Exit Strategy for investors

In case our idea of packing and Shifting business in Pakistan does not work, well go for either of the following two exit strategies:

10

1. We`ll give our trucks to transportation business so they could use our trucks for their own business operations and they will they amount of installments to the banks because we are going to use truck on leasing basis. 2. Our business building is on rental basis so we have no worry for the building we`ll vacate the building. And so far as our land is concerned we could use it for our wedding ceremonies. We could rent out the land to catering business for functions.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: In todays competitive era and fast paced life, professionals relocate to another city or area, in search of better job opportunities and to accomplish their dreams. Till very recently, the very thought of relocation would include months of planning, sleepless nights, help of neighbors, tiresome packing, leaves from offices and loads of money. But with the inception of this dynamic industry called the Mehran Packers and Movers, relocation has become an easy, economical, safe and hassle free activity. It takes one phone call or visit to the moving agent, and the work is done in the most conducive and structured manner. Mehran Packers and Movers is a service oriented industry, with thrust and focus being given on total customer satisfaction. Though the industry has a separate identity, it works with the support of many other industries such as the warehousing, insurance, etc. Manpower and infrastructure plays an vital role in the operation of the packers and movers; as based on their competency the enterprise can pitch for complete customer satisfaction, thus carving a niche in the market. Given this, it becomes imperative for the mehran packers and movers to be experienced, efficient and reliable. Easy and friendly, they should also be able to understand the exact requirement of the clients and offer customized services that not only meets their expectations but also fits their budget. Besides, having a proficient team with effective communication skills, it is also very important to have good market repute for the players of this industry. Complete transparency and adherence to various corporate & legal codes should become the underlining factor of their service

ABOUT MEHRAN MOVERS AND PACKERS Mehran Packers and Movers are said to be those people who help you to pack and move your belongings in the safest and the most convenient way. Earlier both these services were distinct from each other with different companies involved in packing the belongings and others in transporting the belongings to the desired location. However in the past 50 years as travel has become easier most of the times both these services are offered by the same company.

There is no clear cut period when mehran Packers and Movers really gained momentum. As mentioned earlier these two jobs were handled by different sets of professionals but then because of mergers and agreements between companies, the thin line of difference between the two blurred considerably. Most of the individual big companies decided to group the two activities together. This activity has gained much more significance in the past decade or so due to industrialization. Because of the growth in various companies and expansion all around the globe people were being moved and transferred with a higher frequency than before. As people moved their stuff needed to be moved as well. And when dealing with crosscountry transfers or international ones people always seemed to place more trust in professional companies than in individual dealers. Thus, soon enough there was a huge rise in the number of moving services being offered. At the same time packers too witnessed a growth in their business sector as many people preferred their expensive possessions to be handled thoroughly by such services. Despite the large number of related services available people around the world still prefer to pack and move their stuff on their own.

The Moving and Packing industry has certainly seen a tremendous rise in its turnover but it seems a bit pale in comparison to the amount of people who are moving. This is due to two reasons; in the western world labor is very expensive. Due to this most of the times it is not feasible to engage the services of these experts. Secondly packing is something which most of the people consider as personal this too contributes to the relative barrier in this industry. Within Pakistan most consumers prefer to pack the goods on their own and transport them through trucker services or exclusive movers.

20

PACKERS AND MOVERS IN PAKISTAN: Some small companies are providing packing and moving service in Lahore and Karachi and Islamabad but not in proper way so there is gap of opportunity to be filled out. So this industry is at introductory stage in Pakistan. Names of the companies those are providing packing and moving service in Pakistan. Care Packer Pakistan. Family Movers International.

INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION INDUSTRY TRENDS: In Pakistan there are very few companies those are providing this service in few cities of Pakistan at low scale but some of them only provides packing or moving service at very high cost. So the industry is on introductory stage and there is a window of opportunity for new entrant. INDUSTRY SIZE: As movers and packer industry in Pakistan is on introductory stage the local industry size is very small. But all over the world especially in U.S.A, U.K and Canada the size of this industry is at peak and serving the people in very profitable way.

INDUSTRY ATTRACTIVENESS: The packers and movers industry is become very attractive in Pakistan now a days because the city life become very busy and people have not much time to waste on shifting there home and people are also not satisfy with the conventional type of packing and moving because they were not cost effective and cause a lot of damage of goods. So there is a need of company which can provide proper service of moving and packing.

