Executive Summary
M. M. Ispahani Limited is a well reputed company in Bangladesh. It is operating businesses
since 1820. The company mostly renowned for famous “Isphanni Mirzapore Tea” brand across
the country. Now it is alarming for the company in Tea business competitors are capturing the
market share position significantly especially in Tea Stall market. For the purpose of knowing
the position of Ispahani and competitors a survey has happened to figure out reason behind
Ispahani’s failure.
According to survey it has found different patterns of information of Tea Stall market scenario to
be analyzed. It has been found how much Tea Stalls are using branded Tea, amount of their daily
consumption, source of purchasing Tea (Leaf) respectively. This study also shows Tea Stall
brand awareness which Tea brand name comes first on their mind and here Ispahani has stood
top as expected. In purchasing scenario Ispahani has found also highest brand loyalty percentage
among the competitive brands including the duration. The fact is it has lost many of Tea Stall
customers due to quality failure, price affordability etc.
Though the brand Ispahani has an intensive distribution network, a significant number of Tea
Stall claimed that they are unsatisfied with Ispahani due to unavailability and it forces them to go
for another brand. This report suggests a few reason of brand unavailability as recommendation
to the company. In loosing customer loyalty segment Ispahani has lost much than the
competitors. In Dhaka city Tea Stall market, Seylon (from Abul Khayer Group of Companies) is
competing Ispahani most ferociously. A competitively less price than Ispahani makes Seylon
more profitable to Tea Stalls. It also found price is not the first concern of that Tea Stalls to
consider the attribute of a Tea brand. They mainly go for quality sustainability what kind Tea
they are using in the shop. General people do care less about the brand in Tea Stall what brand
actually they are drinking and here it totally depends on the Tea Stall Owner.
To enhance Tea sales volume the Tea Stalls were asked to say about promotional expectations
that they think needed. It found that they want Tea equipment mostly from the Tea
manufacturers. They also suggested the reasons behind Ispahani’s failure. According to Tea Stall
observation and findings this report tries to recommend some suggestions to face the challenges
of competitors by filling the gap what is actually needed by the Tea Stalls.

