Situation analysis
2.1 Customers:
In summer people of all ages take soft drinks and juices to quench their thirst. So
Sugarcane juice in tetra pack is highly demanded by customers because it reduces the
thirst and it is useful for healthy life because it is hygienic and pure. So when it is highly
available at affordable price at everywhere customers will use Sugarcane juice than soft
drinks because it has no side effects and it is safe.
2.2 Competitors:
Direct Competitors
The direct competitors of our Product are:
Pran
Shezan
Danish
But we are not competing our product with them because they are the competitors of the
Juice market and they are only providing the different flavor juices but not the
sugarcane juice.
Indirect competitors
As the Sugarcane juice is the symbol of the refreshment and nutrition and it is also a
substitute for the other soft drinks. So we have compared it with other soft drinks.
So in the soft drink market we have the competitors like
Coca cola
5

PEPSI
And other Instant drinks
2.3 Company:
We are going to launch a new brand of Sugarcane juice because we are going to
established new business in Bangladesh

Market Opportunity and Issues


Our product is sugarcane juice in different pack. Sugarcane juice is widely used in
summer season because it is good in taste and low in cost. Fresh sugar cane juice has no
preservatives, however its tendency to turn black from oxidation soon after pressing is
very high, so to secure from oxidation we should pack in tetra pack packaging. The sugar
cane juice has several health benefits and it is better to other soft drinks so people like
this.
Issue:
Our main issue is about the perception of people about the sugarcane juice building
brand is very difficult due to perception because they will think that it is easily available
in fresh form then why we buy it in pack.
We must invest heavily on promotion of juice and also will change time to time because
we are new in the market so we have to create awareness in customer about our product
and to attract them.

main target. As this segment is maximum in number in population in Bangladesh and
it is more Fun loving and excitement seeking so it is our best target market. More or
less we will cover the urban areas initially and then we can make our products
available to other towns and other rural areas.

As a new company with a new dimensional product, we will not cover the rural
areas at this particular stage.

competitors.

know that Pran is the leading Juice manufacturer of Bangladesh, with a large product
line at present. Our goal is, within 5 years we will be able to targeted area.

Marketing Mix

Product:
Price:
The price of the product can also influence the buying behavior of the consumers because
in Bangladesh there are different level of classes based on the income difference so price
is the one of the important factor, some of the consumer can afford the price and others
cant, so we must set the price of the product that is afforded by all the social classes
of the region.
So we use penetration pricing strategy.
250ml- 20Tk
500ml- 40Tk
1000ml- 80Tk

Place:
The place of the distribution and availability of the product also influence the
buying behavior because if the product is in reach of the consumer he will prefer it and if
it is hard to find the product in the market he will never buy that product. So we provided
our product to all the all the distributors and they will provided it to famous retailers
of Dhaka, Chittagong and Rajshahi. Because of this our product will be available at more
shops and our sales will increase.

Promotion:
The promotion of the product i.e. the advertisement, sales promotion and
other promotional tools can change the buying behavior because some of the individuals
highly influenced by the advertisement of the product.

Advertisement:
o Newspaper Advertisement: To make Herbal Juice introduce to the general public,
consumers or to the diabetics patients who are trying to lower their sugar level but are
not able to do so, the best possible way is to advertise through newspaper, as the
coverage of newspaper is well distributed. Since, we are marketing our product in the
major cities at the initial stage; we give advertisement in the major national or

10

regional dailies. The advertisement will give the message about the benefits of
drinking herbal juice and to make the advertisement attractive we emphasize basically
on green color as it signifies youth and environment friendly. Through the
advertisements we want to signify that drinking herbal juice makes our life healthy,
wealthy and wise.

o Television:

After giving advertisements in the national dailies, we can now give visual
advertisements on the Televisions. In the commercials we can again demonstrate the
benefits of Herbal Juices. When compared to the newspaper advertisement, TV ads are
more effective and attractive since people can see and visualize the demonstrating, they
can be easily motivated to consume and try the products. Therefore TV advertisements
are seen as one of the best possible Medias to promote products such as Herbal Juices.

o Billboards, Neon Signs, Large TV Screens: In the modern concept of advertisement


we see that businesses now days use the high technology equipped billboards, neon
signs, large TV Screens, posturing, banners, etc. so that the moving people can easily
be attracted to the advertisements that are displayed along the road sides and high rise
buildings. So taking the concept of such modern ideas, we try to introduce our
product Herbal Juices to the mass people, in such manner.

11

o Car and Vehicle Advertisements:

People of the cities now days are quite familiar with the Car and Vehicle advertisement.
We will use this media to advertise our product. For example: we will make a contact
with some taxi Cab company and BRTC to present some highlighted message on the
body of the vehicles , so that the people can easily be attracted to our Herbal Juices.

o Mobile team/ Mobile meeting: As part of personal selling we will train and send
some team to the public places like colleges and university campuses, markets, rail
and bus station and others common places so that they can explain about the product
to the mass people and encourage them to take our product. They will give some free
samples to the people to justify the quality and effectiveness of the product.

o Awareness Messages: Besides of telecasting our formal advertisement on the


television, we will telecast some awareness message about the harms of using
12

preservative and arsenic and benefit of using our product. For this part we will use
some familiar and attractive people to give the messages like popular actors-actress,
players, doctors, singers and models.

marketing channel. Our channel will be like follows:

Manufacturer

Wholesaler

Jobber

Retailers

Consumers

14

Actually this Sugarcane Juice is not produced in Bangladesh. We took the initiative to
manufacture it. So we are the manufacturer here.

