You are in charge of all marketing activities in North America for the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer?

abhuskey

Maserati. Maserati has just introduced a new model that will be competing directly against some other well-known luxury sports cars such as Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, and the BMW Z8.

How would you positioning strategy for the new Maserati model? What would you do to support and establish this positioning strategy? Keep in mind that although Maserati is as good as its competitors in terms of the car performance and design, it is a small company and it does not have the same amount of money for heavy promotions as its competitors.

Answer
It sounds like you are working on a business school case.

I would position Maserati as different, more elite than the competition. I would make it a scarce resource, with initially a long waiting list to get one. At the same time pricing is going to be comparable (within 10%) of the direct competitors.

You may want to create a specific image (possibly European) and focus on specific demographics, and create a promotional strategy that uses multiple media to introduce the concept. You may want to place the product in some select movies and maybe do what BMW did a few years ago, hiring well known directors to create a short starring the car. In this case you may want to use European directors or people (like Scorzese) who are viewed as Europeans.

A less expensive strategy might be to give a car to selected celebrities and makes sure there is PR coverage on them. Also YouTube may be an interesting promotional challenge.

I hope this is helpful and gives you some ideas.

How much do you get paid to put decals on your sports car?

RJ

I've seen some nice sports cars owned mostly by younger guys and they have tire company logos and such all over. I guess they get paid to advertise? How much do you get and how do you go about doing this? I guess thats how these kids afford these fancy cars.

Answer
First, most companies don't give you money just for putting a sticker on their car. Those kids you see are called ricers. They put these stickers all over their car to represent the products they installed (sometimes just to put a sticker on, even though nothing on the car was made by that company), giving free advertising to the manufacturer. Only an idiot does that in my book. Now, there are things called sponsorships, which pay people to put their logo on their car. To get a sponsorship takes some work though. Nobody just gives it free because they want to, you have to have something to offer. Show cars, race cars are about the only reason people would get paid to put a logo on their car. And even then, the payments are rarely in money. Usually, payments from sponsors are in the form of product. So if you are a racer and you get a sponsor from, say, Toyo tires, they might give you a free set of tires, or a deep discount even.
Also, in the NHRA, there is what is called a contingency sponsorship. This is a little different. This is a case where, if you win a national NHRA event, or place in the top 3/5/etc., and you have the companies' sticker on your car, you can get the track official to take a picture of the car, sign an affidavit that they saw the sticker and products on your car when you won the race, and you can submit it to the company, IE MSD, AutoMeter, etc. Then the company will send you a check. In other words, anyone who wins a national NHRA race and has required products on their car, can get a sponsorship simply by winning. For example, AutoMeter you have to have at least 3 of their gauges installed in your car AND have their logo displayed on the outside of your car, usually both sides, in order to qualify for the contingency prize. The upside, though, is the contingency prize is something like $350 in some cases. I know a person who has gotten over $10,000 in contingency sponsorship money by winning 1 race event because of all the products he had on his car.
