After then more than 12000 well established direct marketing company operated their activities over 150 countries in the world and playing great role on socio-economic development. Although direct marketing activities started in Bangladesh before all most 10 years ago but still this type of marketing can not get a suitable place in mind of Bangladeshi people attractively and beyond threat.

And finally tried to present through this report the actual scenario on socio-economic impact of direct marketing in developing countries like Bangladesh and what’s the role played by Destiny-2000 Ltd. And also what role will be play in future.

1.3 Methodology:
To making this report I was use two method of data collection that are primary and secondary so this report contains both primary and secondary data. Most of the theoretical part of the report based on secondary source of data. That includes –scholarly, Journals, Annual Report, Internet Web site, company profile, newspapers, published documents, weekly statements, Books and magazine etc.

On the other side findings and interpretation parts are based on primary data for its mainly used 3 sources/Method. that are:

1. Face to face interview with members/distributors and adminis-trative body of different direct marketing companies.
2. Observation that are used on different people those are directly or-indirectly related with direct marketing.
3. Structured questionnaire is a only method of primary data collection that is used for sampling respondents usually sleeted form different direct marketing companies with randomly. The total sample size was 190. The study extensively uses descriptive statistics in analyzing and interpreting data array.
1.4 Scope:
To making this report I had to need help of some direct marketing companies in Bangladesh. Specially “Destiny-2000 Ltd”, and some other companies are neway Bangladesh (pvt.) Ltd, Biznes.com Bangladesh Ltd, MXN Modern Herbal food Ltd. Etc. To gathering actual information I went all those companies and talk with their sales & marketing finance, Administration, Training, IT, Production & Purchase, Customer Service even with their distributor. I also went some districts and divisional area for colleting information form root level. I was also take help of some books, Magazine, Article, web site, news paper etc. to make this report.

1.5 Limitation:
To making this report I had face some barrier, specially when I went to some companies for collecting information most of the time they had try to hide the accurate information. Sometimes I had fall in trouble when some distributor can’t fillup questionnaire properly because of their poor educational background. For collecting information through questionnaire, I did not go every district and divisional area because lack of funding and time. I had also fall in problem when I went to go data coding process because I had not sufficient knowledge about this purpose. In that case I got help from my internship supervisor “Samina M Saifuddin” associate professor, department of management studies, university of Dhaka & My Friend Md. Tareq Hasan.

2.1 Traditional Marketing and Direct marketing:
Mainly two types of Marketing Activities Currently Operating in the whole world.
A. Traditional Marketing System
B. Direct Marketing System.
As this report based on Direct Marketing so we must have to have a clear concept about Direct Marketing. But if we want to know clearly about Direct Marketing concept, first of all we must have to have clear concept about traditional Marketing system

A. Traditional Marketing System:
This type of Marketing activities started from many years ago. At least from hundreds years ago. In which a manufacture or a producer sold their product and services to customer through a distribution channel. Some middle man were involved in the distribution channel. Such as importer, agent, dialer, whole seller, retailer, advertise etc.
Advertisement
Manufacture Importer agent whole seller Retailer Customer

In traditional Marketing system a consumer get only consume facilities but don’t enjoy any financial benefit. Only all those middle man can enjoy financial benefit. As middle men enjoy financial profit so ultimately Product and service price become more expensive compare to production price. As consumers are the main source of Marketing and any financial benefit so, a few capitalist middle man become more rich day by day. And maximum percent capital of a country goes to a few persons and create like an ice –berg.

B. Direct Marketing System:
This type of Marketing activities started from sixty five years back. Direct Marketing is also called as a Multi-level Marketing, Network Marketing, Direct selling, person to person Marketing, Matrix Marketing, One to One Marketing, Retail Marketing etc.

Direct Marketing is a dynamic, Vibrant, Rapidly expanding channel of distribution for the Marketing of products and services directly to consumers.
Manufacturer Direct Marketing company Consumer
Administrative/payment
In which, Direct Marketing company may be a manufacturer or primarily buy product and services form the manufacturer and sell it directly to the consumer in current market price. This type of company doesn’t use any middle man or advertisement media to sell their product to the consumer. So they can save same many from the cost of middleman & advertise and use it in following two purpose-
• Administration cost of the company
• Commission payment to the customer.
So in this marketing system mass people that means customer are both side benefited. One is consume benefits another one is financial benefit through the information sale to their family members, friends, relatives, neighbor, colleague etc. If they buy some products and services through his/her reference.

