These days parents are becoming more conscious about their childs health. They want their baby healthier and to make their babies perfectly fit for their future. In Bangladesh there are hardly any products like these which the parents use for their child beside milk and other things. We have great prospect for this product. We can easily make our market wide by giving proper publicity and promotion for the organic baby tea. And that will help the parents of Bangladesh to get know about the new product and necessity of the product for their babies.

Product Positioning
Product positioning is the way that product is defined by consumers on important attributesthe place the product occupies in consumers minds relative to competing products. We must plan positions that will give our product the greatest advantage in selected target markets, and we must design marketing mixes to create these planned positions.

Positioning Maps:
In marketing strategy we have to maintain the three steps of differentiation and positioning tasks which is Identifying a set of possible customer value difference s that provide competitive advantage upon which to build a position,

Choosing the right competitive advantage, and Selecting an overall positioning strategy

Competitive Advantage:
To build profitable relationships with target customers, marketers must understand customer needs better than competitors do and deliver more customers value. To build a competitive advantage, we have to differentiate the product, deliver the promised quality and service. We can also differentiate the product along the line of product, services, channels, people and image. Our BABY TEA is product differentiation which we differentiate on quality, performance, features and design. GROUP NAME- MARKET LEADERS MKT202.3 faculty-MdH

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strength
- Successful businesses in Developed Countries like USA, Canada, UK, France, Australia, Germany etc. - We are new marketer in the country. - We are the market leader and we dont have any competitor now. - Qualified and skilled workers with knowledge - Convenient location of stores - Innovative packaging and Use of high quality contained technology. - Baby tea, itself is new in the market, so high number of early adopters is expected. - Baby teas purely Herbals Teas, which are low in tannins, and are free of caffeine, preservatives, artificial colors and flavorings, and good for babys health too.

Opportunities
- We are the only one in branding baby tea in the country, so we would easily make an image in the consumers mind. - Demand for the babies, infants and grown up kids. GROUP NAME- MARKET LEADERS MKT202.3 faculty-MdH

- For unrivaled and as an innovative brand in this product line, we can expect to supply our product to all over the country and promote it highly for the babys. - Attitude to the new dimension.

Weakness
- As a totally new item in the market, baby tea is not popular among the people of this country. - Concept of using teas for the babys and its importance is not common among the people. - Among all of the early adopters, only a handful might know how and what is the health effect of taking baby teas.

Threats
- Though we are fully new baby product in the Dhaka city in Bangladesh, so it is quite time consuming to establish trust in the customers mind. - Its a new product with a very new concept for market, so we have to take a huge risk with a big amount of financial budget for launching the product.

Now that we know about the situation of the marketplace & position we want to reach, we would set up the organizational structure for effective control over the business.

Market Positioning
Since we are the only one in branding baby teas in the country, we would easily make an image in the consumers minds. But the problem is it could either be a positive impression or a negative impression. Obviously, to stay in the business, an organization must create a decent impression upon the consumer. In order to do so, packaging, branding, labeling and product attribute must make an impact in the consumer mind; these are the first impressions of a new consumer and also, the last attempt to make a consumer buy the product. Once the quality is proven to the consumer, and the consumer is satisfied with it, then he might turn into brand loyalist of that product. At this point, the whole packaging would make distinctive GROUP NAME- MARKET LEADERS MKT202.3 faculty-MdH

recognition of the product among product of same type in that particular consumers mind. Packaging is not the only factor in positioning in consumers mind; equally important is advertising and promoting.

Developing the value proposition and positioning strategy:

Value proposition: Our vale proposition is more for less as we are offering our customer high value in less price then our competitors. We are providing high value to our customer by providing high quality, creativity, tailoring service, customize design and fashion consultant in low price compare to our competitors.

Positioning Strategy: After deciding which segments of the market we will target, then we have to decide first the value proposition and how it will create differentiated value for targeted segments and what positions it wants to occupy to those segments.

Product positioning: Product positioning is the way that product is defined by consumers on important attributes- the place the product occupies in consumers minds relative to competing products. We must plan positions that will give our product the greatest advantage in selected target markets, and we must design marketing mixes to create these planned positions.

Positioning maps: In planning differentiation and positioning strategy, marketers often prepare perpetual positioning map, we have to indicate our brands perceived positioning on two dimensions- price vs. orientation. In marketing strategy we have to maintain the three steps of differentiation and positioning tasks

PRODUCT Herbal baby tea is popular in outside countries. So now we want to introduce this product in Bangladesh as a new thing for the children in Bangladesh. GROUP NAME- MARKET LEADERS MKT202.3 faculty-MdH

VARIETY: This tea is only suitable for a certain age level because this product only focuses on the health of children.

QUALITY: This tea is scientifically examined and is only designed for the development of child health and recreational activities. This tea comes from natural source, no extra flavor is added into it and this tea is not like any tea that you drink in everyday life. It does not also have any side affects and is scientifically examined for helping in the natural growth of human child. It helps in strengthening of children bones; it reduces the chance of cold related diseases like pneumonia. And it acts as a defensive mechanism for heart related disease, cancer and diabetes. The main concern about these drinks is that, as well as undermining a breastfeeding womans milk supply, they could be detrimental to a babys growth and weight gain if offered frequently in place of milk feeds. Some are also over-sweetened for the underlying bitter taste. However, if your baby is over six months offering him the occasional drink of an unsweetened baby tea should do no harm.
