1. Introduction
General:
The Integrated Security System (ISS) is
one of the full security services systems that focusing on the accessing
controls, human safeties, to activate the alarm system, CCTV, including send notification
to the relevant entities. These services are established since 1962, in several
industries, institutions, health-cares centers, and etc. However it is not well
known product including very limited market.
The ISS designed to monitor all
activities around the building, inside the building, including send alarm
message over GSM telecom to the owner of the property or to the building responsible
persons.
Timor-Leste as a new country and it has
not have all facilities including human capacities to manage all nation assets,
either they are movements or fixes. There is manual tracking records system to
logs all movements of the assets and the fixes assets such as vehicles and
buildings. These manual systems have no accuracy on the movements of the
vehicles in order to manage the fuels, time of deliveries of goods and services
among government agencies and other entities.
We found that this is an opportunities
or open market to introduce the new ISS to the government and other
institutions in the country. When we introduce this system some of the
institution, we found a lot need in this area coming from the international
agencies who have high demands and enthusiasm to have this system immediately.
We also have support from local GSM Telecom Company who is operating 2G, 3G,
and GPRS which can support SMS tracking and monitor system.
Product Vision Statement: The ISS
implementation has to be easy, secure and safety, low cost, and powerful.
Mission Statement:
To
promote and develop the automated integration system as new low cost solution
model of telemetric technology for corporate, private and public sectors, and personal
needs.
Market Scope Statement: The
implementation of the ISS marketing expansion has to be in Timor-Leste society either
it is a private companies, personal properties, and public institutions. The ISS
marketing expansion has to be in line with the country law, business
opportunities, and investment policies in order to guarantee the secure of the
all assets of the public and private, human safety, including managing all
resources effectively and efficiently.
The Goal: To introduce a new way of doing the administrative
works in the, corporate, publics and privates sectors, including personals
properties. To introduce the first market penetration in Timor-Leste, and it is
using a Global Position System (GSP) and GSM Alarm system technology to gain

assets such as building vehicles, and human
safeties. It is also including activating the alarm system, CCTV recording, recording
position of the movement assets, and sending notification through existing global
system for mobiles (GSM) by using 3G or GPRS coverage to communicate back to
the web portal.
Timor-Leste as new
nation has lot of administrative works need to be done and to be taken in order
to monitor, track, and control the all assets including the relocation of the
resources to be more effective and efficient in all movements. All distribution
of goods and services are centralized in the capital of Dili. There for
government is looking for a better system to monitor and track rice (food) and
fuel distribution to the districts and sub-districts where to penetrate the
market price of the for the basic needs, including to monitor and track
government supplies fuels and other logistical materials to government entities
in the districts. The majority of the population are living in the districts and
sub-districts including in a rural areas where very limited of access road.
In other end International organizations and Non- Government Organization (NGOs) are also doing or delivering several projects and programs in to the districts including to the rural areas. They (the international organization) are willing to track and monitor all movement of their vehicles.
We do have a web portal
access that each customer has their own user id to access their vehicles
movement in the coverage on the GSM. Each devices has IMEI (International
Mobile Equipment Identity) in which able to identify the movement of the
equipment and able communicate with GMS over GPRS or 3G.

Product Strategy
”Product
is defining as anything that can be offer to the market for attention,
acquisition, use or consumption that might be satisfied wants or needs”,
Armstrong and Kotler (2010, P.248). Nowadays,
many companies moving to create new value for their customer in which products
and services commoditization. The companies are also managing the customer
experiences from the brand and company perspective.
According to the Armstrong and Kotler, product planners need to think about products and services in three levels. They are as follows: the first level is core customer value. The product designers and marketers have to identify the core, such as problem solving benefit and services that customers are looking for. For instance people are buying blackberry, are buying more than cell phone, e-mail device, and personal organizers.
They are buying freedom and on the go connectivity to the other people and resources. Other example stated by Charles Revson of Revlon: “in the factory, we make cosmetics, in the store, we sell hope.” The second level the product planners have to turn core benefit in to the actual product. They have to develop product and service features, design, quality level, brand name, and packaging. For example Blackberry Smartphone is actual product whereas it has been careful design, from the brand name, features, styling, parts, and other attributes are combined to delivery customers’ core value.
The third level is augmented product. The planners have to think additional values of improving the product. For instance Blackberry Smartphone has more than communication device. The agent will give the instruction on how to use it, free toll for asking question about the product, provide web site where customer can access for more information, quick repair service when needed, and etc.
Other things that have to include in the product strategy is product life cycle or PLC. There are five stage of the product life cycle as follow:
1.
Product development: where company invest
to the product idea with zero sales.
2.
Product introductory: where the new
product slow come to the market. Lot of promotion non existing profit
3.
Product growth: where the acceptances of
the product and increase the profit
4. Product
maturity: where the slowdown sales growth because most potential buyer are
reached and profit is off
5. Product
decline: where the sales fall and profit drop
This is to mention that not all products
are falling in the PLC. Some dies quickly, other are long time in the maturity,
other is decline and back to the maturity, and etc.
These all are giving an idea on how to
make right strategy for the product whereas starting from the product
development until it is in the market and have a profit from it.
a. Positioning:
Since Timor-Leste is a
new country whereas just in 9 years builds the country, it indeed needs lot
resources to help and to develop the nation. One of the resources is improving
the human capacity in all sectors. It is also including increasing the
knowledge of using of the technology. The human capacity to use the technology
today it is important in order to facilitate human works to be effective and
efficient from day to day. The Integrated Security System (ISS) is one of them.
The ISS product is new to the country and to the Timorese. Even so in the first
introductory model of the ISS well receives in the country. Especially the
enthusiasm is coming from the security agents in Timor-Leste. It is a good sign
for the new introductory ISS product and services. This is the only retail
agent in Timor-Leste. It is not a monopoly agent who is reselling the ISS
product. The market is open for the liberalization and player can be enter and
invest in the country.
The products
positioning in the market are very limited because this is still in the
introductory phase and we use short term period to do a piloting. The piloting
phase will take about 6 to 8 months and we are in the month three with 120
devices sold.
b. Product Strategy:
The ISS is a reseller agent which is focusing
on home security and car alarm system in the short term period. In the long run
the ISS agent will be focusing transforming warning system, vehicle tracking
system, hotel security system for the corporate. This will be in the middle
term (1-2 years). For the long term strategy the ISS is looking for integrated
system and services, including additional features for improvement base on
customer feedback and ideas. For the product and service maturity, the ISS is
predicting that it will be happening between middle term and long term.
There
are several products types and spesifications that agent has tested and has
ready in the stock to offer to the market. The agent has an aggreament with
factory on the products warannties and future further development of the
products, base on feeback from the customers. For instance there is an special
needs to combine serveral modules of the alarm system and tracking system in
one molude including the improvement features of the product.
c. Pricing Strategy:
Since in Timor-Leste up
to date has no competition of the products and services in the market, the
agent strategy price setting is based on the factory prices with
differentiation from distribution points, reseller, and retails. The figure 3
above show the differences is 10 percent.
The agent is targeting more customers in 2012 where country has national
election including more development in country site. We expect to have customer
increase by 10-25 percent. The operational cost for the customers will be
depending on the devices that customer bought from agent. The tracking system
relay is based web portal through GSM 3G and GPRS while and the alarm system
will base on demand in which through the GSM SMS.

Marketing Strategy
”These
days, the most advertisers are jumbling to have common sense of the web and
other digital media, everything from the web sites and online social networks
to webisodes and viral video”, Armstrong
and Kotler (2010, P.424).
The marketing strategy serves as the essential support of the
advertising preparation and it is designed to fill up the markets need and also
it is to reach the advertising objectives.
In the general the advertising strategy is developed with action
plan to be achieved in several years to come. The time of the execution of the
activities plan have to be defined. Each of the companies, industries, and
agencies has different approach of the marketing plans. The simple reason is
marketing dynamics, interactive and depending on the environment. Time horizon
becomes shorter when the environments are increasing.
The advertising strategy is always involving internal and external
environment in which can be resumed in Strengths Weakness Opportunities and
Threats (SWOT) analysis. The internal environment analysis is including
marketing mix, performance analysis, and strategic control. The external
environment analysis is including the customer’s analysis, target markets
analysis, competitor’s analysis, and also other environmental analysis such as
political, legal/law, cultural, economical, and technological environments.
One of the key components in the marketing strategy is companies,
industries, and marketers mission statement, it is also including product,
promotion, and pricing strategy.
