ABSTRACT
Getmethis.com is a delivery service provider, which will be the
only delivery service to be working 24/7 in the metropolitan city.
The main function of Getmethis.com is to make available
everything at your doorstep. Be it grocery, clothes from your dry
cleaner or cinema tickets for the latest movie, Getmethis.com will
run your errands and do your shopping for you.
The postal and delivery service industry has a lot of potential in
Pakistan and has expanded a lot over time. It has now come to
the point where even a housewife is using leopards services for
her small home based business. The market is in growing stage
with having many service providers in the industry, Pakistan
postal service is still a very cheap alternative but people do not
trust its services with their belongings.
Getmethis.com will be competing against giants like tcs, leopard,
homeshopping, and other local competitors like delivery chacha.
It will be hard to penetrate the market and to turn tcs's loyal
customers towards getmethis.com but the brand has alot of
potential against delivery chacha and other small competitors.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Getmethis is to be launched as a delivery service which deals in
delivering everything from an egg to an IC chip for a science
project to your door step. People will also be able to buy their
favorite stuff from online portals like ebay and amazon through
this service. Getmethis will basically be buying things on their
behalf and delivering it to them. Through Getmethis.com,
customers will also be able to make pre orders for things not yet
launched in the market like the latest iphone 6s or an upcoming
eid collection by their favorite designer, even tickets to their
favorite movie that is still in line to be screened at the cinema.
This is a young brand so the overall communication strategy is
planned to be fun and catchy. The message we deliver anything
and everything will be communicated clearly through
advertising.
Getmethis.com will be directly competing against Homeshopping
and Deliverychacha. TCS, Fedex and leopard will be considered
as indirect competitors.
Getmethis.coms communication strategy is inspired by my own
life and my daily interactions with other people. I want to choose
this service as my thesis project because I wanted to do
something challenging. Something different. I want people to
think. I want to disturb people. I want to drag them out of their
comfort zone, out of their bubbles, their point of views. There are
many things that we are unable to do due to limited resources
and our limited mental capacities. We need more of these brands
to help us get closer to the outer world and we all need to look at
things differently every once in a while.
The main function of Getmethis.com is to make available
everything at your doorstep. Be it grocery, clothes from your dry
cleaner or cinema tickets for the latest movie, Getmethis.com will
run your errands and do your shopping for you.
Getmethis.com will also act like a middle man which will make
things like clothing, jewelry, books, electronics, mobile phones
etc and everything else you can imagine from all over the world
available to the local Pakistani audience.
Through Getmethis.com people will also have the facility to send
cards, cakes and selected gifts and sentiments from the website
to their loved ones within the country.

Federal services
The government of Pakistan has collaborated with Pakistan
post to offer different federal services to the customers. For
instance:
Initially, Pakistan post has started its operations with the basic
postal services. With the passage of time, the organization has
included other services such as special and federal services to
expand its product/service range. Today, Pakistan post covers
delivery of mail and parcels to different regions, as well as
manages special and federal services to facilitate its customers.

bills for the customers gives them the option to get the movie
tickets at home instead of going out to get them. The services

also help the customers in driving their vehicles in case of a
difficult situation. The main focus of the service is on bringing
ease and convenience to the customers from a trustworthy

A quantitative research was conducted. Simple Random
Sampling was done while selecting the responders. The
sample size was of 45 people with 58 % female respondents
and the rest male. Aging between 21-30. Because
Getmethis.com is a young brand it caters the younger
audience. That is why it was made sure to interview these
candidates precisely.

5.2 Segmentation
The segmentation of Getmethis.com is based on geographic and
demographics precisely. As the idea is still not that developed as
it should have been, considering the already existing strong
competitions, Getmethis.com aims towards targeting Sec A and
B heavily. Leaving lesser space for the competition to spread
itself. Getmethis.com also focuses on making people aware of the
service that exists in the market already by its clear and catchy
advertising communication. People who have been using delivery
chacha, tcs and other delivery services and are unhappy because
of their orders being misplaced, orders not being delivered on the
time promised and other bad experiences, getmethis.com will
closely look into their needs and address their problems.
Getmethis.com does not believe in the old trends of mass
marketing thus it will focus on selecting its target audience based
on their lifestyle and preferences. As a brand getmethis.com
understands that one can no longer consider every customer the
same. People vary and their needs do too. The segmentation
carried out to select the target audience is as follows:
