INTRODUCTION

Marketing Mix: Product, Price, Place and PromotionThe marketing mix principles (also known as the 4 ps.) are used by business as tools to assist them in pursuing their objectives. The marketing mix principles are controllable variables, which have to be carefully managed and must meet the needs of the defined target group. The marketing mix is apart of the organizations planning process and consists of analyzing the defined: y Product strategies.

How will you design, package and add value to the

product. When an organization introduces a product into a market they must ask themselves anumber of questions. 1. Who is the product aimed at? 2. What benefit will customers expect? 3. How does the firm plan to position the product within the market? 4. What differential advantage will the product offer over their competitors?

y

Price strategies What pricing strategy is appropriate to use. Pricing is one of the most important elements of the marketing mix, as it is the only mix, which generates a turnover for the organization. The remaining 3ps are the variable cost for the organization.

y

Place strategies. Where will the firm locate? This refers to how an organization will distribute the product or service they are offering to the end user. The organization must distribute the product to the user at the right place at the right time.

y

Promotion strategies. How will the firm promote its product? A successful product or service means nothing unless the benefit of such a service can be communicated clearly to the target market.

The Marketing "Mix" The 4 Ps are marketing "mix".You control the 4Ps. They are your "independent" variables. The dependent variable is sales volume. This is the output that you get by defining the inputs - i.e. the 4 P's. How do you choose this mix? That is the challenge! There are various tools that might be helpful in this regard. For example, the "Product Space Map" lets you plot your product's price vs performance against others in the market. You can then decide how you want to position yourself with respect to your competitors while at the same time keeping in mind your corporate objectives. Summary In conclusion, the important points to remember about the four P's of marketing are:y y y y y y

4 Ps are interdependent (each depends on the others) 4 Ps constitute your "Marketing Strategy" You control these (independent variables) Product is only one "P" Sales volume is the dependent variable You must "own" your market (define it so you can lead it)

Media vehicle In terms of TV ad our media vehicle will be Channel I and NTV. Initially we decided to give ad in BTV but considering our budget and market competition we decided to give ad in NTV and Channel I first.

Money: Here we will determine how much we are going to spend for our TV commercial, which means we have to prepare a budget for our TV commercial. For preparing the budget we have to consider the following things.

Promotion mix 1. Television advertisement: As our target consumers are urban women in this case, uses of television for advertise will be very effective. That means television has high reach media for this particular product and TV is the most common and effective way of communication. Though it is expensive, it is very effective. If a TV ad can be prepared properly then it can play a vital role to increase the popularity of the product. For television ad it is very important to choose the right time to deliver the advertisement. Usually women watch television at night 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm, when Bengali drama goes on and that is right time to show the advertisement of RADHUNI . Because at this time women watch drama and they are very fond of drama. Trough this, it will be very easy for us to reach our potential buyers. That s why we rank it first

Advertising Frequency: Advertising frequency means the number of repetitions needed to put across the brand s message to customers. However, it has an important impact on the advertising budget. Our target market is the people of middle class and upper middle classes those who belong to the urban and sub urban areas. To grab the attention of this target market the ad will be displayed on the most popular TV channels of the country, like on the Ntv and onChannel i. People of the middle class to upper middle class families are the regular viewers of any of these channels. So we want to display our ad for six times a week for a month in any of the mentioned channels, then we will be able to reach our target market. That is, the viewers of any of these channels are getting knowledge about the product for 24 times a month

Media: After choosing the message, the next task is to choose media to carry it. The steps here are deciding a desired reach, frequency and impact. As our target consumers are urban women in this case, using of television for advertisement will be very effective. That means television has high reach media. for this particular brand and TV is the most common and effective way of communication. Though it is expensive, it is very effective.

Script

At the opening we have taken a long shot to get the view of the location of the action nicely. We showed that a middle age woman who is a housewife is cooking food in a beautiful kitchen.

In the second shot a voice will ask a question to the woman, the question is The spice powder mix that you are using is hygienic and pure? Then in the next shot the woman will say that No, I do not know. I have not thought about it . Here the woman is confused.

At the fourth shot the voice will again ask a question. The question is Does the spice mix that you are using make your food tasty .

In the reply the woman will say that No not that much I have to put a little lot of spice.

After that, the voice will again ask her Do you know using of too much spice is harmful for health, it can cause ulcer or many other food related diseases . Then the woman will say Then? Here the woman is again confused.

Then the voice will say use Radhuni spice powder it is healthy, it will make your food tasty and it takes a very little amount to cook food

At the last shot we will show that the woman is cooking food with Radhuni spice powder andnow the she is happy.

AUDIO There is constant background music from the beginning till the end of the commercial.

2. Sales promotion:promotion is crucial in attracting consumer. It can be of directly or via the intermediaries. Sales promotion is important to increase the sales. It is important to give incentives to intermediaries to make them satisfied. Otherwise they will switch the brand. RADHUNI is giving retailers and wholesalers various type of sales promotion like They give various types of incentives

3. Billboard advertisement:In the big cities, billboard ads are also very effective media. Women always roam around the city for shopping. So it will be also very effective media to send our massages to the potential buyers. For billboards it is very important to choose the place of billboard. In the case of selecting a location for billboard ads we should choose those locations where a woman goes usually. It can be near to the market places. In this way we can build awareness in our target consumer s mind. Billboard can be effective for this particular situation. That s why we rank it third.

4. Newspaper advertisement:As our targeted consumers are service holder women. So to position our product, we should give advertisement on newspaper also. Here newspaper advertisement can be effective for those women who has a job or busy with own business. Because these women read newspaper more than the typical house wife and every morning they must read newspaper. On the other hand some house wives also read women related pages in newspaper like recipes for cooks, fashion pages etc. So it will be also helpful to send massage through newspaper to our target consumers. That s why we rank it forth. Moreover to promote RADHUNI we can arrange some sort of TV programs, where someone will teach different type of cooking with the RADHUNI powdered spice. We can also organize cooking contest to build awareness.

ACI Pure: ACI pure has a strong market in urban area comparing to the village market. They also have all types of media advertisement

Suggestions1- Square consumer product is relatively high price in the market but competitors have low price. So they cant be the market leader. They should reduce the price to get large market or make their target market larger. 2- Square consumers major concern is urban people but in our country large number of people lives in village. So company should also have concern about the rural area.

3- Company should have differentiation in their product. Which make a image in customer mind. 4- Company has to provide good quality product to satisfy their customer and make a wide range of verity.

5- In the section of distribution our company is not that much strong like PRAN and PARTEX. So distribution channel should be increase to reach at the last corner of our country. By this sells will be increase. 6- Promotional activities should have cover all the section like newspaper, sponsorship, TV advertisement ,billboard etc covering all areas of people.

7- Create and maintain a good relationship with customer. And found a easy way for getting feedback of customer. 8- Should have strong and reliable relation with suppliers that raw materials will not affect the product price suddenly.

9- Company can forward their business in exporting their product out of the borderline.

10- Marketing strategies should be advance. Because they skip some of the portion which is important for them to be the market leader.
