Description of Business:

Executive Summary
Our project is based on wet facial tissue, and we have our shop which is located in Gulshan Tejgaon Link Road. This is a partnership business, and we have five partners each having 20% share. Our business is partnership business under
partnership act of 1932. This business is now a very profitable business in Bangladesh. After analyzing the market, we found that we will be successful in undertaking the business. Future outlook and trend of this business is very bright. We have done the SWOT analysis and have identified the potential possible benefits and disadvantages of Prime tissue. For Prime Tissue we also have carefully analyzed the PEST analysis through the industrial forecasting system. To make-sure that we top the chart in beating our competitors and for maximizing customer satisfaction and our tissue sales with a reasonable price. In our marketing plan we basically emphasized on the right pricing so that customers can easily bye and use it. We have a very reliable source of supplier who supplies tissue according to our demands and according to customer’s choice and catering. Prime Tissue promotes and advertises its tissue through the mass media. Our business comprises of lots of risk, if we face product damage then it will be an insurmountable loss for our business.
Towards the end of this report, the financial analysis of this firm is shown and the amazing figure shows that in the first year we will make profit which will be (TK.
9,46,660) of the operating expenses, followed by (Tk. 23,93,237) in the second year and
(Tk. 38,39,814) in the third year. We intend to work very hard to achieve these figures and hopefully it will prosper and make an impact in the market.

Future outlook and trends:
We think that our product namely “Prime Tissue” has got a good future potential in the Bangladeshi Market. Firstly there are no other competitors for producing wet face wipes currently. Hence we will be operating at a niche scale. Also the
demand for wet face wipes will always be high in a tropical and humid climate such as that of Bangladesh. So all in all we are quite confident that that our product has a bright and prospective future. The product would be made available for mass consumption. Since the product pricing will be almost equivalent to that of a regular tissue paper pack we think that the popularity of our product will increase firstly as a alternative for regular tissue papers and finally as a replacement for regular tissue paper.
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
Current Market Leader: The whole idea of Wet Facial tissue is first introduced in Bangladesh by Prime in 2008. We will be operating our production as a monopoly organization in Bangladesh until new competitor is coming.
Cost benefit: Our product is comparatively cheap than imported wet tissue. Because of high import duty on the imported wet tissue about 200%.
Technology: Prime tissue manufacturing plant makes use of imported and local raw material, and a modern Chinese production technology. This technology and the same brand of plant are being used in many parts of the world, including countries in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and the Americas.
Operation and maintenance by highly skilled and trained personnel: Prime provides high experienced workers and quality inspector, who are working hard to maintain the quality of the product.

Valuing Customers: Around 85% of Bangladeshi people have limited income, so they have limited budget to pay for personal items. Considering these customers’ this limitation in expenditure Prime has introduced mini packs (only 1 tissue) of their products so that customer can maintain their expense and buy good products. This is unique for the working class people
because Prime has managed to serve its mini tissue packs in every retailer stores.
Comparing with the 1st world: Manufactured products comparable to those which are being produced in the developed countries like UK, USA, China, UAE and Canada
Weather: Bangladeshi weather is perfect for the wet facial tissue. In the summer season, we will be able to sell our product at huge amount.
Weakness:
Lack of information: As this is a new kind of product in Bangladesh people do not have much information about it. So to inform people we have to spend lots money for informative advertising.
Week Distribution Channel: we are a new wet tissue manufacture; therefore, we do not create a strong distribution channel in Bangladesh at the starting time. So our product is not available at all places in Bangladesh.
Price: the wet tissue price is comparably high than other normal tissue paper. Therefore a lot of people can not buy the tissue at wish.
Financial Position: Prime is a new tissue manufacture, so their internal financial position is not so strong.
Opportunities:
Increasing demand for wet tissue products: As the tissue market is growing, there is an increasing demand for wet tissue of facial & hygienic tissue. Again the major
G
T-3

cities environments are getting polluted significantly. Because of that people are looking for products with more hygiene & safety.
Other manufacturer’s incapability in meeting the market demand: Other manufacturer tissue products are not
maintaining a satisfying quality. For that it is a great opportunity for Prime to introduce it wet tissue product which contains quality that promises to satisfy customers.
New sensation for working class people: As now-a-days people are getting more involved in field work, the wet tissue would be a sensation for the field working people. The key ingredient Ag++ ion antibacterial can be used for facial purpose. Therefore it’s going to be useful for various business fields like beauty parlors, hotels, transportation.
Threats:
The exchange rate: The exchange rate fluctuates which affects the company as most of the raw materials have to be imported.
The type of product: As wet tissue consists of moisturizer, some people may not find it comfortable to use it. Again the ingredients that are being used to make the product there are some controversial issues about them. For that customer might get scared. Wet tissue is comfortable to use in the warm season, there for the product is less useful in the cold weather.
Increased competition: More companies want to enter in the wet tissue market with more attractive features. Also some foreign country wet tissue products are also trying to catch the market which is a big threat for Prime.
M

