    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Now a days drinking becomes the part and parcel of every people. Drinking is a

    major form of entertainment in peoples life. Drinking refreshes peoples body and

    mind and most of the people drinks for enjoyment. Soft drink is a consumer

    product in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh the market of soft drink is very

    competitive. The marketing processes of soft drink are different in Bangladesh

    then other countries. Here the producers of soft drink do not sell the products to

    the ultimate or final consumers. Companies are totally dependent on various

    distribution channels like wholesalers and retailers to deliver the product to the

    final consumer. So here the producers have to make people aware about their

    product through different advertisements and other promotional tools. With an

    aim to learn the marketing prospects of Bangladesh a study has been done with

    a soft drink namedTasty Cola which is going tobeintroduced very soon by

    the most powerful and financially strong company Square.Currently Square is

    not in the beverage side but they are trying to start their new segment named

    Square beverage limited and Tasty Cola is going to be their fist soft drink in

    this market. Here this report suggest about the marketing process that Squaremay or should look at to get good market share with this new product as soon as

    possible.

    PROJECT TITLE

    The name of this report is The Marketing process of a new product. And for

    that purpose we chose a well known company named SQUARE.

    OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT

    We are the students of MKT-202 Principles of Marketing. As a part of our

    study, the report was assigned by NAZLEE SHIDDIQUE, Lecturer, School of

    Business, North South University. We are thankful to her for assigning us such

    type of projects works in a group of four members.

    PURPOSE

    The purpose of this report is to find out some marketing processes through which

    a new product will be able to sustain in the market and be able to increase the

    market share in near future.

    Few years back we had only two major soft drink companies in the market and

    those were Coca Cola and Transcom Beverage (Pepsi). But in the last few years

    we got some other companies who start their business in this market. When this

    companies started their business the competition was not that much severe as

    present situation. But now the situation is really difficult for a new product or

    company to sustain because of huge competition. Now all the companies are

    giving all most same type of product in different price. Now SQUARE is trying to

    introduce TASTY COLA and they are facing a big competition from other

    companies. So to sustain in this market withholding the pressures of competition

    Square may follow the following marketing processes to sustain and get

    profitable growth in near future.

    LIMITATIONS OF THE REPORT

    The sellers of different superstores were really busy but still

    they helped as far it was possible.

    Some matters of SQUARE are confidential so we got very

    little information.

    Different shopkeepers give different type of information which

    conflict each other so we get confused.

    Beside all we try to do our best for this report.

    SWOT ANALYSIS

    SWOTAnalysis ofTasty-Cola

    STRENGTHS:

    1.Strong marketing forces:

    Tasty-Cola has a very specialized marketing team comprising of members who

    have proved their way into the company through hard work and perseverance.

    The extremely challenging selection system distinguished them from the rest of

    the workforce.

    2.Customized-taste:

    Before the launch of the product, a market research was undertaken to find out

    what particular cola trait attracted the people (fizzy ness, sweetness, thickness

    etc.). Tasty-Cola has been made suitable for the preferences of the Bangladeshi

    people as far as taste is concerned.

    3. Own production plant:

    Tasty-Cola has their own production plant which gives them greater control over

    the activities that they undertake. They have their own production areas which

    are suitable for making this type of products. They have very good place to stock

    the ingredients and outcomes.

    12/38

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 12

    WEAKNESSES:

    1. Ingredients quality:

    Unlike Coke or Pepsi, the mix is not brought from foreign countries but made

    here in Bangladesh. As a result, the quality of the base ingredients might just not

    be at par with that of the international brands like the two mentioned before.

    2. Lack of promotional funds:

    Funds for the cola would be relatively low when compared with cola giants like

    Coke and Pepsi who have been in the local market for a long time. Competing

    with them might be hard for the local company with relatively low fund levels.

    3. Limited market share:

    The Bangladeshi market is already dominated by Pepsi and Coke who, during

    the last few years, had to share some portion of it to 2-3 local brands of cola as

    well. As a result, the task of Tasty-Coal team would be very challenging to make

    room for their share.

    OPPORTUNITIES:

    1. Huge market:

    The population of Bangladesh is increasing at a very high rate and so is

    increasing the potential cola drinkers. This growth rate makes the Bangladeshi

  • 7/29/2019 Tasty Cola

    13/38

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 13

    market a very attractive one for any cola brand who would do anything to enter

    this market.

