MARKETING STRATEGY OF TVS WEGO

TVS is on a roll these days. The company's fortune multiplied ever since it broke up with its partner Suzuki in 2001. The company made a strong comeback in the two wheeler market with TVS Victor and later created a place in the market through TVS Apache motorcycle. In 2011, the company has entered into gear-less scooter segment with the high profile , high decibel launch of TVS Wego. Wego is a unisex scooter with a engine capacity of 110 CC and priced around Rs 42,000. The brand directly competes with the market leader Honda Activa. TVS has already built a strong equity in the 60cc scooterette market with its market leading brand TVS Scooty. TVS Wego is in the market at the right time. The scooter market in India is growing at a scorching pace and dominated by one big brand- Activa. A large growing market dominated by a single player is always an attractive option . There is always a space for a second brand provided it can offer a differentiated value proposition to the customer. In the Indian scooter market, the competitor is Honda and it is not an easy task to offer a value proposition that beats Honda. Many players have accepted defeat in this market including the erstwhile market leader - Bajaj Auto. Hero Honda is another strong contender with its brand Pleasure which is mainly targeting the lady commuter. TVS has created a worthy challenger to Activa by launching Wego. Going by the reviews, there is a general consensus that Wego will be accepted by the consumers. More importantly , the brand was able to find a worthwhile differentiation to fight the market leader. Wego was launched at the right time when Honda is struggling to

meet the demand for Activa. The long waiting period of Activa will force many customers to look for alternatives and this offers tremendous opportunity for Wego. Wego is well styled and adequately powered scooter and is priced along the market going rate. The brand has found a unique differentiator and has called it Body Balance . During the Bajaj Chetak era, balance was a critical issue since the engine of Bajaj Chetak was placed on one side and caused considerable imbalance. Vespa which was the competitor of Chetak was considered to be more balanced since the spare tire was kept on the other side to balance the engine weight. Although modern scooters like Activa and Pleasure doesn't seem to have such an issue, the body balance focus of Wego seems to be a relevant differentiator because balance have association with stability and safety. The website of Wego explains the body balance in a detailed manner. Unlike the other scooters, Wego has a front inclined design which gives better stability while riding. The brand chose this feature as its USP and is going all out to promote body balance as its USP. So the opportunity is right, the product has right features and has found a reasonable differentiation and the next critical stage is to communicate the value proposition to the consumers.Wego has really disappointed in the brand communication stage.The television campaign of Wego is one of the worst ads that I have seen in recent times . One and only best thing about the ad is that it creates a strong association between the brand and the Body Balance feature. So in that perspective, the ad does its job. But on all other counts, be it creativity, execution , the ad is totally lost. The ad can be viewed once but not worth watching second time. My personal opinion is that such features are best explained using a rational theme. Here in this case, the brand has tried to use humor and hyperbole to convey the concept of body balance

and the viewer is clueless about how this body balance works in practice.The counter argument would be that a normal user will checkout the website or showroom and find about the explanation about body balance and the campaign is just to bombard the consumer with this term . So to be fair to the brand, the ad works at some level but at the cost of refinement and creative execution. Unlike Hero Honda Pleasure, Wego has positioned itself as a unisex scooter for modern day couples. The entire communication is targeting couples . Wego can offer quite a challenge to Activa. Activa is currently struggling to meet the demand and the long waiting period can cause many customers to look at Wego. Activa recently launched a print campaign assuring customers of speedy delivery once they ramp up their operations. The success of Wego largely will depend on the performance of the product on road. The real customer reviews and word of mouth will be the acid test for this brand.

