A Case Study on Global Tech Companies' Local Strategies

vivo’s discounted strategy in the Turkish market exemplifies the pricing manipulation tactics employed by global tech giants when adapting to local markets. Despite the high listed price of 129,999 TL, the effective price of 114,999 TL for pre-registered customers reflects stronger demand than phones with lower turnover rates.

Hakan Çelik: "vivo’s price reduction in Turkey demonstrates that attractive offers can still be made to consumers despite inflationary pressures in the smartphone sector. However, the sustainability of such strategies depends on cost advantages and strong supply chain positions. Additionally, considering local import duties and VAT rates, the impact of these discounts on the budget deficit should also be taken into account."
