Scenario Discussion
Aarushi Mahila Seva Kendra has approached you a Consultant with a unique information that the products which they are making and selling are purchased by Customers who are urban and upmarket. However they do not have direct access to these market. The products are purchased by middlemen and after heavy markup have been selling to Posh and upscale malls and décor makers sold to the final customer. the customers are typical successful professionals, nuclear family and owners/live in apartments. the products are Traditional and are very rare and exclusive which needs very good expertise by the Tribal Women. However, AMSK does not have the money power to reach out to these final customers. Government has helped by way of providing trade support but AMSK feel that logistics and last mile delivery of their products need to be more aggressive. The Tribal products have special packaging that does not require additional packing and can be directly shipped. What will be your first steps towards achieving success for this effort.
Awareness about digital marketing n their separate app for selling thier product
Suggest to develop their own shopping app or shopping website so that they can reach more customers
Students Responses
I would ask them to step up and directly sell their products in the market by erasing the middleman they can achieve more profit and margin to their work
Creating a website on the name of AMSk and advertising the website is to be done through social media.
The packaging quality must be good and the delivery of the product at a time because your service makes a road towards success of your product..
Making better supply chain and better quality towards customer and provide sufficient value for product..
I will try to adopt a good communication for having direct access to the market. And managing the orders properly
I will first try to make good communication for having direct access to the market and planning the orders correctly
Face to face discussion with customers or dealers
Through creating website and advertising
The availability of products and requirements of customers should be digitalized, it helps to Avoid the middle man. proper transportation with bulk of products it helps direct selling to consumers. A particular date should be fix on that day only selling of these products should be allowed it helps bulk can sold in a single day and can consumers also known that day..it reduces the daily transport charges and middle man too.
Any marketing strategy should take care of the 4 A's- AWARENESS, ACCEPTABILITY, AFFORDABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.
"They connect with NGOS.
Advertisement about the tribal products
developing a perfect marketing structure in that areas
The step towards our effort must be first given priority to better delivery and product service to the customer
To create separate online shopping app and give advertisement to the product.
To take financial support by government and also NGO and to take proper guidance for supply chain management approach to the tribals.
Advertisement of product as well sell under new brand
Without any middle man involvement will purchase the product directly to customers
Social media advertisement
By advertising
They should have their authorized official website or app and advertise in social media or digital media with some well known face that common people will get to know about their products.
