TITTLE:
AL BADAR CEMENT
PROBLEM:
Large number of constructions are going on in Karachi. People and builders are looking for
reliable and trusted wholesalers and dealers of cement. The demand of cement is very high as
there are a small number of big dealers in Karachi that can provide cement without any
fluctuation. The area to cover is also very large and the dealers are few. There is
transportation problem as well as there are strike of transport and people have to wait for their
order for two to three days
SOLUTION:
As there is large number of constructions going on, and the market demand is very high, so
we will fulfill market demand as we have high capacity warehouses in different parts and
areas of Karachi. Due to ideal Locations of my shops it will be easy access for retailors and
end consumer as well. we are one of the dealers who is providing cement at wholesale rate
and retail rate as well because of easy access and good location of outlets we are also giving
good transportation service. We also have our own transportation vehicles so in which when
there is strike, we can provide you cement.
We are dealer of five major cement companies:
Lucky Cement
Falcon Cement
Maple leaf Cement
Thatta Cement
DG Khan Cement
The retailors can buy cement from us at discounted rates - the higher the purchase, the higher
the discount. The dealers receive bonus at the end of the month from cement companies on
how much sales have been made.
UNDERLYING MAGIC:
What makes us different from the rest of the market is our approach towards the end user. As
we have greater verity of product, the retailors and the wholesalers have a larger pole to
choose from.
The unique selling point of my business that I have warehouses in different areas of Karachi
where my competitor doesn’t have. I can sell my cement at wholesale rate as well as at retail
rate and my warehouses give me advantage of storing my cement. I can cover a lot of area in
Karachi because of my warehouses. Also, If there is shortage or hoarding of cement. or the
price of the cement is expected to increase, the old and loyal customer can get cement at old
price.
BUSINESS MODEL:
My company will provide services to full the market and consumer demand. It will give
direct access to an end consumer to connect with a cement dealer. We will provide good
quality cement with easy access to everyone. We will a trust relationship with our consumer
by providing them facilities by giving them discount transportation during the strikes and by
giving them the availability of cement in large quantity
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
Dealership of five brand of Karachi
Good warehouses location
Own transportation
Large number of storage capacity
Weaknesses
High investment
Area is distributed and I cannot sell my cement in my competitor’s area
If demand increases more than my capacity, then I cant fulfill it on time
B2B market I am not the producer or manufacturer I am just a dealer whose work is to take
product from the manufacturer and them give it to end user
Advertising is limited only to companies and advertise their brand and product
Opportunities
High demand
Less number of competitor or big dealers
High scope
Large area to cover
Construction
Profit
Threats
Credit
Hard to recover the money
MARGIN
If we take the average cost per bag which is 710 PKR. The price at which I am selling a bag
is 715 to 720 PKR, then my average margin is 5 to 10 rupees per bag.