Wholesaler: We will have six authorized wholesaler, as the agents in the six
divisional cities to where we will offer our products. These wholesalers will represent
our products with the help of different retailer and also advertise, store, distribute and
do other promotional activities as well.

Jobber: Under the six authorized wholesalers, we will have around 15-20 jobbers to
each divisional wholesaler, who will act as the sub- agents of the wholesaler and
influence the market and retailers to use and present the product. These jobbers will
be appointed on commission basis.

Retailers:

15

Our retailers will actually offer our products to the actual and potential customers. They
will collect the Juice packs from the wholesaler and market them frequently. In each an
every public places like market, rail and bus station and river ports and air ports, besides
colleges, university campuses and near the commercial areas, we will have retailer shop
and outlets so that the can easily collect our product and use it. By this way we will reach
to the customers.

They are the target customers for our company and reaching them, should be our main
goal in order to market our products. They will give the final and overall performance of
our product and according to their demands the company must set their objectives and
strategies.

SWOT Analysis

Strength:

First mover Advantage:


We have introduced sugarcane juice in Husna pack for the first time. So it is helpful for
us to have more customer at the than other new competitors because the time the take to
enter the market the customer will become loyal to our product.
Quality Conscious:
Orchid produce a good quality products. It can not compromise on quality.
Less no of taste:
We have introduced the first time that there is not any sugarcane juice in Husna
pack available in market.
Everyone can drink this Herbal Juice.
No side effect of our product.

17

Weaknesses:

Storage ability
Husna juices not store able for long time.
Loyalty:
Consumers are brand loyal toward competitors product so we have to convince them.
Because there are already competitors who are dealing in juices and beverages, so it is
difficult to shift them from other juices.
Supply may not be proportional to demand due to many reasons like political
unrest, scarcity of resource etc.
Excessive consumption may result health hazard. As excess of any consumption
and taking will likely to affect the health.

Opportunities:
New flavor:
We can introduce flavored sugarcane juices. E.g., mint and ginger flavor etc.
Export:
We can export our product to foreign country in order to earn more profit.
Support foreign investors

Government support foreign investors to invest in Bangladesh.


Health & Environment ministry approved.

Threats:
Government Regulation
They face problem if government employ taxes on them which force them to raise
the price of their product.
Increase in competition

Entry barrier
There are no many entry barriers so a large numbers of local juices enter in juices market
Some people can make fake sugarcane Juices, and can sell it to the market and if
people drink that they can a get a serious type of disease.

Review and Control


We will have simple, decision friendly, monthly, quarterly, and annual reports focusing on

Revenue and sales


Expenses
Customer feedback
Market log (self and competitive major activities).

Control is mainly concerned about monitoring the performances and taking corrective
action to the respective task, if needed. This control process is said to be very vital
task for preparing any sort of planning. As we are preparing a marketing plan for
launching our product so we have to also take an effective Control plan. We will
follow Budgetary Control to implement our marketing plan. That means for each
every sector like Advertisement, Distribution, Sales, Position in the market and
Earning Profit we have some specific standard and we will compare it with the actual
performance. Our controlling strategy will be like that, if the actual work meet the
standard we will accept it and any department fail to obtain the desire standard we
will punish them according to the rules of the organization. On the other hand if any
department fulfill the target and exit the standard limit, we will reward them
providing financial benefit as part of motivating factor. For example: about market
positioning our target is to capture the 50 percent of the market share gradually within
5 years (15 percent within 1 years, 30 percent within 3 years and 50 percent within 5
years and more). After 2 years we will evaluate the actual performance with our
standard and take action. On the other hand we will have some target about
advertising like, in which media we will use for add and how they will be effective to
increase our sales volume. If the performance is ok then we will remain in the same
strategy, but if it does not work properly we will quit the media and chose another
effective one. Finally it can be said that our control unit will work to monitor and
evaluate the performances and taking actions against the department, if they find any

20

department that is not functioning properly or any sector which is not giving adequate
profits to the company.

Conclusion
To reach our goal, we have taken lots of plan which we have mentioned in our Marketing
Plan Report. We will have a control team to monitor, evaluate and recognize the actual
performance. Through these activities if they are properly implemented, we hope we can
achieve our goals. In our Term paper we have already discussed everything about
sugarcane juice. If we do all these things then the launch of sugarcane juice in our
country will be a success. The initial plant capacity is for processing 30 tons of sugarcane
per month and other products, on a full capacity basis. However, the capacity utilization
is expected to be 70%, 80%, and 100% in the first, second, and third year respectively.