So, ultimately we can say that in Direct marketing system everyone can enjoy not only consuming facilities but also enjoy financial benefits through the information sale in their free time without any extra investment and logistic activities. So this type to marketing can strongly help to break the ice-berg capital structure from few persons and also help to create a equalize capital structure all over the country and that will create a positive socio-economic impact in developing countries like Bangladesh.

2.2 Origin:
In 1940, American chemist Dr carl rain bourg Invented such kinds of vitamin capsule which known as a california vitamin under the california vitamin company. After some years changed the company name “Netrilite product incorporate.” Netrilite product like such as Burnett, studphen etc. on that time “Dr. Carl Rain” thought if he would market his product in traditional marketing way then general consumer would not get any financial benefit. But he wanted to give all financial benefit to the consumers who would eventually buy his product. He also wanted to deduct the role of middle man in his products marketing activities and to keep them away from any kinds of financial benefits. From that thought he made a way of marketing for his product that was directly introduced to consumers from the company without any distribution channel and advertisement and in market price and he also decided to give financial benefits to those consumers who would sale his product through their oral information. Thus created a new marketing system that is “Direct marketing”. So, that was the origin time of direct marketing and Dr. Coral Rain Bourg called as inventor or father of direct marketing system.

2.3 World-wide expansion level :
After 18 years from the origin that means in 1958 from American parliament direct marketing system achieved international recognition as legal marketing activities in the whole world and the difference was (410-400) that means 10 votes. After then direct marketing never have to look back.

In 1958, top level persons of the company Rich D. Vose and his friend J. Van Andel came out from Nutritile product incorporate and established a new direct marketing company and that was “Amway corporation.” Amway was taken from two words that was “ American & wave”. In present time Amway corporation is the largest and number one direct marketing company in the whole world.

At present that excided more than 50% for both and Amway corporation in the largest direct marketing company not only in United States but also all over the world at present time having a yearly turn over more than $10 billion.

Now a days more than 10 million people are involved in direct marketing practice. Actually in 1990 whole Europe was very excited about direct marketing and saw their tremendous future.

2.4 Comparison between Traditional marketing and direct marketing:
Global Retail Sales
March 21, 2006

Global Direct Sales Force
March 21, 2006

If we analysis the two chart of sales growth then we can easily find that chart no-01 of Global traditional marketing growth always fluctuates that means some times goes to upward and some times goes to down ward. On the other side, in chart No. 2. We can see that Global direct marketing growth goes always upward year after year. That means sales always increasing. So easily we can say that direct marketing is better than traditional marketing. Soon there will be a time when global direct marketing sales ratio will exceed over Global traditional marketing sales ratio.

There are some reasons for which most of the customer will be interested more in direct marketing rather than traditional marketing. Those are :

1. Capital: To start a traditional business one must have to arrange minimum taka 2/3 Lac but to involve in direct marketing one business need at best Tk. 5,000-10,000.
2. Risk: Owner must have to take 100% risk to start a traditional marketing business but a person doesn’t have to take any risk to involve in direct marketing business.
3. Customer/Client: For traditional business owner’s customers are limited. Whereas in direct marketing business customer’s are unlimited for direct seller.
4. Area of operational activities: In traditional business, area of operational activities is specific but in direct marketing business whole area is open for a Net worker.
5. Registration & Permission: To start a traditional business owner’s must have to have registration and take permission from all related institution. On the other side to involve in direct marketing business each people is free from all those formalities.
6. Time: In traditional marketing business, owner must have to engage in his/her business, at least 10-12 hours where as in direct marketing business, a direct seller is free from any time bundle.
7. Maintenance Cost: In traditional marketing business, owner’s must have to consider al types of maintenance cost liabilities but in direct marketing business, a direct seller don’t take any type of maintenance cost liabilities because those are taken by the direct marketing companies administration.
8. Gainer party: In traditional marketing business, owner is the only one who is gainer. Whereas in traditional marketing business, all the customers are benefited.

