Objectives of the Report:
As a business expectative of future, we should have to gather experience beside our books. We should not concern our lesson only in classroom but to implement it in practical life. That will help us in our future life. A clear objective helps in preparation of well decorated report in which others take the right type of decision. So, identifying objectives is very much important. Our purpose of preparing the report is:
 To identify a new product

Pricing system:

Pricing strategies are most important stage in marketing mix. As we are going to launch a new product in the market, we do not have any idea whether the price would be accepted or not by the customers. If we select extensively high price, customers will not buy and volume of sales will be very low. On the other hand setting lower price will not cover our costs. So we have to consider the following things in selecting price.
 Acceptance of product:
As our product faces competition against different types of juice, price of our product should be accepted by customers. We will keep reasonable price and provide quality product for customers’ acceptance.
 Maintaining market share:
If our product is accepted by customers in near future, more competitors will enter in the market. So our price should be such that can protect our market share in the competition.
Moreover we will need to lower the price to hold the market share at the time of competition.  Earning profit:
Our main objectives are to earn profit. So we should not set any price that will not cover the reasonable cost of the product. After covering the cost we set a profit margin for our pricing. We have followed appropriate costing method and then set up the price logically by following the proper pricing system

BBA Report: A Marketing Plan of Pineapple Juice

Marketing overview:
Current market Situation:
Currently in Bangladesh, the national economy and marketplace are undergoing rapid changes and transformation. A large number of reasons could be attributed to these changes; one of the reasons in these changes in the Bangladesh’s Market situation is
Globalization, and the subsequent and resulting explosive growth of global trade and the international competition. The other reason for these changes in the Bangladesh’s Market situation is the technological change. This is an important factor because the technological competitiveness is making, not only the Bangladesh’s market, but also the global marketplace competitive. In the Bangladesh’s Marketing situation, the market success goes to those companies that are best matched to the current environmental imperatives. Those companies that can deliver what the people want and can delight the
Bangladesh’s customers are the market leaders. Today the companies are operating in such a marketplace where survival of the fittest is the law. In order to win, the companies are coming out with various new and evolving strategies because the Bangladesh’s market is also changing very fast. It is to capture the Bangladesh’s market, that the domestics companies and the Multi­National Companies are using all of their Resources.
In order to get the current market share of juice we surveyed among 50 people of Barisal and asked their preference for juice when they are thirsty.

Marketing opportunities:
Analyzing the current market situation we found that there are many strong competitors exist in market. But our product is totally new & different from existing products. Our product is qualitative & good for health. That’s why we think that this juice will be demandable in market. There is a huge potential market for juice in Bangladesh because; pineapple juice is a new product in the market. People have a squashy view to pineapple rather than any other fruits. Because it’s nutritional value is higher than other fruits.

Marketing Strategy
Segmentation:
A market segment is a group of people or organizations sharing one or more characteristics that cause them to have similar product and or service needs. A market segment is a group of people or organizations sharing one or more characteristics that cause them to have similar product and service needs. We segmented our market according to the basis of age, income, & weight.
We have proposed 4 types of juice products according to our market segmentation. Those are following:
 Junior Juice Pack (120ml)
 Normal Pack(250ml)
 Contemptible Pack (500ml)
 Family Pack(1ltr)

Target market:
A marketer can rarely satisfy everyone. Not everyone likes the same thing. Therefore marketers start by dividing up the market into segments. They identify and profile distinct group of buyers who might prefer or require varying product and service mixes by examining demographic psychographic, geographic, technological and behavioral differences among buyer. Then the marketer designed which segments present the greatest opportunities, which are its Target markets. We have segmented our total local market into 4 parts according to the consumers’ affordability, and our main target is to enter into this segmented market and satisfy all the consumers. Our target market is total local market.

Market Positioning:
In marketing, positioning has come to mean the process by which marketers try to create awareness and positioning in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization. It is the relative competitive comparison of their product occupying in a given market as perceived by the target market. Our juice helps to maintain good health which create a value in consumer mind about this product motivate them to buy frequently. Frequent ads on TV, internet and radio channels will help to reach our message to our targeted consumers. Then we will have print and billboard ads in respect of our product and market.
We positioned our product as:
 High quality product
 Reasonable price
 Reliable

Pull Strategy:
Pull strategy is a promotion strategy that calls for spending a lot on advertising and consumer promotion to induce final consumers to buy the product. If the pull strategy is effective, consumers will then demand the product from channel members. Who will intern demand it from producers. We will emphasize on pull strategy more to have long lasting sustenance in the competitive market. We will change our marketing strategies over time to satisfy the consumers changing demand.
Push Strategy: http://bbareport.blogspot.com/2012/08/a­marketing­plan­of­pineapple­juice.html 9/12

It is a promotion strategy that calls for using the sales force and trade promotions to push the product through channels. The producer promotes the product to channel members to induce them to carry the product and to promote it to final consumers. We will also follow push strategy initially to grab the consumers of other brands’ products. We have a strong belief that if any consumer tastes our product single time he/she will be interested to purchase it again and again.

Distribution Strategies:
In generally there are different types of marketing distribution system. Consumers are able to buy the products from different market place. All these distribution strategies are consists of producer, wholesaler, retailer, and finally to the consumer.
There are mainly four types of marketing distribution channel:
1. Conventional Marketing channel
2. Vertical marketing channel
3. Horizontal Marketing channel
4. Hybrid Marketing channel
We select the conventional marketing channel to distribute our product. Our juice will be distributed by the specified distributor which will be selected by the company. The selected distributor will supply the juice product to the wholesaler and also to the retailer and the consumer will collect the product from the retailers.
There are three types of distribution strategies:
1. Selective distribution
2. Intensive distribution
3. Exclusive distribution
We choose the intensive distribution for our product. We will supply our product all over the country on the basis of our product demand so that the consumer can get the product easily. The distribution channel is given below:

Authorized dealer

FIG: Distribution channel

important day(s). Such as Phahela Baishak (Happy Bangla New Year); Eid –Ul­ Fitar,
Eid –UL –Azha, Friendship day, world Health day, World Child Day ect
 We will sponsor some health related campaigns.

Marketing Research:
During the initial phase of the marketing plan development, several focus groups were held to gain insight into prospective customers. These focus groups provided helpful insight into the decision making processes.
An additional source of dynamic market research is a feedback mechanism based on a suggestion card system. The suggestion card has several statements that customers are asked to rate in terms of a given scale.
There are also several open ended questions that allow the customer to freely offer constructive criticism or praise.
The “pineapple juice” will work hard to implement reasonable suggestions in order to improve their service offerings, as well as show its commitment to the customer that their suggestions are valued.

Financial Forecasts:
For the first few years it would be very hard for us to perform marketing activities because, our targeted consumers are not aware about our product or our brand. So for the first few years we have to spend a lot for the marketing activities of our product. For the first 3 years for marketing and promotional activities we plan to expense 1500000 taka.
The distribution of the total sum of money of different Medias of advertising is given bellow:  Television 700000
 Radio 400000
 Internet 200000
 Billboards 200000

Conclusion A marketing plan is a plan which outlines a company's overall marketing efforts and

marketing plan may be a part of an overall business plan. Building a new brand or product needs huge promotional activities. To introduce a completely new product or brand it needs effective and future oriented sequential steps. In case of this plan all the necessary steps has been outlined in a systematic manner. The things shown are designed in such a way that is able to grab the attention of the present customers of other products.
