EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this project is to study that how a particular organization, selected by group
members, does its marketing. This project shows that what marketing is all about.
Khaadi first opened its doors in 1998 in Karachi, Pakistan offering customers kurtas and loose fabric
made from hand-woven fabric. Shamoon Sultan, the chairman and founder, had the intent of
reviving the ancient craft of the handloom and popularizing the traditional medium in a
contemporary manner. Khaadi, which means “hand-woven”, has stayed true to its name and
continues to produce a fusion of styles to complement both the east and west, while still using hand-
woven fabrics on select products.

PEST ANALYSIS
PEST is an acronym for political, economic, social and technological. A PEST Analysis looks at how external
factors can affect a business’s activities and performance.
Page 22
POLITICAL FACTORS are basically to what degree the government intervenes in the
economy. Specifically, political factors include areas such as tax policy, labor law, environmental law, trade
restrictions, tariffs, and political stability. Political factors may include goods and services which
government wants to provide or be provided (merit goods) and those that the government does not want to
be provided (demerit goods or merit bads). Furthermore, government has great influence on the health,
education, and infrastructure of a nation.
ECONOMIC FACTORS include economic growth, interest have major, exchange rates and the
inflation rate. These factors have major impacts on how businesses operate and make decisions. For example
Exchange rates affect the costs of exporting goods and the supply and price of imported goods in an
economy.
SOCIAL FACTORS include the cultural aspects and include health consciousness, age
distribution, population growth rate, career attitudes and emphasis on safety. Trends in social factors affect
the demand for a company’s products and how that company operates. For Example, an aging population
may imply a smaller and less-willing workforce (thus increasing the cost of labor). Furthermore, companies
may change various management strategies to adapt to these social trends (such as recruiting older workers).
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS include technological aspects such as R&D activity,
automation, technology incentives and the rate of technology change. They can determine barriers to entry,
minimum efficient production level and influence outsourcing decision. Furthermore, technological shifts
can affect costs, quality, and lead to innovation.

CUSTOMER VALUE CHAIN
Customer value chain analysis involves breaking down every step that contributes towards the end
satisfaction of the customer. A company can use such analysis to identify all the incidences when its
activities contribute towards this satisfaction. He Company can then improve its position in two ways:
improving existing incidences when it could play a contributory role. For example, a manufacturer could
takeover either a raw material supplier or distributor in order to extend its presence in the value chain. It
could also refine its manufacturing process to improve the quality of the goods.
Page 26
COMPETITORS AND COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES:

common need.

DIRECT COMPETITION:

Zambeel
Other designers have also come up with similar concepts of handloom for example; Zambeel has its own hand
woven fabric line. More and more people are coming up with such ventures but this is only more favorable to
Khaadi as people notice the difference in value, superiority and excellence we are offering .Hence people come
back to Khaadi for more. An example like this is Zambeel which is a similar concept and the outlet is also located
near khaadi’s outlet at Zamzama; but there is no comparison between the sales of two.
The procedure of waving is very time consuming, which also includes a great deal ofprecision and
detail especially with natural fibers. Khaadi not only revived the handloom business and redefined Khaddar but is
also started off Naqshi; the technique which is revived from the Mughal era. Fabric of Naqshi is pure silk; either
soft organza silk depending upon the yarn being used

Local, cheap priced products by unknown manufactures
Variation, uniqueness and inimitability are the factors that form the essence of Khaadi. These days the
local markets are flooded with low quality and cheap priced Khaadi’s joras. These are the machine made, low
quality look-a-likes sold to people, deceiving them as these are neither handmade, nor do they provide variations in
designs.
Khaadi is planning that it was very important to have separate outlets for his products and that the working
area must be clearly defined. We want to bring all the weavers into work at one central location. Everybody who is
in the business is mostly operating out their own homes and designers and weavers also prefer to stick to their own
shops.

Marketing Mix
The marketing mix is a business tool used in marketing and by marketing professionals. The marketing mix is
often crucial when determining a product or brand’s offer and is often synonymous with the:
FOUR PS:
Product
Price
Promotion
Place
Page 34
DIFFERENTIATION AND POSITIONING
After a company has decided which market segment to enter, it must decide what positions it wants to occupy in
those segments. A product’s position is the place that the product occupies in consumer’s minds relative to its
competitors.
Page 35
Engage into more selling and promotional activities such as seasonal sales, discounts, advertising through billboard
and television etc. It can also seek a deal with a marketing agency so that our promotion and campaigns are taken
care of. We also hold fashion shows in order to promote more the Khaadi’s products and that would be to catch
more attention.
The company has a close look out for the new entrants in this market. To compete with them has to keep on
improvisation with time.
Dealing with the competition is based upon customer value analyses rather than choosing the weakness of
competitors and attacking them there. Since the scope is limited, a point may arise where there is nowhere else to
attack the competitor. In customer value analyses the major strength and weakness of the company revealed. In this
sort of analysis the company finds out about Major attribute of the customer value. Assess the quantitative
importance of the different attributes. Asses the company’s and competitor’s performance on the customer value
against their rated importance. Examine how customers in a specific segment rate the company’s performance
against the competitor.
DEFENCE STRATEGY
Page 36
The defense strategy of Khaadi is that of positioning. we are going to position ourselves in a way that provides us
with superior as well as unique outlook in the consumer’s mind. The flakes used by Khaadi complements its
positioning strategy as the center of attention is their unstitched material along with stitched kurti’s for both the
genders. In spite of the fact that Zambeel has a significant market share ,it applies flanks such as accessories
pertaining to women wear like sandals and purses, home- textile items such as bed-linens, table mats, floor mats
and other items albums, folders and note-book.

