Introduction
Bangladesh is a country with an immense population and far too limited resources, where
average people struggle each day to live from hand to mouth. In Bangladesh, most people do not
get enough educational facilities to make themselves aware enough of the necessities in life,
especially diet. People are so reluctant about their daily nutrient needs that it never occurs to
them that they are missing something vital. As a result lower class people starting from children

to grown adults suffer from malnutrition their whole life. Moreover, they do not have sufficient
resources to make or buy the necessary nourishments for themselves. Population has made the
situation even worse. In most cases, a grown man with a minimal wage has to fend for a family
of perhaps five or six, with himself being the only bread earner. Therefore, he may only
concentrate on fulfilling the very basic needs and still fall short. There is no current efficient
solution to this major problem of the country. It would have been a possibility to educate these
deprived people of the importance of certain elements in their diet, but it may still result in
ignorance. People of this country have a high context culture, meaning they value emotions and
tradition more that rational understanding. Keeping this concept in mind, a marketing plan for a
probable solution to the diet problem has been designed.
Bangladesh is a country with an area of 147,570 square kilometers and an estimated population
of a staggering 150,039,000 (March, 2013). Doing the math, it comes to almost 1,033.5 people in
every square kilometer – a lot of people in a very little space. Of this huge population around
31% people are under the poverty line. Poverty in turn affects people’s purchase power and one
of the side effects is diet. Malnutrition is a major concern in Bangladesh, especially for children.
World Bank rated Bangladesh 1st in the world of the number of malnourished children. 26% of
the total population and 41% of children of the country are deprived of the nourishment they
deserve.Rural women suffer from malnutrition, especially during pregnancy. To address this
major problem a product has been designed. It is a nutritious, refreshing and tasty health drink
that will satisfy the need of nourishment and revitalizing the physically weak.
While keeping in mind the problem of nutrition deprivation, energy replenishing has also been
taken into account while designing this product. Bangladesh being a country of hot, humid
climate, people sweat a lot while working, which in turn makes them lose precious energy and
vital electrolytes that keep the body stable. The product also addresses that aspect of refilling the
tired body with the lost essential minerals and energy.

So, at the same time the health drink not only provide vital sustenance for the malnourished, but
also refresh tired people in need of something to replenish their energy. Served cold, this drink
will also act as a treat in a hot sunny day. It would also taste good, in contrast to most energy
drinks, making sure that children accept this product in full consent. Currently in Bangladesh
such a product, serving all three needs together, is absent. Thus the launch of this product would
naturally take the market by surprise and if marketed well, would surpass sales expectations. The
product will be targeted towards people of all demography – not certain to any particular age or
other aspects. Thus, the population serves as a potential market.
Marketing Strategy
The current market has very few products like this which has a social objective that aims at decreasing
malnutrition. Thus, there is very less competition. The market is segmented to suit the social objective of
decreasing or eradicating malnutrition.
Market Segmentation
The entire population of the country will be served by this product. However we have made a
segmentation of the customer .
Geographic: We will cover the entire Bangladesh but we will focus on the divisions and districts
Demographic:
Age:15-40
Nationality: Bangladeshi

Pricing Strategy
The product is new in market and the main target market is young generation. So the price
should be reasonable so that people from every class can afford it.And also it’s a low
involvement product so the price of that drink is reasonable. We have made a servey question t
know about our customers thoughts and demands .According to our servey we have made a price
list .There are 3 different size with 3 ranges. The chart is given below:
Seasonal discounts may be provided during festivals and winter as adjustment pricing strategies.

The raw-materials supplier will supply the ingredients required to make the drink only to the
Dhaka region plant while the packaging and labeling materials supplier will supply the materials
to all the five regional plants.

widely throughout the country. To make the product readily available to people in the rural areas
as well as the urban, a strong distributing intermediary team in needed. It will consist of
wholesalers and retailers. The wholesalers will buy the finished product from the different plants
at the estimated trade price and keeping their profit will sell it to retailers in urban and rural

maximum market share. The rental cost of some contents what we are using to produce the product is
too high. As a new brand we have a no relationship with the customers. We are producing health drinks,
but there are some other products named energy drinks. They are not exactly the same product like
preno, but some similar of it. Preno will producing in Bangladesh. So it’s a product made in Bangladesh.
There are some health drinks in overseas market. If they enter into our country, our sales could be
decreased for the personal attractions of the people towards the foreign products. If the government
increase the sales tax on this kind of products. We can’t provide the product to the rural poor people in
a lower price.
We have to promote our product very fast. For that we have made our promotional strategy very strong
to reach the people of all sectors in our country. By promoting very fast we can also build a good
relationship within a short time. We can’t avoid the indirect competitors. So we need to position our
product as an Unique product. We need to promote our product very fast so that we can get the
maximum profit . For that we must have to reach people of all sectors of our country through our
promotional works.

it provides is quite distinctive. Hence, it will be accepted rather well. Furthermore, the people’s
nutrition needs are met and a social problem is tackled tactfully. The malnourished poor people
of the country, too enticed by the irresistible taste and unbelievable price, will buy this product
and will benefit themselves without even knowing it.
