As a result we intend toimplement a wide and aggressive marketing strategy.It should be appreciated that entering such a market is nota bed of roses, particularly considering its infancy andhence the intention will be to implement an aggressivemarketing strategy, well supported by the other businessfunctions.

Market Needs

The current demand of various organizations is to seek fortechnological enabled user friendly products that make workof company or organization much effective and efficient.Market needs has to be analyzed with the period of time asbecause with the dynamic nature of technology we must try tocope with changing technology for sustaining and growth.

Competition and Buying PatternsThe key element in purchase or subscription decisions madeat the company's client level is trust in the professionalreputation and reliability of the firm. The very nature ofour services dictates that occasionally the pricing of ourprojects and billing rates will be variable, as differentclients require different needs to be fulfilled in variableindustry environments.

Page 11: Chapter 1: Background

In our line of business clients rarely compare serviceproviders directly, looking for two, or more, possibleproviders of a proposed project or job. Usually they followword-of-mouth recommendations and either go for the job ornot, rather than selecting from a menu of possibleproviders. The most important element of general competition, by far,is what it takes to keep clients for repeat business. It isworth making concessions in any single service to maintain aclient relationship that brings the client back for futureservices -- realizing customer-lifetime value.

Competitive comparison

Since Webport is an idea of young and energetic team with a core value of providing differentiated and user friendly products. According to market research made on products and services of various competitors company with the cost, we have found that our company’s product is highly diversified,user friendly, low costly and highly reliable. Similarly, our product can fit into any organisation ranging from smallto larger. This sorts of uniqueness will definitely create an edge over other competitors.

Anticipated demand –

o Web Solutions: Website: 3 new websites each month Facebook: 1 Applications each month

o Software Addition of work on the ongoing projects Add 1 new client each month

o Network Solutions Add 5small clients every month Add 1 Medium sized client

Page 12: Chapter 1: Background

Sourcing

Our company manufactures or develops systems in our company but our long term plan is to in source from foreign companies to target large organizations in Nepal. Our onshore and offshore model of working with freelancer will also help to satisfy our clients.

Distribution PatternSince product and services are developed in our own companyso as soon as we get ordered from our clients viasalesperson, third party, clients or else, our MIS willautomatically inform our marketing team and finally they goand bring configuration of client’s desired system. Ifclient want to meet technological team then they will besend to clients and makes clear about the matter. Similarly,after the system is developed then our team will visit toclient and install the applications and make observationover time period with giving training about handling thesystem

Marketing strategy – Website:

o Build Content Management Systems for various sectors like, travel agencies, Jewelry shops, Schools, Restaurants, Products based CMS, Service Based CMS.

o Build templates so that the customer can choose the design he/she likes

o Based on the cost and functionality requirement provide them the website.

Why this works:o This strategy should work because once the

development on the CMS is done we can reuse it forall the new customers we make, thus driving the cost of production to decrease.

Page 13: Chapter 1: Background

o The production time for each individual website decreases.

o Ability to choose from various designs and functionality help the customers to make the decision on what they want quickly.

o Ability to explain that each additional functionality cost extra money.

Facebook (Social Media)o Develop applications based on the marketing

campaigns of the clientso Develop a facebook management consoleo Develop Applications which can be used by various

clientsWhy this works

o Clients want interaction with their customers, thus the ability to come up with an application which suits their marketing strategy is just what they want right now.

o Many organization big and small have opened facebook pages but are not able to manage their pages properly due to lack of knowledge and time. Thus facebook management console provides a summary of the activities taken place, it providesthe ability to reply and track the interactions.

o Many clients want to do the same things, for example photo contest, we develop an application for photo contest which can be used by many clients. This reduces cost for the client comparedto making an application for themselves only.

Software:

Build our own products:

Why this works:o Customized software can only be afforded by big

corporate houses

Page 14: Chapter 1: Background

o The foreign software’s are very expensive, during installation and maintenance

o Lots of complaints regarding the quality of service provided by local software companies

o We already have 3-4 customized software which can be developed into readymade software.

o Ability to convert these software’s will ableus to sell those to the customers at a reasonable cost

o Having an inhouse support team (network team)enables us to provide quick and effective support.

