Case Study: Bhattarai Deals
A Journey of Researching iPhone Sellers in Nepal
The market for iPhones in Nepal is crowded and fragmented. For Bhattarai Deals, a new entrant, carving out a space required a deep understanding of the competitive landscape. Our engagement began not with marketing, but with research.
The Objective: Mapping the Competitive Landscape
We set out to answer key questions: Who are the major players? What are their pricing strategies? What value propositions do they offer? How do customers perceive them? Answering these was crucial to positioning Bhattarai Deals for success.
Our Process: Data-Driven Market Analysis
- Competitor Identification: We identified over 20 online and offline iPhone retailers in Nepal, from large authorized resellers to smaller Instagram-based stores.
- Feature & Pricing Analysis: We created a comprehensive matrix comparing product ranges, pricing for different models, warranty policies, EMI facilities, and after-sales service offerings. This revealed gaps in the market, particularly around customer service and transparent pricing.
- Customer Sentiment Analysis: Using social listening tools, we analyzed customer reviews and comments about existing sellers. We found common complaints related to non-authentic products, poor communication, and lack of reliable support.
The Insight: Trust is the Missing Ingredient
Our research concluded that while many sold iPhones, very few had built a trusted brand. The opportunity for Bhattarai Deals was not to be the cheapest, but to be the most reliable. This insight shaped their entire brand strategy, from their tagline ("Genuine Products, Genuine Prices") to their investment in a professional website via Neup.Site and a customer-centric marketing strategy via Neup.Marketing.