From all these comparison between traditional marketing business and direct marketing business, we can see that most of the individuals of a country can earn more easily direct marketing involvement rather than to start a traditional business. So, day by day most of the people are going to be more involved in direct marketing selling. That is the main reason for rapid growth of direct marketing business rather than traditional marketing business. Now it is clear that, in traditional marketing business a few number of person who are engaged as like middle man become more capitalist where as must people that means consumer remaining in poor condition. But in direct marketing business average people are benefited. As a result, there is a change to create a situation of capital equalization. That’s make a balance in economic position of a country. Now it is easy to say that, direct marketing business create a positive socio-economic impact in developing countries rather than traditional business.

3.1 Entry period:
In 18th February, 1999 1st direct marketing company entered in Bangladeshi market and that was “Global Guardian Network” (G.G.N.) Canadian citizen “Navoratnam Sri Narawan Thasa, his wife, his sister and his son Murali Sri Narawan Thasa” were founder of the company. Their main product were water distiller machine, polar biear etc. Those were very costly and not necessary in Bangladesh scenario. On the other side some problem raised from illegal trade license and Govt. Registration. G.G.N also had a problem that was they did not provide products and commissions in due time and last four to five months G.G.N did not pay any commission to the customers. In that situation, founder of the company closed their activities and 27th January, 2000 formed a new company that was “Neway Bangladesh Pvt. Ltd.” At the same time of G.G.N another direct marketing company ‘Tong-chang’ origin of China also closed their activities. Neway was known as a sister concern of G.G.N. Neway started their marketing with service charge and few Indian and local products. Those were very below standard. As their operational software and all founder body were stayring in Canada then many problem raised that time. In that time Md. Rafiqul Amin and Mohammad Hossain had given some proposal. On other side receptionist Nazma Ahmed fancy build a close relation with Chairman of Neway and got a director post of the company. In that situation, Neway created an environment that could be termed as a total bad practice in direct marketing in Bangladesh. In September 5, 2000 the National Daily newspaper “Manob Jomin” published an article and which contained some information about Neway and some other companies those are engaged with bad practices of direct marketing in Bangladesh.

After than again in November 2000, Md. Rafiqul Amin and Mohammad Hossain had given another reformation proposal to management of the Neway. But their were no positive response. In that position, Md. Rafiqul Amin and Mohammad Hossain thought that they had come to Bangladesh from Luxurious Canadian citizen life because the reason only was to help Bangladeshi people through the legal and honest practice of direct marketing. Lastly with another 9 persons Md. Rafiqul Amin and Mohammad Hossain came out from Neway and established a new company “Destiny-2000 Ltd.” Destiny got registration from joint stock company on 14th December 2000 and started their activities on 5th January 2001.In between G.G.N and Destiny all most 15 to 20 other companies started their activities in Bangladeshi market. Such as – THAIFU, DXN etc. But most of the companies closed their activities within short time. Because most of the companies had been cheating with Bangladeshi people. On that time without a very few number of company, most of the companies engaged in bad practices of direct marketing business in Bangladesh. So, most of the people were afraid about direct marketing company and business. A number of marketing researcher think G.G.N and Neway are more responsible for creating that afraid situation . They started a trend of bad practice of direct marketing and some others companies got courage to continue the bad practice of direct marketing. In that tough situation Destiny 2000 Ltd. had played a great role in legal and transparent practice of direct marketing in Bangladeshi scenario with an honest and efficient leader Md. Rafiqul Amin and Mohammad Hossain. And result is that, now direct marketing is in a stable position in Bangladesh and create a good prosperity in socio- economic development in Bangladesh in which Destiny 2000 Ltd. stay in leading position.

4.5.7: Destiny tree plantation Ltd. (D.T.P.L):
Background:
Although tree are well known to every one in the world. But tree package as complete product under direct marketing sale with point value (p.v) is a very unique creation of Destiny group. Md Rafiqul Amin M.D. D2k group is the innovator of this unique product. Destiny tree plantation Ltd (DTPL) registered form joint stock on 29th March, 2006. Once a Established Destiny & direct marketing in Bangladesh was a big challenge to Md. Rafiqul Amin. I think, after that Rafiqul Amin wanted to invent a product that will be unique to the people and every one must have to come to company to buy this product. From that challenge, this idea generated in his mind and today’s Destiny tree plantation project is the result of that.

