The company must not rely on government patronage alone. A smart marketing strategy with juicy offers(e.g.longer financing period) to private users must be adopted . Hoping mainly for government patronage nearly killed ANAMCO. 11 Likes |

Man!Look at the dump truck they make in nigeria.That alone that can create billions of dollars industry in a continent that needs to be sanitized. The government will rather inflate contract quotations and buy foreign products for their own selfish gains,rather than patronize the indiginous for the country's development and economic independence.. 1 Like |

That is such a shame. At this rate, they may actually end up losing this guy to Ghana after all. I remember the last time one of their ministers came to his plant and asked him to relocate to Ghana, which he refused. Shame, shame, shame....... 2 Likes |

onatisi:i think private bus companies would not have much fuss buying ivm cars if it is proven to be durable,cheaper and parts easier to get (i mean it is produced here) which turns to easier maintanance than foreign ones.every private coy is interested in cutting running costs so it would not be hard to patronise ivm(unless private bus coys have an already running contract with foreign cars).forget govt patronage those guys are out to look for where they would make money. 1 Like |

Dey use more of dia and by so doing pple will tend to av faith in dem wen a big organisation uses it. Nigeria Govt shud do sometin fast.does this company manufacture heavy duty trucks alone ?if so then the owner should have studied the kind of market and enviroment he was investing in ,if he wants govt patronage there are ways f getting them which is welknown to every nigerian,he must not think that the govt will just walk into his office and buy.even if he manufacturing buggati once you are in nija u must play ball. but if the company manufactures small cars and passenger buses then all the company needs to do is liase with banks and employ maketers .all these chinnese auto dealers in naija that is what they are doing .u liase with banks to offer credit facilities for ppl with good credit ratings. and if he wants the indian method or chinnese kung fu marketing ,the company should spread out outlets and employ comission basis marketers with good percentage .there are lots of unemployed youths who can at least get a buyer at least once in 6months .offer them 15% of the sale amount imagine an unemployed grduate collecting like 170k just for bringing in a customer that buys a car.before the company realises it their brand will become popular once it is good.but if they are waiting for govt patronage .then they are in for a long long long wait 7 Likes |

“Exporting of the IVM vehicles has already commenced. Ghana, for instance, has ordered 200 units of these vehicles and here in the country, the Chief of Army Staffrecently ordered 20 units. We approached the Abuja Environmental Protection Agency (AEPA) to patronise waste disposalbins manufactured by the company, but surprisingly the agency still imports them from Germany. I even provided the agencywith a truck load of complimentary waste bins for a trial,” he said. What AEPA did should be regarded as economic Sabotage why spend tax payers money to buy goods from Germany when the same goods are produced Locally by a Company paying Tax to the Government in Abuja. If Local Companies don't pay tax would AEPA have the money to buy from Germany. if that's the case why protect Local Cement Manufacturers from importation when we can cheaply source the same cement from china. A word of Advice to Innoson concentrating on very fast moving products like the Commuter Buses and the type of cars used as Taxis will help now that most states are banning Motor Bykes. Innoson should also learn to use banks to help people do bank purchase on his vehicles just as he should use a good insurance company to provide 3 year warranty on all Innoson products . The total cost of Automobile would go down drastically because of economy of scale if Innoson was to provide the mass transit buses, Official cars ,Taxis and other utility Vehicles in the whole of SE/SS states plus some middle belt states. why would the Government or a company operating those Areas buy a car for 3 million when they can buy it for 1.7 M and pay over a period of 3 years with insurance warranty of 30 months 3 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: Ethnic sentiments cannot be ruled out. For instance has the Lagos state govt ever patronised Innoson? Well, ethnic bias is part of the problem with some state governments, not just Lagos state alone. But what about the FG that has continued to import official vehicles instead of patronizing local manufacturing plants like IVM? |
Re: Innoson Vehicles Complains Of Low Govt Patronage! by Nobody: 9:21pm On Jan 27, 2013 |
Maybe if the company goes public, it would help it reach more people. |
Re: Innoson Vehicles Complains Of Low Govt Patronage! by Nobody: 9:21pm On Jan 27, 2013 |
Warri _Pikin:Very true. Both federal, state, local govt and the citizens should patronise them. I recall some of the Sure-P buses were bought from them but more patronage is still needed at the federal level. It also important for Nigerians to see the CONNECTION between our INDIVIDUAL actions or inactions and many of the problems plagueing our country. For every made in Nigerian product you and I buy, we contribute our own quota to creation of jobs and reduction of unemployment rate. For every made in Nigerian product that you and I shun and buys imported alternatives, we contribute to worsening of unemployment rate in Nigeria. Every Nigerian must take responsibility for his or her actions. Personally, I buy made in Nigeria as much as possible. 2 Likes |

After finance, it's marketing. No matter how goods your products are, if you don't market it well, it will not sell. What Innoson needs is a marking consulting company to prepare them well, but question remains, are they willing to part with commission? 4 Likes |