There are 4-types of market strategy as follows:
ü As
a marketing Leader
ü As
a marketing challenger
ü As
a marketing follower
ü As
marketing nicher
Nowadays, “the industries and companies are
investing million and billions of the dollars to marketing or advertising their
products and service in the technological mass media such as TV and Radios
whereas expected that it would be reach larger audiences or customers in one
single ads”, Armstrong and Kotler (2010, P.427). It is
also adopting the concept of ht integrated marketing communication. In this
concept the blended mix of the advertising tools such as:
Marketing/Advertising, Personal Selling, Public Relation, Direct Marketing, and
Sales promotion.
The marketers need to know on how the
communications work effectively from the elements such as starting from the
sender, it is encoding, in to the messages, via media and noise, it is
decoding, and finally it will be reach the receivers.
The sender is the party who sending the message to the other party. The encoding is the process of putting thoughts in to a symbolic form or graphics form. The message is a set of symbolic transmitted by senders. The media is communication channel such as TV, newspapers, and etc. where message moves from the sender to the receivers. The decoding is the interpretation of the symbolic and the images by customers. The receiver is the party that receiving the message. The response is the reaction of the receiver after receiving the ads. The feedback is the responses from the receiver to communicate to the sender. The noise is unplanned distortion during the communication process.
There are several steps to develop
effective marketing communication as follow: Identifying the target audience,
define communication objective, design the messages, selecting media, choose
the message source, and collecting feedback.
These concepts are helping us to do
marketing strategy for our own products and services.
a. Marketing
Communications:
The Integrated Security
System (ISS) is a tracking and alarming system marketers communication is via
flyers and brochures in which we hand deliver to the customers while have held
seminars and workshops. We did build a good customer relationship, where the
customer can also promote our products and services to the new customers. The old
customers or the loyalty customers become a testimony during the workshop and
seminars.
Since we have no competitors in the country, we just use current customer’s addresses to updates new products or services or features or new add on features in to the current products. We also used ‘Facebook’ and emails group list to introduce new add-on of the products and services to the customers.
b. Advertising:
On the advertising
site, we do not have really much to say here. As it mentioned earlier that this
ISS have no competitors in the country and this is a new brand of the products
and services that we introduced to the customers. Therefore we just focusing on
the internal environment such as product and services while on the external we will
be focusing on customers, economic, culture, and law/legal’s.
c. Promotions:
We do have promotion packets in
which it has a free support service to the clients or the customer as part of
the strategic for selling products and services to attract new customers and
the loyal customers. The industries also have given a one year warrantees for
each purchase products it is including the responsibility the one time replacement
of the defected equipments.
7.
Distribution Strategy
In order to have a
right model of the marketing strategy, we do need a market assessment as it is
showing in the below diagram:
The 1st
process is the understanding of the customer’s needs and place where we will do
marketing for the products and services. The 2nd process is
designing marketing strategy for the customer driven. The 3rd
process is making an integration plan and programs for highest delivery values.
The 4th process is building a solid customers relationship and
mutual profitable. The 5th process is capturing the value from the
customers in order to create profits for companies and also maintain the
customer equity.
How do we implement the
distribution strategies? First of all we will be starting to disseminate the
information with seminars/workshops, showcases, bring the customers
flyer/catalogs, collecting customer’s information and feedbacks. In the distribution
channel the member in the channel will be have the additional value such as:
-
Collecting information and exchange the
information among parties in the channels;
-
Developing a product promotion to the
customers;
-
Sharing customers contacts information
among channels members;
-
This is also an opportunities to do a
shaping and fitting the offer to the buyer’s;
-
This is also place to do a negotiation
where to agree the price and the ownership;
-
The physical distribution refers to
transporting and storing goods; financing refers to acquiring and using funds
to cover the costs or carrying out the channel work;
-
And risk taking refers to assuming the
risks of carrying out the channel work;
We will be using the
direct marketing channel in the short term and in the midterm where, we will be
interacting directly with the customers. While, interacting with the customers,
we will be able to build our own customers contact data-bases, whereas to
collect the customers information, their feedbacks, and comments about the
products and services. This is to ensure the CRM. The collections of the
information about the customers are broadly, because some customers are might not
loyal but they will be prospect customers. The collection of the information
are categorize in the geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral.
For the long term marketing strategy, we will use the multi channels marketing
or marketing mix in which, it is including the using of the social networks,
intermediaries, and on-line marketing.