Product Overview:
DTPL Care for the millions of trees they grow from seed, planting them in the best locations, tending them in order that they will grow to sizes where they will be harvested to provide the timber and its products demanded by the world.
DTPL Care for our environment. After all, only industrial tree plantations are considered by the Kyoto Protocol to absorb and store some of the carbon dioxide they emit in abundance, resulting in global warming. DTPL plantations also provide a habitat for many species of wildlife, preventing their extinction.
DTPL Care for people of the Third World. In areas where there once was only poverty, DTPL bring regular paid employment, and providing whole families with hope for the future our plantations, the people of the area are shareholders and receive a percentage of the income. They also contribute to essential community services that will improve the quality of their life.
DTPL Care for its investors, ensuring that their trust in DTPL is rewarded – amply rewarded in fact, because DTPL offer interim cash returns at 6 and 9 years during the 12 year full- growing cycle. In spite of this, the equivalent return will be far better than offered by most other forms of investment. They deserve it, however, for without them, there would be no plantations.
Project Overview:
Plantation of trees in a systematic manner on large scale basis in suitable areas of the country has now become the pressing need of time. The plantation program as envisaged by Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd., has been fully designed as per principles / norms suggested by concerned experts and professionals for making the scheme a success.
It is true that a dismal picture was prevailing in the forest sector during 1990 while in 1970, forest area accounted for 30% of total land in Bangladesh. That scenario did not prevail any longer and the forest area percentage came down to 9.2% in 1990. With some measures in a limited sphere taken up by the govt. in early 90’s, the situation started improving slowly due to Govt. policy of introduction of participatory social forestry program. In spite of this and some other measures introduced by the Govt., the success is yet to attain the desirable target. It is no denying the fact that more realistic and pragmatic measures need to be immediately taken up to revamp the sector so as to create mass awareness vis-à-vis social participation of the people.
Never before in the forest sector, such vigorous and extensive program for plantation of trees was ever taken by any private organization that Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd., one of the vital concerns of Destiny Group has augmented courageously in the face of several problems. The socio economic objectives behind this investment stake is the creation of huge job opportunities of ordinary skilled and unskilled persons including a remarkable size of related professional groups in one side and, on the other part, this program will effectively ensure congenial situation for environmental protection.
Bangladesh, with her severe land constraints, is endowed with unique soil pattern that every inch of our land, be it plain or hilly area, is equally fertile fulfilling all the requirements of organic components.
In view of the premises mentioned above, it reveals that investment programs in tree plantation projects, both in plain and hilly areas in a massive scale has guaranteed positive economic return, i.e., the Return On Investment (ROI) in this sector is proved to be higher than the opportunity cost of the land.
Moreover, the tree plantation project shall alleviate poverty by creating huge job opportunities adding value to the GDP thus directly contributing to the Growth Rate. In environmental consideration, the massive plantation will absorb Carbon Di Oxide, preserve water in the soil thereby keeping soil active and fertile and this, in turn, will prevent desertification to save future generation from the threats of Green House effect.
Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd. (DTPL) has undertaken this project with a view to bringing all possible suitable areas of the country under plantation, phase by phase over a period of time. Particulars of projects presently under implementation are given below:

Sl. DTPL
Project No. Location Area (acres) Nature of land Number of existing trees (Appx.) Area of land where under new plantation (acres) No of trees under new plantation
(lacs) (Appx.)
1. Project No – 1 Mouza : Choto Kanchanpur, Hathazari, Chittagong. 460 Approx.
* Hilly 7,10,000 00 00
2. Project No – 2 South Madrasa Satkania, Chittagong 699 Approx. (includes lake of 152 acres) ** Hilly & Plain 2,50,000 250 2,50,000
Further land of 400 acres with 200,000 trees under negotiation.
Further 4000 acres having large number of existing trees of high timber value contiguous to this land is under arrangement of lease from the govt. for tree plantation.
Marketing Aspects. ( Pumphlet):
Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd., has evolved a marketing plan / strategy providing opportunities of small investments in the form of purchasing of Certificates against secured / guaranteed alluring Returns to the interested buyers / Distributors for acquiring ownership of trees of different ages categorized in three separate Packages, namely, 6 years Golden Package, 9 years Premier Package and 12 years Classic Package. Salient features of each Package are explained below in the tabular form :

