creating a network of 1,400 Samsung Experience Shops
inside Best Buy stores, complete with tech support desks
staffed by Samsung employees.
Samsung has sharply increased its functionality to
compete with Apple, which is good, but it also means that
customers need to be retrained and that will be seen as a
hassle for shoppers.

26. STRATEGIES ADOPTED TO TACKLE COMPETITION
OR PRIME MARKET EXPANSION
Price – Galaxy has the Y series which is offered for a very
low price than the completion e.g. Nokia, HTC, LG, Sony,
and Motorola. Due to the cost effectiveness
Samsung has been able to cut down on prices, which other
major players have not been able to achieve. Even the
Galaxy Tab brought about turmoil in the tablet industry
when it was launched and the iPad suffered a major
setback in the process.
27. Cont…
Distribution – The market penetration of Galaxy is much
more than any other brand. Brands like Micromax that
brought about a revolution with its low price android
phones could not compete because of the well established
distribution network of Samsung.
Innovations – Samsung keeps innovating itself. It strives
to satisfy almost all the features a consumer can ask for in
a mobile device. It boasts of a series of devices
comprising features like the full touch screen, normal
keypad, QWERTY keypad and even a mixture of touch as
well as keypads. It has kept on improvising on almost all
its features per the market demand.
28. DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY FOLLOWED BY SAMSUNG GALAXY
Franchisees – Samsung Electronics franchised a number
of small outlets (Mobile Stores). All the outlets which are
under the franchiser should follow certain set guidelines of
the franchiser’s company. This would include converting a
normal outlet into Samsung Electronics outlet. But the
franchiser will help in visual merchandising and loan for
deposits which are refundable.
29. Shopping Malls – Many shopping malls have a separate
mobile phones section. Samsung targeted these malls as
they are the right place for promotion and sales of stylish
variants of Samsung Galaxy.
Mobile Phone Outlets – Samsung Galaxy mobiles are
also available in the different mobile stores present in
different parts of India. The store keepers are paid
commission for demonstrating the various uses of the
Galaxy mobiles to the customers and vouch for the quality
of the products.
30. Samsung launched its first “Samsung Brand Store” in New
Delhi. The store is the first of its kind in the country. One floor is
