ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
BASIC CONSIDERATIONS
2. 1: Organization Overview
Vision
In competitive business world, we want to be a strong brand of trust. To the
business viewpoints our one and only vision is to earn profit. However, we are
determining to follow the business ethics in our business and we should try to
maintain the environment and social responsibility.

on discovering and thereby meeting stated and unstated requirements.
2.2:Basic Considerations
Our company offers best quality Shampoo and hair color with different packages
to customers at a very reasonable price. By using our Shampoo and hair color
they can easily find out the basic differences of the quality of the Shampoo and
hair colors comparing with other companies. Depending on the market
researchers information and considering the growing demand of detergent
Page 7 of 49
powder, we are going to launch a new product Henna Natural Shampoo and
hair color in the market. The marketing strategy of our company will be based on
a cost effective and quality service to each of its target segment. Our focus will
be on utilizing all of its resources effectively and efficiently to continually serve
its customers with satisfaction through producing best quality product. Our
marketing research department found the opportunity to provide our customers
a new facility using Shampoo and hair color. The industry already contains some
products. But we found that there is no Shampoo product containing the smell of
the Henna flavors. Our marketing research department surveyed the market and
found that there are many potential buyers for our product which will satisfy their
needs. So, we have the opportunity to enter the market and fulfill the gap. We
are going to offer the smell of Henna to Shampoo and hair color with a very
reasonable price so that customer can easily select it to use.
Size of Business:
Our factory will be establishing around 30 decimal spaces which price will be
around Tk. 4,000,000. For the office purpose we choose shyamoli which outlet
will be 2000 sq feet. We will allocate the space to decorate with the product
shelves, freezes, beverage vending machines, cash counter in a specific manner
that portrays the commitment, and delicacy of our shop. We will have an office
and a store keep our stock inventories along with outlet. The total rental expense
for the whole business will be around Tk. 30,000 per month. However, for the
business our prime concern will be the security because at night in Bangladesh
the crime rate is very high. Therefore, we have decided to have CCTV
surveillance and security lock.
Factory:
We select our factory location in Savar, Dhaka. Savar is the part of Dhaka district
where we can get the best transportation facilities as well as cheap land for our
factory place. There we should get the available labor force with lower price. In
Savar local area we should get a huge market for our product and thats why we
dont have to hire any distributor for that area. Other hand we should get the
Page 8 of 49
local political support from that area as a Bangladeshi company and as a native
of that area.
Office:
We select our head office in Shymoli, Rupayan Tower Khilji road, Shymoli,
Dhaka. It is very good location for our office. We select our office in 4 th Floor of
Shymoli Rupayan Tower. Our office space is 2000 square feet and its monthly
rental expense is 30,000.00Tk.

The burn rate exceeds capital and management tends to focus on safes rather
than profits.
Action Plan:
3.4:CRITICAL ISSUES
Both the shampoo and hair color product is the new and innovative idea for the
market. So that the company has to consider some critical issues, which are as
follows-
The products sales growth will be slow for first six months in the very first
year of their operation. Thus the company has to hold the products
position for first 6 month, which is admirable.
As the product is new in the market, it will take too much time to stay in
the heart of the consumer and the beginning consumers will be
innovators. Thus attractive and effective marketing will be needed to
attract, grow, and retain the customers.
The marketing objectives will be to create product awareness and trial.
The company must use heavy sales promotion to entice trial that is matter
of investing huge amount of money.
The products cost per customer will be high, as the product is lunching
initially. For sustaining in the market, we will less profit in the first time.