Harhazari:
Name of Package No. of trees Age of trees Name of trees Maturity age of trees (years sale price of one Certificate under the package (Tk.) First inerim payment Second interim payment Final payment Total payment (Tk.)
9 year Premiere Package 15 3-4 years Acaci & Gamari 12 8000.00 2000.00(After 6 years) 0 28000 (After 9 years) 30000.00
12 year Classic Package 25 3 months Acaci & Gamari 12 8000.00 2000.00(After 6 years) 4000.00 (After 9 years) 44000 (After 12 years) 50000.00

Satkania:
Package No. of trees Age of trees Name of trees Maturity age of trees (years sale price of one Certificate under the package (Tk.) First inerim payment Second interim payment Final payment Total payment (Tk.)
6 year Golden Package 10 6-7 years Acaci & Gamari 12 8000.00 0 0 20000 (After 6 years) 20000.00

The above system has been prepared strictly in line with Islami Shariah for halal earning on investment. The marketing mechanism as designed above may vary on case to case basis with some small changes, if required-basis ingredients remaining unchanged.The company has started its journey in a comfortable state with the already existing tree gardens in Chittagong areas. Within this short span of time, a good number of land owners in different areas of the country having existing trees of different ages and also having vacant spaces lying unused for years together, are showing keen interest to join us on Joint-Venture basis. Many of them have submitted proposals also which are under active consideration. Any one or group of land owners, having minimum 100 acres of land suitable for tree plantation will find our package offer of benefits suitable and lucrative for converting his long unused fallow land into a challenging asset for the economic survival of all the active participants of the program.
Under the guidance and supervision of some of the Bangladeshi top forestry experts, seedling nursery will be setup to grow the selected species. And only those saplings meeting the strict quality specifications will be transplanted in to the sites.
Planting With No Use of Chemicals:
Saplings will be planted at the recommended spacing and in the manner of best forestry practice. During their early years especially, the trees will receive regular applications of non-chemical plant nutrients to encourage extensive root growth, an essential for a healthy and vigorous tree. After six years, a thinning will be undertaken that will remove the less vigorous plants, allowing the remaining to have the benefit of the available nutrients. Click here for details, Although this thinning has little value as lumber, it is saleable for other uses such as charcoal production, fencing posts, etc. and thus a dividend can be declared from the sales.
Nine years after planting, some trees will be of suitable size for use as commercial lumber. These will be harvested to not only obtain a return on the investment, but to once again allow the remaining trees to obtain maximum benefit from the surrounding soil, thus promoting the final vigorous growth required. During this period, replanting will also commence. After a further three years, the final harvest will be undertaken and the full potential realized.

Thinning Explained:
The more space a plant has in which to grow, the more likely it is to reach an optimal size. One can demonstrate this by using indoor potted plants as an example. A plant kept in its original pot will only grow to a certain size, then its growth will cease. Should it be re-potted in a larger pot, then it will continue to grow until again its limits are reached. It may have appeared to be at its maximum size, but if again it is re-potted, growth resumes. Trees, being plants, react in the same manner. Their growth is dependent on their ability to extract sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil surrounding them. If sufficient space is available, then a tree will grow as quickly as nature will allow to reach harvestable size.

DTPL Care for our investors, ensuring that their trust in us is rewarded – amply rewarded in fact, because we offer interim cash returns at 6 and 9 years during the 12 year full- growing cycle. In spite of this, the equivalent return will be far better than offered by most other forms of investment. They deserve it, however, for without them, there would be no plantations.

Environmental Benefits:
Most people are aware of the environmental damage that has been caused in just the last forty years. As human beings, DTPL all contributed to the devastation that is around us today. We are aware of global warming, a seemingly irreversible condition that has been caused by mans total disregard for his planet. This will cause a major climatic change as well as a flooding of thousands of square kilometers of coastal areas.
Plant and animal species are dying out because of pollution of both earth and water. There is little doubt, that although man continues to throw billions of tons of palliative gases and particles into the atmosphere, had he not devastated the forests of the earth, the results would have been less disastrous than they currently are.
How Do You Know Your Trees Have Actually Been Planted?
The tree number is allocated by Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd., and number plates are fixed only on trees after examination and proper counting of trees done by the Department of Forestry of the Government of Bangladesh.

