Marketing Mix Analysis of Mission Group

Marketing Mix Analysis of Mission Group

1.1 Introduction:

Mission Group occupies an important place in a nation’s economy. This Group plays a fundamental role in the economic development of a country. My Internship supervisor Md. Idris Ali. (Senior Lecturer, Department of Business Administration,) assigned me the topic “Marketing Mix Analysis of Mission Group” to make a report on it as course part of BBA program. Mainly my analysis site of Mission Group concerns Mission Developers Ltd. I have attended a three-month Internship program at Mission Group with the approval of head of Mission Developers Ltd. Marketing Division duration three months. During the Internship program, I have been gather knowledge about Apartment, Land, Marketing Promotion, & Apartment price.

Mission Developers is one of the paramount establishments of Mission Group engaged in addressing the problems of habitation. Housing problem in DhakaCity has been getting awfully intense, days in and days out. The intensity is caused mainly, among other things, by two factors:

1. One is the decreasing of habitable lands caused by the pressure of population and

2. The other is the heavy influx of urbanized population.

The Mission as well other allied organizations by virtue of their talents, hard work and capital came forward to mitigate this burning problem of life in addition to Governmental effort in this regard. Housing is one of the basic needs of the people. Ours is a densely populated country. In such a situation, all habitable lands are likely to be used up if the super structures are allowed to grow following the outmoded and traditional system while housing problem remain unresolved. Therefore, multistoried apartment concept of today is getting wider acceptance to the urban life-style, with the passage of time, in view of the provision suitable for a cluster of families to live in a single plot of land.

Career in Developers sector has become very lucrative over the last few years considering the work environment and remuneration package. As a student of BBA, I cherish to be a businessman and that is why I had chosen a developers organization for my internship. I chose Mission Group because it has a good reputation in the Developers community.

In this period I have covered general marketing system for Land and Apartment .While conducting this study; sources were explored for primary information .But hardly any update data could be found. In the absence of update data dependence on secondary data has been in evitable .However, when possible primary data has been used.

   1.6  Types and sources of Information :

  Each, research needs some unique types of information, from different sources.Following table summarizes both the types and sources of information that are mostly required in connection with the specific objectives of the study. In a nutshell, two types of sources are used.

 Primary Information:

  1. Face to face conversation with the customers and employees of the company.
  2. Client’s files study.
  3. Attending regular meeting of marketing department.
  4. Official records.
  5. Questionnaire.
  6. Interview with the Housing companies and observation.

Secondary Information:

 Secondary information is collected from REHAB (real Estate and Housing Association pf Bangladesh),by reviewing books, newspaper, Journals , magazines, Website and other relevant documents.

 1.7 Sampling Design and Methodology

Population:

    Population refers to any group of people or objects which are similar in one or more ways and which’s the subject of the study in a particular survey. The population consists of 12 Housing companies and the customer groups. The reason to include Housing to include housing companies in the population is that they are the sellers of the land and apartment. So they can provide information required for the study. Besides, customers are the ultimate beneficiaries of the market. Their desires are of prime import than any other group. Each individual Housing companies is the sampling unit.

Sample Element:

  It is important who’ll to interview. Marketing Manager of the housing companies is interviewed in most cases. In case of unavailability of the Marketing Manager, any manager of the company especially who is informed of the sales matter are interviewed. The extent of the study with the Dhaka Metropolitan city. Sampling Frame. A partial list of the builders was available from REHAB. A complete list is prepared by collecting information from the relevant source.

Sampling Method

    Many Housing companies out of listed are interviewed. The principle was that as many Housing companies as possible would be reached. The rationale is that the industry is widely heterogeneous. To have perfect information, it need to reach everyone or as many as possible. Thus the sampling method could be termed as non-probability purposive sampling.

Questionnaire Checklists:

   A structured questionnaire is used in tapping the information from the developers. Each sample developer is given a questionnaire, assisted fill it up and collected.

 Interview:

   Top ten developers are interview extensively. They have provided with the important industry aspects and issues. In interview, a checklist used.

Content Analysis, Review of a Nicks

 In case of analyzing secondary information, the method of content analysis is done. Advertisements given by the developers. In the newspaper are thoroughly reviewed. This mostly helped in listing developers.

 1.8 Literature Review and working Definitions:

In general, the problem of housing in urban area received a tremendous response from researchers of many discipline, especially statistical, architects, planners, geographers, demographers and engineers. Various aspects of housing problems including housing finance and affordability and role of different sectors are addressed. Most of these studies relate to Dhaka with a few exceptions. Despite studies especially of land housing are very little. Only a few entries were found .Moreover, most of these entries are full of data where sources are not acknowledged.

  • The entire project was not physically visited.
  • All the concerned personnel of the developers have not been interviewed.