MARKETING STUDY OF TVS WEGO

With the battle for the third spot fought hard between TVS Motors and HMSI, both the companies have pushed the Launch button. After a gressive launches from Honda, TVS has ensured that they do not left behind. With the clutchless wonder Jive, TVS has launched the 110cc unisex scooter Wego in Pune a few days back in a bid to make sure that the product reaches all major potential parts of the country.HMSI leads the scooter market with their omnipresent Activa followed by other similar models. Wego is a direct attempt at the largest selling Activa in a bid to regain the lost ground. We try to figure out does the scooter has enough juice to dethrone Activa at the very First Look. Wego is powered by a 109.7cc air cooled 4 stroke engine which is capable of producing 8PS at 7500 rpm and an equal amount of torque which peaks at 5500 rpm. These figures seem compa-

rable to the competition, a lot will demystify once we thoroughly test ride this machine. We will switch to the various features TVS is banking upon. All Aluminum engine: Wego comes loaded with a noise free all aluminum low friction engine for a fuss free experience and lesser vibrations. 1. Forward Biased Center of Gravity: TVS has been advertising this feature a lot. As they say, the center of Gravity, which is one of the most important factors for stability of a machine, has been kept forward biased which would have needed a lot of technical expertise as its not easy to lessen the impact of rear mounted engines weight which is the single heaviest component of a scooter. 2. Telescopic Front shock absorbers: This is one feature we would advice all companies to adorn on their scooters. Telescopic shock absorbers are so much better than the conventional ones at providing a much needed respite to the riders spine. 3. Gas Charged Rear suspension: Wego becomes the first scooter in India to pay heed to and sport Nitrogen Gas charged suspension for the rear. As a combo (front and rear) it does make the scooter probably the best when it comes to rides on normal to broken roads. Middle aged men (and women) are you listening! 4. Large Tires: One thing which we really liked was the industry first 12 inch alloy wheels on this scooter. While these add to a lot of safety on the road they make the scooter stand out from the rest.

5. Aggressive styling: Look at it from the front and you would find a hard lined stance as if it were to prove a point forcibly on you. The bulging rear ending with a pointed tail adds to the overall styling. 6. Full Metal Body: Wego also comes equipped with a full metal body. Rest assured it would save a lot of your after sales spent money along with adding a lot of safety on the go. 7. External Fuel Knob: Similar to the Scooty Streak, Wego also has the rear mounted fuel knob so that you are saved of the unnecessary extra hassle of getting down everytime you fill fuel. 8. Combo Charger: Now you can charge your cellphone on the go; a very handy feature which must make it to all other scooters as well. 9. Zero Maintenance Battery: Keeping pace with the competition, Wego comes equipped with a zero maintenance 12V 4Ah battery which doesnt need frequent looking after. 10. Patented EZ Center Stand: An innovation especially for the fairer sex, the patented EZ center stand requires lesser effort to mount the scooter on it. Now no more, in-a-hurry side stand niggles! 11. Combo Lock: One key does it all! The side panel lock opens up both the seat and fuel tank cap. 12. Under Seat Storage: Wego comes with a 15 liter under seat storage space which can store a full face helmet, documents, Pepsi cans and other handy loads. Not class leading but decent enough! 13. Claimed Mileage: TVS claims this bike to deliver close to 50kmpl of mileage on a mix driving of cities and larger roads. 14. Low Weight: The scooter tips at 105kgs on the scale which makes it an efficient machine for both the sexes to handle.

15. Vivid Color Options: Wego would be made available in 5 color options: Silver, Black (our choice), Dark Blue, Cappuccino Brown and Golden Beige. 16. Wet Compound Tires: Wego also come equipped with wet compound tires which promise to be sticky even on wet roads. That seems a lot of innovation and a very worthy attempt at the competition. TVS has kept the pricing of the scooter very competitive at 42,361 ex showroom Pune which is on the similar lines of Activa. TVS plans to sell 20,000 units for this scooter per month once the scooter has been made available all around the country. Its evident that Wego has been made with a lot of heart and it clearly shows in the overall product. Now is it an Activa defeater needs to be seen as sales progress. Look out for our rode test where we will talk about the scooter in depth. TVS isnt exactly new to the gearless scooter segment, with Scooty and its variants, the Pep, pep+ and the streak all stand testimony to the companies experience in this field, with almost endless waiting periods for the current market leader, the Honda Activa, it was inevitable that TVS would come up with a rival against the Japanese giant. We take a close look at the machine and wonder if this two wheeler has what it takes to grab the hearts of prospective scooter buyers. The Wego was first launched along with the Jive back in November 25, 2009, TVS claimed to have spent a whopping 50 crore developing this machine which is designed and marketed to be family friendly unlike the Scooty which was for the Ladies. Priced slightly higher