    2. Local appeal:

    Being a local product, a segment of the consumers might be inclined to buy the

    local Tasty-Cola, preferring it over foreign brands. That would be one huge

    advantage that the local brand would have over the foreign ones.

    3. High growth rate:

    In cola markets like that of Bangladesh where the saturation point of the market

    has not been achieved yet, there is immense potential for a new cola to create its

    own share of the market. The per capita soft drink consumption is increasing

    every day and so it can be expected to last for some considerable time.

    4. Good relationship with retailers/ dealers:

    Tasty-Cola team has very good relationship with the retailer/dealers who have

    made the distribution easy and effective for tasty-cola.

    THREATS:

    1. Other existing products:

    There are a number of foreign and local colas already in the market engaged in

    fierce competition. The amount of time they have been in the market and the

    experience they have gained in this area makes them a great threat for Tasty-

    Cola from the very beginning.

  • 7/29/2019 Tasty Cola

    14/38

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 14

    2. Good taste of competitors:

    The competing brands have made their tastes acceptable in the minds of the

    consumers, and although the taste of Tasty-Cola was developed after extensive

    research, being there in the minds of the consumers and being there in reality is

    a totally different matter. So many cases are present in the marketing world

    where research findings have been defied that there is no scope of saying that

    just the mere existence of Tasty-Cola would make its taste acceptable to the

    consumers. They might still stick to the old established brands and consider them

    to have the better taste.

    4. Political instability:

    The country Bangladesh is one of the most politically unstable countries in the

    world. Change in power brings in change in policies that affect the businesses in

    different way (and which are always that fair). The external environment is not

    that business-friendly as well.

    5. Competitors equipped with greater promotional funds:

    International brands like Coke and Pepsi have massive funds allotted for

    promotional purposes. Local brands also have some fund, especially those who

    have been successful in gaining some market share at the expense of the other

    established ones. Promotions play a major role in the sale of any product, and

    competitors getting the edge there could easily have the conditions in their favor.

    UNDIFFERNTIATED MARKETING

    This marketing strategy covers the whole market with one offer without

    differentiating the market segment. This is also called mass marketing. In this

    strategy we have to focus on what is a common need of consumers.

    In terms of Tasty Cola we are concentrating on all type of segments that means

    we are not giving this cola to any specific group of people rather than we are

    giving our product to all type of peoples. We are not differentiating the market

    and we are targeting the peoples of every age, place, and personality. Our

    product is for every one so that we can get advantage of the huge population.

    different from other products.

    TRADE MARK

    Trademark is a legal designation giving exclusive right on brand marks, names

    etc. Our product has a trade mark which gives us a legal designation to use the

    product name, design, logo etc.

    has on customer response to the product or service.

    Brands are more than just names and symbols. Brands represent consumers

    perceptions and feelings about a product and its performance. So the brand

    name has a very good impact on the customers and if the brands dont have a

    good image on the customers then the product wont do well in the market. So it

    PRICING

    PRICE

    Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service or the sum of the

    values that consumers exchange for the benefits of having or using the product

    or service.

    PRICING STRATEGIES

    There are two types of pricing strategies and they are

    1. Market Skimming pricing,

    2. Market penetration pricing.

    For our product we are following the market penetrating method.

    MAREKET PENETRATION

    It means setting a low price for a new product in order to attract a large number

    of buyers and a large market share.

    We are following this because our product is new product and the market is very

    competitive. So to entering the market successfully and to sustain in the market

    we are following this method. As Square is a very big company and have a well

    financial background so it can afford good quality products in low price. To

    sustain in the market and get the market shares as quickly as possible Tasty

    Coal is going to follow the market penetration formula.

    PRICING APPROACH

    There are four kind of pricing approaches and we are going to follow the cost

    based pricing and competition based pricing for our product.

    COST BASED PRICING

    We are going to do the cost based pricing because in the drinking segment the

    demands fluctuate but the costs are well known. This means here we know about

    the cost of production very well and we can easily fix up the price of the product

    by adding the production cost and profit price per unit.

    COMPETITION BASED PRICING

    We are also considering the competition based pricing method. Because in this

    method the arrived price would attain sales. It will give us a competitive

    advantage and attack our competitors directly. It will give our product a

    competitive price which will help it to get market shares quickly because

    consumers always look for good products in low price. So if we give good quality

    products in low price than obviously consumers will buy our product, which will

    give us more profit and market share.

