...Djuice was first introduced in Bangladesh and then to Pakistan. It has since grown to become one of the largest Youth mobile brands in Pakistan. Since Pakistan has more than 50% population between the ages of 12 to 20, the youth market is very important for telecom sector. This is the reason why Telenor and its competitors Mobilink, Ufone and Warid have their own youth targeted brands like Jazz Octane, Warid GLOW and Ufone Youth Package. Marketing Strategy Over the last decade the telecom sector has matured and become very competitive. That is why even market leaders like Telenor can not adopt defensive strategies against its competitors. Recently Djuice has has dropped to second place after Ufone launched its Youth Brand. Now Telenor has a marketing strategy based on customized service provision. This is because the youth market is much more rationale in making decisions and since the target market is so wide a tailor made service is better than a more rigid offer.

This has allowed competitors to enter the market with newer innovations and better research to please consumers. By initially only targeting the business professional, Blackberry eliminated their appeal to a large chunk of the market.

The focus groups allowed insight into consumer demands, which included reliability for use in everyday life. The launch and creation of the Blackberry Sport can meet the consumer demands in style as well as technology advancement, which ultimately may make Blackberry the top smartphone once again.
