allowed you to obtain an efficient service delivery? Banks that send out Credit Cards
automatically when their customer’s old one has expired again require an efficient process to identify
expiry dates and renewal. An efficient service that replaces old credit cards will foster consumer loyalty
and confidence in the company. All services need to be underpinned by clearly defined and efficient
processes. This will avoid confusion and promote a consistent service. In other words processes mean
that everybody knows what to do and how to do it.

19 | P a g e
7. Physical evidence
Physical evidence is about where the service is being delivered from. It is particularly relevant to
retailers operating out of shops. This element of the marketing mix will distinguish a company from its
competitors. Physical evidence can be used to charge a premium price for a service and establish a
positive experience. For example all hotels provide a bed to sleep on but one of the things affecting the
price charged, is the condition of the room (physical evidence) holding the bed. Customers will make
judgments about the organization based on the physical evidence. For example if you walk into a
restaurant you expect a clean and friendly environment, if the restaurant is smelly or dirty, customers are
likely to walk out. This is before they have even received the service.
SALES PROMOTION TECHNIQUES
Marketing - sales promotion
Sales promotions are the set of marketing activities undertaken to boost sales of the product or service.
Description: There are two basic types of sales promotions: trade and consumer sales promotions. The
schemes, discounts, freebies, commissions and incentives given to the trade (retailers, wholesalers,
distributors, C&Fs) to stock more, push more and hence sell more of a product come under trade
promotion. These are aimed at enticing the trade to stock up more and hence reduce stock-outs, increase
share of shelf space and drive sales through the channels.
However, trade schemes get limited by the cost incurred by the company as well as the limitations of the
trade in India to stock up free goods. Incentives can be overseas trips and gifts.
But sales promotion activity aimed at the final consumer are called consumer schemes. These are used to
create a pull for the product and are advertised in public media to attract attention.
Maximum schemes are floated in festival times, like Diwali or Christmas. Examples are buy soap, get
diamond free; buy biscuits, collect runs; buy TV and get some discount or a free item with it and so on.
Consumer schemes become very prominent in the 'maturity or decline' stages of a product life cycle,
where companies vie to sell their own wares against severe competition.
The impact of sales promotions: Sales promotions typically increase the level of sales for the duration
they are floated. Usually, as soon as the schemes end, the sales fall, but hopefully, settle at a higher level
than they were before the sales promotion started. For the company, it can be a means to gain market
share, though an expensive way. For consumers, these can offer great value for money. But sustained
sales promotions can seriously damage a brand and its sales, as consumers wait specifically for the sales

20 | P a g e
promotion to buy and not otherwise. Therefore, sales promotions are to be used as a tactical measure as
part of an overall plan, and not as an end itself.
There are many methods of sales promotion, they are
1) Rebate:
Under it in order to clear the excess stock, products are offered at some reduced price. For example,
giving a rebate by a car manufacturer to the tune of 12,000/- for a limited period of time.
2) Discount:
Under this method, the customers are offered products on less than the listed price. For example, giving
a discount of 30% on the sale of Liberty Shoes. Similarly giving a discount of 50% + 40% by the
KOUTONS.
3) Refunds:
Under this method, some part of the price of an article is refunded to the customer on showing proof of
purchase. For example, refunding an amount of 5/- on showing the empty packet of the product priced
100/-.
4) Product Combination:
Under this method, along with the main product some other product is offered to the customer as a gift.
The following are some of the examples:
5) Quantity Gift:
Under this method, some extra quantity of the main product is passed on as a gift to the customers. For
example, 25% extra toothpaste in a packet of 200 gm tooth paste. Similarly, a free gift of one RICH
LOOK shirt on the purchase of two shirts.
6) Instant Draw and Assigned Gift:
Under this method, a customer is asked to scratch a card on the purchase of a product and the name of
the product is inscribed thereupon which is immediately offered to the customer as a gift. For example,
on buying a car when the card is scratched such gifts are offered – TV, Refrigerator, Computer, Mixer,
Dinner Set, Wristwatch, T-shirt, Iron Press, etc.
7) Lucky Draw:
Under this method, the customers of a particular product are offered gifts on a fixed date and the winners
are decided by the draw of lots. While purchasing the product, the customers are given a coupon with a

