twenties to their fifties, or even older, if they have the financial means to acquire and
utilize the Samsung goods on the market. Early adolescent to early adult (ages 14 to
25) This age range of Samsung product users is typically Samsung's smartphone target
market, as they are typically tech-savvy. This category of clients is expanding because

appliances such as vacuum cleaners or washing machines. The market segment will
material testing facility. The show's main attraction was a massive white machine
donated by Samsung Electronics at a fraction of its market value. After Japan placed
export restrictions on high-tech chip materials, the facility was established to encourage
local producers to develop and test chipmaking materials such as photoresists, which is
becoming increasingly important as the South strives for self-sufficiency (CNBC, 2020).

Another prospective market is Japan, where Samsung Electronics recently announced
that it had been selected as a 5G network solution supplier for NTT DOCOMO, INC., a
prominent Japanese operator. Samsung will work with DOCOMO to deliver richer 5G
services to people, accelerate digital transformation for enterprises, and benefit society

business has sold over 400 million mobile handsets. Samsung's revenue comes from
memory, System LSI, and foundry companies in the last sector, Device Solutions. The
business is the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips. DRAM, mobile DRAM,
and consumer SSDs are some of the goods that come within the memory business. The
System LSI business includes Samsung's Dual-Pixel image sensor and FinFET process
technology, among other things. Finally, FinFET mobile SoCs (System-on-Chips) and
the FD-SOI make up the foundry industry (Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator).
Distribution Methods
If shops are ready to accept stock, Samsung can sell their goods everywhere. As
a result, Samsung can sell to customers directly or indirectly. Except in the United
States, where the telecom connection requires Samsung to develop multiple phone
versions, Samsung can swiftly grow and saturate the market with their goods (s).
companies. This is extremely valuable; Samsung does not require many resources to
introduce their phones and tablets to new areas. More significantly, they do not require
many resources to bring their phones and tablets to new countries. Other Samsung
goods will be distributed through these distribution channels in the future. This implies
that companies can easily advertise more than simply gadgets if they want to
(Trevzsaaga, 2016).

Samsung has a good relationship with global air/sea carriers and forwarders to
ensure dependable logistics. Services include air/sea freight, express, local transport,
foreign transportation options. Samsung uses data from IoT devices, boats, AIS, and
GPS to track the location and condition of the shipments. By evaluating and processing
data, we can also increase the efficiency of logistical operations. We can deliver
dependable services because of our strong partnerships with worldwide air/sea carriers
and forwarders. Multimodal transportation, which combines the advantages of air, sea,
and train, is also an option. We take care of logistical operations from departure to
arrival while offering a single point of contact, thanks to our worldwide network of 58
locations in 37 countries and our relationship with 1,900 partners (SamsungSDS, n.d.).

Electronics Co. will increase its foldable device production capacity in response to
unanticipated global demand for its Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 products. Its display
division would boost its annual foldable production capacity by 47 percent, from 17
million to 25 million. Samsung plans to expand its Bac Ninh facility in Vietnam in the
second half of this year, with total production expected by the end of the year or early
next year. Samsung took the choice owing to high market demand. With 920,000 pre-
orders reported in South Korea, Samsung will need to expand its facilities to meet future
sales since it will likely add three additional manufacturing lines to its present seven,
allowing the business to control production volume more flexibly (Android Authority,
2014).

comparatively high due to its novelty, consumer advantages, or present Wow factor.
However, as the product becomes more established in the market, the price gradually
drops and is brought to market at a competitive price. Skimming allows the company to
change and update its prices in response to the growing competition, resulting in a

lower price to attract more customers. Suppose other smartphones are brought to the
market. In that case, the firm will need to decrease its costs so that people who want to
Samsung, like Apple, utilizes price skimming to get an advantage over its competition.
For example, Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro, the company's first smartphone with 6GB RAM,
was reduced in price in India in October and is currently available for Rs. 29,900. The
model saw its first price reduction in June, bringing the price down to Rs. 31,900 from
Rs. 36,900 at launch. To be competitive in the market, Samsung will stick to its price-
revision approach. Setting the price of a product or service depending on what the
competitor is charging is competitive pricing. The Samsung 8+, which was just released,
is the finest illustration of this, competing with the iPhone X at a lower price. Before
then, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge were priced similarly to the iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6+. As a result, Samsung delivered greater features and competed on price to
gain market share. Pricing is critical for a business because it guarantees that the
company conveys the value they place on a product. This is especially true when
consumers judge and decide on the worth of a product based on the established price.
As a result, price is an important marketing component since it conveys the market and

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
Samsung uses both a push and a pull strategy in their advertising campaign,
which includes many discounts. Samsung places its items through sales and advertising
advertising accomplishes it. The company uses commercial placements in key events
such as the Super Bowl as part of its push advertising strategy. Like many other
companies, Samsung uses social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
to keep its online presence up to date. Samsung establishes and maintains contact with
its consumers through these social media marketing techniques. They also use social
networking platforms to make announcements about their new items. Pull advertising
strategies include initiatives like these. Samsung used to partner with celebrities to
promote its products. They never collaborated with David Beckham to promote their
Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy. Samsung has once again enlisted Bollywood
actress Nargis Fakhri to promote the Samsung Galaxy in India. Samsung used to
advertise its mobile phones differently, focusing its efforts on attracting audiences.
18
Samsung began the commercial by providing customers with basic information about
Samsung phones. This technique informs users about the phone's brand name by
zooming in on Samsung phones and viewing the brand name displayed on the phones.
In the case of Samsung Electronics, all of their advertising operations are geared
aid customers in deciding whether or not to purchase the items. Samsung's advertising
is focused on the empowerment of corporate brand identity and goods in general. Also,
Samsung's product promotion is quite effective. Samsung builds linkages with their
goods and then utilizes those associations to become clients of their products.
Samsung primarily employs two kinds of advertising: direct and indirect. They market
their products indirectly through television, the internet, and other media. Samsung used
the indirect technique to inform customers that the new goods are safe to use