CHAPTER

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
Internship is considered as an important experience before having permanent job. To have a
BBA degree of Business Administration it is mandatory for doing 12 weeks internship with a
precise report as considering 6 credit hours in 12th
semester. This report is supposed to submit to
University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh under the supervision of a lecturer of ULAB School of
Business through ULAB Career Services Center. This report is made within the internship period
started from September 25th
2014. It is also a great opportunity to work with professionals where
I can relate my theoretical knowledge with organizational practices. In my entire bachelor
program I did many projects on market based research, social research and few environmental
migration researches through a well defined problem and these influenced to involve in
researching for Ispahani’s tea market. This is a market research report about market scenario of
Ispahani TEA and competitors in Hot Tea Stall (HTS) where I was assigned to learn and assist
my organization team in Business Development department (Research and Planning), M. M.
Ispahani Limited. The company divides their whole tea market in 22 divisions within 6
categories of selling point (categorized shop) gradually Departmental Store (DS), Stationary
(STN), General Store (GS), Confectionary Store (CS), Hotel-Restaurant-Canteen (HORECA),
and Hot Tea Stall (HTS). I was assigned in their Analysis of Tea Market Scenario through
nationwide survey (according to Ispahani’s Divisional Market).Being influenced by my intern
organization, I took Hot Tea Stall market scenario survey in Dhaka city (includes Ispahani’s 3
divisions) as my convenience to work. In this organization I have enjoyed lots to work and to
know so many new things for the first time. To work in a sound environment I have gone
through other disciplinary works which have enriched my overall organizational experience.
Here below I am submitting a report as internship requirement of getting BBA degree that
includes an overview of the intern organization and the explanation of the report theme I am
supposed to carry out during the internship session.
12. Page | 12
1.2. Statement of the Problem
Tea is a common healthy drink all over the world from the ancient time. People used to drink
Tea regularly as their one of daily habits. M. M. Ispahani Limited particularly renowned for their
Tea brand through out the nation. It is running Tea business for many years as a giant market
player from the beginning. Ispahani holds 50% of branded Tea and 80% of Tea Bag market share
of the industry overall. To do the business the company is facing severe competition by other
market players significantly in metropolitan city like Dhaka, Chittagong, Comilla, and Sylhet.
The competitive brands are also from country’s reputed group of companies. For that it has been
losing its market share in both household and tea stall consumption pattern. Generally a problem
refers the distance between expectation and reality. Problem of Ispahani Tea is here losing
market share in Hot Tea Stall market significantly in city area. Why Ispahani Tea is not able to
have the expected percentage of market share is defined here as a problem. To identify the
factors of failure has identified so many problems to be faced. Here the problems those are made
me interested to do this report for enquiring the factors behind the market positioning are given
below.
Due to excessive competition Ispahani Tea is losing its market share and here my task is
to figure out the key factors of losing and advantages provided by competitors.
Having a great brand value here quality failure doesn’t provide it leverage as expected.
Most of the tea in Hot Tea Stall (HTS) drinkers do less care about what brand they are
drinking and its totally depends on tea seller willingness.
Though Ispahani follows intensive distribution channel strategy but the loophole
weakness in distribution arrangement gives opportunity to competitor’s to have growth
etc. and this is one of the major concerns of the company meeting the challenge for
capturing that lost market.
Being a reputed Tea brand Ispahani adds a premium price to its product where the
competitive brands are sold out through comparatively low price than Ispahani and that
makes them competent having increased growth especially for some selective brands like
Seylon, Taaza etc.
13. Page | 13
Competitors are booming highly in city area because of consumer awareness and huge
tea consumption rate. Generally a city area has a huge number of tea stall then country
area and here competitors start first to capture the market rapidly.
1.3. Objectives of the Study
This study is basically conducting for the brand positioning of Ispahani Tea and to know a brief
of competitor’s advantage and the strategy they are following. The given objectives are proposed
in the conception of this research. The paper aims to clarify the scenario behind Ispahani’s
limitation to compete the market (Hot Tea Stall) and needs to be fulfilled to keep sustainability.
a) Primary (or Academic) Objective: The primary objective of the study is to complete the
partial requirement of the awarding of the BBA degree from ULAB School of Business,
University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh.
b) Secondary (or Study/Research) Objective: Specific objectives proposed in this report
materials are explained below:
i. To make an overview of overall brand analysis of Ispahani Tea in Dhaka
city with an emphasis on the organizational impact.
ii. To present the organizational and necessity of consumer analysis,
marketing procedure etc.
iii. To make a review of the literature related to the functions or activities of
marketing communication in general.
iv. To explore the overall significances of marketing (Ispahani’s Brand
Awareness).
v. To make recommendations for building a business friendly environment.
1.4. Significance of the Study
Tea is used to drink as a healthy beverage in our daily life. It has become an integral part of our
life since British colonial era. History says that Tea was first originated in ancient China to be
refreshed while tiredness arises. Tea itself contains caffeine which revives us to wake up and get
ready for working. This study is all about the market scenario of Ispahani’s brand positioning in
Dhaka city tea stalls which are considered as a biggest tea market for Ispahani Tea Department.
Significance refers logic behind the report making as its necessity to face the challenges and the
14. Page | 14
opportunity for filling the gap. Tea branding trend changes rapidly. People take different types of
tea like Organic/Herbal Tea, Cold Tea, Ready Tea etc. In Hot Tea Stall consumer and seller
mostly consider quality tea to have. Here quality refers the nature and combination of taste, smell
and liquor. A significant percentage of Tea Stall owners considers price of the tea which also
secured their profit. In case of Ispahani’s market failure (in market share) it is important to know
the reason why existing and potential markets are shifting to competitors, the strategies lead Tea
Stall to be loyal. It is also important for my study to know what amounts (size of consumption)
of Tea Stall owners are using Ispahani brand as well as competitor’s brand. It is found that city
edge dwellers are no aware care about what brand tea they are drinking. Tea seller decides the
Tea brand by his own will or benefit. And those city edge tea sellers found in using locally
branded cheap tea to serve in a bulky amount regularly. Here some of most significances of the
study are given below.
Hot Tea Stall owner wants quality Tea which sustains long lasted liquor in continuous
boiling. One of the competitive brands serves Tea to Hot Tea Stall in comparatively
cheap rate and that’s the issue to figure out how it happens. That particular competitive
brand is grabbing the Ispahani’s potential market day by day. Others brands are also
doing well and here the study gives importance how they (competitors) are reaching to
Tea Stall and capturing the market especially in Dhaka City.
This study is also important for uncovering the influencing factors behind Tea Stall
success by how competitors are doing in strategy implementation. The study is designed
to take relevant information from those surveyed Hot Tea Stall to compare Ispahani’s
market position (in HTS) with others brands as well as local tea.
Ispahani serving the nation by Tea for many years. Brand awareness of Ispahani Tea is
much higher than any other brand. When people think about Tea Ispahani comes first on
their mind. Ispahani here as a Tea brand has become a generic (category) name through
the nation but because of competitor’s growth people are getting used to choose option
or switching into another brand where they can protect buyer/consumer right best. Hot
Tea Stall owner only looks for their best profit than a good brand image. How much
brand awareness is increasing or decreasing this study is supposed show an overall
scenario of Tea market position for Ispahani’s successful Tea brands.
15. Page | 15
This study is helpful to identify the reason behind switching pattern of Hot Tea Stall
owner into different competitive brands and why and whom they switched in scale of
brand loyalty in a time frame. It is found customers like hard-core loyal have switched
into another brand from Ispahani either for quality dissatisfaction or pricing. Quality and
price play a great role to select a Tea brand for Hot Tea Stall owners but there something
else that are also considered as the major influencers behind Tea brand selection
respectively.
1.5. Literature Review
Tea trading considered as one of the oldest industries in South Asia. Several studies are made by
the researchers in different perspectives. Here Tea Stall market analysis is much unique than that
studies. To figure out the market scenario for Tea Stall market is really rare to find in sources
available. Apparently, the study titled “AN EMPERICAL SUDY TO FIND OUT THE
OPTIMAL PRICE FOR HOT TEA SHOP CONSUMED TEA AND MEASURING THE
VALUE FOR MONEY PERCEPTION (VFM INDEXING) OF MIRZAPORE BOP by Umme
Salma, year 2008” matches with Hot Tea Stall market research. The theme of this study is all
about price sensitivity for an “Ideal Tea” measured through Value for Money (VFM) Indexing of
branded Mirzapore BOP Tea. It shows the psychological gap between value of price and value of
brand that finally recommends the price reduction of the brand perceived.
This study has contributed in Hot Tea Stall market scenario analysis precisely. The two of
studies are also helpful for further research upcoming. In a particular field like Tea marketing
much study will enrich the industry competitive.
1.6. Basic Concepts of Marketing
Basic concepts of marketing help an employee in the organization to relate easily what market
and sales activities company going to perform. From the early production concept business arena
has entered into marketing concept through a remarkable evolution to be survived. This makes a
company enable to fight with competitive forces using best potential. Here in below some
concepts are given as my own understanding how I can relate these terms in real life both
theoretically and practically.

