in order to attract new customers for Momo e-wallet as well as addressing its weaknesses and opportunities; help the target audience know about MoMo's brand and services by communicating activities to customers in the future This report not only reviews and evaluates the influencing factors, but also above all provides a base system, information as well as a specific strategy to help Momo accomplish the set goals Specific contents will be presented in the marketing plan mentioned below AI Introduction to MoMo 2.1 MoMo’s current marketing position MoMo is a market leader in Vietnam for mobile e-wallet services at the point of transaction and payment platforms There are more than 4000 MoMo outlets that have opened in 54 provinces and cities around the country, allowing them to serve more than 23 million customers in distant locations These remarkable numbers show the company's vision to become a SuperApp with an all-in-one application With the desire to maintain its leading position and outperform competitors in the same category, MoMo products are optimized in every detail to meet the needs of customers, reducing the number of operations required when checking out MoMo has made its familiar features more special and different with the slogan "Transfer money - Instant MoMo," which is easy to remember and understand, leaving a strong impression on customers 2.1.1 MoMo’s Points of Parity (POP): MoMo e-wallet meets the needs and provides basic payment services to customers MoMo wallet is licensed and managed by the State Bank of Vietnam, directly linked with many banks and when logging into the wallet or making secure payments (OTP authentication code, fingerprint authentication, ) Implement links, expand cooperation with many different partners in the industry (Gojek, Bee ) Take advantage of the push from the context of the Covid 19 pandemic to change the perception among users, businesses, and state agencies towards electronic payments Raise awareness through promotional activities and attractive promotions and cashback programs 2.1.2 MoMo's Points of Difference (POD): As a mobile payment platform, MoMo wallet promotes cashless economy and provides customers with One touch payment experience with more than hundreds of service utilities, including both basic payment (electricity, water, telecommunications, cable TV), ecommerce, tourism, transportation to other payment like entertainment, consumer finance, insurance, purchasing shopping, food service… The application is trusted by consumers thanks to its strict safety standards, certification with the highest international security standards (PCI DSS), 2FA, SSL/TLS, tokenization, and multi-layer security when logging in payment (OTP authentication code, fingerprint, face authentication, auto-lock apps, and automatic prevention of transactions with signs of fraud) MoMo is also the first among the few payment intermediaries to achieve this certification It is the only e-wallet application in Vietnam that allows external cash withdrawal Currently, MoMo has more than 5000 withdrawal points spread across the country You can go to Momo withdrawal points for convenient withdrawal Most e-wallets charge a fee for making withdrawals from e-wallets, but only Momo is free for 10 withdrawals/month 2.1.3 Perceptual Map: According to 329 respondents in a DecisionLab survey that answered the question, "What is the reason for customers to use an e-wallet more frequently than others?" PayPal is ranked first in the fast transaction process (59%) among the other three wallets (ShopeePay, Z ViettelPay) It shows that the MoMo e-wallet is capable of managing customer payments quickly and efficiently (See Figure in Appendix) As mentioned above, one of MoMo’s points of difference (POD) is its security MoMo's security system has achieved the highest level of Service Provider PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) global security certification (Service Provider level 1) and is recognized as the first among the few e-wallets in Vietnam to receive this certification (ZaloPay, AirPay, Moca ) At the same time, MoMo Wallet also applies advanced and outstanding authentication technologies such as two-factor authentication, authentication by fingerprint or face recognition, tokenization, etc With this PCI DSS International Security certification, MoMo E-Wallet is ranked first for the strict security system that partners and customers can be completely assured of From subjective assessments of e-wallet users (through market survey results) in combination with the reference information, we propose a perceptual map based on security and speed of payment for MoMo e-wallet Figure MoMo's Perpeptual Map 2.2 MoMo’s Marketing Mix 2.2.1 Product 2.2.1.1 Core customer value Cost of renting location and designing advertising: expected 2.79 billion VND b Model: Time: months Order outdoor advertising design at On Digitals Company Limited Hire an outdoor advertising location at Goldsun Company Limited 6.3.3.3 Public relations MoMo has well exploited the insight of Vietnamese consumers, especially young people They like to experience new, convenient, and fast payment methods In the market expansion strategy, Momo needs to find media partners and contact media support partners and cooperation units of reputable newspapers: Zing.vn, VnExpress, Tuoitre to post information about the campaign, combining the deployment of in-depth content to emphasize the real value that MoMo brings to the community At the same time, Momo should carry out communication on social networking sites and contact the influencer/KOL/singer (negotiate salary, book an appointment), post the latest information about the campaign on the main fan page on Facebook, Tiktok with content suitable to spread the media message to the target audience, and create initiative and anticipation with the target audience In addition, students always have the habit of checking email every day so they can hear about new services every time Momo can take advantage of this behavior to send emails directly to Momo users to communicate directly about products: Introducing the upcoming product to customers via the MoMo list Moreover, giving instructions to customers about the product as well as the prices of the proposed offers Newsletters will be sent to consumers with great offers: Customers receive a 10% discount on lotion products when they receive mail and forward this email to friends Users will receive one more voucher on their friend list, as will their friends Send thank-you emails to loyal customers from the previous year who trusted and purchased the company's products On their birthdays, send phone messages or emails to customers on your house list wishing them a happy birthday and offering them a 10% discount on MoMo transactions 23 People have a greater need to share, contribute to society, assist disadvantaged communities, and deal with difficult situations as their social lives grow Momo can take advantage of this to develop more in this area because charity easily makes users happy, which is a factor contributing to retaining users With the charity donation feature, helping benefactors can share any amount with just one action, with no need to remember accounts or other information Not only we need to coordinate with a number of agencies to organize fundraising activities to help those in need, but through the charity program, individuals, benefactors, and businesses can share some of the burden by donating via the "MoMo ewallet."
