PUBLICITY- Highly credible; Very believable; Many forms: news stories, news features, events and sponsorships, etc.; Reaches many prospects missed via other forms of promotion; Dramatizes company or product; Often the most under used element in the promotional mix; Relatively inexpensive (certainly not 'free' as many people think--there are costs involved)


Advertising:

Any paid form of non-personal communication of ideas or product in the “prime media” such as newspaper, television, billboard poster and radio etc….





Personal selling:
The sellers promote the product through their attitude, appearance and specialist product knowledge. Salespeople match the benefits of their offering to the specific needs of a client.
Sale promotion:
Providing incentives to customers or to the distribution channel to stimulate demand for a product.

The money which a buyer pays for a product is called as price of the product. This Price is the method to capture value added by a product. Consumers are often sensitive for price, discount, and additional offers. Another aspect of pricing is that expensive products are considered of good quality.

Planning:

Step 1
Research our market. Discount on baby party dresses will not be in great demand in a highly affluent area, for example. On the other hand, if your area is already saturated with expensive boutique baby party wear dress businesses, try angling for a niche – for example, offering party wears  made from earth-friendly materials using sustainable practices, or offering only party wears imported from Europe.
Step 2
Choose a location. We  want to start our baby party wear dress business in a bustling commercial area near other shops, restaurants and retail stores, according to the online article, “Starting a Bridal Shop Business.” Expect to pay steeper rents for shopping mall locations in exchange for high visibility. Because party wear dresses can be voluminous, plan for plenty of room to store and showcase baby party wears. Fit our location with flattering lighting, large dressing rooms, floor-length mirrors and comfortable seating for the bride’s entourage.


Step 3
Stock our inventory. Attend fashion shows to decide what types of party wears dresses you’ll stock for the business, ordering from the designer or manufacturer directly to save costs. You can also order from online suppliers and wholesale bridal catalogues.
As we have improved our websites to get connected with the people who are surfing online.

Step 4
Market your business. Target potential consumers by reading the newspaper’s engagement notices and sending congratulatory notes when possible. Reserve tables at bridal expos and bring your most attractive dresses, or develop niche offerings, such as baby party wear dresses for storage, that competitors don’t yet offer.

Plan to extend consumer product lifecycle:


The Product Life Cycle

A product's life cycle (PLC) can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. If a curve is drawn showing product revenue over time, it may take one of many different shapes, an example of which is shown below:

Product Life Cycle Curve



The life cycle concept may apply to a brand or to a category of product. Its duration may be as short as a few months for a fad item or a century or more for product categories such as the gasoline-powered automobile.

Product development is the incubation stage of the product life cycle. There are no sales and the firm prepares to introduce the product. As the product progresses through its life cycle, changes in the marketing mix usually are required in order to adjust to the evolving challenges and opportunities.

I)                   Product:   During the growth stage, the goal is to gain consumer preference and increase sales. The marketing mix may be modified as follows:
·         Product - New product features and packaging options; improvement of product quality.
·         Price - Maintained at a high level if demand is high, or reduced to capture additional customers.
·         Distribution - Distribution becomes more intensive. Trade discounts are minimal if resellers show a strong interest in the product.
·         Promotion - Increased advertising to build brand preference.
·          

 

II)                Maturity Stage

The maturity stage is the most profitable. While sales continue to increase into this stage, they do so at a slower pace. Because brand awareness is strong, advertising expenditures will be reduced. Competition may result in decreased market share and/or prices. The competing products may be very similar at this point, increasing the difficulty of differentiating the product. The firm places effort into encouraging competitors' customers to switch, increasing usage per customer, and converting non-users into customers. Sales promotions may be offered to encourage retailers to give the product more shelf space over competing products.
During the maturity stage, the primary goal is to maintain market share and extend the product life cycle. Marketing mix decisions may include:

·         Product - Modifications are made and features are added in order to differentiate the product from competing products that may have been introduced.
·         Price - Possible price reductions in response to competition while avoiding a price war.
·         Distribution - New distribution channels and incentives to resellers in order to avoid losing shelf space.
·         Promotion - Emphasis on differentiation and building of brand loyalty. Incentives to get competitors' customers to switch.

III)             Extension
These extend the life of the product before it goes into decline.  Again businesses use marketing techniques to improve sales.  Examples of the techniques are:
  • Advertising – try to gain a new audience or remind the current audience
  • Price reduction – more attractive to customers
  • Adding value – add new features to the current product, e.g. video messaging on mobile phones

  • Explore new markets – try selling abroad
  • New packaging – brightening up old packaging, or subtle changes such as putting crisps in foil packets or Seventies music compilations
i-                    We have two places to advertisement such as TV media-Twice per year & Bill board over the city.
ii-                  The reduction of price for our product won’t be so good but we can have it on some different occation where we can get more consumer for our product.




FeedBacks of Consumer about our Product:

1.      Aminul Haque:

2.      Mrs.Anna:

Conclusion:
I want to say it that product development and marketing is the core part of marketing. Before this assignment I did not have enough idea about this side like product development ,marketing ,product positioning  etc….but after completing this assignment I have small idea about this topic. I try to learn so many important topics which help in my future career.
