1.0 Introduction

The Volkswagen group is amongst the automobile manufacturers household globally and the leading producers in Europe. Founded in 1937 as a ("Society for the preparation of the German People's Car") by the Nazi Deutsche Arbeitsfront, Volkswagen has been a fascinating brand for many years (Gomes-bule et al., 2013). It's premised on the manufacturing of the Volkswagen motor vehicles. The firm is dedicated to delivering “safe and environmentally sound” motor vehicles (Joseph, 2016). Its brands include but are not limited to Volkswagen AG, Audi, Porsche, Škoda, operating in several countries in Europe and Asia.

 To successful drive Volswagen in achieving its 2025 strategic goal, Argon associates suggested that “Rev, Steer and Accelerate” is a strategic plan targeting rebuilding its customer trust and loyalty, identifying the potential markets for its products in different parts of the world and investment in the future premised on making Volkswagen the leading car manufacturer in the world (Bai, 2021). After the company provided to its stakeholder a tailored assurance on matters of accountability and trust, the next agenda was identifying key markets for growth. The core factor in the selection of the market was the growth and size of its automobile industry. Thus, the company targets markets in Europe, Asia and America. Apart for China market, the Singapore market is among the markets Volkswagen considered as a key market within the Asia region (Lim, 2017). In the narrow sense, Volswagen group Singapore operating as an automobile retailer consists of sales and service facilities (Volkswagen Singapore, 2016). The dealership is cast on the Volkswagen Golf mode since Sedan car has the vast of the Singapore automobile market share making hatchback Golf with little market share control (Leow, 2016).

 2.0 Situation analysis

The Volkswagen group is among the leading automobile vehicle manufacturing companies both in terms of sales and revenues. Subsequently, in 2020, its namesake Volkswagen was controlling close to 8% of the worldwide automotive market share, coming second to the leaders Japan-based Toyota (Carlier, 2021). In 2021, Volswagen was ranked among the top ten most valuable brands in the car dealership sector. Its impressive performance is in a midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2015, in Singapore in the sales realm, Volkswagen was ranked 7th and 2nd in the automobile industry (Focus2move, 2015).  The segment exposition is on the internal and external environment of the organization, customers and other core factors prerequisite to develop strategies to outperform its industry rivals in Singapore.  In effect, its balloon its customer base and increase the rate of customer retention evidently in the increment of the company’s financial performance and equity in Singapore.  The utilization of models is central to the analysis of Market Analysis, Competitor Analysis and Company Analyses.

2.1 SWOT analysis

The SWOT analysis is integral in exploring factors that affect the micro and macro environment of Volkswagen in Singapore. They are useful in making the most appropriate strategic decision for Volkswagen marketing plan

2.1.1 Strength

 2.1.1.1Powerful global brand

 The company has a verse of products in its portfolio. Its rich portfolio makes the brand attractive to a different market segment. Subsequently, the models are respected and recognized across the world since they are designed as per the varying needs of the customers.

2.1.1.2 Strong research and development (R&D) department

In recent times the company has been heavily investing in its research and development (R&D). In particular, in 2020, Volkswagen spends more on R&D compared to its main competitor, Toyota (Cookie, 2020).  The research undertakings include connectivity, lightweight construction and many more research activities.

2.1.1.3 Strong manufacturing capabilities

 The company owns 118 production plants globally. Being among the leading manufacturers in the automobile industry, suggests that the company can maintain equilibrium between the demand and supply of the products. Consequently, in 2020 the firm produced 8.9 million vehicles defining it as world-class (Walters and Herman, 2020).

2.1.2 Weakness

2.1.2.1 High competition

  Within the automobile industry, the luxury vehicles segment experience a high level of competition. It is the main reason why Volkswagen has been facing difficulties in emerging markets such as Singapore. Singapore is a booming market that allows its residents to invest in luxury cars. The company is facing many competitors especially those providing elements in mid-range vehicles in Asia which are cheaper, for instance, Toyota (Nag et al., 2007). Within the Singapore city spectrum, those people with high purchasing power prefer other cheaper brands. Furthermore, certain brands in Volkswagen portfolio require a heavy budget for branding. Therefore, there is a need for a heavy amount to maintain branding.

