LG India has chalked out extensive plans to penetrate into the B- and C-class cities with its exclusive IT shoppes, where customers can experience the products at first hand.
By the end of this financial year, LG intends to open 70-80 retail IT shoppes across the country, of which most of them would be in the B- and C-class cities. The IT shoppes are part of LG's strategy to focus on smaller cities.

R Manikandan, deputy general manager, sales & marketing, IT, LG India, said, "We have a comprehensive strategy for the B- and C-class cities. The real potential of retailing, we feel, lies in these hitherto untouched areas. We will extend all our cooperation to the channel partners in these areas in terms of opening of the shops and marketing activities."

According to Manikandan, "Retailing will definitely take off at some point in the near future in these cities. Some of the accelerating factors are the ever-increasing applications in software and hardware, changing looks and trends of IT products, growing consumer awareness, and also increased retail margins.'

�In these cities, the retail segment will help the customer to experience the product before making a purchase decision. The customer will get an opportunity to evaluate products and models beforehand. The retailer can sell the right product to the user depending on his requirement," said Manikandan.

Lucky Goldstar [LG] as a consumer appliance manufacaturer has a good portfolio & its "ArtCool" has set a trend . . . but when it comes to integrating IT Equipments to Offer the product as a PC it is still a configuration based on generic systems. When can the Lucky Goldstar [LG] offer the Indian consumer a full fledged Computing Solution???

I am convinced, about the idea and that is why I have opened a retail outlet of IT at a prime location in Guwahati., In addition good retail outlet Service plays a major role in PC Sales. LG should also look into this, like providing good support backup and availibily of service stoks locally.