Limited buying capability of Bangladeshi people: Per head income of Bangladeshi people is very low and it would be hard for Prime to hold on to its customers with the present pricing strategy of the wet tissue product.
Downward pressure on pricing: Increasing competition is
pushing the tissue markets to lower its price down. Still our objectives to serve people with better quality and lower price remains the same, as our company is for the people and for the country. The Recent economic condition in Bangladesh has reduced the buying capability of the customers and as well as the confidence to spend. This is an uncontrollable factor for Prime
Industry and Market Forecast:
Since on the initial stage we would be operating at a niche scale we will aim for a profit margin of at least Tk 0.5 per face wipe. We can then allocate funds to further promote our products in order to built a strong brand equity and brand loyalty. All these factors taken together would help prepare us for offering a more competitive price to counter other competitors entering the market without greatly affecting our overhead revenue or promoting our product
PEST Analysis:
Through the help of PEST analysis we will try to understand the industrial forecast better.
PEST analysis will examine the external tissue environment and the global factors that are affecting the tissue owners all over the city. It usually provides a quick and visual representation of the external pressures that tissue owners are facing, and the possible constraints on the different selling strategy they are undertaking.
Political
This is concerned with how political developments, regionally, nationally, and internationally have affected the tissue business. Now the government tax on tissue, this has been a major potential barrier with regards to sales.

EconomicalThis involves the analysis of a variety of economic factors and their effect on tissue business. We are expecting to increase our sales since our target markets have been very low price tissue, so that everyone can buy it and use it simply. We are also trying
to reduce our variable cost so that we can achieve a larger profit margin.
Social
Prime Tissue is very socially responsible, since we try to buy user-friendly In Bangladesh people are appreciating the introduction of new tissue from abroad and now a new age of tissue culture is gaining prominent responses from customers. People have high need of tissue and therefore it has been experiencing the maximum sales in the tissue market of Bangladesh.
Analysis of Competitors:
As mentioned before we would firstly be operating at a niche scale. Hence when we initially enter the market we would not be having any true competitors (in terms of providing the same product). However the closest competition we would be facing will be from other regular tissue paper manufacturers such as Boshundhora Group who are an already established brand name in the Bangladeshi market in terms of providing quality products.
Market Segmentation:
“Prime Tissue” face wipes will be made available for mass consumption. We believe that our pricing strategy is our biggest strength. The product will be priced in such a way that it will be affordable by everybody and anybody who uses a tissue paper. As per our motto “Available to all and affordable by all” we will target the mass population. However a large portion of our target customers will be people with middle class to upper middle class ideology. For example an office executive finds the “Prime Tissue” fresh face wipe to be a refreshing welcome after a hard day of work in the tropical heat. Another vital part of our target market segment would be the female members of the society who always like to keep a face wipe or two in handy to look

Physical elements of the product:
Packaging: The product will come in two different kinds of Packages. First, there will be single pack for individual. Each pack will contain one tissue paper. Second, will be bundle of single pack for family. Here we will tie up 10 single pack and reduce the price.
Color: The color of the tissue will be white, pink, green, and blue. The color of the tissue will be white for the family pack. As research has shown that colorful things attract people (male & female whose are buy a single pack). Therefore the color of single pack will be these four colors.
Smell: The product will have Three kinds of fragrance one is rose flowers, second is lemon another is sophisticated.
Size of business
Normally, the size of the business varies in terms of personnel strength and also initial capital. Business having staff between 500-10000, is classified as large business, 50-500 persons as medium business and 5-50 as small business. Prime Tissue can be termed as a Small sized enterprise. As far as the investment is concerned, an initial outlay of Tk. 75 lack is required. Therefore, the firm can still be referred to as a small sized enterprise. . Another way we can say that it is a small type of business which is going to be started by five entrepreneurs all together.