Watch Your Money Grow:
DTPL website will feature regular photographs from around the plantation side as well as providing up-to-date news on its activities and achievements. Of course, should you ever consider a visit to the plantation to take advantage of its beautiful hill areas, then DTPL shall be able to photograph you standing among your trees.

Each And Every Tree Is Safe Against Destruction By Fire And Other Hazards:
An Insurance / Compensation provision to be implemented ensuring that the owner of trees shall remain unaffected in getting his due payment(s) despite any damage caused to his trees by fire or any other hazard.

Trees Nature’s Gifts:
Make no mistake about it – we are all contributors to global warming. We demand electricity to power our appliances. We burn fuel to heat our homes. We believe it is our right to own and drive a vehicle – and all of these produce carbon dioxide, a gas that is the direct cause of the greenhouse effect. Over 100 kms. above the earth, the ever-increasing volume of this gas is trapping the heat emitted from the earth and causing a small but steady rise in mean temperatures. The anticipated effects of this is obvious by the reduction of glaciers, the melting of ice-caps and gradual changes in weather patterns. We blame carbon dioxide for this. It has become our enemy – and yet this is not true. Without carbon dioxide we would have no food to eat. Carbon dioxide is our friend – it is the huge surplus of carbon dioxide – for which we humans are directly responsible – that is our enemy.

All plants need carbon dioxide. It is an essential part of their food chain, without which they would be unable to grow. Trees, grains, vegetables, etc. take in carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves, and using a complex system called photosynthesis, using the energy from the sun, convert this gas into glucose, the building material from which cells are created and growth can occur. Animals, including humans, cannot produce glucose even though we need it to survive and grow, and so we obtain it from the plants and/or the animals.

If the benefits to mankind stopped there, still we would be grateful, and yet additional service is given to us by trees and plants; the complex photosynthesis process also requires hydrogen, yet another gas. The plant does not take this from the atmosphere, however, but by its roots as two parts hydrogen one part oxygen (H20). Then breaks up the molecules, keeps the hydrogen and releases oxygen, thus giving us the very air we breathe. Without trees and plants we would not only starve to death but eventually suffocate.

Global warming has been exacerbated not only by pumping more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but also by the exploitation and spoilage of our forests. Deforestation has become dramatic. To survive, we must reverse the process. We are trying to do that. However, it is not an easy task though. Let us say that you have a modest house of 100 sq. mts., one car and a smoker. Just for your own lifestyle to be making a zero contribution to the carbon dioxide build-up, you need, somewhere in the world, to plant quite a lot of trees.

Community Benefits:
Bangladesh is a developing nation. Throughout the country, especially in the countryside, large areas of poverty exist. There are few opportunities for employment. Families exist on subsistence activities at best. Although as an investor you do not ask for charity opportunities, still you will be giving to some of your fellow men new hope and dignity. The reason is obvious; a project such as this requires manpower. A great deal of manpower. In fact, each sub-project of 1,000 Has. will require approximately 350 full-time workers. They will be required to work in the nursery, transfer and plant the saplings, provide water if necessary, fertilize, clear weed growth, maintain firebreaks, harvest and transport, provide security, etc.
In addition to all this, Destiny Tree Plantation Ltd., on behalf of its investors, will ensure that its workers and their families enjoy medical and educational facilities as well as basic needs such as clean water, electricity and hygienic waste disposal.
For watering of trees, huge quantity of water will be required for which lakes will be created on the valley land. Besides fish culture, these lakes will also be source of irrigation throughout the year for the plain agricultural lands in the area, which will have the trickle down benefit from the Tree Plantation Project.
Tree Type details

The types of trees selected for the project pass a number of important criteria.

