maid but they feel uncomfortable with their accommodation facility and they can’t complain
about their service quality also maid-worker don’t get the job security in this type of work. So
our plan came out from this brainstorming.

Security Number of the owners as the tax identification number (TIN) for the organization
and beside this we have to collect our trade license for Uttara area.At the starting we will

6.1 Overall Marketing Strategy:
For our company we are preparing outdoor and indoor marketing. 3 of our partner were
marketing major students so it will be easier for us. We have to focus on which marketing
and advertising media will be more effective .So our marketing concern will be concentrated
on:
13 | P a g e
a) Social Media Marketing(Facebook, YouTube, Twiter, Viber, What’s App): We will
expense to boost our page because now a day’s social media marketing is the fastest
way to reach the target customer.
b) Bill board advertising: Our firm will have 4-5 big billboard in some crowded pace in
Dhaka City.
c) Web marketing: Our web site will used in three purpose -
I. Content Advertising
II. Taking Order
III. Customer feedback
d) Personal /Reference Marketing: All of our partners and members will try personally
make the publicity of the name of firm and its activity with our friend and relatives.
e) Placard Advertising/Paper man:Before one month of starting our office and after one
month starting we will make 50,000 placards and distribute them by paper man
continuously. It will quite effective way to send a message in very early in the
morning .May be it will stay in target customer mind for a long time.
f) Poster: In the same way there will be 2 types of poster .One item will serve before
starting and one type for after starting. One will for brand advertising and another for
service.
g) Local Cable operator:If we get proper financial support and control than after 4-5
month letter we will go for local TV channel advertising with a minimum budget.
h) Air Balloon: We can get people concentration and highlight our office location by Air
Balloon with our sign. This way people can easily reach our office.
6.2 Service, Price, Promotion
We will segment our service packages according to family size and work type
basis .All the package will duration will a month but for some special event we will
chargecontract wise .Our packages and price will like-
 Floor cleaning and furniture cleaning -6000
 Helping in kitchen -5000
 Outdoor cleaning -1000(according to size)
 Whole cleaning in a week- (+-)1,000
 Guard regular-16,000
 Guard and care taker -20,000
14 | P a g e
 Guard for special event -1,000(Per day)
 Chafe Regular -20,000-40,000
 Car repairing -500-5000(Depending on situation)
Promotions:
In festival time we will focus our promotional activity .Suppose in EID time
we will give day wise working facility or extra cleaning facility to our existing and new
customer.
Beside this we can promote other company like SAVLON .If we connect with them and use
in Kurbani time that will be a good promotional event for us. In this way we are planning for
all festivals that occur in Bangladesh.
6.3 Service Packages
We will keep some package to delivery our tools and after few times we willtry to supply
some cleaning product with our logo and some t-shirt will be printed with our logo.
7.1 DevelopmentStatus and Tasks
For development our team will always look for new update
around us and what our customer need at this moment we will search for it .Beside this we
can follow other service provider in abroad .like –The cleaning Authority ,Molly Maid,
Handy.
15 | P a g e
Because sometimes our competitors and outlook of industry give us idea for development.
Our business need development regularly otherwise we can’t be able to get first mover
advantage.
7.2 Challenges andRisks
The firm may have some challenges in start up in collecting staffs and having a suitable
location for office set up. After that we may face problem with staffing and scheduling .We
have to manage these things situational wise.
If we can’t able to reach our target customer quickly we have some risk with early
competitors. Our strong management and regular activity in development will face the
challenges and our profit will reduce our risk.
To avoid the traditional maid system we will not let people call them Khala,Bua or kajer
Louk .We will give them a new iconic name .The name will be for Woman in a short name
and also for man’s our client will not be embraced to call different name in different days .
7.3 Proprietary Issues
We all member equally providing the capital but one of us has provided the idea of business
so in paper work and the position of his will be mentioned on his proprietorship. He will be
only one owner of the brand name “Home Care Platform”. Rest of us will equal in profit and
risk sharing.
8.1 GeneralApproach to Operation
We will try to give 24/7 service which will make us more
loyal and more value to our customers. We ensure our ability to grow our customer through
marketing and quality service. We will make a flexible schedule to manage our duty.
16 | P a g e
8.2 Business Location:
Our first target area is whole Uttara so it will be better if we settle
our branch office in middle of the Uttara .As for our target is sector 7 or 11.After starting
activity in Uttara than we will move to start with Gulshan .
8.3 Facilities and equipment
We will supply all the cleaning, repairing tools, dress up and accessories .Most of our tools
and accessories will be automatic and modern that will provide an enhance value to our
customer.