21 | P a g e
specific number printed on it. On the basis of this number alone the buyer claims to have won the gift.
For example, ‘Buy a bathing soap and get a gold coin’ offer can be used under this method.
8) Usable Benefits:
Under this method, coupons are distributed among the consumers on behalf of the producer. Coupon is a
kind of certificate telling that the product mentioned therein can be obtained at special discount. It means
that if a customer has a coupon of some product he will get the discount mentioned therein whenever he
buys it. Possession of a coupon motivates the consumer to buy the product, even when he has no need of
it. Such coupons are published in newspapers and magazines. Some companies distribute coupons
among its shareholders. Sellers collect the coupons from the customers and get the payment from the
company that issues the same.
9) Full Finance @ 0%:
Under this method, the product is sold and money received in installment at 0% rate of interest. The
seller determines the number of installments in which the price of the product will be recovered from the
customer. No interest is charged on these installments.
10) Samples or Sampling:
Under this method, the producer distributes free samples of his product among the consumers. Sales
representatives distribute these samples from door-to-door. This method is used mostly in case of
products of daily-use, e.g., Washing Powder, Tea, Toothpaste, etc. Thus, the consumers willy-nilly make
use of free sample. If it satisfies them, they buy it and in this way sales are increased.
11) Contests:
Some producers organize contests with a view to popularizing their products. Consumers taking part in
the contest are asked to answer some very simple questions on a form and forward the same to the
company. The blank form is made available to that consumer who buys the product first. Result is
declared on the basis of all the forms received by a particular date. Attractive prizes are given to the
winners of the contest. Such contests can be organized in selected branch of the company and according
to festival as well as seasons.

TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing in the world.
It is the second largest in the world based on the total number of telephone user both fixed and
Mobile phone.
Government policies and regulatory framework implemented by Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India (TRAI) have provided a conducive environment for service providers. This has made
the sector more competitive, while enhancing the accessibility of telecommunication services at
affordable tariffs to the consumers.
Telecommunication services are globally recognised as one of the driving forces for overall
economic development in a nation. They are also one of the prime support services needed for
rapid growth and modernisation of various sectors of the economy. The Government of India
recognises this fact and hence, has taken several major initiatives to provide a business friendly
environment for companies in this sector.
Driven by 3G and 4G services, it is expected that there will be huge machine-to-machine
(M2M) growth in India in 2016-17, according to UST Global. There is also a lot of scope for
growth of M2M services in the government's ambitious US$ 1.1 billion Smart City program
The rapid strides in the telecom sector have been facilitated by liberal policies of the
Government of India that provide easy market access for telecom equipment and a fair
regulatory framework for offering telecom services at affordable prices. According to a study by
GSMA, it has been expected that smartphones will account for two out of every three mobile
connections globally by 2020 and India is all set to become the fourth largest smartphone
market.
Current Scenario
In Indian telecom sector the number of telephone subscribers in India increased from 957.61
million at the end of September, 2014 to 962.63 million at the end of October, 2014, thereby
showing a monthly growth rate of 0.52%. The urban subscription increased from 569.56

MAJOR MARKET PLAYERS IN TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY IN
INDIA
BSNL is the market leader with a 67.7 per cent share followed by MTNL with 11.5 per cent market
share. Next is Bharti Airtel at 10.9% followed by Tata and Reliance at 5% and 4.1% respectively.
BSNL as a company is growing and showed annual revenues of approximately $4.5 billion as of
2014. BSNL is serving more than 125 million customers across the country and is catalyst in
checking the price point for telecom services. Also, with the government intensifying its rural
focus; only BSNL can turn into reality the next wave of rural telecom penetration.
BSNL is a 100% Central Government entity and employees with BSNL are entitled to get salaries
and perks as decided by Government of India and not by BSNL. However both, MTNL and BSNL
are plagued by declining revenues coupled with high costs. BSNL has massive infrastructure,
manpower, systems, and 80 per cent of landlines and 90 per cent of broadband connections in India
are operated by it.
Vodafone is investing nearly US$ 3 billion over the next two years in India in expanding its
network infrastructure and distribution channel in the country, as per Vittorio Colao, CEO,
Vodafone Plc.
India is one of the fastest growing markets in terms of Smartphone and mobile data adoption, said
according to Sunil Lalvani, Managing Director (MD) and BlackBerry India. Tata Teleservices
plans to set up nearly 4,000 wi-fi hotspots in nine cities across the country in the next two years.
Booming sectors
The tide has turned for the telecom sector in India, as growth and profitability has accelerated in
recent times. Tower companies are reaping benefits of a turnaround in the sector as operators have
started investing in networks to boost data penetration. However it is in the country’s booming
mobile segment in which the major battles are being fought. Three major private players – Bharti,
Reliance and Vodafone - with a formidable 54% share of the market between them, lead a large
field of mobile operators.

GOVERNMENT POLICY
Policy Initiatives by Govt. of India in the Telecommunication Sector have been one of the largest
causes for the success of the telecom market in India. The national parties before the administrative
unit have lifted private telecom units based on license-fee.
The government of India has adopted a new economic policy for the telecommunication market in
India. This policy has been effective from 1994 and the Govt. of India with the aim to accelerate
India's growth in export production and international market formulated it. The national telecom
policy as has been designed by the government of India also ensures foreign direct investment and
exhilarating domestic investiture. This national economic policy of telecom department demands
superior quality telecommunication services and therefore the development of telecom services are
to be given the utmost importance to attain the peak of success.
The national telecom policy covers the following objectives:

able to enjoy the telecom services at low-priced range

disputations and public interface should be taken care of at the earliest possible time
 India being one of the biggest country should encompass a major manufacturing unit as well as
exporter of the telecom products across the globe
 The telecom department is also responsible for the security issues of the country.