These include:
– Proven to grow vigorously in Bangladesh climatic conditions.
– Less susceptible to pest and disease.
– Less susceptible to fire
The type of timber is recognized in market demands.
The types of trees that meet this criteria are generally from three distinct families; Acacia and Gamary, The preferred trees are: Mahogony and sagun ( Chittagong Teak)
Conclusion:
After all the discussion about Destiny Group. I think that, Destiny Tree plantation Ltd is most important organization of Destiny Group. Because through only this project Destiny can be rached on their destination. On the other side in present scenario of Bangladesh this sister concern of Destiny group will play a great role in socio-economic development of Bangladesh. I think it will be happen more then hundred percent. I also think for only this product Md. Rafiqul Amin and his company Destiny-2000 Ltd will get noble prize within few years.

Significant growth and rapid success encouraged Destiny to look ahead towards a competitive and viable future. To meet the future challenges, Destiny has developed a five year strategic plan to involve 2 million beneficiary distributors by the year 2010.

6.1: Socio economic impact of direct marketing in developing countries like Bangladesh & Destiny-2000 Ltd:

I think direct marketing played, playing and also will play a great role in socio economic scenario of Bangladesh & Destiny-2000 Ltd. will play a great role as a leader of direct marketing in Bangladesh.

Some socio-economic impact:
Help to create employment opportunity:
Although every year more than 3 Lacs people Enter in Job market in Bangladesh But Govt. & Non Govt. Sector Cannot arrange job opportunities for more than 1 Lac. So, Large number of people are become unemployed every year. In this cases, Direct marketing companies can reduce this percentage of unemployment. Destiny already create thousand of employments facilities.

Help to create part time practices:
Actually in Present Scenario, a little number of part time job opportunities exist in Bangladesh. Through Direct marketing it is easy to create large number of part time job facilities. Now in Destiny more than 8 Lacs people working as a part timer.

Independent work facilities:
Direct marketing provide independent work facilities. So everyone become more enthusiastic and try to show their creativity and more efficiency.

Help to capital formation:
Through direct marketing any people get a facilities to earn extra income by using their Free time. So it helps them for savings. For strong economy saving is very important.

Create earning opportunity:
As Direct marketing also provide part time job facilities. So, every one, specially all students get a facilities to earn some money by using their free time. So it can help their parents to become free from their economic burden.

Capital equalization:
Through direct marketing it is possible to break monopoly capital market. For introduction of direct marketing, role of middleman are decreasing day by day. Whereas mass people play there role as a middlemen and earning money. So create a situation of capital equalization.

Help to skill development:
As in direct marketing, people are engage to convince other. So eventually automatically develop their skill. That way he/she can be useful in any sector. It also helps them to become more effective.

Increase Industrialization:
Direct marketing Companies want to produce product & services with its own brand to give facilities to their customer. Its help to increase industrialization. Already Destiny established 8 sister concerns.
Reasonable price of products & Services :
As through direct marketing, increase industrialization so, competition also arise in pricing. So, people get product and service in comparatively low price.

Provide better quality:
As through industrialization price is more competitive with each other. So only quality becomes important factor to the customer. So direct marketing provide not only reasonable price facilities but also provide high quality of product. In this case, Destiny is the better example.

Help to people awaking from sleeping merits:
Through Direct marketing everyone can enjoy independent work facilities. So some sleeping merits get a chance to do something’s. Sometimes they perform very well that means awake their sleeping merits.

Increase Purchasing power:
As in direct marketing everyone can be involved and also enjoy the facilities of earning which called extra earning so, ultimately this extra income help them to increase their purchasing power. Increased purchasing power of at least 50,000 people through Destiny.

Reduced Crime in Society:
As, direct marketing increase purchasing power of mass people, So ultimately reduce their financial demands and its help to reduce crime in society.
Build Proper attitude:
Direct marketing training provided to the customer to know how to deals other, what is right or wrong etc. so, through these training it is easy to build personal proper attitude.

Source of govt. Revenue:
Although, in traditional marketing it is easy to hide their actual information about transaction but in direct marketing business it is quite impossible. Govt. Can easily collect all revenue from all taxes & vat. Destiny already paid more than Tk. 12 Core tax and vat to the govt.

Improve life style:
Through direct marketing people only enjoy financial benefits but also enjoy tension free time leverage. That helps to improve their life style.

Easy to proper utilization of our manpower:
In present scenario, India as a developing country, improved tremendously in socio-economically by using their man power properly. So it is also easy to utilize our manpower through direct marketing involvement for our better economy.

