"After we established the brand in India now we are
focusing in the overseas market. To start with we chose the SAARC countries
first," said Probir Majumdar, National Manager (Corporate Sales). Xenitis
is also well ahead in its plan to launch their PC brand in Sri Lanka. In
Bangladesh Amar PC is selling a steady 1,000 units per month. In Nepal Mero PC
was launched in October and according to Majumdar in the first month 1,000 units
were sold.
For Xenitis marketing and branding of their product is of
utmost importance. As is known, the company is extremely aggressive in their
marketing and branding strategies. Successfully targeting an initial sale of
1,000 machines per month in Bangladesh, Xenitis is now all set to carry forward
its branding in the country to a newer height. The company is also working on
the sales model and is planning to appoint dealers and distributors for maximum
reach in the country. "We will also appoint our own people over there to
take care of the service issues and also to act as the liaison between us and
local partners," said Majumdar. Right now Xenitis is controlling its
operations through their distributor based in Dhaka.
Before launching a product in a new market the company
ensures they research market and measure the prospect of their brand and plan
their strategy likewise. "Branding is very important as people should know
about your company and product first. Otherwise sales wont take place as is
expected," explained Majumdar. "If people are not aware of the brand
and its product they are not likely to buy it," he said. Another major
tool, according to Majumdar, is events and for Xenitis' international ventures
the company is looking at doing lots of events.
The company is keeping no stone unturned to explore the
possibilities based on which suitable strategies could be chalked out to earn
the maximum benefit out of then. Another very important strategy of Xenitis is
to launch the product in any country with big partners only who already have an
established infrastructure. It has done so in both Bangladesh and Nepal and is
in talks with some leading partners for their launch in Sri Lanka also.
But the most winning strategy of Xenitis in launching their
PC brand is perhaps the brand name. It is a meticulous decision that the company
takes while choosing the name of the brand before launch. "We first check
out which could be the most effective name that would directly hit the minds of
the local people. We launch our brand according to the local demand. That is the
strategy we have followed till date and would continue with the same," he
added.
