Abstract:
Virgin Group, the British conglomerate which operates in various businesses from airlines to bridal services, started Virgin Mobile USA (Virgin) in July 2002. Virgin targeted the under penetrated youth segment in the US market and was able to enrol two million customers by mid-2004. Analysts termed this performance as a huge success, considering the point that the services were targeted at the low-income youth market.