Group of Industries), HRC (from HRC Products Limited), Tetley (marketed by ACI Limited in a
joint venture with Tata Group), Danish (from Partex-Star Group), Shaw-Wallace (from Shaw-
Wallace Bangladesh Limited), Pusti (from T. K. Group of Companies), Muskan (from S. A.
Group of Industries) and Finlay (from The Consolidated Tea and Lands Company Bangladesh
Limited) are the most branded Tea competitors in the market. In recent years only Seylon is
competing Ispahani Tea brands in city market in an increased growth rate. In my survey it is also
notable capturing of Seylon marketing especially at Hot Tea Stall market in Dhaka city. Some of
the competitors are doing well in cities or any particular locality but an intensive strong
distribution channel strategy has made Ispahani Tea brands undefeated.
In Textile section, Pahartali Textile & Hosiery Mills (PTHM) faces severe competitions in the
relevant industry. In this industry other market players like Beximco, Square, Badsha, and Desh

various range of cotton yarn supply and it is considered as one of the profitable unit for Ispahani.
Ispahani Foods Limited is a developing food item manufacturer of the group. Here competitors
like Square Food & Beverage Limited, Akij Food & Beverage Limited, Pran-RFL Group,
Bombay Sweets etc. are the main market leaders among food and beverage industry. In
24. Page | 24
comparison of competitors success Ispahani Foods Limited can be considered as question
marked unit in order to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix.
In Agro division, Ispahani Agro Limited (IAL) faces severe competitions by well established
market players. Here IAL has to face competitors like Supreme Seeds, United Seeds, Petrocam,

