  10. Market Segmentation (contd) Psychographic: Thinkers Achievers Innovators Experiencers Believers

  11. Market Segmentation (contd) • Behavioral • Occasion: Students often go to tours in their vacation. As one of our segments is students, semester breaks, public holidays or even week-ends are preferable occasions for them. In addition, families with children wait for the year-end vacations of school. Hence, people who are willing to go to tours outside town in such occasions are our target customers. • User Status: Frequent or regular users. • Usage rate: Some family persons or group of people always look for tour agencies in a certain time of the year. These people are our potential customers. • Attitude: People who are enthusiastic about experiencing new things and also who are positive.

  12. Targeting Strategy We will be attempting to cover each and every segment we discovered with our service and communication tool. Therefore, our strategy would be using full market coverage. Through our communication tools we will be making people aware of our service and also we will pursue them to take it.

  13. Positioning “To music lover, enthusiastic to taste new experience and admirer of Bangladeshi nature and history, Musical Bangladesh is a tourism service under Parjatan Corporation of Bangladesh which does not only give the customers a basic tourist package but also give an opportunity to know the core of indigenous music of Bangladesh by letting them experience the different types of local music of the country at their birthplaces.”

  14. Customer Insight Folk or local music was being undermined for a long until music directors like Habib Wahid started remixing these indigenous music and presenting it to the mass market. Over a long period of exposure customers of now do have a basic knowledge of our history of indigenous music. Moreover, these songs have become very popular even in the urban areas. Hence, we think customers would be interested know about this more with convenient tour packages of us.

  15. Slogan Where music embraces the heart

  16. Marketing Need/Anticipated Demand • There are already a huge number of tourism agencies that provide packages to travel all around Bangladesh focusing on specific and exotic locations. So, The number of agencies best describe that there is already a huge market for such business. • Also we have enthusiasts of bangla endogenous music who would love to know more about our local/own culture and cultural music.

  17. Internal & external analysis

  18. Marketing Need/Anticipated Demand • Separately, there is market for both but together there isn’t any. At least, not currently present in Bangladeshi market. So, if we consider the “demand state” theoretically, we will find it as a “Non-Existent” market for this particular service. • we can assume that customers need such service and they need to know more about Bangladesh, it’s culture, music, key places, tradition etc

  19. Marketing Need/Anticipated Demand • So, for the purpose of our proposed venture we would like to consider it as there is a Latent demandfor our services as we are inducing/influencing customers towardsthis particular demand by focusing on tourism as well as a chance to explore the root of our endogenous music at the same time. In other words, Our TG will get the taste of the “Best of both worlds” at the very same package.

  20. Current Trend • People are very busy in minding their own business. So, essentially they don’t bother much to know about these sort of services. • If you ask them about the importance to know more about their country and its culture they’ll all agree but they’ll also have some sort of excuses to avoid it. • Even if they do, there is internet, where they can easily access and know almost anything about everything and everything about anything.

  21. Current Trend • Inefficient tourism agencies: There are a number of tourism agencies which specialize on these activities but they are merely tourist guides only. They’ll just take you to the places and show around. They might tell you something about the past but they themselves do not have sufficient knowledge about it to tell others. On the other hand, we will not only show them around but also give them the environment that used to be at that time.

  22. Current Trend • Small vacations: Job holders look for vacations that they can enjoy during the weekends. • Many of them would like to go on a short trip to a nearby location for 2-3 days. • long-term vacations which is more frequent during summer and winter. These days the whole family will be able to spend more time on vacations and they want to go for a long trip and try to spend more quality time with the family. • Another category would be people who go on vacations more often regardless of these holidays.

  23. Competitors of Parjatan • The Guide Tour Lid: • The pioneer tour agent in Bangladesh. • Highly specialized for Shundarban visit. • They have their own ship. • Toursbd: • Expert for Group and corporate tour, Eg.

Sylhet, cox’sbazar, Khulna, etc. • Annex Travel and consulting Group: • They also provide regular tourism services in different location in the country.

  25. Competitors of Parjatan It is very difficult to specify the direct and close competitors of Parjatan but any other hotels and the local tour agents can also may be Parjatan’s competitors.

  26. Porter’s Five Forces Model. • New Entrants : Moderate • Substitute : High • Bargaining Power of Buyers: Low • Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Moderate • Current Rivalry: Moderate

  27. SWOT Analysis • Strength • Brand Recognition & Reliability • Network Reach of Parjatan • Infrastructure • Weakness • Limitation of Financial Resource • Lack of professionalism among the service representatives • Long and unnecessary chain of command

  28. SWOT Analysis • Opportunity • New generation are getting concerned about native culture and music • Increase of the traveling tendency • Exploring and making the unique cultural aspects available to the people • Branding Bangladesh in the international occasions • Threat • The emergence of the new traveling agencies • The unwillingness of the people to provide the service • Causalities of the local people at Chittagong Hill Tracts
