2. Executive Summary
This report will take you through the marketing plan for Hyundai Pa.
„„Hyundai Pa will bridge the gap between Santro and Getz (other cars of Hyundai), giving customers
more options within the Hyundai family''. Hyundai Pa will be competing with the new Zen Estilo
from Maruti. Hyundai is also working on a one-liter diesel engine for Pa, which proves to be a good
strategy to take on Maruti & KIA; as Hyundai‟s biggest competitor in the small car section in our
market is Maruti Suzuki & KIA. It will be a true „Value-for-money‟ product and will be available in
varied colors suited to the Indian market.
The car at first glance resembles a styling pattern derived from Honda, Fiat, BMW and a few other
manufactures. Once inside the car the styling puzzle tends to become a lot less significant.
The company‟s under-development compact car, code named project PA, will also be exclusively
made and exported from India. Hyundai exports Santro and Accent models from India to us. There
is a growing demand for small cars in Bangladesh and if the PA project works properly, it‟ll be a
huge success in Bangladesh also.
3. 1. Current Market Situation
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company, South
Korea and is the second largest and the fastest growing car manufacturer in India. As we will have
to import the car from India, that‟s why these information are given. India is the nearest biggest
manufacturer of Hyundai cars & it emphasizes on producing smaller cars at cheaper rates but with
greater values. HMIL presently markets 20 variants of passenger cars in six segments. The Santro
and Pa in the B segment, Getz Prime in the B+ segment, the Accent and Verna in the C segment, the
Elantra in the D segment, the Sonata Embera in the E segment and the Tucson in the SUV segment.
In Bangladesh, around 3000-3500 cars are being sold in every month costing over BDT 400,000 to
BDT 3.5 crore. This huge gap between the prices indicates that there is a huge demand of small
cars in our market and this market is growing very rapidly. And our Hyundai PA will fit into this gap
by pricing its product at BDT 450,000. This will revolutionize the small car market and will be
followed by the other giants like KIA and Maruti.
In the context of Bangladesh, we have smaller and narrower roads with heavier traffics to tackle
with. So we need a compact car that‟ll fulfill our needs of being fast and efficient at the same time.
But not to forget, price is also a decisive matter in this case. Our car will fulfill all these
requirements and provide a greater value to the customers.

3.2 Target Markets
Hyundai Pa‟s marketing strategy is differentiated marketing. Our primary consumer target is middle
to upper income professionals who need true value for their money and comfortable ride in our city
conditions. Our secondary consumer target is university students who need style and speed at the
same time efficiency.
Our other segment could be the business market where mid-sized corporate offices want to help
their managers and employees by providing them a car for ease of transport. Then we can also
target for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Each of the four marketing strategies conveys Hyundai Pa‟s differentiation to the target marketing
segments identified above.

Using product differentiation we are positioning the Hyundai Pa as the most versatile, convenient,
value added car model for above target market used. The marketing strategy will be focused on
promoting the car as an economic car for the next generation.

Product
Features:
The all-new “Hyundai Pa” is fully loaded with a range of exciting new features. It's a perfect
complement to your evolved tastes and lifestyle. And the best way to take your driving pleasure to a
brand-new high.
European Styling.
Japanese Engineering.
Dream-Like Handling.
The new Hyundai Pa is a generation different from Getz and Santro design. Styled with a clear sense
of muscularity, its one-and-a-half box, aggressive form makes for a look of stability, a sense that it
is packed with energy and ready to deliver a dynamic drive.
Price
Hyundai is expected to take Maruti and KIA heads on with the pricing of their Hyundai Pa car. After
launching cars for the masses since so many years, India‟s second largest automobile manufacturer
Hyundai is now targeting the premium segment of thy country and also Bangladesh with their latest
model from the Hyundai‟s stable.
This price range would practically rip apart Maruti‟s offering in Zen Estilo, which is priced at a
higher tag of Rs. 500,000. Hyundai is known for their extensive service network and brand
reputation for making reliable cars that should get the customer‟s nod over their competition.

college festivals and exhibition. This car will appeal to youngsters more.

Major music and sports channels will promote and they will reach out to the youth will be promoted
through Ntv, Etv, Bangla Vision, Channel I, ATN Bangla etc as it has more viewers.
FM Radio
Fm and AM both band Radios are the medium with the widest coverage within the shortest of time.
Studies have recently shown high levels of exposure to radio broadcasting both within urban and
rural areas, whether or not listeners actually own a set. Many people listen to other people's radios
or hear them in public places. So radio announcements will be made and advertisements will be
announced on the radio about the product features and price, qualities, etc.
Print Ads
Daily advertisements in leading newspapers and magazines will be used to promote the product.
Leaflets at the initial stage will be distributed at shopping malls, university & office areas and
various other locations. We could stick posters to the wall of the streets to promote it.

11. 4. Financial projection
The pricing strategy would be like the following –
The manufacturer cost for this car will be RS 150,000 (in India). The converted price will be BDT
200,000 (in Bangladesh), then it‟ll be accompanied by the import cost and customs duty plus all the
expenses. The cost of the year-long advertising expenses and a profit margin must also be added
to this price. After all the adding, the math would look something like the following –
Factory cost BDT 200,000
(+) Import Duty + Tax + transportation cost
(+) BDT 10,000
(+) Profit margin 10%
The sum would be around BDT 450,000
(N.B. the import duty and taxes are fluctuating and recently been developing on a new scale, that‟s
why the percentages are not shown but the amount has been placed here by keeping the average in
mind.)
The promotion cost basically depends on the company. Here I‟ve planned a year-long advertising
promotion for the car in different media including TV, billboards, banners etc. The cost of
promotion is anticipated BDT 25,000,000; that‟ll add up to BDT 10,000 per car.

12. Product Life Cycle
Profits
Negative Rising High Declining
Sales
Growth Maturity
Introduction Decline
Time
Figure : Product Life Cycle
In the introductory stage of the products life cycle, the profit will always be negative. The
companies eagerly waiting for money at the very beginning will be disappointed with this. Profits
will rise at the growth stage of the product and become high in the matured market. Profits will
again decline at the declining stage.
The same will happen here for Hyundai Pa also. Hyundai will make its profit over the other Hyundai
products but not on this brand, at least not at the beginning. The profit will be gained at the growth
level when the car will be accepted by the consumers and the sales will be rising very quickly.

13. 5. CONCLISION
Automobiles have become an indispensable part of our lives, an extension of the
human body that provides us faster, cheaper and more convenient mobility every
passing day. Behind this betterment go the efforts of those in the industry, in the
form of improvement through technological research. What actually lie behind
this betterment of the automobiles are the opinions, requirements, likes and
dislikes of those who use these vehicles.
These wheeled machines affect our lives in ways more than one. Numerous
surveys and research are conducted throughout the world every now and then to
reveal one or the other aspect of automobiles, be it about the pollution caused
due to vehicle population in cities, or rising motor accidents and causes,
vehicular technology, alternative medicine and so on.