5.1:Product Description
As the consumers demands and lifestyles changes over time and new
manufacturing processes become available, the shampoo and hair color industry
responds with new products. Because cosmetics products became the part of our
everyday lives, it is essential that they do not present a significant risk to our
hair. However, they are loaded with potentially toxic chemicals which are harmful
for our environment and also for our health. In our project we have observed
different concentrations of shampoo and hair color on hair and have seen how
shampoo and hair color harms to our hairs day by day and at last we face
different types of skin & hair problems. We also repeated this experiment with a
Henna natural shampoo and hair color which shows the opposite effect of
shampoo and hair colors. Therefore, it will better for our company.
Henna Shampoo is the new concept in Bangladesh. People use henna for
different purpose especially for hair use is very popular and effective. For that
reason it has huge market demand based on our market survey but this product
is not available in market. Thats why; we closer look to Henna Natural Shampoo
as solution. We will try to fulfill the customers demand by our product Henna
Natural Shampoo to solve the hair related problem.
For the Henna Natural Shampoo and hair color we will choose most successful
advertising channel which will be through NTV, Channel I, ATN Bangla and RTV,
which are the most popular television channels in the country. We will also use
some bill-boards and leaflets and we will hold a sport event for the young
generation to promote the product. May be, we can use cellular operator in our
marketing through their push sms service.
The most successful advertising and promotion has been through the following:
5.5:Price Determination
The Company established the price of its new product Henna Natural Shampoo
& Hair Color with the concept from cost based pricing. According to our
calculation the cost of shampoo is 5ml-Tk 2.33, 100ml-Tk 60, 200ml-Tk 119,
400ml-Tk 230 and we set our selling price 5ml-Tk 3, 100ml-Tk 85, 200ml-Tk 160,
400ml-Tk 300.
5.6:Distribution Strategy
We will primarily use our own distributors for distributing our new product
Henna Natural Shampoo & Hair Color. Then, we will make some new channels
and assign some new distributors to promote our new product to all over the
county. Our product will be distributed through a network of retailers in the first
year. We will have good partner relation management. We will try our level best
to satisfy our supplier along with the customer. If the suppliers are not happy
then they will not co-operate our customer and that will be a failure for the
company. Among the most important channel partners being contracted are-
Some cases we will use the railroad and the river to transport our product.

Introduction:
Page 25 of 49
In this stage of our products life cycle, sales are expected to be medium. On the
other hand cost per customer will be high. So, in this stage, we will use cost-plus
pricing. Distribution will be selective; to well-known mega shops and retailers. We
will use heavy promotional activities; advertising, personal selling and try to
build product awareness among early adopters.
Growth:
In this stage, both sales and profits of our product are expected to rise rapidly. To
penetrate the market, we will try to reduce cost per unit by producing more
units. Growing number of both customers and competitors are expected in this
stage. We will try to maximize our market share by building intensive
distribution. In this stage, we will reduce the promotional activities and will
conduct market survey research to know consumer demand.
Maturity:
We expect to have our highest profit in this stage. Peak sales will occur as a
result of low cost per customer. Majority of the target consumers are expected to
use our shampoo and hair color in this stage. Our objective will be maximizing
profits while defending market share. In this stage, we will start to introduce our
other brand that is Active detergent power with feature of Ritha. We will set
the price to match or beat competitors. Distribution strategy will be more
intensive, that is consumers will be getting our product more easily in nearby
Page 26 of 49
stores. Advertising activities will stress brand differences and benefits. Finally we
will increase promotional activities to encourage brand switching.
Decline:
In this stage of our product life cycle, both sales and profits will be declining.
Cost per customer will be low, as we will reduce our expenditures. We will also
phase out weak items that are unprofitable. Price will be cut off and promotional
activities will be reduced to a minimal level. In this stage, we will again go for
selective distribution. Finally, advertising activities will be reduced to level
needed to retain loyal.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can see that, the product the company is going to
launch has a bright future in its market. As the product is innovative,
the consumers are going to appreciate it and according to the R&D
(Research and Development) department this product will be a strong
product mix for our company and once our Detergent Powder will
reach to the hand of every of our targeted customers. We can say that
Our business will be a profitable for us as well as for our customers when we can
organize it very carefully. The whole credit depends on the performance by us
and the performance of the teacher. The main thing is that in this plan we
consider only a few students for the first month as well as for the first year. It
depends on the management and the operation planning that how will they
Page 47 of 49
increase the feasibility. The advertising is here a big factor if we fail to attract the
customer at the first time then it may be a problem. It is very sensitive issue so
we must continue the quality of the teaching. We have the plan to increase the
business with other area of Dhaka city.
We will provide service in a way that no other competitive retail store can touch.
It is one of our greatest assets and points of differentiation. Insight, ideas,
inspiration, and fun are the goal. Repeat, high dollar purchases from loyal
customers are the desired end product.
