SWOT Analysis:
The Care has powerful strength to build strong customer relationship. Because of less
competitor. But our major weakness is lack of brand awareness and features benefits. The major
opportunity is a high demand of gripe water to eliminate the problem of mothers. Our major
threats may be failure if the classes we target not accept the brand.
(Reference: 3A
SWOT Analysis Fig 1.3
Ref: http://www.gliffy.com/uses/swot-analysis-software/
Strengths:
Less Competition : Care is a leading company. We have no close competitor in
market to target the market that we targeted. Since there is high demand in market so
this will help us generate revenue
Knows Child better: This short statement defines our goals that we only baby
market and we are conscious about their health as mothers are.
Educated staff: we have educated staff and management those who are actively
providing their effort to add value in our product to make it unique from competitor.
Marketing Plan

High demand in Elite and Middle class: As we all know that the mothers from
Elite/Middle class are very conscious about their children. They will easily adopt our
brand.
Weaknesses:
Lack of Brand Awareness: Since Care is new in market so the customer of product
is unaware from the benefits and quality of Care.
Only One Size Bottle: We are dealing in only one size bottle so it becomes our
weakness because customer may require 1 liter. Or 250 ml bottle.
Opportunities:
Expansion in new Market: After getting success in current market can motivate us
to add product portfolio in our product line or develop new market.
Revenue generation: At initial stages the revenue may less but as for as our product
make an distinctive image in the mind of customer may increase our revenue
generation.
Threats:
New In Market : As care new in market it is major threat for care if the target market
do not post purchase or give feedback about product, like if the customer do not
accept the brand so this will be issue for care.
Easy Entrance for competitor: There is no barrier and no restriction for competitor
to enter in market so this is also threats for Care to lose the Market share.
Objectives:
To be the best and quality brand in Pakistan.
To meet the need and requirements of consumers.
To capture the desired market share from competitors.
To do well into the life of Children and consumers.

To be the number one company of Pakistan.
Mission:
Care is the world’s leading company. Our mission of “knows child’s better” is to provide
customer (Mothers)/ consumer (Child) with the best and quality product. And to make them
aware that we care about your child and their health.
Marketing Strategy:
Care marketing strategy is based upon the positioning itself and differentiating itself in market.
Care will Position itself in market as an aggressive, innovative company product that deliver the
market high quality product to meet the need of customer. Our primary customer target is Middle
and elite class people who are careful about their children.
1. Positioning: we are positioning the care as quality product for kids by adding and
delivering the desired value to our customer.
2. Pricing Strategy: The Care gripe water will introduce at Rs. 85 /- wholesaler and Rs 99
/- retail price per unit. We are willing to reduce the price by launching or adding product
to our product line later. The price is reflecting a strategy of taking share from “Naunehal
Gripe Water”.
3. Marketing Communication Strategy: Our Marketing Communication Strategy fully
depicts that we will hire educated salesman to motivate the customer to buy our product
and take benefit from our product.
4. We are just dealing with only one size of bottle which may be fulfill the need of few
people in market while some requires large and some requires small bottle which may be
an issue for company so after launching and getting the feedback from customer it must
to change the size of the bottle maximum to 1 liter. Minimum to 250 ml bottle.
To create customer value it is must to fulfill the need of customer as they want so
because we are new in market and we have less competition in market so if we success in
market this will motivate us to add more product line to our product portfolio.

Budget:
We are Purifying water with many beneficial steps as per Reference 6A since it cost high
to us at Rs 50/- per bottle. We have retail priced it at 99/- because of the expenses of
transportation or supplier charges etc. it costs to us at 63/- per unit. So we are gaining
very less margin of Rs 22/- per Unit.
As per Market survey we concluded the first month expected unit sold is 1000 units
which may gives us a expected total cost of
1000 x 63= 63,000
And the expected Revenue may be for the first month will be
1000 x 85=85,000
And the expected profit for the first month is
1000 x 22=22,000 (Reference: 6A)
Controls: we have clear motive and clear strategy for monitoring the performance of
each and every person involving manufacturing process.
because we are new in market we want to differentiate and position ourselves in the mind
of customers by delivering quality product.
this will enable us to react very quickly in correcting any problems that may occur.