2.1.2.2 Weak brand image

Since Volkswagen made a late entry into the market, its brand is still weak in Singapore. This aspect makes the company lose its competitive edge in the Singapore luxury vehicles market.

2.1.2.3 Fuel guzzlers and environmental unfriendly

 Some of the cars in Volkswagen such as Audi are fuel guzzlers and have high emissions of gases. High emissions of gas especially CO2 affects negatively the environment resulting in global warming. The cars are fuel guzzlers burning fuel fast causing high fuel costs. The vehicles are not environmentally friendly and cost-friendly compared to its competitors.

 2.1.3 Opportunities

2.1.3.1 Demand for continental cars and eco-friendly

 The entire global technological spectrum has been on the advancement tenure in recent times. Therefore, Volkswagen needs to seize the opportunity and modernize its products to be innovative as possible. The designs are fuel-friendly and eco-friendly. The introduction of eco-friendly cars in the market will help in the reduction of emission of CO2 gas directly linked to global warming

2.1.3.2 Growing trends for continental cars

 The population growth rate and the improvement of roads infrastructure will increase the motor vehicles demand. Although most of the customers are looking for cost-effective cars, a percentage of the population is looking for elegant and expensive cars.  The demographic is more obsessed with their image and general reputation (Oswin, 2010). Therefore, Volkswagen should capitalize on this market segment.

2.1.4 Threats

2.1.4.1 Environmental unfriendly

The preexisting climate crisis is heavily associated with motor vehicles. Therefore, since, most of the Volkswagen cars are fuel guzzlers and emit a lot of gas, they cause environmental degradation.  The need for green vehicles from Volkswagen is an immediate necessity.

2.1.4.2 Recession

 With the beckoning global recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the aftermath of these uncertainties, the company’s turnover is threatened. The company is expecting a drop in their sales revenue

2.2 Porter analysis

 2.2.1 Medium bargaining power of buyers

 Most business invests heavily on the marketing and promotion to attract more customers. In both the high-end and cheaper cars segments, competition has ballooned, and brands are continuing to improve to bring results that address consumer’s desires. VW spent 4.8 billion Euros on R&D in 2017 (Chechelski, 2017). Due to the Golf's similarities in design and features to those of its competitors, purchasers are not confined to a small number of options. Buyers have a lot of negotiating leverage because of the availability of alternative cars and the low cost of switching brands. In that case, an automobile is just one of the alternatives such as public transportation. Cars are regarded 'luxury' means of transport, and consumers' power is dispersed across the competitive marketplace. Since there is no group of customers that can vastly impact on the price and the brands in shelf, the aspect delimits buyers’ purchasing power.

2.2.2 Low bargaining suppliers power

The Volkswagen Group's suppliers have low bargaining power, since the organization is engaging numerous suppliers all over the world. In the case of Toyota and General Motors, the situation is similar. Suppliers are required to follow fully VW-developed code of conduct. Furthermore, VW is a major, financial strong corporation with a well-structured world supply chain and distribution network. The car industry's bargaining strength is likewise limited because it may always move to new suppliers (Willard et al., 1998). In a situation where manufacturers are contractually obligated to employ specific supplier, the cost of switching suppliers decreases over time. Manufacturers will move to other suppliers if they are unable to achieve these requirements (Volkswagen, 2015). Finally, due to the large number of providers in the business, suppliers have limited bargaining leverage.

2.2.3 Low threats of new entrants

Public transit is the typical diesel automobile replacement. It poses only a minor risk. To begin with, even if taking public transportation in a city is quite handy, individuals still have to rely on cars in some underdeveloped areas. Second, taking public transit to wherever one wants to go is not as convenient as driving one's own automobile. With your own car, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. Despite the fact that more individuals are concerned about the environment, they still prioritize convenience.

It is unsurprising that the automobile sector has significant hurdles to entry. As a result, the risk of new competitors is minimal. To begin with, the start-up costs are so enormous that few people will enter this market. Second, achieving economies of scale is challenging for a new entrant. Finally, establishing a distribution channel is tough. Last but not least, people are loyal to their brands, thus it will take a long time for a new entry to establish a brand and gain customer trust.

