It also aims to explore possible marketing strategies to improve the business performance of fixed line telephones services of TM Melaka. The findings of this study showed the declining trend continued and seems unstoppable. The reasons for this might be due to the product itself or the change in consumers' preferences to other alternative services. This study proposed to the management of TM Melaka to review its marketing strategies as well as focus on retaining the existing fixed line telephones customer and aggressively promoting internet-based product applications and business solutions.
