Bata is a new and starting up company which forms on 4 April in 2010 in

Dhaka. Its objectives are to provide world class and Executive classes shoe.
This company is preparing to launch Executive Shoe which is quite new and
stylish product for alls.

Using shoe has gotten stylish overtime. People spend thousands of

money for buying different types of Shoe to make them beautiful and
sophisticated. As thing get better with time, people will move on from
the good Executive Shoe.

Objectives Of This Assignment:

The objectives of this assignment is to know how to started a new

product and how to captured the market shares. The implication of 4
ps of marketing. We also learned about SWAT analysis of new
product.

2. Market Summary:

Executive Shoe possesses good information about the market and knows a
great deal about the common attributes of the most customers. This
information will be leveraged to better understand what their specific
needs and how Executive Shoe can better communicate with them.

3.1. Market Demographics:

Geographic:
 • Executive Shoe has no specific geographic target area in
Bangladesh but we prefer urban area more than rural area. It
would be very suitable according to our weather condition and
climate. People can use this shoe who is doing job as
executive.

Demographics:

• Male can use this shoe.

• People who are in the executive are the vital users.

• Bigger family consists of 6 to 10 member can use family size

and single person and single family most probably use little
size.

• People who are educated are major concerning customer.

• People who are involved in earning and lead a prosperous life

also our concerning customer.

Behavior Factor:

• People who are very aristocratic and lead very luxurious life
they usually accept this product easily and old conventional
people will take longer time to accept this shoe.

3.2. Market Needs:

People usually need Shoe. Almost all people in our country use shoe
for their hair. People are very much habituated to use shampoo. Most of the
people recommended hair care are using first and foremost for cleaning purpose.

Purpose of using Honey shampoo:

 11%
Free from
dandrap
41% Silky hair
21%
Clean

Free from
gearm
27%

Most of the people of our country are very much conventional but our
young generations are different as they can cope with newly things much
more easily. Some sorts of people especially young generations are very much
monotonous with using shampoo. So they are looking for something new and
different. That’s why we believe that our Honey shampoo would be the most
impressive want for this growing need.

3.3. Market Trends:

 In our country people usually use shampoo for their hair, except 70%
male and 95% female respondents replied positively that they use shampoo regularly for hair.
However, among male and female who is not use shampoo on regular basis because they feel that
shampoo trim down the smoothness of hair.

Shampoo Usage Pattern:

Influencing Factors in New face wash Purchase Decision:

While purchasing shampoo both male and female respondents firstly look for brand and their
percentage is 26.67%. Then, secondly they prefer both antiseptic quality and beauty care quality
and for these the percentage is 23.33%. After that, 10.00% consumers seek for both price and
ingredients. Again, 6.67% people search for both availability and packaging. Finally, only 3.33%
people hunt for few other factors which are pack size, advertisements, and shopkeeper’s opinion.

Different types of people use different types of shampoo. People who

are concerned with their beautification they use luxury shampoo like Dove
which possesses maximum market share. Other face wash like pones, are
also used for their beauty. Some other people are very much cautious to their
skin and try to keep them fresh . These sorts of people usually use Lifebuoy
face wash, Savlon. Upper classes and sophisticated people use very expensive
and very lucrative beauty soap like Dove, , and Camay. Our young generation
and sophisticated people want new, different, innovative, stylish, and quality
something for showering. So we assume that shower gel would be greater
interest in this prospect.

Market segmentation:

Honey shampoo is a new and uncommon product and its segmentation is

different to other ordinary face wash. Its segmentation bases on-

Gender (men & women)

Social class (Upper upper-Upper- Upper middle and Middle)
Density (urban area)
Attitude toward product (positive, adaptable with new things.) and generation
(young)

Our market segment is quite measureable because our main target

customer is 15–64 aged people and its approximate size is 63.6% of total population

Our target segment is very accessible because we urban area is one of our target market. The
urban population which is 27% of total population

Our market segment is quite differentiable (Such as Men, Women) who

have distinct choices needs and characteristics.
In order to actionable our marketing program our market segment will
help us. We can introduce different marketing strategy and promotional
strategy according to men and women choice, preference and needs.

So our market segment is measurable, accessible, actionable, and

differentiable.

very good quality and adaptable for the young generation but it has some
lacking. So we provide some recommendation to overcome those lacking.
 It’s a new product in our country market and has no brand popularity so
we need to take lots of promotional activities to create brand awareness
among the people.

 Its price is much higher than other face wash. So we should reduce our
production cost by producing and selling larger scales.

 We give much priority to young generation but capturing the young

generation we should emphasizes on other people as well.

 We should provide more information about quality, feature and benefits

to the target customers.
