Current Status of Building and Developing Vnpt Brand

- Advertising services.

- Real estate business, office rental.

- Other industries and professions as prescribed by law.

The development of VNPT is mainly based on the premise of the successes of the whole development journey. Currently, voice services (including fixed and mobile subscribers) have a positive growth rate, and exceeded the target for 2010. Mobile information services alone currently account for nearly 50% of VNPT's revenue. The mobile information networks of VinaPhone and MobiFone have been strengthened and their coverage has been expanded to the centers of districts nationwide.

Along with the traditional Internet, the broadband Internet network has also been invested in and developed strongly. VNPT has completed the program of bringing MegaVNN Internet to Universities, Colleges, Vocational High Schools and High Schools nationwide. In 2004, along with the exploitation of the new generation network NGN, many services were opened on the NGN platform such as fixed telephone using 1719 card, toll-free service 1800, entertainment information service 1900, MEGAWAN service, VPN... contributing to enriching the telecommunications market.

The postal network and services continue to be expanded and enhanced to better meet the needs of customers. The model of the Cultural Post Office continues to operate effectively, promoting its role as an information channel and sales support in rural, remote and isolated areas. The postal transportation and exploitation network is consolidated, ensuring the delivery and exploitation of international and domestic postal services.

2.1.4.2. Strengths and weaknesses of VNPT.

Strengths:


- As a State economic group operating in the field of telecommunications and information technology, one of the country's key industries, supported and encouraged by the State. The business environment is favorable in terms of law as well as favorable for market growth in the coming years.

- VNPT's network of operations spans across all regions of the country, from bustling urban areas to rural areas, islands and mountainous areas... VNPT has a large human resource, which is being rejuvenated to suit the large market and potential for future development.

- With more than 60 years of history of formation and development, VNPT has been a close friend, a bridge of communication with generations of Vietnamese people, so it always receives the sympathy and love of consumers.

Weaknesses:

- The administrative structure is still overlapping, the organizational arrangement is still scattered and ineffective.

- Investment management is still scattered and does not consider infrastructure investment as the key to development potential.

- Low quality of human resources: Although the staff is large in quantity, their quality is limited. Many staff do not have foreign language skills or the ability to use advanced information technology in the world. Staff doing research and strategic planning still have many limitations in knowledge of telecommunications and modern IT.

- The information system for managing BC-VT services has not yet taken advantage of modern information technology, so daily operations are often performed manually, slowly and inefficiently.

- Products and services are not diversified, mass products and services are not designed for different customer groups, the Postal Service focuses mainly on traditional products and services. Competitiveness in potential market areas such as International Express Delivery, Wireless Telecommunication Services, Financial Services is still weak.

2.2. VNPT brand, construction and development.

2.2.1. Basic identification of VNPT brand.

VNPT Brand Identity includes all perceptible and impressive elements of the name and recognition of the Post and Telecommunications industry.


The elements that make up the VNPT brand identity system include: Brand name, Logo, slogan, jingle, packaging, website, and advertising materials designed specifically based on the basic characteristics and unique identity of the VNPT brand to help consumers easily recognize and distinguish it from other similar products and services on the market.

The first milestone of change came to VNPT since 2003 when the Corporation launched the first slogan for its mission " Connecting all distances ", and VNPT set the goal for 2003 as " Year of action for all customers " and 2004 as " Year of commitment for community development ". However, VNPT's great efforts were accompanied by ineffective traditional media and lack of outstanding brand advertising programs, making VNPT's change in the minds of customers quite vague. According to the assessment, VNPT's communication strategy is fragmented, inconsistent, unprofessional and has not conveyed necessary information to consumers.

To overcome the above situation, at the end of 2005, after conducting a general survey on the recognition and level of consumer preference for the VNPT brand, a new brand identity system was born with full elements of Logo, color, vision, mission... and especially with the slogan " Real life " has given VNPT a new, prominent appearance and steady development in a fiercely competitive environment.

Before continuing the journey to find “ Real Life ”, let’s review the past journey of the VNPT brand through the actual survey charts in 2005, to have a more realistic view for evaluating and building strategic solutions for the VNPT brand in the battle for position in the minds of consumers.
