GENERAL INTRODUCTION
In Vietnamese mind, bamboo and cane are used as the symbol of the undauntedness and the

powerful vitality of Vietnamese people. It can be said that the bamboo and cane of the two most
near and dear trees of Vietnamese people. The trees create the symbolic image of rural culture
and become the plentiful material source of the production section of furniture, household wares
as well as the export of bamboo and cane products.
There are many handicraft villages of bamboo and cane, among which,

bamboo-

handicraft trade village Xuan Lai in Gia Binh District, Bac Ninh province is considered to be the
cradle of the bamboo handicrafts with bamboo handicraft village existing for hundreds years.
From the establishment, the co-operative society of bamboo and rattan handicraft export Xuan
Lai ( Xuan LaI Enterprise) has inherited the long-time tradition of handicraft production with
skilled and clever craftsmen and become the famous brand of furniture made of bamboo and
rattan in the domestic market. Continuing to diversify the products and making a detail
marketing plan so that Xuan Lai can be successful in exporting these products to the
international markets as well as regional market is necessary for Xuan lai develop sustainably
and stably, matching the orientation of Vietnam government in the integration period.
1.1

General overview of export market of Vietnam wood, bamboo and rattan products
According to the assessment of Vietnam Wood and Forest Product Association, at present,

the wooden products rank the fifth as the main exported products after crude oil, footwear,
garment and textile and fishery products with the revenue of 3.2 billion dollars in 2009. This
development has helped Vietnam overtake Indonesia and Thailand to become the second leading
country in export of wooden furniture in South East Asia. The quality of Vietnam products is
continuously improved to compete with other products of the countries in the region. However,
in the coming time, for the natural wooden products, Vietnam will have to conform to laws like
LACEY (USA) and FLEGT requiring Vietnam to submit product declaration to ensure the
validity. For exporting to EU, Vietnam has to conform to Voluntary Partnership Agreement
(VPA) and certificates of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). They are big barriers because
Vietnam has not had integrated certificate system, and the fact that Vietnam has to import wood
having FSC certificate will increase the price, then decrease the competitiveness with foreign
Enterprises.

Marketing Management
For the products made of bamboo and neohouzeaua, according to the survey of WWF, at
present Vietnam exported about 60 % of bamboo products into European market. As estimated,
the revenue from this market would be about 17 billion dollars in 2017, much higher than that of
7 billion dollars now (While the revenue of China is 5.5 billion dollars). The growth speed of
exported products made of bamboo and rattan has increased by about 25 %. Vietnam has been
assessed to be more advantaged country than China in term of this kind of products thanks to the
cheap labor cost. Vietnam has been also assessed to be more advantaged country than Laos and
Cambodia which are abundant in bamboo and rattan sources in term of workmanship. If Laos
and Cambodia are material sources, Vietnam is the production and export country.
However, the manufacture of exported bamboo and rattan products into hard markets faces
many challenges because the safety standards in the manufacturing process are not ensured.
Highly toxic substances like pesticide, artificial polishing substance, gluing paste, gasoline and
so on can affect user health. In addition, during the traditional manufacturing process, the
production wastes are usually discharged to the outside environment, causing environment
pollution and health problems to the laborers.
Another disadvantage is that the modest number of the Vietnamese bamboo and rattan
Enterprises (account for 2% of the total number of Vietnamese Enterprises). Most of them have
small scope (the number of employees in these Enterprises is not higher than 5000) and the
capital investment is still limited (nearly ¾ of the Enterprise number have capital investment of
less than 5 billion dongs)
1.2

Approaches to the international market
Being a furniture manufacturer of small scope, Xuan Lai selects the method of penetrating

the international market through indirect export.
The indirect export does not require the direct communication between the foreign buyer
and the Enterprise. For selling the products to the other countries, Xuan Lai will ask for the
support of an immediate organization having the function of direct export. With the

disadvantages that Xuan Lai is not accustomed to the international market, the Enterprise
decided to choose the indirect export method in the first period of penetrating into the world
market.
Xuan Lai will export indirectly through the foreign buyers. This is the way of exporting to
the foreign import companies. They have thorough knowledge on competition conditions in the
world market. When following this method, Xuan Lai should learn carefully about its foreign
5


