Households with the incomes below the 2.5 million dong were 20% accounting for 5.5% of the total income of the society; - Households with the incomes from 2.5 to million dong were 20% accounting for 8.5% of total income of the society; - Households with the incomes from -14 million dong were 40% accounting for 39% of total income of the society; - Households with the incomes from 14 - 44 million dong was 19% accounting for 43% of total income of the society; - Households with the incomes of more than 24 million dong were 1% accounting for 4% of total income of the society; Thus, there are 20% of the population who are rich are, but nearly 50% of the total income of society Those with high incomes will concentrate mostly in the big cities, average age of 30 or over and they pay much attention to their health => the 71 GaMBA01 M0709 Strategic management need to use the kinds of medicine to enhance the health and to treat well is great => this is the customers Traphaco need to orient Based on the population structure by urban/rural: According to Vietnam General Department of Statistics in 2005, Vietnam ranked the 13 th in the world with 83,119,900 people of which 27% live in the cities, and 73% live in rural areas The rate of annual population was 1.18% The most populous cities in Vietnam are Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi City Nearly all the cities across the country are in the trend of urbanization Thus, the population in these regions is growing rapidly Population living in the cities is not evenly distributed: the urban population accounted for 73% in which 72% in the big cities Culture and Society: with the specific characteristic of most Vietnamese population living in rural areas with low income and often having the habit of using herbal medicines, then the herbal medicines usually have reasonable prices attracting the attention of the customer Consumption trend: In the context of difficult economic times, the people will return to use domestic goods more so this is an opportunity for the domestic pharmaceutical companies in general, and Traphaco in particular to develop Currently, the pharmaceutical products in the country are not worse than imported products In short: Any enterprise also considers the customers to bring the greatest benefit is the target customer For Traphaco, the customers who are the rich, with high incomes living in the big cities at the age from 30 to 60 are its target customers and target market is Southern market b/ Price solution * Make the price equally to the competitors Apply the kinds of products without differentiating with that of competitors in efficiency and use value * Pricing discrimination 72 GaMBA01 M0709 Strategic management -

Build a professional distribution system applying the advanced management technology in the whole three regions: Northern, Central and Southern - Open additional branches in provinces with GSP standard storage system, especially in Southern market In addition to the current branches in Ho Chi Minh City, the company will construct and improve five more branches in Vinh Long, Dong Nai, Bình Thuan, Vung Tau and Can Tho * Complete the bulk sale system - Curently the company has wholesale centers such as A7 Ngọc Khánh, A8 Thành Công, 31 Láng Hạ To improve distribution quality the company should has encouragement policies for these centers * Complete the agents system Market expansion in Southern and Central regions as well as the construction of headoffice and storehouses in Ho Chi Minh city will create the advantage for TRAPHACO in trademark broadcast and in supplying and distributing products in these markets Currently the sale in the Southern market only accounts for 20% total 73 GaMBA01 M0709 Strategic management sale monthly of TRAPHACO Through market survey, the customers in Southern region were considered very potential for the business of the company The Company is planning the overall plan to make this sale reach 50% in density For the agent system, the company needs to build a system stretching over the whole nation and has clear punishments and rewards to supervise and manage the operation of the agents However the decisions on rights and responsiblities should not be too strict to have better result d/ Marketing and Trademark solution For the marketing mix activities -Build the trademark of TRAPHACO medicine in Vietnam market by planning the Marketing mix strategy which focuses on broadcasting about TRAPHACO's productivity and quality of products -Plan a favorable method of export For herbal medicines: Study and select the potential market to register herbal medicines under the form of functional foods to avoid the medicine barrier For western medicine products: export to ASEAN countries, especially in the current situation when the ASEAN countries are executing the integration of pharmaceutical standards and registration Using the "adjustment product" strategy in export marketing strategy: TRAPHACO needs to study specifically about the foreign market's productivity, business environment, social cultural political environment and customers' tastes to adjust the products to suit the different markets; then plan the suitable general marketing strategy for each country After that the company can execute marketing activities for experience on market expansion For the Southern market -