21

PROFIT POTENTIAL: Packers and Movers industry has high profit potential all over the world and its demand is also increasing day by day in Pakistan because new housing societies are establishing in many cities of Pakistan. This industry is on introductory stage and proving opportunity for new entrant. Introducing this industry in Pakistan is very profitable now a day because most of the people in big city of Pakistan like Lahore and Karachi are living on rent or shifting there home to newly established society.

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE:

As we are new in the market and for the first two years we will be in the introduction stage and we need a lot of promotions for MEHRAN PACKERS AND MOVERS Besides this we have opportunity for growth and will chance to reach at maturity after few years.

Threat of substitutes is medium for Packers and movers since most of our target market can shift there homes through conventional shifting process. Threat of new entrants is high because this industry is on introduction stage and there is more window of opportunity for new firms. Rivalry among existing firm and Mehran Packers and Movers would be low because they are not such firm in Pakistan who are providing proper packing and moving

PEST ANALYSIS:

The external macro-environment in which a firm operates can be expressed in terms of the following factors Political Economic Social Technological

Packers and Movers to operate under the effect of these factors

29

ECONOMIC The economic arena in which Mehran Packers and Movers will function is not favorable. The economic condition of Pakistan is deteriorating. The major economic challenges facing Pakistan is raising poverty and unemployment, heavy external and domestic indebtedness, high fiscal deficit and low investment. Poor domestic commodity production combined with excess demand and some high import prices have been inferred to cause annual inflation to increase to 12 per cent during 2007-08 and further to 25 per cent in the first quarter of the current year A Rise in costs of most products and services has been seen which is corresponded with an increase in pay of government employees, although most claims, its hardly a relief; especially since private sector employees have been not so lucky. TECHNOLOGY In terms of Technological Capabilities variables, Pakistan is placed at 10 (above Bangladesh) for use of computers and third from the bottom (above Nigeria and Bangladesh) for the number of telephone lines and the use of internet. POLITICAL In terms of Political Conditions variables, Pakistan is ranked at 7th for rule of law and is placed at 8th for corruption. Pakistan face significant structural weaknesses, and are much more likely to fail in meeting the projections than those countries whose political and economic conditions are more stable today. Political changes in Pakistan are moving extremely fast. The Pakistani army has entered fullscale military operations against the local Taliban in the Sawat Valley of the Northern Province Sarhad. The press is in -chains and the printed word is in disgrace. Political leaders are victimized and political parties suppressed SOCIAL In the social sector too, there is a need for significant improvement. To take the example of health care, Pakistan spent less than $25 per head on health each year in 2005. Pakistan is a marked under-performer, spending just $13 per person on health care in 2003, a figure that has fallen 13% since 1998. Current situation is not much different for the previous years mentioned above.

30

MARKETING PLAN:

PRODUCT FEASIBILITY AND STRATEGY: Concept Testing: We conducted a survey using the most appropriate tool i.e. the questionnaires in which we asked tenants if a FM service operating in Pakistan, would they like to avail it or nor. For this purpose we used a sample of 200 and response we got is shown below graphically:

NO. of respondants willing to use the Mehran Packers and Movers Service

not willing 30%

willing 70%

31

Out of the 200 respondents, 70% said that theyll happy with opening of Mehran PACKERS and MOVERS and will like to get the benefit from this company while rest 30% said they would not. Conclusion drawn from the survey Taking into the response of our target market, we are sure about the success of our project. MARKETING STRUCTURE: As, we are new in the market and some companies already provide services to the customers. And as a new product much time will be spent by the Mehran PACKERS AND MOVERS to create awareness of its presence amongst its target market. PRODUCT Established quality and branding and protect the intellectual property such as patents, trademark etc PRICING At the introduction stage prices are low. And settle according to the economic conditions of Pakistan because the fuel prices are keep on rising which can severely affect our business. PLACEMENT Is selective until consumer show acceptance and the entire placement are made by the company itself. PROMOTION The main objective of promotion is to build product awareness and to educate people about the product. PEOPLE The staff we are required should have interpersonal skills, aptitude, and Knowledge about the service which are providing to the consumer. PROCESS The systems used to assist the organization in delivering the services.

