EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
Beauty soaps are one of the popular consumable products in our regular
life. The soap in Bangladesh is at the high growth rate and many new
entrants are planning to launch their product in this category. Green
Lemon Organic is a startup and targets at entire family with their various
herbal soaps. The market has been segmented according to
geographical locations. It further differentiates these segments into
Socio Economic Cluster (SEC) which takes into account the criteria of
education and profession which ultimately measures the financial ability
of consumers. This data is easily available on IMRBINT.com. The duster is
divided into five parts starting from A to E. The products target the urban
and suburban, upper and upper middle class segment of the population,
who fall under A and B section of SEC. Tactical marketing tools, 4Ps are
extensively used by the company to market products. The products are
produced in Bangladesh. There are 4 varieties of soap based on skin
type-dry skin, oligopolistic, variations in price lead to price war which can
eventually break down the companys market share. Thus Green Lemon
cannot provide a better price that its competitors. But the price is
affordable by most of people. Green Lemon will outsource its distribution
channel to third party distributors which allow them to distribute product
in massive bulks amounting to around Twelve thousand pieces. It
undertakes one of the largest promotional activities in the herbal soap
industry. The soap industry has a few major producers of which
Bangladesh Unilever holds market share of 45% other competing brands
like Square Toiletries, Kohinoor Chemical Company Ltd, Keya, Dettol,
Johnson & Johnson have started to have a strong consumer base, but
Green Lemon Organics product features distribution and promotional
activities will create high brand loyalty for which it will be a strong
market share holder soon after developing its IMC plan. Green Lemon
Organic, with the aid of its heavy promotional activities and unique
feature of being herbal, will be able to penetrate the market. But other
producers in the industry are posing a threat towards Green Lemon
Organics market share as they have moved towards the rural masses of
the population. Green Lemon Organic is adopting niche marketing as we
aim to target a particular segment and gain their loyalty.

Conclusion
I am very much confident about the new product Green Lemon Soap as
there is no such kind of soap in the current market and our product will
be high qualified. This product has some exclusive characteristics that
will help us to acquire position in the minds of customers. We have a
plan of exporting our products to foreign countries. If we want to do this
then we can make profitable business from the foreign market. Then we
can go for vast production or in other business which will create
opportunity in the market. And we can serve the society or the people
through our business.