Increase G.D.P:
Direct marketing is a very important and effective way to increase National G.D.P. In that point Destiny strongly agreed. Destiny also strongly believed that, their tree plantation project will play a great role to increase national G.D.P.

Increase Export:
As, direct marketing companies are always trying to provide better quality products to their customer. So they try to establish industries. Result is that, production will increase and that will help to increase Export to earn foreign currency.

Help to create leader:
All developed countries in the world has a secret of their massive development. That secret is their honest & efficient leadership. Through direct marketing creates thousands of leader those who lead their team.

From all these discussion we can clearly see and understand that, If we wants to develop Bangladesh in socio-economically, then without proper utilization of our manpower it is quite impossible. So, direct marketing is a major way of proper utilization of our manpower and development of socio-economic situation. In this situation, Destiny-2000 Ltd. may play their role as a driver of the journey.

6.2: Suggestion & Recommendation:
After discussion of all parts of this report of we can see that, direct marketing is very popular & more effective way of socio economic development of a country in world scenario. But still now in Bangladesh, direct marketing is not so popular and trust worthly Bangladeshi people. Only reason for these type of situation is bad practice of direct marketing system in Bangladesh from the beginning by some fraud & inefficient companies. As, Bangladesh government has not have any formal rules or regulation about direct marketing, So government has no control over bad practice of direct marketing companies. The result is, most of the direct marketing companies took the opportunity that did forward fraud with innocent consumer classes.

In present time, If we want to come out from all those fraud & chit activities then only one way is that, Government must have to make a formal & strict rules and regulation regarding direct marketing practices in Bangladesh with the help of WFDSA & FTC. In this situation govt. should have control over direct marketing activities under a specific ministry and also have to create an environment for mass people involvement in direct marketing through some encouraging activities by the media highlights.
Bangladesh govt. should have to take initiative to be a member of WFDSA.
WFDSA History:
Founded in 1978, the WFDSA is a non-governmental, voluntary organization globally representing the direct selling industry as a federation of national Direct Selling Associations. The United States Direct Selling Association serves as the Secretariat for the Federation and is based in Washington DC.
Direct selling involves the marketing of products and services directly to consumers in a face-to-face manner, away from permanent retail locations.
Our membership consists of more than 56 national direct selling associations and one regional Federation, with one delegate from each association, as well as a number of regional and global officers, serving as the Board of Directors.
Mission:
The WFDSA mission is to build understanding and support for direct selling worldwide. The association supports direct selling companies and associations by:
• Developing, maintaining and promoting the highest global standards for responsible and ethical conduct.
• Advocating the industry’s positions and interest with governments, media and key influencers.
• Serving as a trusted global resource for information on direct selling.
• Facilitating interaction among direct selling executives on issues of importance to the industry.
On the other side, to make a formal & strict rules and regulation , govt. Should have to take FTC’s help.

FTC:
The Federal Trade Commission is the nation’s consumer protection agency. The FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection works For The Consumer to prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the marketplace.

The Bureau:
Enhances consumer confidence by enforcing federal laws that protect consumers Empowers consumers with free information to help them exercise their rights and spot and avoid fraud and deception Wants to hear from consumers who want to get information or file a complaint about fraud or identity theft

FTC had given some advice to boycott direct marketing companies. Those are:
1) Those companies are give commission against membership not for product sales.
2) Those companies start their business with high price & unnecessary product
3) Those companies prepare their marketing plan with high price & unnecessary product
4) Those companies bound their customer/distributor to buy their product to fill up their regular cota.
5) In those companies has not opportunity to give back unnecessary product under (Buy-back- policy)
6) Those companies appointed as a distributor under booking system.

In Bangladesh perspective, we think that population is a burden for our country. But this large population may be an important element for socio-economic development of our country if we can properly utilize them. Direct marketing may be the only one way of rapid socio-economic development in Bangladesh perspective if we can start and continue direct marketing as a good cultural practice. For this, government must have to play a great role as a supervisor of our direct marketing companies. Lastly I want to say that, if we can do all these things properly, honestly and efficiently then hope fully within 2018 Bangladesh will known as a socio-economic developed country in the whole world.