Marketing Management
partners for establishing a stable relationship with other countries’ market. The drawback of this
method is that Xuan Lai will have to depend much on the foreign partners, but Xuan Lai defined
this process to be the first step to understand and be accustomed to the world market. After
gaining some certain experiences, the Enterprise will study and develop more active approaches.
1.3

Introduction of Xuan Lai company
The co-operative society of bamboo and rattan handicraft export Xuan Lai was established

by the people committee of Gia Binh district, Bac Ninh province in February, 2004. In the first
period, Xuan Lai manufactured only some traditional products like beds, cupboards, tables,
chairs and so on; However, because of the good materials, low price, various models which are
the combination of both traditional features and modern features, the products of Xuan Lai are
favored by all consumers in domestic markets like Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Hai Duong, Dien Bien,
etc., When the Enterprise already had a stable business and was given the trust from domestic
customers, Xuan Lai has become the member of Vietnam Handicraft Exporters Association
( Viet Craft) and Wood and Forest product Association for more opportunities of doing survey on
the export market of furniture made of bamboo and rattan. At present, the Enterprise has
established 10 production units with the total area of 1,500 m 2 and the products are found in
Japan, Taiwan, South East Asia, USA, Belgium, Australia, Ukraine and so on with encouraging

success.
Product ranges
Xuan Lai is also famous for other handicraft furniture made of bamboo and cane, large- size
products such as tables, chairs, armchairs, bamboo houses, cupboards and daily used objects
such as bamboo paintings, cup pads and wooden clogs. Especially, the bamboo paintings with
shining black finish not by the painting, but by the fumigation activity are very suitable for the
Asian style. The salons, rocking chairs, book shelves, coffee tables, coat hangers and flower
vases are suitable for the American and European style.

has stable income from medium and fair level.
- Customers have high education level, national price and interest in collecting artistic
objects. They are people of open and rich soul.
2.4
2.4.1

Details analysis of Target segment
Overseas Vietnamese:
Up to 2011, there are about 4 million Vietnamese living in 110 countries and territories,

in which the number of industrial developed countries is account for 80 %. Most of Vietnamese
have stable life and well adapt to the society of the community. They have certain economic,
political and social position in the resident countries.
Each years, there are about 500,000 turns of overseas Vietnamese visiting their original
country, in which there are 300 experts, intelligentsias coming back for working purpose and
thousands of businessmen searching for investment opportunities. Up to now, the total of

investment capital from overseas Vietnamese has been 5.7 billion dollars (for 3,200 projects)
The usage of furniture made of rattan, bamboo by the hands of Vietnamese craftsmen
with Vietnamese cultural color will bring to the overseas Vietnamese the native feeling as if they
are still living in the hometown, consolidating the feeling of living in a strange country. This is a
very important market that Xuan Lai targets to.
2.4.2

USA and EU market
For customers who are not easy to please with strict requirements of designs and quality

like customers in USA and EU market, the Enterprise has recruited a professional designing team
and applied information technology to find the newest models matching the European styles. The
exported products to Europe and USA are usually salons, swings, book shelves, coffee tables,
coat hangers, flower vases and etc., they are bamboo products carefully soaked and dried with

8


Marketing Management
high duration, anti-insect feature and simple but luxurious yellow-brown color, suitably used as
furniture of convalescent villas.
2.4.3

Asian Market

Asian Customers like Japan, Taiwan, China, Philippine and so on are also important
customers because these countries share some common cultural characteristics with Vietnam.
Like Vietnam, they are used to using some traditional bamboo products like bamboo tooth
pitches, bamboo chopstick and bamboo houses and so on. Xuan Lai is famous for bamboo and
cane having large size products like tables and chairs, bamboo house, cupboards and shelves,

daily used objects like bamboo paintings, cup pads, wooden clog. Especially, the artistic bamboo
fumigated paintings have the shining black without any paint.
In this market, Vietnam will have to face China, the biggest competitor with higher
technology and workmanship. However, Chinese products usually have higher and produced by
the industrial process, not by hand, so they are not unique as Xuan Lai Enterprise’s products.
2.4.4

Detail analysis of Taiwan and Philippine market.