As a group Ispahani competes with other conglomerates by diversification of many units of
business. Giant like Unilever, Beximco, ACI, AFBL, Square etc. have made the industry much
competitive than earliest booming period. In only Tea sector Ispahani does the Tea marketing as

3. INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES
Getting offer from M. M. Ispahani Limited as an intern was really an honor for me. After
interviewing I joined there one day later. In order to letter of placement, they had assigned me to
contribute in several Ad-hoc studies, particularly to be extensively involved with the study on
“Analysis of Market Scenario (Hot Tea Stall) of Ispahani Tea and Competitors”. During my
internship period I did different types of work in several departments. I have worked in Business
Development, Agro Department, Supply Chain Department, and their Textile unit Pahartali

First day at my intern organization was a remarkable day of my life. After entering into
Ispahani’s office their one of executives of Business Development greeted me with affable
hospitality. He (the Executive) introduced me with the responsible figures of the house and
brought to a desk to work. Then I had assigned for a task to coding the serial number of survey
papers. Ispahani Public School and College is Ispahani’s one of the reputed educational institute
across the country. Every year Business Development Department is responsible to do survey its
teachers, guardians and students and evaluates the overall performance of the institute for
making better decision to be improved. The quantity of the papers was 5000 in numbers. I put a
serial code of 5 digits on survey papers consecutively. The task was done for knowing the
absolute number of the sample size and tracking each of paper after database coding entry. It
took 4 days to be completed in class and section wise receptively. Then I had carried those
papers for storing by an accessible manner. If it’s necessary to check a paper I could be able to
find the selective paper in an easiest way. This survey checking is also a tower some task to do
but working through a regular process it was become simple than to be thought and enjoyable.
27. Page | 27
3.2. Week 2nd
3.2.1. Sorting and Translating the Feedback of Guardian and Teacher of IPSC
In next following week I was called for sorting and translating the feedback of guardian and
teacher of the institute. The survey paper is written in Bengali for conveying the proper message
to the participants. In final assessment it was needed to translate in English. There were many
kinds of feedback in the papers and I had assembled them in a format. It was instructed to omit
any irrelevant feedback from the participants. They gave feedback on institute’s satisfaction,
dissatisfaction, and recommendation in written. There was another part of questionnaire on
overall performance of the institute’s in liker’s scale (ranged 1 to 5).
3.2.2. Keeping Dealer and Retailer Attendance of Ispahani Agro Limited
In this session I was called for assisting a deputy executive of their Market Development
Division. The Deputy Executive taught me how to keep dealer and retailer meeting/workshop
attendance in a structured approach I had continued that task in a regular process when the bill
and challan arrived. I kept mainly attendance for their Seeds and Biotech wings. It’s a routine job
to train and demonstrate the dealer and retailer regarding the product/brand and their usage. IAL
has several ranges of brands like Agomoni, Meghla, Ispahani 1 & 2, Duranta, Nobin (for Hybrid
Rice), Nayantara (for Hybrid Cucumber), Jalali (for Hybrid Bitter Gourd) Red Dragon (for
Watermelon), Lonka (for Hybrid Chili), Q-phero, Bactro-D, Spodolure (Pheromone for insects
killing) etc. and these are modifying year to year for better production. That’s why it requires a
routine training and meeting for those dealer and retailer of IAL. I was responsible or recording
in where (IAL Region and Territory) the session is happening and regarding on what
brand/product of the company.
3.3. Week 3rd
3.3.1. Sorting Market Observation Report of Ispahani Tea
Then I went back to my assigned department. Here another executive taught me how to sort their
market observation report transmitted by their divisional executive. Divisional executives are
responsible for visiting the market regularly. They go to markets and take some important data as
findings what recent issue is happening. They put it on a format including recommendations and
28. Page | 28
then submit it to Business Development on due time. My task here was to sort the necessary
information from that Market Observation Report (MOR) and transfer it to the responsible
executive. From this MOR I have learnt how market intelligences track the market and help to
develop the brand/product systematically.
3.3.2. Sampling Distribution and Acknowledgement of IAL Brands
To boom up Ispahani Agro Limited sales company takes many effective promotional activities to
reach the market as well as the farmers. Company takes promotions like sampling (Free) various
range of seeds and biotech items, demo signboard, PVC banner, festoon, wooden framed banner,
leaflet etc. to farmer, researcher, agriculturist and entrepreneur. IAL regional and territorial
bodies are responsible to distribute these materials where needed. I recorded the date, name,
amount, place, and person of materials taken. There was tow part of this task. First one is
Distribution and second one is Acknowledgement of the materials taken. In Distribution I
recorded the materials that sent from to company stock and in Acknowledgement I recorded the
information that is received by the authorized party. According to my record statement, the
deputy executive tracks the material where it’s received and due over the phone. It was also
regular task for me while promotion bill arrives.
3.3.3. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Here I did input data for Tea and Food item on Enterprise Resource Planning database. This ERP
database includes three statements at all. These statements are Stock Position of Tea and Food,
Customer Relievable Position, and Cash in Hand. I recorded only Stock Position of Tea and
Food item in which market these are sold out. This statement matches the balance as given
formula by format. For Tea item it is counted in KG and for Non-Tea (Food) item it is counted in
packet. Later it was submitted to the executive for uploading on final database system.
29. Page | 29
3.4. Week 4th