MTS IS PLANNING TO LAUNCH ITS 4G SERVICES ALL OVER
THE INDIA VERY SOON.
Sistema Shyam TeleServices, India's only pure-play CDMA operator is all set to make
the transition from 2G CDMA to 4G. While LTE in itself has got better spectral
efficiencies and can deliver a wider bouquet of services than other existing mobile
technologies, MTS India's 800MHz holdings could make the benefits even more
attractive. One problem for Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd. which trades under the
MTS India brand has been India's relatively small CDMA ecosystem. At first, CDMA
players including Tata Teleservices Ltd. and Reliance Communications Ltd. besides
MTS had the advantage of being able to provide superior data services to their GSM
rivals, which put them in a strong position in the data card business. But with the
launch of 3G services, the CDMA players have lost that lead. The cancellation of
licenses owned by MTS India.
There could even be an option of doing away with voice services entirely. As a
CDMA player, MTS generates a significant proportion of its revenues from data
services more than 51% at the end of March, according to its financial results and
might have limited interest in defending its voice business in future. Indeed, with over-
the-top players like WhatsApp and Viber intruding on this space, MTS may feel a
data-only focus makes strategic sense in the long run.
The pace of growth in data revenues will continue to be much higher than voice
growth," said MTS in its 2013/14 annual report. The reason for this is MTS India's
focus on the data business, existing coverage and deployment of Rev B technology a
CDMA standard supporting higher-speed data offerings reliable service, product
offerings and time-to-market advantages.
In keeping with its prioritization of data, MTS has also begun offering Wi-Fi hotspots
at railway stations through a partnership with Railtel Corporation of India Ltd. It is
currently offering Wi-Fi services at six railway stations in Agra, Varanasi,

42 | P a g e
Secunderabad, Howrah (Kolkata), Mumbai CST and Ahmadabad. Once rules about
spectrum sharing have been finalized, MTS is also considering whether to share its
network with other service providers. State-run telecom company Bharat Sanchar
Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is in discussions with MTS, the Indian unit of Russian telecom
company Sistema, to offer fourth generation, or 4G, telecom services across the
country, through joint branding.

CHAPTER – 5
FINDINGS , SUGGESTIONS
AND CONCLUSION

84 | P a g e
FINDINGS
A study was conducted on the topic “Competitive strategies followed by MTS (Sistema Shyam
TeleServices)” in and around Bangalore city only and the major findings are:-
 Majority of the respondent are between the age group of 21 to 40 years which is 70
percent of total respondent, mostly male, and living single. And are private employed
and self employed (working mostly in Private Sector Company) and earning between
10,000 to 20000 per month.
 Very few people who have responded have purchased MTS product and are using MTS
service, the reason most of them had not brought MTS internet service is due to lack of
advertisement and not availability of broadband connection with high speed .
 It’s noticed that many of the respondent are happy to use the internet that is in their
mobile phone instead of buying MTS Mblaze product. Most of the MTS user respondent
used internet through MTS Mblaze and MTS dongle.
 Most of the respondent was using Act broad band and Airtel before they purchased MTS
internet service, and most of the respondent think Act broad band give better tariff plan
then MTS, and only 19 percent are satisfied with the Tariff plan provided by MTS.
 Majority of the respondent used 50 Giga byte of data per month, and most of them used
post paid service rather than prepaid service.
 It’s noticed that most of the respondents like MTS discounts and extra benefits they
provide to customer. only 30 percent are satisfied with the promotional activities of MTS,
and most of the respondent think Facebook, Twitter, and You tube are effective means of
advertisement and promoting MTS service .
 Majority of the people think MTS coming up with MTS Mblaze was a turning point and
beneficial steps taken by mts during 2014 to 2016.
 Lastly most of the respondent faced the problem in MTS regarding internet speed and
customer care service.

85 | P a g e
SUGGESTIONS:
I. SSTL, MTS must upgrade the internet speed from 3g plus to 4g plus and
provide this service to respondent at earliest to sustain in the market for a
longer period of time.
II. MTS have to improve its network signal and must cover the wide range of
area to improve its signal strength.
III. It has to lower the tariff rate of the data plan and make 75% similar to those
providing broadband internet facilities to draw more customers.
IV. Data plan per GB for booster pack after high speed plan collapse should be
more than 5 GB. MTS should upgrade it to 10 GB at earliest.
V. Mts should prefer facebook and other social site for the advertisement and
other promotional activities rather than newspaper and magazine.
VI. Improve customer service unit to resolve the grievance and problem of
customer in short duration.
Conclusions:
According to the study, the Indian telecommunication industry is one of the fastest growing
industries in the world. The internet subscribers are growing at rapid rate. The demand for high
speed internet is very huge in the market. The intolerant behavior of customer toward buffering
and late loading of page due to less speed of internet are changing the face of
telecommunication, with most of the companies coming up with 4g speed. And MTS is lacking
on the speed. So it has to come up with 4g.