 2.2.4 Medium threats of competitors

The automotive sector is expanding at a rapid pace. Automobiles are now more of a commodity than a luxury. This rising demand opens up a plethora of possibilities. The increased rate of growth reduces rivalry's competitiveness. In this sector, fixed costs are quite high, which boosts competition because more sales are required to generate a profit. In the automotive sector, differentiation strategy is relatively scarce. Until now, the characteristics that distinguish one automobile from another have been factors, but they have not always been crucial to buyers. While automobiles are becoming increasingly differentiated, the essential elements that customers demand remain more or less the same across the board.

3.0 objectives

The objectives were derived from the TOWS analysis

WT: VW will identify the opportunities in its external environment, but its weakness will prevent the firm from taking full advantage of the market demand.  For instance, since the opportunity is high demand for eco-friendly vehicles and low fuel consumption the company weakness is having a portfolio with cars that are the high consumption of fuel and heavy emitters of gasses. Therefore, the VW aims to increase by 20% within one year the capacity of production of vehicles that consume low fuel and are eco-friendly.

 

WT: the company is targeting to reduce its weakness and minimize the threats.  VW is targeting the Singapore market where most people prefer cheap cars. The company is also facing competition from companies dealing with both cheap and luxury motor vehicles. Therefore, VW targets diversity and introduce new products (cheaper brands) to increase its sales by 30% in 2 years.

4.0 Marketing strategy

Premised on its strategic growth judgments and undertakings, Volkswagen has been impactful worldwide in identifying and managing risk. Based macro and micro environment factors, these development choices and routes are influenced by different regions, at different period. Volkswagen, in a nutshell, has employ Ansoff matrix severally to create game changing strategies. They are follows:

4.1 Increase the capability of production

As a result of elevated production capacity, Volkswagen will be able to reach a larger number of customers in Singapore. This would lead to better efficiency and productivity, especially in terms of lowering overhead costs. Managed overhead expenses would lead in competitive rates, attracting consumers from the same market. Increased desirability and competitive rates in same industry will lead to more sales and consumption and hence more market dominance.

4.2 New products

Volkswagen has the ability to recognize new features and attributes in existing products that are responsive to the changing markets. As a result of this recognition, new and imaginative product consumption intentions and behaviors will emerge. Volkswagen customers should also be educated about the company's new and creative consumption habits and consumable ways. Overconsumption among current and emerging consumer groups and divisions will result from improved marketing and communication of new model uses and advantages, as well as qualities. Volkswagen will be able to expand its overall market presence in current businesses as a result of this.

4.3 Diversification

Diversification refers to “a company's expansion and development as a result of new product development in new markets” (Ansoff, 1957). It is vital since it allows companies like Volkswagen to remain efficient, creative, and aggressive, and hence attractive to growth markets. 

4.3.1 Diversification on the vertical plane

Vertical diversification for Volkswagen entails coming up with new product within their spectrum to attract more customers for further growth

This implies that Volkswagen's future product advancements and launches will be similar to, and will fall into existing product groups and classifications.

4.3.2Diversification on the horizontal plane

Horizontal diversification refers to Volkswagen's decision to launch and interact with potential product developments with varies features compared to the current product.

Nonetheless, announcing new product launches and advancements for goods that compete in similar economic environments as the upcoming products is useful.

5.0 Marketing mix

5.1 Product

Volkswagen has been selling Volkswagen Golf automobiles in Singapore since 2003, including the Golf GT MK6 variant (SGCarMart, 2016). Volkswagen has continuously introduced new technology and upgraded the external and interior styling of the Volkswagen Golf since its debut in Singapore. Volkswagen introduced the Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI (DRG) line in 2015, which is lighter and more fuel-efficient than previous models. The most sophisticated engine, safety features, and sleek exterior appearance are all included in the current line. In 2015, the Golf R-Line, a relative’s variant with new options such as a panoramic sunroof, was introduced Volkswagen Singapore (Volkswagen Singapore, 2016). With the company turnover being 32500 vehicles daily, it prices its products competitively in certain developing nations and relatively high in advanced economies where the brand can command a higher premium. Therefore, it is expected in Singapore the prices of VW brands to be slightly lower compared to prices in Western and American countries.

Furthermore, the company depends on its higher quality brands as the measure of the expensive prices of its products. Psychological pricing is one of the approaches used by VW to peddle its pricing mechanism. The buyers are willing to pay high prices without feeling remorseful since the products are of high quality. The car spares are also very expensive, thus the pricing strategy in the marketing strategy of VW is grounded on different aspects

5.2 Places

Volkswagen vehicles may be found almost wherever on the world. Having assembly lines and manufacturing facilities in multiple destinations across the globe. They include but not limited to China, Germany, UK and USA. Volkswagen built a new facility in Singapore for $140 million to manufacture large transport vehicles and multi-vans after recognizing Singapore as a leading destination for car and van sales. The Golf will be made in China and supplied in Singapore (Volkswagen, 2016). We assessed the following major aspects to offer an acceptable Place strategy for efficiently distributing the Golf to the Singapore market: Distribution Channel Distribution Strategy Degree of Market Exposure

Limited Market Exposure The degree of market exposure is linked to the distribution strategy chosen. Golf is a specialty item that necessitates a high level of commitment in the purchase decision. Furthermore, Singapore's tiny size, along with the specific target market, necessitates a limited distribution footprint.

Distribution Methodology Distribution by Invitation Only

The focus will be on preserving the quality of distribution rather than developing widespread coverage, depending on the degree of market exposure. It's best to have an exclusive distribution strategy with a small number of intermediates and middlemen. Other distribution tactics can be controlled to the greatest extent possible with this strategy. This allows the company to focus on dedicated and specialized personal selling, as well as significant after-sales care, in order to retain the Golf's exclusive quality.

5.3 Promotional

The promotional mix's goal is set following the product life cycle. These are the following:

1) Enhance brand awareness

 2) Developing an elegance outlook

3) Develop an eco-friendly and fuel-efficient perception

 The comprehensive communication plan would be successful in addressing company image, increasing brand engagement with the Golf, and meeting the key market's expectations. Associating qualities with a product/brand is a good way to establish a product image. We feel that the promotional mediums listed above will achieve the marketing objectives and result in increased sales.

The goal of the promotional strategy is to sell the Golf using the company's basic principles. Each of the techniques will assist consumers in identifying with the organization's basic values, thereby impacting thoughts and behaviours. Manufacturer Volkswagen SG Singapore Market 16 This is in direct opposition to the existing promotional strategy, which emphasizes product offerings. This is more efficient in engaging customers' inner selves, impacting their outer selves buying decisions (Zinkhan and Hong, 1991).

5.3.1 Advertising:

 It is a significant tool for creating the brand awareness across a larger geographical region. To reach the target population it is important to utilize traditional advertising methods such as television, radios and newspaper. Multiple measures help to mitigate the risk of individual media fragmentation. Furthermore, all three mediums complement the target market's demographic profiles. Regular advertising across several channels improves product awareness and confidence. Golf's appeal to the psychographic description of the target audience, which values respectable and well-known brands, grows as a result.

 5.3.2 Digital advertising

Advertising on the Internet Singaporeans is heavily connected to the internet (80% internet penetration), which allows you to reach out to a larger number of individuals at a lower cost (DIL, 2015). SEO will be utilized to guide online traffic to the Volkswagen website based on the target market's behavior. The website will be necessary for communicating information and comparing models. Thus, the company can boost its digital advertising through social media platforms. Digital marketing provides a platform for the company to reach out to a wider audience both in Singapore and overseas. Social media approach is cost-effective and the company can incorporate ads to generate traffic on its webpage.

5.4 Price

Because Golf is a continental automobile, demand for it is market-oriented. In the existing economy, many competing automakers produce hatchback vehicles with similar features at lower prices. As part of this approach, Volkswagen will distinguish the Golf in regarding product offering and value.