3.4.1. Recording Voucher/Receipt and Tracking Farmer‟s Field Day of IAL
In these weeks I was called for assisting another executive of Ispahani Agro Limited. The
executive assigned me to record the voucher/receipt statements received only. It was also much
time consumed work for me and it takes two weeks to be finished. The amount of the
voucher/receipt was 2000 copies (approximately) from the last operation year of June 2013 to
October 2014. Beside this task I did record Farmer Field Day activities by regionally as IAL
department. Farmer Field Day is basically happened to show IAL brand performance in real
time. During harvesting farmers are invited to observe the expected production where Ispahani
brands are cultivated with greatest hospitality. This makes farmers and agriculturist loyal to
Ispahani brands effectively. There are 7 regions in this department to serve as operational area
for marketing. From this IAL department I have learnt many things on agricultural marketing for
the first time.
3.5. Week 6th

It’s a regular work for Business Development executive to balance the Depot In-charge (DIC)

have continued it in most time while the responsible executives remain busy with other task and
really it’s an enjoyable work to do.

, 9th
and 10th
3.6.1. Keeping Entry on Purchase Order at Supply Chain Department
In these three weeks I went for assisting supply chain executives to input updated entry on sheet.

basically done for keeping a record statement to check the happened requisition, supply etc. In
this statement every particular within Purchase Order is recorded through serial number,
quantity, rate, vat, subtotal, and total amount of Taka. After inputting raw data on sheet
responsible executives make pivot table as balancing the statements needed.
3.6.2. Cross Checking of IPSC Survey Coding
In this week executives assigned me to do cross checking for IPSC survey on raw data to be
ensured that each of data was imputed and coded correctly for accurate result. In here I went for
checking every survey paper carefully and ensured then nothing remain missed.
3.6.3. Cross Checking of Ispahani Hot Tea Stall Survey
In these weeks executives found unusual significance level of factors (unexpected weight of the
factor’s percentage) behind Hot Tea Stall survey result and they want to do cross check figuring
out what’s wrong. Here I had noticed that in data entry session data operator did little mistake in
inputting and after correction of it the ultimate findings of the survey didn’t change significantly.
Then executives decided to break down the significant level and assigned to go to the papers to
check again what’s written on the papers by the surveyor. The survey sample size 1600 in
numbers and I went through these papers gradually and brought out the percentage
categorization as instructed. I also noticed that here categorization of the factors were not
classified wisely.
3.6.4. Coding of Ispahani Hot Tea Stall for Missed Division
5 out of 22 divisions of Ispahani had remained incomplete that Hot Tea Stall surveying because
of executive vacancy. Later their Kishoregonj division survey paper had arrived and I went for
coding it into a given format. There were more than 120 papers in that particular division and I
assembled those on a consequent way.