major factor affecting consumer choice. Therefore when we determined our product price, we had considered two things one is marketing perspective and other is financing perspective. In the financing perspective, first of all we find the require rate of return which is combination of risk free rate, inflation rate and business risk. After then, we get 36.5% as our require rate
of return. Next, we determined our cost of each tissue paper which is 4.35 for 1st year,
3.94 for 2nd year, and 3.74 for 3rd year. Finally we charge require rate of return on the
cost price and get our appropriate sale price. In marketing point of view, we should set a price which will be less than the price is offered by our competitor. In this stage, we are happy because of our price is cheaper than other competitor’s product price.
Distribution:
Our channel policy is to use selective distribution to have Prime wet tissue sold through all the well-known markets and departmental stores. During the first year we will add channel partners until we have coverage in all the majors market and super stores in the major cities of Bangladesh. In support of the channel partners of Prime, it will provide demonstration products, detailed specification handouts, and color photos and displays featuring the product. Prime will also arrange special trade term for retailers that place volume orders.
Prime will distribute its products through a network of select store and non-store retailers in the top 40 Bangladeshi markets. Among them 22 major markets in Dhaka city and the rest of the markets are in the whole country.
Among the most important channel partners being contacted are: 1. Convenient stores

Promotion:
Promotion means communicating the product/service to the prospective customers/clients. The promotion mix for a firm refers to the specific and appropriate blend of different promotional techniques such as advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling, and direct marketing.
Prime will spend almost 4, 00,000 taka only in its first year of operations to build a brand and a loyal customer base. Increasing the promotional cost roughly 3, 00,000 per year to increased sales revenue.
Promotional Tactics:
At first we needs to make people aware about the new product’s usefulness, the technology and the ingredients that Prime is using so we need to elaborate the benefits of the technology rather than the features in our advertise.
Flyer: We will reinforce our brand name and the main point of Product differentiation through flyers in prominent places as mentioned earlier because an appropriate advertisement can help to reach prospective customers before sale our product. It will also help to develop brand awareness and communicate various distinct and differential features about our products.
Advertisement: The media we will use to promote our product is radio, television, newspaper and billboard. As the product is new for the people of Bangladesh at the

The advertisement of newspaper will come only in the edition of division cities. We will give advertisement only in the billboard of division’s city. For the people of rural area, we will give radio advertisement and also sponsor a musical program per week.
Sales promotion: For the publicity of the product we have made a deal with three mobile companies Grameen phone, Aktel and Banglalink that we will give a free pack of wet tissue with every pre paid card of three hundred and six hundred taka.
Public relation: After reaching the local market Prime needs to build up relation with the print media. They can choose the local newspaper journalists to promote Prime. Prime should invite them into a press conference or into a dinner and through them they will convey the product benefit to the customers.
PowerPoint: A PowerPoint presentation will be created, which will incorporate information about the company, the reach and the product that we are able to produce. It is for our foreign clients who are interested to import our product in their country.
Wed site: We can inform detail about our products to customer and foreign customer by using our official web site.

have to be in pressure. Every member of our organization is related with other business and services so partnership is perfect choice for forming our organization. Every partner own 20 % share of the organization. The capital will be invested by this percentage of share. Profit also distributed by this percentage. Debt is also repaid by this 20% of share percentage.
Though loan will take for the organization but the loan is repaid by this percentage. The business will not be dissolved with the death of any owner. Every partner will have complete freedom to sell or transfer his part of the business within the organization. But if anyone wants to sell his share to the outside of the organization then he must be needed to permission of other partner of the organization. Otherwise he can not do it. Any partners able to take a minor decision of his department without inform other except major decision.
Identification of Partners:
We are university friends. We know each other for several years. We have good understanding and trust in each other. So in the last year of B.B.A degree we decide to be entrepreneur. Samsuszoha Hoque S.M.Ashraful Bari M Mizanur Rahman M.Eusha Hossain Shawn Roy
Authority of Principle:
Authority of principle is the most important feature of partnership. It states that persons carrying on business in partnership are agents as well as principals. The business of a firm is carried on by all or by any one or more of them on behalf of all. Everybody has the authority to act on behalf of all and can, by his actions, bind all the partners of the firm. Each partner is the agent of the others in all matter connected with the business of partnership. First of all each partners has equal power of authority and control of business. All the partners are member of the board of directors. According to all partners decision we appoint a manager to run our
