1.  Title of the Research: A study on brand awareness, reach and effectiveness of promotional

campaign of telecom player in India.

2.  Rational of proposed investigation: The study will help all the telecom players to

understand the effectiveness of promotional campaign in their sector for making the

strategies by knowing that how many customers are able to get their message and how

much they are aware of. And it will also help the society to understand the particular brand.

3.  Review of work already done on the subject

Indian telecommunications today benefits from among the most enlightened regulation inthe region, and arguably in the world. The sector, sometimes considered the “poster-boy for

economic reforms,” has been among the chief beneficiaries of the post-1991 liberalization.

The mobile sector has grown from around 10 million subscribers in 2002 to reach 350 million

by early 2009 registering an average growth of over 90%. The two major reasons that have

fuelled this growth are low tariffs coupled with falling handset prices.

Seth et al (2008), in their study titled “Managing the Customer Perceived Service Quality for

Cellular Mobile Telephone: an Empirical Investigation” analyzed that there is relative

importance of service quality attributes and showed that responsiveness is the most

importance dimension followed by reliability, customer perceived network quality,

assurance, convenience, empathy and tangibles. This would enable the service providers to

focus their resources in the areas of importance. The research resulted in the development

of a reliable and valid instrument for assessing customer perceived service quality for cellular

mobile services.

Kalpana and Chinnadurai (2006) in their study titled “Promotional Strategies of Cellular

Services: A Customer Perspective” analyzed that the increasing competition and changing

taste and preferences of the customer’s all over the world are forcing companies to change

their targeting strategies. The study revealed the customer attitude and their satisfaction

towards the cellular services in Coimbatore city.

Samuvel, “customer satisfaction for cellular services, a study with a reference to BPL and

Aircel mobile phones and services”, a published M.Phil. dissertation, submitted to

Bharathiar university, Coimbatore, December 2002

Rick (2008): in his study found that companies with sound customer strategies can use that

ultimate loyalty program as a differentiator in an increasingly muddled market. In an

increasingly competitive market, customer loyalty efforts can play a major part in the

attraction of new customers and the retention of current ones. As consumers' choices

expand, the importance of a sound customer relationship strategy becomes more and more

important for the success of the company.

Shikha Ojha (2009) conducted a study on “Consumer Awareness of VAS of Telecom Sector of 

India”. She analyzed the contribution of the mobile phone services not only at the national or

state level, but also its involvement in an individual's life. She found out that the less number

of users are aware of all the VAS provided by the service providers and thus the companies

should focus on the awareness campaign.

J D Power(2009) conducted a study on “Customers increasingly want telecom services and

products to be bundled” based on responses collected from 11,911 customers nationwide

and examined the overall customer satisfaction on six factors – customer service, reliability,

billing, image, cost of service, offers & promotions.

Girish Taneja & Neeraj Kaushik (2007) conducted a study on “Customers perception towards

Mobile service providers: An analytical study” aims to deduce the factors that customers

perceive to be the most important while utilizing the services of a mobile service provider.

Anita Seth (2007) in his study on “Quality of service parameters in cellular mobile

communication” developed a model of service quality and a set of dimensions for

comparative evaluation which could provide useful directions to regulators and service

providers.