32

 PHYSICAL EVIDENCE The services being delivered to the consumers. And it is the element of the services mix where the consumer is in the condition to judge the level of services provided by the MEHRAN PACKERS AND MOVERS. . PROMOTIONS: 1. Discount The discount will be provided to those who come with any reference or from our friends and family. 2. Referral Schemes A great source for our biz will be our current pool of happy customers. Families that will be pleased with our program will be glad to share their experiences with their friends and families. Send them a thank you note for referring someone. Give them a feedback note and request them for referrals. ADVERTISING: Well be advertising our camp using the following tools Hoardings Brochures Referrals Web directories Cable adds Add on Face Book as well as on YouTube

Distribution through News papers Well be distributing our brochures with the local news papers also Dawn The NEWS Nawa-e-Waqt Jang The Nations

33

HOARDING: The city in which well use hoardings for the advertising of our company along with the campaigns budget is given below: HOARDING CAMPAIGN FOR THE FIRST MONTH PRICING STRATEGY: Price is a very major factor as far as economy and consumer mind setup is concerned. While setting prices company should consider setting such an appropriate price that coincides with the product image in the consumer mind that is established through promotion. As we are entrepreneurs so we should set price while keeping the affordability of our customer and our competitor. PRICING OBJECTIVITY: Our main objective is to capture the maximum market share and to become the market leader. Also have brand image in the market. PRICE SETTING: Before setting the many prices we will include many factors whose cost combine together and make the prices which are Cost of workers Services cost Transportation cost Estimated demand Cost Promotion cost Distribution cost Cost and price of competitor STRATEGIES: STATUS GOALS:

34

The primary intention of us to adopt these goals to avoid any form of prices competition. Major reason for seeking the price stability is to avoid price wars. This pricing policy will give us an easy means of avoiding difficult pricing decisions. MARKET SHARE LEADERSHIP:

This is related to current situation in short return and not to long run. We will select that price which gives it maximum current profit. TO MAXIMIZE PROFIT:

According to the economic theory or business practices there is nothing wrong with profit maximization because a profit maximization goal for us is far more beneficial to it and also to the public, if it is practiced over the long run. To do this we will sometimes have to accept short run losses. DEMAND SCHEDULE:

Different prices for services will produce different level of demand. The relation between the price and resulting demand is captured in a demand schedule. We have a normal demand schedule in which price varies as inversely to demand. FINAL PRICE:

The price of us is in agreement with different people such as government, distributors, dealers, customers.

CRITICAL RISK ANALYSIS:

MANAGEMENT RISKS: As we come with different idea and concept in Pakistan so in future there is possibility anyone of our manager or business partner could be our competitor. As in the Mehran packing and moving industry in Pakistan is emerging in Pakistan. There is a lack of trained and efficient workers.

Measures to cope up with the risks: We have proper legal documentation with our managers/employees/business partners. We have non-disclosure agreements and no one from within our organization will be our competitor in next 15 years. Few Foreign trained personnels are hired. So we get two way benefits from them. First to make our business run smoothly and second is to assist us in different management decisions. We shall provide high security and incentives as well.

MARKETING RISKS: As our target market is narrow, so there are chances that our marketing campaign could not reach to our targeted market.

45

 Through our marketing program people might not be convinced about measures that we have made. They feel their child insecure in our camp and hence pay no attention towards our promotional campaign. Measures to cope up with risks: We have planned our marketing very wisely and extensively. We placed our billboards in the best locations. Flyers and brochures are distributed in our targeted market areas. Personal marketing and lecture delivering in different schools would be effective to make sure parents about the security of their children.

OPERATIONAL RISKS: As we know the current political, law and order situation of our country. Its very bad on security side. So our trucks will possibly face security problems. Measures to cope up with the Risks: Considering the current security conditions of the country. We are giving the insurance facility to our clients which are mandatory. We are also using guards that will go with on trucks. FINANCIAL RISKS: As there is global recession and economy is not going so well so its very hard to attract the investors. So we will be unable to generate profits in first five years. But we`ll try our level best to attract new investors so we will able to open new offices in other cities. If we need finance in short run we can borrow it from our friends and relatives.