    CHANNEL MANAGEMENT

    MARKETING CHANNEL

    A set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a

    product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business

    user.

    OUTLETS

    Square is going to distribute the product in different types shops or outlets to

    serve the product to the consumers. And the stores are

    Superstores / Super malls --- AGORA, NANDAN, P.Q.S etc.

    Fast food stores --- HELVETIA, DOMINOUS, and PIZZA

    HUT, WIMPY etc.

    University canteens --- N.S.U canteen, D.U canteen

    (DUTCH) etc.

    Local small shops --- local stores which is not big.

    We chose this 4 kind of outlets because this types suits most in terms of our

    product. Because our product is a cola drink which will be eaten by the young

    peoples mostly. As we are doing the mass marketing formula in choosing the

    target market so we are having our product in all types of market segments. We

    choose four types of outlets for different reasons like --- we chose superstores

    because now a days superstores are the most favorite place for most of the

  • 7/29/2019 Tasty Cola

    32/38

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 32

    people. So if we put our product in the superstores then a huge number of people

    will know and get the product and our product will be able to compete our

    competitors. We put our product in the university canteens so that the students

    can get the product easily and students are our big target market. So if we put

    our product in the university canteens then it will be sold more and we will get

    profit earlier than any where else. We are also giving our product to the local

    shops so that all kind of peoples can get it easily and this will give us a big

    advantage in creating our brand image as well as good profit.

    NATURE OF DISTRIBUTION

    There are three kind of distribution system ---

    Intensive distribution

    Exclusive distribution

    Selective distribution

    Square is going to follow the selective distribution method.

    SELECTIVE DISTRIBUTION

    The use of more than one, but fewer than all, of the intermediaries who are

    willing to carry the companys product.

    We are going to follow the selective method because of some reasons like---

    Here we wont give our product to all of the distributors and

    this will give us more control on the product price and quality.

  • 7/29/2019 Tasty Cola

    33/38

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 33

    Because if we have less intermediaries than its easy to

    control them.

    Square has some very good distributors who are really expert

    in this segment. These distributors work for Square mainly

    and they are very strong in this part as they are distributing

    the other products of Square successfully. These distributors

    are able to distribute the products in all most all parts of the

    country. So we dont need to do intensive distribution to make

    our product available to all the peoples.

    MARKETING CHANNELS

    Marketing channel is very important for better supply and demand management.

    There are three types of marketing channels

    Direct channel distribution system

    Indirect channel distribution system

    Multi channel distribution system.

    Square is using indirect channel system.

    INDIRECT CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

    Indirect marketing channel is that channel which containing one or more

    intermediary levels.

    Square is using indirect channel distribution system which consists of retailers,

    wholesalers, distributor, consumers etc.

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 34

    CHANNELCHART

    We are using distributors, wholesalers and retailers to distribute our product in

    the market. First we are giving our product to the selective distributors and then

    distributors give the product to the wholesalers. Retailers are getting the product

    from the wholesalers and they are serving the product to the customers. So

    Square is following an indirect distribution method.

    CHANNEL CONFLICT

    Disagreement among marketing channel members on goals and rules that is who

    should do what and for what rewards.

    For indirect distribution system channel conflict is a big problem which can

    damage the product a lot. Here different distributors are looking for selling the

    product in different prices so the price goes up very much. Distributors,

    wholesalers and retailers increase the product price to get more profit so the

    product price becomes very high.

    SQUARE BEVERAGE LIMITED 35

    To avoid this channel conflict we are following some techniques which are listed

    bellow---

    First of all we have fixed our product price so that the

    distributors or retailers cant increase the price as there wish.

    We have included the price in the packaging.

    Then as we are doing selective method to do the distribution

    so we wont have to control too much distributors. We will

    have a very good influence and control on the distributors and

    wholesalers and so the chance of conflict becomes low.

    As we are giving permission to some distributors who are

    friendly to us so it wont be big problem to control the price and

    quality of the product.

    COMMUNICATION PLAN

    BUYER READINESS STAGE

    The stages consumers normally pass through on their way to purchase, including

    awareness, knowledge, liking, preference, conviction, and purchase.
