In January 1918, Sakichi founded the Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Company, and with the help of his son, Kiichiro Toyoda, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of building an automatic loom in 1924. Two years later, he established Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. Like his father, Kiichiro was an innovator, and during his visits to Europe and the U.S. in the 1920s he became deeply interested in the nascent automotive industry. Making the most of the 100,000 that Sakichi Toyoda received for selling the patent rights of his automatic loom, Kiichiro laid the foundations of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), which was established in 1937. From looms to cars, the Toyota experience has been a constant story of extending the frontiers of manufacturing.1

Toyota has been known for its quality over these many years. It is easy to point out which brand Toyota is because of its well-known quality and the logo itself marked in every Toyota vehicle in which is present and has the majority of cars in the market and in streets. The positioning of this brand will be simple because it already captured a large market share. Toyotas way of positioning their brand is their quality service and product. That simple strategy keeps them at the top of the competition. Their primary target market is people within the age of 16-80 old. It is the target market of Toyota because of the demands these age represents. They make sporty look on their new vehicles, environment and engine friendly cars and vehicle for a family. This wide target market made their marketing strategies more simple. The competition on this industry is very stiff. The rivalry among competing firms is very high due to demands and number of competitive brands. Every brand has the ability in taking over the market. The industry of automotive industry increases its sales rate by 10% compared to last year. This growth in production is caused by the market demand while the arrival of new, exciting models will further spur sales. Vehicle sales in the Philippines in April were 14,888 units, up 21.0% year-on-year (y-o-y). Sales in the first four months of 2013 were 56,590 units, up 26.0% y-o-y. With sales continuing their double-digit expansion, market demand remains inordinately strong. Toyota is a follower and also the leader of the industry. Toyota is also a follower in technologies in which some other brands introduced another technology for innovation in vehicles to present continuous improvement. On some point, Toyota leads all brands in quality. They have are known for their quality vehicles in which other brands benchmarked their products in parallel of Toyota. The problem, from what I observed in Toyota, is their customer service. The brand in the Philippines has a 48% retention rate, which is they considered low. Toyota ranks second behind Honda who has a 52% retention rate. This data of customer retention rates is discussed in the seminar attended by one of the researchers. As observed, Toyota has a poor customer service. As a result, they indicated it as the reason for low customer retention rate. Poor handling of vehicles, not fixing the true problem, taking a long time in servicing and no updates about the units is the concerns raised by the customers. We have come up with the plan that will help and point out the possible solutions to improve the companys customer service that is said causing low retention rate.

Toyota is can be easily pointed out within a series of cars. The vehicles of Toyota is, from what it is right now and what we all observed, simple yet elegant in our eyes. They are boasting their quality vehicles and engines that is higher than any brand. The competitive advantage of Toyota is very noticeable. They garnered being number one in Passenger Car Sales, number one in Commercial Vehicle Sales and number one in Total Sales. Those awards they boast are the reason behind their high morale that motivates them to build high quality in their products. 2 http://toyota.com.ph/experience-intro.php Situational Analysis As of end-May this year, Toyota Motor Philippines continues to lead the market with a 40percent share, followed by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp., which garnered a 24 percent market share.3 The huge gap between the market share of the other competitors is an indicator how Filipinos patronize the product of Toyota. Though, we got a huge gap, we cannot sit back and relax because the ability of other competitors is threatening. Their marketing strategies are well known. Mistubishi and Isuzu have the ability to take over the market because they have a larger target market. It because they also sell trucks in which now an in demand due to a large number of construction and development program of other companies that needs that large unit. Toyota is in pleasure of being the top automotive industry in our country. They have done incredible job in producing quality vehicles. They are currently the leading brand of automotive vehicles in our country. Many feedbacks regarding poor handling of customer service is raised by many customers. This problem may result to a poor customer retention and satisfaction. Toyota has a customer retention rate of 48% which is second to Honda. This 2013, they released new versions of their vehicles, making it look classy, sporty, elegant and simple. This strategy is made to continuously provide customers and potential customers quality and innovative vehicles. The cash flow of Toyota got a better sales on 2012 than 2011. They also got more investments like buying the Subaru and Lexus brands. These investments of Toyota can lead to larger target market. From Toyota who can reach out class C-A, stretching its reach to class A and expected to get larger cut on this market because Lexus is a luxury brand of vehicle.

Market Share The market share shows how dominant Toyota is in the industry. It shows the huge gap between players in the market that makes Toyota the number one and leading car brand in our country. Also, the number of sold units by Toyota increased from 29,231 to 34,713.

Toyotas exterior look produces a simple yet elegant look in eyes of the customers. In interior, Toyota is known for its quality in its parts and in engine.

According to what i have attended in a seminar within the organization, Toyota is second only in customer retention behind Honda. Our marketing objective is to increase customer retention rate by giving customer not only quality vehicles, but also service. The current problem the company encountered is the poor customer service being raised by the customers. Some due to not fixing the main problem of their vehicle, Positioning This objectives will provide customers customer satisfaction by improving customer service while maintaining the high quality of their vehicles. We will position the product to locations where a high and potential demand is growing. We all know that Toyota is already positioned itself as an outstanding brand in giving quality vehicles. It gives affordable cars that exceeds the

expectation of the cusatomers. We just need to put the brand in other key locations in our country to maintain high rate in sales. The brand also needs to be remembered not only by their quality vehicles but also to their service. It is a continuous committment to the customers after the sales have been done. Also, we believe in the power of Word of Mouth strategy. This strategy can influence other potential customers and can change their buying habits. This will cause a shift in demand in favor or Toyota. Marketing Mix Product The Toyota as a brand has a lot of potential in its products. Innovations in every aspect of technology and engine is what they prioritizes in giving quality goods to the customers. Hybrid cars, sports cars and other vehicle that is innovative in our generation today. The positioning of these products can be done in such a way that their dealerships can stand with other dealerships of other leading competing brands like Mitsubishi, Hyundai and Honda. It can still dominate these brands because of the quality Toyota is known and rendered. Toyota also offers products like accessories and parts. Accessories gives more details in our vehicles that may look more suitable in every taste of the customers. Also, the parts that is available in every dealership is used for any replacements bought by the customers or parts that is in defect and can be replaced by the warranty.