3.1 Marketing Mix analysis OF Mission Group

 When marketing their products firms need to create a successful mix of:

  • THE RIGHT PRODUCT
  • SOLD AT THE RIGHT PRICE
  • IN THE RIGHT PLACE
  • USING THE MOST SUITABLE PROMOTION

To create the right marketing mix, businesses have to meet the following conditions:

3.2 The Marketing Mix  (The 4 P’s of Marketing)

Marketing decisions generally fall into the following four controllable categories:

  • Product
  • Price
  • Place (distribution)
  • Promotion

The term “marketing mix” became popularized after Neil H. Borden published his 1964 article, The Concept of the Marketing Mix. Borden began using the term in his teaching in the late 1940’s after James Culliton had described the marketing manager as a “mixer of ingredients”. The ingredients in Borden’s marketing mix included product planning, pricing, branding, distribution channels, personal selling, advertising, promotions, packaging, display, servicing, physical handling, and fact finding and analysis. E. Jerome McCarthy later grouped these ingredients into the four categories that today are known as the 4 P’s of marketing, depicted below:

3.9 The price

Of all the aspects of the marketing mix, price is the one, which creates sales revenue – all the others are costs. The price of an item is clearly an important determinant of the value of sales made. In theory, price is really determined by the discovery of what customers perceive is the value of the item on sale. Researching consumers’ opinions about pricing is important as it indicates how they value what they are looking for as well as what they want to pay. An organisation’s pricing policy will vary according to time and circumstances. Crudely speaking, the value of water in the Lake District will be considerably different from the value of water in the desert.

Pricing policy is the important policy of any company. It is also secret policy of any company. Mission Developers make there apartment price less then 25% profit. But sometime it is up and downs.  It depends of some aspect.

The following conditions are:

  • Price depends on the place.
  • Price depends on the time.
  • Price depends on the Marketing policy.
  • Price depends on the Material Market Price.

           3.12 The place

Although figures vary widely from product to product, roughly a fifth of the cost of a product goes on getting it to the customer. ‘Place’ is concerned with various methods of transporting and storing goods, and then making them available for the customer. Getting the right product to the right place at the right time involves the distribution system. The choice of distribution method will depend on a variety of circumstances. It will be more convenient for some manufacturers to sell to wholesalers who then sell to retailers, while others will prefer to sell directly to retailers or customers.

3.13 The promotion

Many promotional schemes are taken by the company which includes leaflet about the management of this group and how to make this group profitable concern. This leaflet/ brochure is very helpful to popular. Mission also arrange many seminars and workshops in different places to grow awareness and to deliver information about modern scientific farming system which are in turn grow customer relation and betterment of sales volume. Mission also gives pads, pens and calendars etc for promotional purposes. There is another promotional incentive scheme which only for the big customers and distributors.

Promotion is the business of communicating with customers. It will provide information that will assist them in making a decision to purchase a product or service. The razzmatazz, pace and creativity of some promotional activities are almost alien to normal business activities

The cost associated with promotion or advertising goods and services often represents a sizeable proportion of the overall cost of producing an item. However, successful promotion increases sales so that advertising and other costs are spread over a larger output. Though increased promotional activity is often a sign of a response to a problem such as competitive activity, it enables an organization to develop and build up a succession of messages and can be extremely cost-effective.

In the context of the marketing mix, promotion represents the various aspects of marketing communication, that is, the communication of information about the product with the goal of generating a positive customer response. Marketing communication decisions include:

  • Promotional strategy
  • Advertising

             1. TV

              2. Radio

               3. Daily Newspaper

               4. Weekly & Monthly paper

               5. Billboard

  • Personal selling & sales force
  • Sales promotions
  • Public relations & publicity
  • Marketing communications budget

Mainly Mission Developers Selling there product by link. Director of  Mission Group get  0.5% of selling commission. All director maintain good relation with public.

Housing is a prime need ranked equally with food and clothing. This very basic provides people with the measure of safety and security. Housing Industry contribute 16% in GDP. It is the important things of our economy. Housing Industry create more and more job.  With emergence of Dhaka as the capital of independent Bangladesh, there occurred a rapid rise its population within a very short time, as Dhaka became the heart of increasing activities of various types. The annual population growth rate in Dhaka is 7% which is about 30% of the country’s total urban population. This rapid increase in population quickly resulted in scarcity of open spaces in the important residential areas of Dhaka. This problem has further assumed serious magnitude by hazards of purchasing land and constructing buildings etc. For these reasons, people are switching to the Housing companies to get well constructed ready-made land and apartments. The informal Housing immediately turned into a formal industry.

Limitations of the Marketing Mix Framework

The marketing mix framework was particularly useful in the early days of the marketing concept when physical products represented a larger portion of the economy. Today, with marketing more integrated into organizations and with a wider variety of products and markets, some authors have attempted to extend its usefulness by proposing a fifth P, such as packaging, people, process, etc. Today however, the marketing mix most commonly remains based on the 4 P’s. Despite its limitations and perhaps because of its simplicity, the use of this framework remains strong and many marketing textbooks have been organized around it.

Problems:
