21. GAPS
• CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR MONITORING
• LOYALTY OFFERINGS
• BILLING SYSTEM
• UFONE has introduced 3G and 4G service but still not as good as compared with zong.
• In some cities and areas, UFONE is not offering fiber optical cable, to endless their users with better
connectivity.
• Weak government rules and regulations
• Un-Facilitated franchises
• They more focus on internal recruitment
• As Ufone is cellular company and there is cut throat competition among cellular companies in Pakistan.
There are six other companies also working in Pakistan so Ufone would have to face some growing
competitive pressures.

22. SOLUTION
• They should introduce Satellite system to overcome their gaps.

23. FUTURE PLANS

• Huge network expansion contract of USD 550 million, which will enhance the subscribers’
capacity by 10 million

• To increase the value of investment for the shareholders.

24. CONCLUSION
• By keenly analyzing the marketing of Ufone, we group member agree that Ufone is penetrating its market by taking
risks and aggressively promoting & advertising itself
• If Ufone gave equal importance to External Recruitment, then they will have diverse pool of candidates with increased
productivity
• We came through unconventional strategies and ad campaigns while working on this report. We believe that mobile
services are the toughest market to enter and survive. And in this tough market Ufone isn’t only surviving but growing
at an exceptional rate.
• Ufone is using humorous theme in its ads which has become its benchmark. People enjoy watching, discussing and
following Ufone ads the most. And it is the biggest achievement of Ufone in recent times.
• We wish a very best of luck to Ufone. May it progress in this field and achieve its desired goals. (AMEEN)
