Some solutions to improve marketing strategy at ECOVICO tourism, transportation and trade company - 8


* About Logo:

A logo is expressed through a drawing, pattern, font or a special sign to create customer recognition at first contact. The logo needs to be different, easily recognizable and distinguishable from other logos, capable of making viewers remember it and associate it with a certain product or service of the company. The logo needs to be designed simply and accurately on other forms of printing, signs, banners, and symbols. The logo is different from the brand name, the logo can change over time to suit the times, the logo must be easy to associate with the product.

Currently, the company is using this logo which is not really convincing and not eye-catching. Because the logo is often changed, the company must pay more attention to logo design by establishing a specialized committee on this issue. To create more information to guide customers to easily recognize that the logo belongs to ECOVICO tourism company, a slogan should be added to the old logo that shows the company's business motto.

* About Slogan:

Every business wants to build a reputation for its brand. They propose many different measures, some businesses are successful, but there are also businesses that have failed in their efforts to make their brand go deep into the minds of customers.

To create prestige for the product brand, low-cost measures can be applied. For ECOVICO company, although it has not been established for long, in the past, the company has focused on improving the quality of products and services, finding customers, and building a brand. But it has not really stood out while there are many difficulties when the company's competitors have been constantly penetrating and expanding the market, gradually creating trust in the minds of customers.

Some solutions to improve marketing strategy at ECOVICO tourism, transportation and trade company - 8

When building a company brand, a slogan is needed that reflects the company's criteria and is humane to create trust with customers about the brand's value. We have heard the phrase "Cherish Vietnamese feet" when referring to Biti's products, or "Say it your way" by Viettel. Here are some company slogans that can be used as a reference:

+ “ECOVICO – reputation, quality and trust”

+ “ECOVICO – a safe and comfortable destination for you”

+ “ECOVICO – creating a new life”

In the period of international economic integration, domestic enterprises are required to

as well as ECOVICO must make more efforts in serving and providing for


customers, must orient themselves on the business path as well as specific customers to make efforts to implement it. Currently, when companies enter the market, they make their promises to customers as a guarantee of quality, design, etc., but most businesses do not fulfill that promise, leading to disappointment with the product/service and directly affecting the company's image, losing customers. Therefore, in the near future, ECOVICO needs to quickly choose a Slogan that is suitable for its position.

5. Innovate customer care methods to complete the goals and directions of the proposed marketing strategy.

Somehow, remembering customers’ names and understanding their habits is one of the things that makes customers happy and loyal to the business. Customer information is kept in the customer relations department. This information needs to be used instead of being piled up in books.

The feeling of familiarity and trust of customers is more valuable than any profit. Because that trust is calculated by many times the profit brought by the source of familiar customers. When a customer becomes a regular customer of the business, it is also when they turn from a customer to a person who introduces to other customers. Because when a customer uses a service again, it means that the service has made them satisfied, and the general psychology is that when they feel satisfied, they will introduce others to use their products. If the person being referred is satisfied, then our regular customer will feel very proud, if the customer is not satisfied, this person will be our lawyer. Therefore, building trust and turning customers into regular customers is the best way to both take care of customers and expand the market.

Customer care measures

Nowadays, information travels very quickly and it is extremely valuable to have your company's products and services appreciated by customers.

If customers feel they are being mistreated by a company, word will spread faster than if they are treated well.

Therefore, ECOVICO travel company must do everything to attract customers, however, to get good customer reviews, ECOVICO travel companies must satisfy all customers in the customer care process.

Customer service methods range from technology-based support, invoice checking, and delivery status updates to good old-fashioned feedback. Travelers are the ones paying for a company’s services, and they expect the personal attention they deserve.


that need must be met quickly. Some customers like to provide feedback to a company or service about problems they encountered during the ordering process. Customer service can make or break a company's online business.

Do your research on the Internet and find out which ones focus on customer service and consider it an important selling factor. Providing after-sales support not only helps the customer, but it also creates a good and profitable relationship with the customer.

The customer service approach a company should take depends entirely on the product or service it is selling. It can be as simple as a "no questions asked" money-back guarantee on all returned products and services, or providing prompt and efficient email technical support, or providing a phone number to answer customer questions; whatever customer service approach a company takes, it should pay attention to how the company operates to succeed in post-sale relationships. Once a company has experience in communicating via email, its reputation will be known to current and potential customers.

Customer care methods

A company must take customer service seriously for any customer who visits the company, now let's look at exactly what the company needs to provide. The world of customer service methods is endless and the possibilities for creativity are vast, however there are some basic customer service methods that a company should provide on a regular basis.

Company guidelines

Customer care is not just about post-sale customer relationships. Provide potential customers with clear and transparent instructions on how to use your company's products and services.

Show them how to add items to their shopping cart, how to order, and browse the company’s products and services. Then, show them how to make a payment and what to do during the checkout process. For example: What types of credit cards does the company accept? What are the modes of transportation on a tour? What type of transportation does the company use? The company should also explain to customers how they can fit into each tour?

If the company does not offer a certain product or service, just show it.

customers how to use the services of other companies. If the company provides those


In your product and service introductions, show customers how to use them. Give them a place to record their frustrations, dissatisfactions, and the products and services as well as the attitude of the staff. Give customers all the methods and directions they need to contact the company when necessary.

Regularly answer customer questions

In any case, the employees of the company must answer the questions of customers quickly. The employees must be equipped with the questions and answers that customers will ask. And when other questions are raised by customers through email or phone. What customers want is the highest satisfaction when using the company's products and services.

Discussion forums

Discussion forums are a great customer service tool - they can cut down on tech support quite a bit. Because they are public, any customer of a company can answer questions from other customers, which frees up the company and frees up employees to do other things. The company can do this systematically through a website, which suggests that discussion forums can also be useful for other purposes, such as sending out announcements about the company's services.

Customer service can make or break a company's bottom line. Satisfying and supporting customers before and after the sale will attract new customers to your business and keep them coming back. Give your customers what they want and they will come back for good!

6. Re-study and expand domestic and foreign markets to perfect the proposed marketing strategy.

Immediately after new products and services are launched, ECOVICO tourism company must conduct market research to measure customer reactions to its products.

Still using the market research methods established in the previous stages, re-research the market to compare the effectiveness of the marketing strategies used. From there, make changes to suit market needs with the motto that human needs are always changing and to grasp the needs, suppliers are not allowed to stop in their development and innovation progress.


CONCLUDE


Tourism is one of the important economic activities, not only bringing large revenue to the economy, creating many jobs, developing service industries and infrastructure, but also a way to promote peace, cultural exchange, creating invisible but lasting values ​​in many countries around the world in general and in Vietnam in particular.


However, with the deep integration of Vietnam into the world economy and the impact of the recent global economic crisis, the Vietnamese tourism industry is facing new difficulties and challenges, and ECOVICO Travel Company is no exception. Therefore, to survive and develop in this trend, ECOVICO Travel Company must have a marketing strategy that is appropriate to the market reality of its business activities.


The thesis has proposed some solutions to improve the company's marketing strategy in the travel business market in the coming time. However, due to the broad topic, the limitations of knowledge, expertise as well as the short internship time at the company, the topic cannot be without shortcomings. We look forward to the contributions of your company and teachers to make the topic better.


Finally, I would like to sincerely thank the attention and enthusiastic guidance of Dr. Pung Tan Viet and all the brothers and sisters in the company who provided information and data to help me complete this topic well.