2.4.4.1 Taiwan market
+ Taiwan has various import market, so many kinds of Vietnamese commodities like
ceramics, fruits, tea, wooden products, paper, rubber, garment and textile can be exported to
Taiwan. Export turn-over to Taiwan from Vietnam in 2010 was about 5 billion USD. Especially,
this market allows importing Enterprises to export these commodities to the third countries,
especially for the processed goods.
+ Taiwan Enterprises pay much attention to the well-prepared products from the packing to
the decorative colors. This is one of the weak points of Vietnam Enterprise.
+ In Vietnam, there are about 10.000 Vietnamese brides. Taiwan Enterprises usually visit
Vietnam for business, so the Taiwan tourist to Vietnam is increasing more and more. In addition,
Taiwan people share some characteristics in term of culture and customs with Vietnamese. This
is also the opportunity to advertise the Vietnamese product brands to Taiwan market through
overseas Chinese and overseas Vietnamese
+ Annually, Taiwan usually holds exhibition fairs for the countries to introduce products.
Vietnamese Enterprises participate into these fairs to advertise their products through VCCI
channels.

9


Marketing Management

+ Taiwan people are used to buying cheap products. This is the advantage of Xuan Lai
Enterprise when compete Chinese and countries of abundant material sources like Laos and
Cambodia.
+ Although the areas covered by forest in Taiwan is about 60 % of the total areas, the strict
regulations of forest and environment protection and high labor cost are the limits of producing
wooden products. Therefore, Taiwan market gives many opportunities for the importers of cheap
wooden and bamboo and rattan products from Vietnam and other countries (about 550,000 m 3)
2.4.4.2 Philippine Market
+Philippine is a country with the population of about 90 million people, GDP is about 5,000
USD/ capita/ year, relatively higher than other countries in South East Asia.
+ Philippines is a archipelago with tourist potential and a big market for the production
section of high-class furniture production (for tourism and convalescent area)
+ However, because Vietnam is a country of multi ethnics and influences of American
culture, the penetration into Philippines is not simple. In the near future, Philippines is not the
focused market of Xuan Lai.

CURRENT SITUATION ANALYSIS (SWOT)

3.1

Strong Points


Products:
o Rattan and bamboo products are usually of refined designs, expressing the
cultural characteristics deeply.
o The furniture and decorative objects from bamboo and rattan are designed with
the stable combination of forms, long-lasting beautiful colors and the convenient
usage of the products.

o High expertise on Hand made: Xuan Lai village has been famous in the regional
areas for the cultural products like armchairs, beds made of fumigated bamboo
and cane. For creating particular impression on each product, Xuan Lai craftsmen
has been very creative when decorating the furniture by the Chinese words Dual
Happiness (marriage); couple of doves or some flowers by the sophisticated
bamboo skin crape technology. Especially, in some recent year, Xuan Lai has

10


Marketing Management
created a new mark on the Dong Ho painting by painting on the bamboo and cane
layer using the unique fumigation art.


Pricing:
o Prices are much lower than those of other kinds of furniture.
o The labor cost is low , the laborers are agile, flexible, industrious, creative and
proactive in working.

3.2

Weak points


Products:
o The furniture made of rattan and bamboo is easy to be attached by termite and
worm, so the storage should be paid attention. The display area should not be wet
and humid.
o The process of drying, pressing, storing products of Xuan Lai is still conducted by

hand, leading to the low usage value, uneven duration. Many products were
turned because of damage during the sea transportation. This is one of the causes
for the Xuan Lai’s reputation loss, requiring much thought of the Enterprise
managers.



