Dawlance, the no. 1 home appliances brand of Pakistan recently Karachi, October 26, 2010
launched another product to enhance their category range. It is breakthrough innovation. The latest
addition to H-Zone range is the Dawlance Automatic Washing Machine (Model # DWF-3500HZ).
This machine, apart from functioning as a regular automatic washing machine, has a revolutionary
Air Wash feature that turns air into Ozone (O3) to sterilize, kill bacteria and remove odor from
products like cushions, school bags, gloves, leather jackets, hand bags, high heels, business suits,
delicate women’s clothes and stuffed toys. Backed and verified through research, Dawlance
revealed that people now expect much more from a washing machine than just washing of clothes.
Both fast-paced lifestyle and a concern for better health among today’s home maker means they
want the washing machine to provide more varied washing options and convenient cleaning
solution in the shortest possible time.

ii. Price Strategy:
Dawlance has got a policy that their all product price should be the same in all cities and
town in Pakistan market. Dawlance bear freight cost and make their product available to their
dealers irrespective of where they are located. For this, they give uniform margin to their dealers
irrespective of whether he is big or small. It believes that their retail prices should be uniform all
over the country irrespective of whether customers buy from Peshawar or Karachi. In order to
maintain a uniform price all over the country, Dawlance bear transportation charges and make the
product available at cost price at dealer premises.
iii. Promotion Strategy:
Dawlance promotion budget is around 1.75% of their turnover. 40% spending of their
budget is Print Media, 20% goes on TV, 20% on out door activity and balance 20% on Sales
Promotion activity. They believe that print media and out door activity help them to reach to their
target customer. Due to satellite transmission and having multi-channels, it does not pay one unless
you have very huge budget to spend on this media. On promotion, their spending is more on
consumer incentive schemes. Since it pay them and there is direct relationship between sales and
consumer. Further, it gives customer a direct benefit in shape of price reduction.
iv. Distribution Strategy:
Dawlance has got around 800 dealers all over the country. Dawlance ensures that its
refrigerators are available almost in all appliances markets of Pakistan. They have got 80%
penetration in dealer sector. One can get very easily their product in any city or small town of
Pakistan. Dawlance has got various types of dealers according to their potential. Around 25% of
dealers are "A-class" dealers who sell over 1000 units and above per year. "B-class" dealers are
those dealers who sell from 400 units up to 999 units per year. They are around 50% in total dealer
and the rest are in best 25% of "C-class" dealers sell from 200 up to 399 units per year. He
maximum delivery time incase stock is delivered from Hyderabad Factory is four (4) days.
However if supply is given from closest warehouse then hardly it takes 2-3 hours time. They
believe that, timely delivery of their product to the dealer is one of an important element in their
success in Pakistan.
After Sale Service:
Dawlance believes that after sales service is one of the most important elements of
marketing mix and thus give due emphasize in providing quality after sale service to its refrigerator
customers. Dawlance has got qualified foreign-trained engineers in its team of after sale service
and also properly trained technicians and supervisors who look after service centers and provide
reliable quality after sales service to its customers. Dawlance has got 17 its own service centers in
different parts of country. Besides, they have got 34 franchise workshops to cover remote areas,
where its service center doesn't exist. These are service centers and franchise workshops cover
almost 99% market of Pakistan. Wherever Dawlance dealer is, there you'll find Dawlance
workshop or either franchise workshop to take care of service need. In order to provide satisfactory
13
after-sales service, Dawlance ensures that in its entire service centers sufficient inventory of spare
parts is maintained; even these are available with franchise workshops
1.4 Brand Positioning In Customer Mind
Dawlance obtained a good position in the buyer because mind through better product and unique
attributes, price and quality, offering the product in different ways when the competitors do.
Dawlance is unique position in customer mind reliable, honest and healthy/green environments.
The company offer improved quality of products in the industry at an affordable price with high
reliable branding. The market share of the company in refrigerator industry is around 65%. Now a
days a good position of Dawlance in customer mind is H-zone.
Whereas the LG pricing strategy is cost + fixed mark up to cover their GP. Since they cater to
upper middle and upper class, therefore their 90% dealers are in big cities only. Product-wise price
list enclosed in appendix for reference. LG follows pricing policy in which their normal formula is
import cost + reasonable gross profit to cover their marketing expenses and also give them
reasonable profit. As far as Advertising strategy of LG is concerned, it is being planned and
executed by LG, Korea through their Pakistan Office keeping in view their global approach and
theme line. Local Agent of LG simply gives advice and coordinates in its implementation. Since
LG is a multi-national brand, their spending on advertising is in such a way that their all product
get promoted. Although for different product they have got different agent; like for TV, New
Electronics/Karachi. For computer monitor, Vision Computer. For mobile phone, Chimera.
Relatively LG refrigerator's parts are expensive comparative to locally make because LG imports
spare parts from Korea and various other LG production centers. One of the reasons for being these
parts expensive is that LG's local agent has to pay almost 70% of the product cost towards import
14
duty, sales tax and other import cost. We can say that LG also believe in quality, after sale service
to its customers and also considers after sales service as one of the important element of marketing
mix.
Opportunities
The electronic market is expanding rapidly which is a great opportunity for Dawlance to expand
itself in new market and to capture more market share. It also can expand its target market
geographically and socially both by introducing new products in existing market and existing
products in new markets. Through the innovation and green marketing concept in existing products
it can attract more customers because at present it is behind the market leadership so to become a
leader it has to make innovations to attract potential buyers and retain existing customers.
Threats
As the competitors of Dawlance are more dominant in the market and continuously improving their
products so they can take away the existing customers of Dawlance, so it has to work very hard to
retain and attract customers. Its major competitor LG focuses on the Appearance style and impact
of COO of foreign brand in Pakistan market. The economic position of the Pakistan is also threats
for Dawlance. The condition of economy all around the world is not good and it is affecting the
purchasing power and priorities of the customers, people are facing difficulties in satisfying basic
and needs so how they can spend on electronics which is considered as luxury items. This situation
can affect the sales of the company.