than the competition by about 1000Rs, the Wego has plenty of features worth mentioning along with the good looks. Looks and Features: The styling is best described in one word Edgy, it features muscles and curves all around its metal body with sharp looking indicators just like on the Scooty streak and the white color that seems to have been lifted straight from the RTR 180, its far from the conservative design language of the Activa and the Duro. On closer inspection of the Wego, TVSs trademark attention to detail in the design can be seen, take for example the air vent below the seat, while most designers would be happy to go ahead and put two holes there, TVS has given the Wego a cool looking transformerslogo-style air vent, complete with a plastic mesh. The tail lamps, they may seem ordinary but the three inverted-U shaped optical tubes is almost identical to the tubes used on BMW cars to light up their brake lights and corona rings. The very well done stitching on the rear seat and the design of the rear grab rail both speak volumes about the effort that has been put into the creation of this scooter, even under the seat there were no wires, imperfections or mechanical bits visible, the key too followed the same tradition with a new fob design that makes it look like it was of a car. The 12 inch silver alloy wheels with its unique design also helps to set this bike apart from the crowd. Overall, the Wego definitely looks more stylish than the Activa but might not go down as a good looking machine with everyone out there, particularly the older crowd; it seems to suit a younger buyer

with its energetic lines. Looks aside, on the features front, the bike does have quite a lot to offer, firstly it features an all metal body which is different to the Scootys which features a fibre shell, the metal ensures longer life, stability due to the added weight, and durability in the event of bumps and dents, there have also been two patented features on the Wego, one is the EZ Stand, this is a spring operated stand with a long kick lever, its designed and positioned in a way that makes it amazingly easy to put the bike onto the centre stand, on testing it we found that it takes less effort, to place the bike on the main stand, than lifting a bag of rice provided the kick lever was firmly pushed to the ground,another patent has been applied for TVSs Body Balance Technology, more about this in the Handling section, this technology is a mix of components that enable the rider to have maximum steering ability and maneuverability in traffic or at cruising speeds. The Wego also features 12 inch alloy wheels for both front and back which is fitted with newly designed TVS Tyres. The scooter features twin telescopic front shock absorbers and a gas filled rear spring. There isnt any disc brake option for the bike and it features drum units for both front and rear. Another interesting feature is the integrated front storage compartment, this compartment isnt an add on accessory that seems to have been bolted into place like on the Activa, it is part of the standard package, the fuel lid is positioned right

behind the seat and can be opened by inserting a key on the left rear side of the bike, turning the key to the right opens the fuel lid and the key can be turned to the left to open the seat. Other features include a hook beside the ignition key slot for hanging bags or groceries weighing less than 3 Kgs, an optional under seat 12V socket for mobile charging and an illuminated key ring. Engine Performance and Drivability: The engine onthe Wego is an all new, all aluminum unit designed with two key principles in mind, low noise and less friction. On paper, it is a 109cc engine that produces 8.1 Bhp of power. The same basic engine was also featured on the Jive, TVSs no tension bike. On the test bike I was given the battery was disconnected since it had just arrived from the factory. So the only option was to kick start it. I put it into the main stand and kept kicking it, on the third kick, the lever went all the way down without any resistance and got me worried for a second, its only when I touched the seat that I felt that the engine was on, this wasnt a noisy place at the centre of town, it was a showroom on the side of a deserted highway at noon, and still the silence of the engine really made an Impression As I got on the highway, accelerating at full throttle, I remember a smile being put on my face by the scooter as I went on with the journey, there was an eerie silence about the engine, it literally felt like the Wego was running on butter instead of petrol, the engine was that smooth and quiet, yet, TVS doesnt mention this remarkable characteristic in any of the ads of the Wego, the company seems to be following a policy of Promise less, Deliver more. Riding without a pillion, I felt that the scooter had a decent level of pickup and acceleration; it was really hard to compare it to my friends Honda Activa I rode later that day simply because of the lack of engine noise.

In an Activa, on hard acceleration, the engine purrs audibly and the acceleration can really be felt and due to the lack of the rev counter, the engine noise can help in judging how fast the bike is accelerating in relation to the speed, but on the Wego due tosuppressed sound, all there is, is the feeling of gliding along, slowly getting faster and faster. Hence, in terms of a real world comparison of the two scooters, the Activa felt slightly faster, this might be due to psychological factors or because of the fact that TVS has tuned its scooter for better mileage than the rest. In the cities too, the engine feels stress free and ready to move at every twist of the throttle, with the ambient noises in city areas, it felt like driving an electric scooter around. Overall, in the engine and performance department, the Wego was impressive, not for its power, but for its amazing refinement, I honestly have yet to come across a bike or a scooter that has an engine that feels so pure and so smooth. With almost zero noise, theres no doubt that its a job well done by TVS. Ride, Handling and Ergonomics: The initial part of the test session covered deserted highways which had a glass like smoothness to them, needless to say, the bike felt rock solid on these roads, it was without a doubt, nimble and sporty, requiring nothing more than a slight twist of the hip to lean the bike, the bike did have great lean angles but the centre stand was always eager to touch the ground when turning to the left. At cruising speed, the Wego can take turns like a bee and is quite fun to ride too, but our Indian roads in general are far from glass-smooth so I found a path of bumpy inner roads to give the suspension a good work out.12 wheels are standard at both the front and rear and also, the front end sports dual telescopic arms and the rear houses a single gasfilled shabsorber,

though the rear suspension took every bump and pothole with smiles, the front suspension was quick to transmit some of the bumps onto the handlebars, it wasnt the most pleasant experience having my hands shaking like it was on a tractor engine while going through some rough patches. But, the rear felt really comfortable, the seat, though it seems flat, is actually curved well once a rider sits on it and is also soft, this added to the ride quality of the scooter and made up for the hard front end. To be honest, with the 12 wheels, I had expected a little more. But things started to get into the right perspective once I started using the brakes really well, the Wego, on hard braking, felt just like a two wheeler should feel, planted and secure. The front end dives in well and gives a great amount of feedback about the level of grip on the tires; this was more bike like and did not feel awkward even when the front brakes were tried on a patch of mud. It feels predictable and safe on braking despite the use of drum brakes. The 12 wheels also added to the feedback of the whole setup. Rubber quality, to say the least was good and it definitely felt a lot better than the ones used on the Scooty but not quite up to Activa standards. Speaking of the Wegos braking in comparison to the current market leader, Activa, its almost entirely different, the Activa features a bottom link, spring loaded hydraulic damper at the front, on the road this meant that the front of the bike actually rises up on applying the brakes, which can feel odd and also unpredictableon muddy roads, this issue is non-existent on the Wego since it uses the bike-like telescopic Suspension System. In the city though, TVSs body balance tech made its presence felt, with the least amount of effort required to flick the bike in and out of traffic, and roads. this technology, in my opinion consists of the 12 wheels, telescopic suspension in front, the comparatively higher ground clearance and a well implemented front

rear weight distribution. The good brakes on the scooter also lent a bit of confidence for taking it around at above average speeds. Overall, in the handling department, the bike felt refreshing; it was sporty, nimble, predictable and confidence inspiring, at the cost of being slightly bumpy on bad roads. Not bad at all. The Verdict: The Wego is definitely an impressive machine; its got some really appealing looks especially in that White color, sporty handling, good ride comfort, lots of storage space, mileage, and best of all, refinement. This scooter, without a doubt goes into my books as the quietest two wheeler I have ever ridden. Looking at the scooter segment from a business point of view, the Activa led the market due to its very conservative and simple looks which appealed to everyone from youngsters to adults, the Wego, though has a more energetic styling, one that the younger buyers would love and the older customers may loathe. On the whole its a welcome addition to the 110cc scooter segment. With the level of refinement and class that TVS has managed to cram into this little scooter, we wouldnt be surprised if the Wego took a big bite into the pie, the Activa had all to itself. The very well done stitching on the rear seat and the design of the rear grab rail both speak volumes about the effort that has been put into the creation of this scooter, even under the seat there were no wires, imperfections or mechanical bits visible, the key too followed the same tradition with a new fob design that makes it look like it was of a car.