the declaration of transparency that the manufacturer is going to spin cotton yarn as ordered by

approval of delivery as well as evidence. There was a structured format to prepare the certificate
before checking a draft print out in every time.
3.7. Week 11th

Retailer and Dealer provide sales order to IAL regional stock and as ordered responsible supply
the goods like seeds, biotech insecticides etc. It is a routine base task for the department keeping
demand record where and how amount of goods are delivering. It also shows a sales volume
what amount of goods retailer and dealer are ordering. By this demand sheet maintenance I
learned the chain of demand supply of agro products.
3.7.2. Preparing Gifting List of IAL
Over here I prepared a sheet of gifting list of Ispahani Agro Limited. IAL provides goods
complementary to high official persons for the branding Ispahani brands. It require also a record

locality across the country. I assisted to sort out the 3G coverage of those companies as well as
their limitation. Few days later, I was assigned for arranging the office postal address of
Ispahani’s executive division wise. And then I prepared another database keeping record of

3.8. Achievement on Internship Working
At M. M. Ispahani Limited, I have learnt many things about corporate culture. The executives
are very much affable and helpful. They taught me as a teacher and the mistake I did they correct
it in well furnished manner. Each and every employee of the house is dedicated for their woks. I
have learnt the culture of respecting other and come to office on due tine and same for leaving. I
experienced here when a difficult task arrives they tries to work as a team to do their best. I have
learnt many unknown things about Microsoft Excel working, Supply Chain Management, and so
on. I performed mainly as an assistant to do the executive’s work easy. I can relate many things
here what I learned in academic term especially branding and marketing procedure of Fast
Moving Consumer Goods manufacturer. I found a little gap in job rotation of the house. If any
responsible executive remains absence then his/her work left unfinished most of the time. The
overall experience of my internship session is very positive than I thought.

4. METHODOLOGY
4.1. Sampling
The study I have chosen for internship requirement, I got authorization from my intern
supervisor and honorable organization manager to fix the sample size as well surveying this
study. By comparing my ability and limitation I have fixed to study on 150 sample size based in
Dhaka city. For internship students it is suggested to fix 30 Survey Papers (Sample Size) but to
make study strong I have decided to do more survey in different angles of Dhaka city as
increasing papers. In this study I preferred to use convenient method for sampling.
4.2. Data Collection
In performing my study, the sampling survey technique has been followed to make the report as
given instruction. The whole study has been separated in parts quantitative and qualitative. In
questionnaire only few parts are set in quantitative and most of the questionnaire has been set in
qualitative approach. The survey of the study includes both open-ended and close-ended
questionnaire format to be asked for Tea Stall Owner directly. To collect data from Tea Stall
author of the study went for surveying in Dhaka Metropolitan Area best possible. The surveyed
locations are Sadarghat, Shahbag, Dhanmondi, Mohammadpur, Banani, Mohakhali, Uttara,
Mirpur, Gabtoli, Khilgaon, and Mogbazar. Roadside and circle based (nearby) Tea Stalls were
selected to survey. Any market or bazaar area has been skipped during survey due to
interviewing an interested interviewee. Market area people are too much busy with dealing than
non profitable talking. It suits best with interviewing of road side Tea Stalls and more over these
are highly noticeable to the surveyor. At first data collection has started with an expected manner
during the survey session exchanging greetings and giving a short description of survey reason
by referencing the name of organization M. M. Ispahani Limited where the surveyor has come
from. Later the session has continued through informal friendly conversation. Here in this study
both primary and secondary data are used to build a furnished report for recommending best as
linked with set objectives.

Tea Stall sellers have asked for expecting some promotional offers from any Tea company. It
was said them to generate more sales influencing the expectations Gift, Cup set, Kettle, Cash
discount etc. Cup set is the most integral equipment for Tea Stall. Over here, having frequency of
71 times cup set has demanded 19% of total given expectations. 14% of Tea sellers have wanted

5.10.1. Time Management
Ispahani highly appreciates to do the assigned task on due time. It’s their corporate culture to be
defended on late. Being influence by this I was motivated to do internship task on regular basis.
From the beginning of supervisor introducing I have done this report as following internship
calendar when and whom to go. After submitting research proposal the things have happened
through a scheduled time management.
5.10.2. Communication Skill
Trained by executives I have been able survey Tea Stalls to conduct my study and to help them
in repot making. I have learnt how to communicate with Tea Stall sellers for collecting best data
available.
5.10.3. Relating Academic Theory with Business Practice
Working on Tea study I could relate a significant term of branding “Line Extension” studied
academically. In Ispahni’s Tea line there are many brands serving different segments of Tea
lover. According to “Line Extension” terminology Ispahani has extended several brands
following most popular “Mirzapore” across the national demographically.
5.10.4. Data Coding and Analysis
In internship organization, I have worked at their Business Development department. This
department is mainly assigned to do research and developmental study for Tea and Non-Tea
(food). It does research for Ispahani in many places. Survey sampling is also become large in
size. I have learnt how to code the factors found through survey and input data on sheet
precisely. I did go for cross checking as needed to break down in the factor to be mannered.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1. Conclusion
To be a market leader in Tea industry Ispahani has spent plenty of time and effort especially on
distribution channel to make it as intensive enough. Mostly studied Pareto principle refers 80/20
rule that 80 percent of any particular sector happens because of 20 percent of the attempt behind
market. Ispahani Tea has been followed the idea best possible to have today’s position. As a Tea
brand Ispahani has a greater brand value across the industry. Because of some mismanagement
it is losing potential market by the competitors available. This study is considered as a little
guide line to the present market scenario including few concepts to overcome the situations.
The findings can be the partial information for solving those challenges defeating the
competitors. Dhaka city is a huge market for Ispahani as a whole especially at Hot Tea Stall. The
increased population in Dhaka is being termed as prospective market for the company. More
people mean more Tea drinkers and Dhaka city gaining the same concept of urbanization.
It requires many things to make brand more successful. Often it needs extension, re-branding,
penetration, development, promotion etc to be successful as well. A few changes in strategy may
drive a brand toward success as expectation. Ispahani Tea is operating as a separate department
and has that much freedom to set the strategies needed. For many years of operation Ispahani
dealing the Tea trade where prospect arrives. Ideas are the main means to get accomplishment of
Ispahani Tea. Flexibility and adaptation thinking makes an organization to be survived. Ispahani
does the same and needs much things having utmost sustainability.
CHAPTER

