Creative strategy is the fundamental factor to launch a new product in the
market. Once we done with creative strategy we have focused on Media
strategy because media nowadays, plays very significant role to promote
product in the market and also to aware customers that what actually is product.
What are its benefits? What will be its outcomes? Moreover, it is very necessary
to make impressions about products in the mind of consumers and it can only be
done by delivering effective message to consumers.
Situational Analysis
Competitive Analysis
There are many businesses which are our competitors. These businesses also
provide the services we are going to provide but still our service ASAP is
different.
The business which are already there include:
1) Alfatah
2) H.K.B
3) Hyperstar
5. 4) Metro
The Strengths of these existing retailers are that they are into this business
since much time and people know about them very well.
But still the strengths of ASAP outnumber.
Time effective
24/7
Discounted prices
Payment on delivery
Quality of service
Highly qualified employees
Key problems:
There can be questions in one’s mind that what is the meaning of this whole
new thing when it already exists?
The key problems are the launch of the service and its survival that how we
can convince people to use our service and how we will build perception of our
service in the consumers mind. We will create awareness in consumers’ minds
by advertising and promoting our service and by giving free deliveries to
consumers to have them an experience with the service and to get feedback.
The existing services are not effective in terms of time span of delivery.
Customers have to wait for more time than it really should take before getting
what they ordered. Secondly, these services are not available for 24 hour thus
if someone needs to order something from the stores he or she has to strictly
keep in mind the hours of their service. And once the hours of service are over
then people face difficulties as they can’t get there goods at the door step.
6. Key Strategic Decisions
Advertising and Promotional objectives:
The advertising objectives would be to make the audience understand that
“Flexibility at your hand, everywhere for everything of your choice”. The main
focus of the advertising would be the Brand advertising, because it will not
have to appeal to the suppliers, the institutes or any retailers but the main
consumers. The reason for choosing only the brand advertising is to establish
long term brand identity and image. ASAP will carry out a number of
advertisements through TV, Radio, Billboards, Magazines and Social Media.
Create awareness about the ASAP
To persuade people to save time by using ASAP
Target Market:
Our target market covers everyone as anybody can use ASAP but our main
focus would be teenagers and women.
Psychographic Segmentation:
We are targeting middle and upper social class.
Geographic Segmentation:
We are targeting the Urban Areas of Pakistan. First we will introduce it in the
Metropolitan cities like Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. And if it is successful
there, then we will launch it in other cities.
7. Competitive Advantage:
Our Unique selling point is that we provide quick service as each order would be delivered
within 15-20 minutes of the call received.
We have a big competitive edge that is our 24/7 delivery service which helps people to get
tension free and just call us for their needs and we would be there for them always.
Brand Image and Brand Personality:
Our brand personality is ‘Trustworthiness’ and ‘Sincerity’, because it takes care of the needs
of the people very carefully and at any time. ASAP delivers what we are asked for with
maximum quality thus making us sincere with our customers.
Price:
We would be charging an additional cost of Rupees 150 along with the total payment. We
are charging high as our service is unique and we also guarantee you that what we promise
we would deliver also.
Positioning:
We have positioned our brand here because we are providing something new in the market
which is offering a simple solution for a much concerned problem. Consumers are in the
need of this service so, by providing them high quality we can easily charge high price from
them
Use of Media
The services we are offering must be in the knowledge of our potential and
actual customers. Advertising is the best way to promote our values in our
services. It is really difficult when we are taking steps toward advertising
because certain barrier comes in the way. For this we have to follow certain
rules and norms.
8. Media Strategies
There are five main aspects of promotional mix which we are using
these are:
ADVERTISING
This is the presentation and promotion by a sponsor. These are always in
paid form; we are using certain types or forms of advertising to promote
our “ASAP” service. These include:
Print ads
We plan of making these in order to promote our services
effectively. This would create an initial insight into our service. We
are planning to include all the features of our service in our print
ads so that people can know what our service is all about. We will
give our print ads in Sunday magazine and women digests of
Express and Jang newspapers.
Radio
We plan of advertising our services on radio to reach the local
audience effectively. It is more within the reach of audiences and
our target market.
We can publicize to make people know our services instantly
through radio. We are planning to make a jingle for our services as
well in order to get more attention from our audiences. We will
advertise our product on all commercial radio channels FM89 and
FM 91.
9. Television Commercial
We plan of also promoting our services on television through
TVCs. We can here show the effectiveness of our service. This is
how it looks and even works can be portrayed. We will advertise
our service during a primetime slot when women watch television
serials the most. We are planning to go for GEO, Hum TV and
Express & Urdu TV for telecasting our TVC.
These ads would be reachable to a mass audience, so it will have
large impact on the potential customers.
Billboard
We are also promoting our services by displaying it on billboards.
In this manner the audiences we are targeting can have look at it
as many times as they will cross that particular road or come to
that particular place. It will also show where they can avail our
Service.
10. Brochures
We plan of going to make brochures for promoting our service as
many people can buy them as they are even cheaper than the
newspapers and also can be easily transported to houses free by
putting them inside a newspaper as a supplement. They are eye
catchy and so people will be more probed to avail the services
after looking the brochure.
In-store Displays
We also plan to display our services inside a store or a shop to
bring it into the eyes of the customers immediately to generate
instant buying of our services and as it is a new trend in Pakistan
11. so these displays will help us in making our customers more aware
of our services and thus they will buy more. We will display our
services at all retailing and crockery stores.
Web Page
We will go for a commercialized website for our services. In it we
will give the detail analysis of our services. People can access it
and know more about our company.
Social Media
Today it is the era of globalization so we advertise our
service by using different modern techniques and on
different social networking sites. We have made Facebook
page of our product so that most people come to know
about our service and in this way we can communicate
more effectively with our customers and provide them
information regarding new offers.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
This is when you place news about a service or a presentation of
a service in media to stimulate the service. This is paid. This can be done in many
ways. We are using certain types of them for our “ASAP”. These are:
Newspaper and Magazine Articles
We are planning to give articles regarding our service in
newspapers and different magazines. This will help to bring our service in
public eyes more effectively thus generating more sales.
12. These sources would be availed by making demonstration in front of
people that are active in environment policy making.
CORPORATE IMAGE
The corporate image of the company should be in accordance to the needs of the
potential consumers. This goal will be attained by giving ads on the TV channels that
will be able to reach maximum audience.
SPONSORSHIP
The sponsorship of different companies like HKB , ALFATAH, JALAL SONS, HYPER
STAR , METRO , Different PHARMACIES and Different leading Book Shops. This would
not only help to improve the brand’s image but also provide the company with
innovative ideas that will comply with company’s mission.