instruments of marketing mix and to contribute to sales increase on the long term.The promotion mix always serves
a specific goal .This goals can be public informing, demand increasing or sales stabilizing .The promotion mix

Page 98
BETTER QUALITY
"We started getting feedback from day one. We were stocked out in two weeks and we had to shut down the
store." (Shamoon Sultan. CEO of khaadi)
I think the quality of fabric is probably the same across the board for the major brands. As a company we never
compromise on quality to cut costs but because we are not a 100% integrated unit, there are certain restrictions. But
we have created a lab to test every fabric for colour fastness, tearing, etc., before using it and we are enhancing it
every year.
I want to have the best lab in Pakistan and we will be spending even more on that this year so that quality control
can become even better. We want to create an in-house quality assurance system that can be challenged anywhere
in the world. The real difference right now is our pricing strategy, the retail experience that we give and our design.
We also have some phenomenal human resources with us. I want to make Khaadi a multinational out of Pakistan
and I want to put in all the systems that any multinational would have – and it has to be run professionally. I think
we are going in the right direction and in a year or two we will be a retail company run completely by
professionals.

SETTING ADVERTISING BUDGET
After determining its advertising objectives, the marketer must set the advertising budget for each product and
market. How does accompany know if it is spending the right amount? Some important factor that should be
considered when setting the advertising budget are
Khaadi’s
Khaadi’s company sets the budget in that way, when they
langue a new product they need a large advertising budget. When
there is a competition then more advertising budget as compare to
simple. When a brand closely resembles other brands in its product
class, more advertising and therefore budget is needed.
Page 101
DEVELOPING ADVERTISING STRATEGY
Advertising strategy consist of two major elements
MESSAGE STRATEGY
The first step in creating effective advertising messages is to decide what general message will be communicated
to consumers –to plan a message strategy. People will react only if they believe that they will benefit from doing
so. Thus, developing message strategy begins with identifying customer benefits that can be used as advertising
appeals.
Page 102
Khaadi
Khaadi makes effective message to attract their customer, they create advertising appeals in that way that messages
will be distinctive and memorable. They develop a creative concept in order to make their message unique. The
creative concept may emerge as visualization, a phrase or a combination of two.
But what sales are cause by an ad that increases brand awareness by 20% and brand preference by 10%? The sales
effect of advertising are often harder to measure than communication effects. Sales are affected by many factors
besides advertising –such as product features, price and availability.
Page 103
SALE PROMOTION
Sale promotion is any initiative undertaken by an organization to promote an increase in sales, usage or trial
of a product or service. It describes promotional methods using
special short-term techniques to persuade members of a target
market to respond or undertake certain activity. As a reward,
marketers offer something of value to those responding generally
in the form of lower cost of ownership for a purchased product or
the inclusion of additional value-added material.

usually used to attract new customers. This tool can be used to increase sale in off-seasons that normally doesn’t
occur. Khaadi frequently adheres to this tool. There are seasonal sales to attract more and more and more
customers.

TRADE PROMOTION
Trade promotion is a marketing campaign directed at wholesalers or retailers rather than at final
consumers .In a trade promotion, wholesalers and retailers are offered special price discounts, subsidized
or free display racks, or stands, gifts, or other incentives. So that may help to push their products
towards customers.

customers, and motivate sale people. It includes many of the same tools used in consumer and trade
promotions.
Programs and events are organized by companies to promote their products and sales. This helps all
the channel members to interact with each other which benefit the company a lot.

It is the delivery of a specially designed message to a consumer by a seller, usually in the form of
face-to-face communication, personal correspondence of a personal telephone conversation. Unlike
advertising a personal sales message can be more specifically together to individual prospects and
easily altered .Two other forms or personal selling that are not used with high-end products are door-
to-door selling and home demonstration parties. These care products, food, and other items of
special interest to homemakers.
Khaadi:
Khaadi doesn’t adopt the strategy of personnel selling. Because it is a retail network and it is easy
for them to demonstrate and promote their products in their outlets. If customer need any type of
information regarding a product, their sale force is available to help them at the outlets.

DIRECT MARKETING
DIRECT MAIL MARKETING:
Direct mail marketing involves sending an offer announcement, reminder or other item to a person at a particular
address.
Khaadi
At the moment khaadi is not adopting this avenue of direct marketing as they have a huge clientele and would be
difficult for them to start using this medium of marketing. At the moment, one of their weaknesses is maintaini8ng
a database of their customer. We suggest that they should start to maintain a computerized database of their
existing clientele and their future customers as data is one of the most vital ingredients of any form of marketing
campaign.
CATALOG MARKETING
Catalog marketing is a sales technique used by businesses to group many items together in a printed piece or an
online store, hoping to sell at least one item to the recipient. Consumers buy directly from the catalog sender by
phone, return envelope or online using information in the catalog. Some catalog marketers act as intermediaries
between consumers and manufacturers, while businesses with more than a few items create their own catalogs.
Page 111
PRINT CATALOGS
A print catalog usually consists of a cover that announces what type of items the piece contains, followed by the
items. Some catalogs feature a single product category, such as clothing, while others include a diverse collection
of goods. The catalogs contain photos and descriptions of the items, as well as prices and ordering information.
Some come with order forms and return envelopes with prepaid postage. Others require shoppers to order by
phone. Catalog marketers use targeted mailing lists to increase sales and decrease the printing and mailing costs
associated with waste circulation. Some print catalogs are included with items shipped to online buyers to generate
additional sales.
ONLINE CATALOGS
To save on the cost of printing and mailing and to allow retailers to update prices, products and promotions more
quickly, some business put their products in an online catalog. The products are grouped and displayed in a similar
fashion to a print catalog, but consumers can sort items by price, category, manufacturer or other criteria. These
catalogs allow shoppers to purchase immediately, using a virtual shopping cart and an electronic payment method.
ONLINE MARKETING
Internet marketing, or online marketing, refers to advertising and marketing efforts that use the Web and email to
drive direct sales via electronic commerce, in addition to sales leads from sites or emails. Internet marketing and
Page 112
online advertising efforts are typically used in conjunction with traditional types of
advertising like radio, television, newspapers and magazines.
Khaadi
Due to the brand having such an extensive clientele this form of direct marketing
would be difficult for them and often customers are not comfortable getting calls from
such brands. We would suggest them to adopt the medium of sms marketing.
TELEPHONE MARKETING
KHAADI uses telephone marketing to communicate with their customers. Any firm that sells
direct usually handles enquiries, gives quotes and takes orders over the phone. Small firms
that target business customers can use the telephone to call sales leads, give quotes and
arrange appointments
ONLINE MARKETING
Online marketing is when a company effort to market products and services and build customer relationship over
the internet. Online marketing is the fastest growing form of direct marketing. Recent technological advances have
created a digital age. Widespread use of internet and other powerful new technologies are having a dramatic effect
on both buyer and marketer who serve them.

Much of world business today is carried out over digital networks that connect people and companies. Internet a
vast public web of computer networks connect users of all type around the world to each other and to on amazingly
large information repository. Worldwide, some 750 million people now have internet access. The web has
fundamentally has changes customer’s notion of convenience, speed, price product information and service. The
amazing success of early click only companies – the so called dot-Com such as amazon.com , eBay, Expedia and
hundred others - caused existing brick -and – mortar manufacturers and retailers to reexamine how they served
their market. Now almost all the traditional companies have set up their own online sales and communication
channels, becoming click – and – mortar companies. It’s hard to find a company today that does not have a
substantial Web Presence.
Khaadi
Due to brand having such an extensive clientele this form of direct marketing would be difficult for them and often
customers are not comfortable getting calls from such brands. We would suggest them to adopt the medium of
SMS marketing.

As the internet grew, established brick and mortar companies realized that, to
compete with online competitors they had to go online themselves. Thus many
brick and mortar companies are now prospering as click and mortar companies.
Khaadi
Khaadi is a click and mortar company example, khaadi launched its online
presence by launching their website.
WEBSITES
For most companies the first step in conducting online marketing is to create a website. However, beyond simply
creating a website, marketer must design an attractive site and find ways to get consumers to visit the websites stay
and come back often.
Corporate website
A website design to build customer goodwill and to supplement other sales channels; rather than to sell company’s
products directly.

Khaadi
Khaadi launched their web presence by coming up their website. The gave it a corporate and colorful touch, also
showing their product line.

Websites upon which members can congregate online and exchange views on issue of
common interest. The big four web communities are comprised of Facebook, twitter,
LinkedIn and YouTube the key advantage of this medium is that users and consumer
can give valuable feedback to the brand. The brand has the ability to talk to its target
audience.
Khaadi Feedback
Khaadi has established a web community, their Facebook page by the name of
“khaadi”. They have a very big population on their page more than 600000 fans
Page 116
which make any content they disseminate go viral. The page is actively monitored and their product range is
displayed in form of images to the consumers. However the page lacks good applications
SUMM
ARY
THE GOODS: Intricate designs and skillfully embroidered fabrics are what you would get at khaadi. Add to it
an array of colors and hint of modern design and you have the perfect attire for all occasions.
THE BAD: The price range makes it difficult for everyone to shop at khaadi and
therefore, it caters to only a certain class of people who can afford to spend thousands of
rupees.
Page 117
THE BOTTOM LINE: Khaadi is not just a store for hand woven fabrics but a stepping stone in the revival
of our long lost traditions. Prices might be a bit high but what khaadi has to offer is unique and exclusive.
Therefore in my point of view it’s ok to pamper yourself every now and then by shopping at khaadi because it’s
only place where you will find a fusion of tradition and modernism.
