MARKETING PLAN
• Paradox Bicycle will employ two somewhat distinct marketing strategies to reach its perspective customer segments.
• The first strategy uses the website to raise awareness of Paradox Bicycle to individual consumers. The website will be
up for a year and there will be continual improvements make to it.
• Paradox Bicycle will be quite active at the various industry trade shows to develop sales relationships with the
different distributors. The trade shows are the most effective place to develop close relationships with new and
perspective distributors. Since the business relationships are based on trust, participation at the shows will allow
Paradox Bicycle to invest a lot of trust into many different relationships.
MARKETING AREA
• Paradox Group has chosen the Dhaka city to capture the Bangshal bicycle market, which is the biggest bicycle
market of the country.
• Paradox Bicycle has identified two distinct market segments, individual consumers and distributors. Paradox
Bicycle will serve distributors l consumer and will be adding individuals as customers. It will be quite easy to
differentiate between the two groups of customers. Individual sales will be derived via the Internet, and sales to
distributors will be accomplished. through participation at the industry trade shows.
SALES STRATEGY
Individual-customers
• The sales focus for this group will be the conversion of qualified leads through the emphasis of the
products being customer designed for the specific customer, combining comfort, lightweight, and a wide
safety margin. This will help differentiate Paradox Bicycle 's products from the competition. Concerns about
durability will be eliminated by the industry's best warranty of five years.
Distributors
• The sales strategy for the distributors will be quite different. It will emphasize a close relationship between
the distributor and Paradox Bicycle. This is very important because it is of great concern to a distributor for
them to carry and feature a manufacturer who has delivery or warranty problems. Distributors are sensitive
to the issue of availability of the product from the company. Paradox Bicycle will work hard on convincing
distributors that it will be able to meet all of the needs of the distributor, that production can be scaled
quickly if necessary, and that Paradox Bicycle is quick to fill orders, allowing the distributor not to have to
keep a large inventory of the product out of fear of not being able to fulfill orders from a bicycle retailer.
Lastly, Paradox Bicycle will work on impressing the distributors at the shows that they are making a high-
quality product with a low failure rate and that if any warranty claims are made they will be addressed
quickly and happily. This is in recognition that sales are made based on relationships, as much or more so
relative to the actual products.