Networking:

Provide complete solutions:

Why this works:Corporate houses do not have an IT department which has knowledge on web services, software and computer networking. Thus it is wise for them to outsource the IT department to us who provides all the services. Doing so is cost effective for the client.

Build Specific Solutions:Why this works:

Clients are reluctant to spend on the maintenance services regularly, they have a tendency to spend only when there is a problem.

They don’t understand that formatting the computer is the solution.

Thus, our products will cater to all the specifics needs that they have like:

one time visit services one a month visit services Email services Basic: Virus cleaning solutions, software update,

files backup. Etc

Page 15: Chapter 1: Background

Choosing from the specific packages helps the customer lower the cost and still get the service they want. It will also help us make them understand that have a regular maintenance service increases the productivity and efficiency of the company.

Economical, Social and Legal environment has to be analyzed

Page 29: Chapter 1: Background

and considered strictly for ensuring smooth operation of

business. Therefore, SWOT analysis is done below to

understand market.

A new, innovative product or service. Location of Business. Quality processes and procedures. Other aspect of our business that adds value to our

product or services. Qualitative and Diversifies product in reasonable cost Strong and qualified team members

Weaknesses:

Lack of marketing expertise. Lack of qualified manpower. Undifferentiated products or services (i.e. in relation

to our competitors). Highly depends upon the advertisement. Employee turnover rate would be problematic situation

for company.

Opportunities:

A developing market such as the Internet and e-commerce Moving into new market segments that offer improved

profits. People getting lots of information about IT and its

uses. Trends on advertising on portal sites by service

seekers. Market Penetration strategy would give a Competitive

edge to the Company.

Page 30: Chapter 1: Background

Foreign country in sourcing our local made Software andApplications.

Threats:

The biggest threat for all web-based organization iscompetition. Huge profits attract investors, innovatorsand entrepreneurs.

Price wars with competitors. Competitors have superior access to channels of

distribution. Established huge competitors.

Strategies to counteract these threats converting intoopportunities:

Customer support services and Customer interactionservices has to be done in order to give propercustomer care.

Telemarketing and online marketing has to be carriedout by the Marketing department for further promotionof company

Has to give more emphasis on customer relationshipmanagement as customer retention strategy is lesscostly and effective than to acquire new customer

Company has to apply for national tenders in short runwhile international in long run.

Effective and result oriented marketing team has to bemobilized

Personal relationship is the easiest and resultoriented task so it has to be given more emphasis

Page 31: Chapter 1: Background

Since company is in initial phase therefore marketpenetration strategy is very important to enter intothe competitive environment. In short run, Cost of theproducts has to be less than competitors.

Even with market penetration strategy, company shouldconsider customer satisfaction with excellent serviceand quality.

Chapter 6: Financial Planning

We want to finance growth mainly through cash flow. Werecognize that this means we will have to grow more slowlythan we might like.The most important factor in our case is collection days. Wecan't give credits to our clients hard on collection days,because allowing credit would create problem on operation onnewly opened company like ours so we don’t follow system ofreceivables financing. The revenue Source for the company isthrough Web page designing and Software development andnetwork management in the initial stage. Compatibility inthis regard means:

A fundamental respect for giving our customers value,and for maintaining a healthy and congenial workplace.

Respect for realistic forecasts, and conservative cashflow and financial management.

Cash flow as first priority, growth second, profitsthird.

Willingness to follow the project objectives andcontribute valuable input to strategy andimplementation decisions.

With sufficient working capital the forecasted revenues andsales should be within the forecasted market demands for thecompany's services. From the second yearly time, the various

Page 32: Chapter 1: Background

divisions should be able to bring in adequate salesrevenues. 7.1 Important AssumptionsThe financial plan depends on important assumptions. Fromthe beginning, we recognize that getting order for webpagedesigning, software development and network management arecritical, but we will overcome the situation easily. Atleast we can have better planning on the problem and dealingwith it. Some of the more important underlying assumptions are:

No system of Account Receivables Sales increasing with …% each period Growth and profit simultaneously No loss at initial period of time Diversifying on investment on different product lines Continuous Cash flow Scenario for better rate of return We assume a healthy economy, without major Political

setbacks. Reliable and cost effective services Relationship management