47. Page | 47
6.1.1. Summary of Findings
Ispahani is trading Tea business for many years. Operations from those years, It has been
established an unrivaled distribution network across the country. In Tea brand awareness it found
leader in the market available. Tea purchasing from company distributor also refers Ispahani’s
intensive distribution channel. Tea Stalls are aware much about the brand in Dhaka city locality.
In availability, preference, and purchasing Ispahani is still positions in first. A constant growth of
competitor is capturing the market wisely. Seylon has been considered here as a close
competitive brand (threat) for Ispahani. Along with Ispahani Tea Stalls found satisfied but the
inclusion of quality failure claims. Tea Stalls never switch one brand to another frequently which
is good for the company having constant sales. In losing criteria Ispahani has lost many of
customers mainly because of quality failure and same for the competitors.
6.2. Limitations of the Study
As a student this study is conducted as a requirement for BBA degree at end of my bachelor
program. During the study many limitations happened and hinder the report with drawbacks.
Some of major limitations are described below.
This report is supposed to be made within 3 months internship session. Because of time
constraint it is not possible for making a quality research. Moreover working after
delayed office it was not possible to give extra time on the study. The survey session
happened only in holidays possible. For this report findings found narrower in result.
Surveying Tea Stall is one of the toughest field works for any researcher. Most of time
Tea Stall owner or sellers remain busy with serving customer, making tea and so on.
They don’t want to talk anything unfruitful. Even they request to come later for
conversation. More over they don’t provide sufficient information needed. So here
surveyor needed to put information modified possible. These obstacles probably have
made this report ambiguous.
Tea Stall study is performed as first study for author of this report. Lack of proper
experience may lead this report less worthy.
Only author has to survey the Tea Stalls because workforce limitations. This burden of
surveying may be made author exhausted to collecting right amount of quality data.
48. Page | 48
According Dhaka city population the sample size of the study is really small. Only 150
Tea Stall owners are interviewed through a given questionnaire. For this constraint the
findings might not be the actually scenario behind Hot Tea Stall market.
Adverse weather is one of the obstacles for this study. During the survey session hot
sunny weather hindered the data collection procedure.
Lack secondary data is also a limitation for this study.
6.3. Recommendations
Giving recommendations for the company betterment is an important part of intern report.
Analyzing the findings and own observation here I am submitting some recommendations for
various parties related to the study done.
6.3.1. Recommendations for Company
In brand awareness Ispahani has stood first in consumer or buyer mind. But because of
awareness of marketing company is losing poetical market share significantly. It is said that, “Do
not expense little on marketing just invest wisely.” There is also another saying. “One who
stopped spending money on advertisement means the same as stopping clock for time out.” Here
suggestions for Ispahani’s strategic body as follows.
Cycle men found less active in distribution. They do not go to provide Tea to Tea Stalls
regularly that’s why other brands are getting chance to capture market respectively. May
be they lacks proper remuneration facility (as Tea Stall Owner Saying) and it needs
redesigning.
In report findings it is found that a significant percent of Tea Stall claimed against quality
consistency. I should be checked quality assurance as ISO certification archived.
City edged Tea Stalls like river bank market does not much aware about branded Tea.
Reason for that could be their economic class and buying power. I appreciate it’s a
potential market for branding by campaigning Tea promotion and that will have the
prospect as well.
Market penetration strategy is needed to fill the gap between competitor’s success and
Ispahani’s failure.
49. Page | 49
A well established brand like Ispahani deserves higher image than other. It leads the
company setting Tea price higher than the competitors. It is not wise to reduce or set
price as same competitors. It may harm brand image badly. Here company can add extra
amount of Tea in the same price for different ranges of packages. This sales promotion is
not only effective for Ispahani branding but also increasing the sales. Over here Ispahani
should follow as Steven Bradley said, “Don’t try to give your customers best price, give
them the best value for the price.”
6.3.2. Recommendations for Sales People
Sales people are the key successor for the company. Only these people secure revenue from the
prospect. Their achievable effort leads company to be successful. For Ispahani sales people I
suggest as follows.
Ispahani Tea is successful mostly on intensive distribution channel. It has established
through years long effort. It’s found survey that Ispahani sales responsible and cycle man
do not go to Tea Stall on regular basis. This makes distribution heritage weaker. I will
appreciate to visit and give Tea to Tea Stall regularly.
Having a good relationship with Tea Stalls sales representative and cycle man should
behave well and it also found complain against the sales responsible unexpected
behavior.
6.3.3. Recommendations for Tea Stall Owner
Tea Stall owner plays a great role for Tea manufacturing company as well as for the Tea lover. I
would like to suggest Tea Stall owner as follows.
Long lasted Tea liquor doesn’t mean the quality of Tea. It might be contaminated with
chemical. Profit is mandatory for business to be survived but it is much essential to keep
public health safety by using comparatively high priced branded Tea in market available.
Giving feedback about limitations to company may enhance sales at Tea Stall.
50. Page | 50
6.3.4. Recommendations for Tea Lover
Tea drinkers basically want quality Tea product which will energize their mind removing
tiredness. From a strong brand like Ispahani I would like to recommend Tea drinker as follows.
Tea drinking is a good habit scientifically proved. Before drinking Tea make sure that
blended drink has a quality as guided.
Exaggerated color, liquor, taste of the Tea is not the standard of measuring quality.
Drink Tea in a healthy way.
Loose and locally branded Tea is not hygienic for health because it could be
contaminated by harmful elements.
Most of Tea drinker at Tea Stall does not care about what brand they are actually eating.
It is suggested that branded Tea products are responsible to secure consumer wellbeing
than a non branded one.