History promotional activities
o There are not enough marketing activities, the market analysis is still limited, not
understanding the model trend, especially in the EU and USA market.
o Customers know Xuan Lai mainly through “oral culture”/”worth of mouth”, the
Enterprise has not implemented the professional marketing programs yet.



Production capacities:
o Xuan Lai is a small Enterprise ( less than 100 laborers), so it is a big challenge if
Xuan Lan wishes to penetrate into the world market or take the order of large
value. The laborers mostly work seasonally.
o The laborer’s workmanship is still limited. The Enterprise has not organized
professional and methodical training courses. The training was mostly
implemented by practicing.
o The capital investment is still limited, so the capital turn-over ability is not strong,
leading to failure if taking large orders.
11


Marketing Management
3.3

Opportunities


Consuming habits:
o The domestic and Asian customers like to use products of highly ethnic
characteristics like bamboo house, armchairs, bamboo tables and some daily used
objects like Broad flat drying baskets; baskets; wooden clogs, hats and so on to
decorate the living rooms or bed rooms.
o Customers in EU and USA like modern designs like beds of western style, salons,
swings, book shelves, coffee tables, cupboards and small-size products like cup
pads, clothes hangers, flower vases and bamboo paintings.
o Thanks to the good-quality materials, prices, diversified models of the
combination between traditional features to the charming, modern features,
matching the taste of all consumer groups.



Legal environment:
o Vietnam always create favorable conditions for the development of handicrafts
section,
o Not forced to conform to the laws and certificate system in USA and EU like
natural wooden furniture.

3.4

Risks


In addition to more advanced technology, there is a trend that people prefer other
furniture made of leather, pressed wood, industrial wood and iron. This risk has created

full of hardship for the business of Xuan Lai. The business of village has ever been
degraded, nearly completely erased under the pressure of the commercial economy.



The bamboo and rattan furniture have never been considered to be high-class furniture, so
the Enterprise rarely received high-value orders.



There is a lack of high-level management and artistic value verification in foreign
markets.



The competitive products in ASIA like products in China, Laos and Thailand also bear
the particular styles, appearances and aesthetic value.



In Taiwan market, the strong competitors from China are also causing difficulties because
of the habit of purchasing local products of Chinese people.
12


Marketing Management


The material source, bamboo forests are on the verge of being exhausted, pushing
thousands of people to the unemployment, simultaneously affecting greatly to the export

turn-over of the related country.



The rattan industry in the Indochina region is facing the problem of decreasing the
domestic rattan sources because of the unsustainable harvesting process.



The material sources are bamboo forest which is going to be exhausted, pushing
thousands of employees to the risk of unemployment, at the same time affecting greatly
the export revenue of the related country.



The rattan industry in the Indochina region is facing the problem of decreasing the
domestic rattan sources because of the unsustainable harvesting process.

PLAN’S TARGETS (SMART)

4.1 Turn-over and profit target
In the short term, or in the period of 2011, 2012, the company will focus on indirect export
to the foreign buyers (importing companies) in Philippine and Taiwan, two Asian markets having
the similar taste with Vietnam people toward the products. The estimated growth rate in two
years as followed:
+ In 2011:The turn-over will increase by 30% ( the profit target is not focused in this year
because it is the period of finding market and distributors in the foreign countries)
+ In 2012: The turn-over will increase by 50%, the profit will increase by 30% compared

with that of 2011.
4.2 Market share target
-

Domestic market shares: Increase to get 15% at 2015

-

International market shares: get 1% at 2015

4.3 Trading brand target
The trading brand of Xuan Lai is recognized in the Taiwan and Philippine market. The
images of Xuan Lan furniture products create the comfort for the user with the slogan “ Xuan
Lai- your own comfort”. One notice when translating this slogan into local languages is that
English is used in Philippine and Chinese is used in Taiwan; in addition, the translation should be
paid attention carefully to avoid the misunderstanding and counter-effects under the shade of
culture.