Yaris Price Toyota gives affordable prices than other brands. They got products that have prices that suits well to the pocket of their target market. Vehicles that have a high price like Land Cruiser, Prado and 86 are luxury cars that gives extra mileage of happiness to the customers. The prices of these cars depends on how they can give the customers. But, all in all any given prices of these products can give you a quality ride a customer wants. 9 Promotion Toyota gives a lot of promotion depending on the season and the number of demands. Demand rises when Christmas season opens. Left and right promotions can be given to customers who want to purchase the product. Low-rate promos, all-in promos and lite promos are one of the promotions Toyota give. Place Toyota vehicles is distributed in many branches/dealerships nationwide. They have at least 15 branches in Metro Manila and 37 branches all in all. They chose good locations of their business where good to high demands are expected in key areas. This will help them boost brand awareness and easily reaching out to the customers.

But, we will focus more on their service crews because it is the main problem we pointed out. Engineers and other mechanics are the one responsible in doing the service from studying the main problem, fixing the unit and discussing the problem to the customer. The customer relations department is the intermediary between the two transactions. They act as the one jotting down the processes of the service, sending and discussing it to the head office and relaying informations between the two. Process For minor concerns customer

8 http://www.tai.com.ph/price.html 9 http://toyota.com.ph/experience-intro.php Competition The competition of automotive industry is very stiff. The capabilities of other brands are high enough to overtake Toyota. Though Toyota is on the top of the standings in their industry, it is still not safe to just relax. The two best competitors of Toyota are Hyundai and Mitsubishi. Choosing these two competitors is not easy. We have several key competitors in our market that has the right pieces in taking over the market and can be in parallel to Toyota. Hyundai is at their peak. Their rise in their market suddenly boomed. They rose in the market due to their new remodeled vehicles like Accent, Santafe, Tucson and others. They remodeled it in a way that it will look unique and classy. The keener look in their vehicles caught the attention of customers. Mitsubishi is always a threat for Toyota. They are in rival in these part years. Mitsubishi rivaled Toyota when it comes to quality. Mitsubishi garnered a 24 percent of market share, only second to Toyota by a large margin. Toyota is crowned as number one in overall sales in 11 consecutive years. This is an indication that they are doing the right thing in maintaining the quality vehicles they are selling leaving a customer satisfaction in hand. Toyota is doing the right thing in competing with other company. They take affordable promotions, quality vehicles, more good retailing locations and reputable employees. Toyota will not be on the top of the industry of they are not playing all the pieces and in right places. They concern more in customers preferences in choosing a vehicle that is why they have a good forecasting and anticipation on their target market. Though, some people say, the look in their car looks simple but old. They changed that this year with their keener and sporty look that will take away that weakness they have. Mitsubishi and especially Hyundai have that classy look that every customer wants. Their vehicle look is in top class. This scenario pushed Toyota to parallel themselves to other competitors to continuously not lose momentum and still attract customers.

Conclusion and Recommendation Toyota, all in all, meets and exceeds customer satisfaction by offering, rendering and providing Filipinos what they want. Toyota is a stable brand and can dominate the market pretty well. It is safe to say that Toyota has a good and dedicated management because of the success they are experiencing right now. They got good investments, high demands, reasonable prices and increase in overall sales. Though, Toyota is clearly the number one brand in our country in its industry, other reputable and trusted brands have their own strengths and opportunities that can be capitalized to catch up Toyota for being the number one. But, their customer service may affect their brand image to the public and customers. Number of concerns and poor customer service has been raised by the customers in the past months. This is the main problem of Toyota that needs a resolve. It is unavoidable that a customer experienced problem from the unit. This may be a problem on engine and body assembling or variances. This problems encountered by the customers is immediately prioritized by the dealer and the main office but the problem is on the service crew, the process, parts availability or the time table. Recommendation With the problem stated above, this can only be solved by changing the process by adding more suitable factor in after-sales service. This problem may decrease the companys reputation and the brand name will be at risk. The addition in the process of the service provided by the dealer will be as follow: 1. A within 24-hour feedback from the department to the customers to ensure that the unit they serviced is at work to ensure customer relief. 2. Customers timetable about their unit 3. Ensure customers is aware on what is being done in the service and the process 4. After the service, the service advisor/s needs to explain to the customer what is done in the vehicle, what is replaced and its warranty. Finally, the company needs to have a Press Conference or a Press Release about the process and changed service to be able to completely cure its problem in service. Customers who are already had their units repaired and serviced and experienced a bad service from the company may put again their trust to the company if a conference is held by a reputable person from the company.

A thorough explanation from that person will change the companys image in service in the eyes of the customers and in the public. The spokesperson needs to explain the causes of bad service, its effects and finally, the changes in the process itself.
