Explanation of Media Choice
Explanation of Media Choice
Different Media Choice:
Advertising is pivotal to the success of any new product or service. To make it most
effective Power Plus will have to use a combination of different media to reach the
highest percentage of audience. The combination would include:
Electronic Media
Print media
Press Conference
Electronic Media:
Electronic media is one of the vital elements to establish a brand. Mainly TV Ad is use
entertainment and easy way to reach the actual message to the customer group. Power
Plus is going to start its own tv ad soon and already 50% work has done.
Print Media:
Most of the people have the habit of going through some kind of newspaper or
magazine. So, putting ads in there would definitely make them aware of Power Pluss
new offer. Also, people related to the students, for example, parents, can also inform the
students about the new offer once they come across the adverts. Moreover, the adverts
would be useful for early teens as their parents still play a major role in their purchase
decisions. So, print media would facilitate them and their parents.
The usage of print media will help Power Plus to create desired level of brand recall
among the target audience.

Different print media:
1. Newspaper:
Newspapers have a high credibility. It is a permanent record and has a reasonable cost.
Advertisements would be put up in the most selling newspapers of the country, such as
Prothom Alo, The Daily star, Independent, and Ittefak. An advertisement in a newspaper
has more flexibility compared to a TVC as people can read a newspaper at any time of
the day. A person can sit down with a newspaper whenever he chooses. So, with
newspaper we are always staying connected with people.
Those who do not watch TV may read the newspaper and wherever there no TVs,
newspapers are even found in there. So, brand awareness can be created thorough
newspaper
2. Magazine: Magazines are attractive to people of all ages. Teenagers and young adults
have special magazines that are especially designed for them. For example, Computer
Bartan Computer Jogoth etc and advertisements in the named magazines thus can reach
a specified group of people and thus cost effective as money is not being spent on the
purpose of communication on people who does not belong to the target audience.
3. Flyers: Flyers will be distributed to the direct customers who are the actual target
audience. It will be distributed at some shopping center and places where people 34rvisit
frequently.
4. Billboards: The easiest and the cheapest way to catch the attention of the moving
people of the city. It will be hung at the busiest of roads and streets, where people travel
by a lot. Such places could be the following:
Mohakhali flyover area,
Gulshan Avenue,
Dhaka Air Port Road

Trade discounts:
Power Plus would give handsome discounts to the dealers/direct customer buying the new
products right after its launch.
Traders are very important in Bangladeshi market. They can easily convince a buyer at the
point of purchase. Thus the traders are happy with our products. It is required because about
a new product people know little and they would be cautious about whether they should
invest or not. Therefore, the roles that traders play will be highly valuable and we want the
traders to be with us because their active part will give us success.
Relevance: The traders are very important part of our campaign. Through this trade promotion
we would show that we value their support and service. This will make the distributors feel better.
Traders are influential people. Their faith in the company will help Power Plus to attain extra
and fast volume that they desire. The product is going to be introduced into the market on
the third of May. Therefore, all the authorized dealers must have enough SIM cards and
packages at hand. The trade discount is going to make sure that it happens.
All the advertisements will create brand recognition with the consumers.
Marketing Plan (SWOT ANALYSIS):
Marketing analysis of the Macro Environment:
A. Demographic: Our target audience is the middle class income people; If the number of the
consumer increases per household the potential purchasers would increase too.
B. Political: Present government has a vision that is digital Bangladesh by 2020. Governmenthas a plan to implement their planning one by one to reach our Bangladesh as digital
Bangladesh.
C. Technological: If one of the competitors comes with a better technology, they will be
offering better services with more attractive pricing. It creates competition.
D. Social: Through reduced price and quality products with new advantages, users would get to
stay connected with friends and families, studies and business.
E. Economic: If the cost of living goes up drastically (inflation), we may lose the market
because the new customers will not be interested to invest their money here.