Value-Added Pricing Method Volkswagen will offer competitive pricing for a high-quality offering. This is performed through redesigning the company's capabilities to build cars at a lower cost while preserving high quality. We recommend adding extra upgraded services to generate differentiating value: Added extra year of warranty to the present three-year warranty. Additional after-sale support free components substitution for a set amount of time; complimentary vehicle accessories; new technology and features

To lure consumers, we avoid price reduction approach since it dwindle the brand image after sometimes. By providing more post-sales coverage than the Golf, it provides better peace of mind when making a purchase decision, which has been identified as valuable because it fulfils cost-conscious needs. This provides more value over time and will earn loyal clients by providing extra services that competitors do not provide.

 5.5 People

 VW sales department are playing an integral role in the marketing of the company’s brands.

The company takes their sales team to regular training to enhance their persuading techniques and have moral values when handling the customers. The ethics values within the customer acre department make sure that the customers are handled with respect and their concerns are solved.  The human capital in the supply gain management works closely with the suppliers. A good working relationship with the suppliers will ensure that VW is maintained and improve the quality of its end product.  Therefore, to uphold the people in high standard the organization should:

ü  The customer care and sales department should undergo regular training as there are central in the delivery of values to the customers.

ü  Provisions of incentives such as commission and bonuses for meeting the sales targets

ü  The high individual who upholds and values respect towards customers and have integrity.

5.6 Process

Ensure that the products are always available in the retail stores. Therefore, the supply in the retail stores should meet the demand.  They are systems installed in the stores to monitor the inventory levels when they are low.  The company has adopted an information system in its ordering aspect. The online ordering system enables the customers to place their orders online and shipment of their orders to a place convenient to them. Therefore it is important to research the market opportunities as a prerequisite in understanding the needs of the customer. VW needs to do improve on its information system to increase robustness and customer services quality.

5.7 Physical evidence

 The company should place all their brands on distinctive shelves. This helps the customers in locating the brands in a busy store.  Utilization of the website that is user friendly to aid the potential customers to view the images of VW brands in high resolution.  Therefore the company

 Need to collect feedback from the customers regarding the general outlook

Set up stores within the shopper-friendly environment.

6.0 Actions

 Sokowski (2015), the objectives need to be smart. The total budget is $ 624, 564

Digital marketing

 The company website needs to contain profound insight on all the motor vehicles on sale that should act as the buying guide for the buyers. The website should also be user friendly with images of the car brands in high resolution so that buyers can see properly the products and their specifications. To facilitate this, the plan has budgeted $99,187. For social media marketing, they should focus on publishing posts on the newly available model and the ways that give the user a new experience. Social media should have links to the company website where the buyers can get more information on the brand of the vehicle.  The fiscal year social media marketing is $234,088. In other words, the budget breakdown is as follows: twitter, $90,800, Facebook, $83,799 and Instagram, $59,489.

 The use of traditional advertising approaches will use short videos and posters to advertise the brands to indicate new functionality that shows why the latest VW brand is the most powerful brand in the market currently. The poster should indicate the company’s contact and any discount offers. For effective advertising the plan has set aside $ 209, 289 that covers print, radio and television ($50, 589, $56,500 and $102,200 respectively).

 7.0 Control

It is necessary for the marketing strategies to b controlled in terms of intermediary and final results. For social media marketing, the company needs to look into the number of likes, share and comments to track its performance. Furthermore, to assess social media marketing, they should be monitoring the number of leads through the company activities (Ryan, 2016)

Subsequently, VW needs to monitor consumer proactivity. This is through using the social media platform to form a communication channel where they can have a conversation with the customers. It should also be critical in controlling the consumer sign of dissatisfaction (Hanlon, 2019).

  In the advertising using traditional adverting approaches the company should ensure that all the adverting is ruined in the rush hours when most of the potential customers can get the message.

8.0 Conclusion

 

VW marketing plan uses SOSTAC model to come up with strategic model prerequisite for improving its overall performance. The plan has indicated Singapore is an emerging market for luxury cars that is yet to be fully tapped. Therefore, Using SWOT tools to analyze the internal and external environment provide the holistic view of what needs to be done.  The objective of the plan is to increase the production capacity and diversification to address the weakness and threats of VW in Singapore market segment.
