Its not just food, its “Life”

Idea Generation & Screening

When we were going to start business we have had many ideas regarding a
new product. But we selected packed foods (salan) out of many because of
its importance and need in the current market.

Water Spraying Comb:

A comb that that can spray water whenever you press its button. That can
make combing easier for you.

Rejected: on the grounds that its market is very limited and most of the
people prefer using hair tonics and gel instead of spraying water on their hair
before combing

Airy Helmet:
A helmet that has some stylish kinds of hole in it to make the helmet airy
and keep the head cool under the helmet

Rejected: On the grounds that only those people will buy who have bikes.
And most of the people don’t want to wear helmet.

Its not just food, its “Life”

TV with DVD Rom:

A TV that has DVD Rom attached with it. There is no need to carry DVD
Rom separately with TV.
Rejected: On the ground that it involves too much technology and
technology can get obsolete very soon

Car Casings:
Customized body/casing of cars just like when you get bore of your cell
phone casing you change it. Similarly you can get new casing for your car.

Rejected: On the ground that its cost may be very high and Most of the
people wouldn’t be able to buy it frequently. Only for those who have cars.
And each car requires different type of casing and that would make it even
more expensive.

Packed Salan (Food):

Packed Traditional food like salan etc . That would be useful for people who
have less time and mostly eat instant or fast food that has health hazardous
effect on them. This packed food can provide them with nutrition they need
and the traditional taste they want.

Accepted: On the ground that every one need food. And in todays modern
world every one wants to eat quickly. So, ready to eat meal do have a
potential market and it is really the need of the people. So, we named it
“Ta’am” . So this project is about launching “Ta’am”

Pest Analysis

Political Factors:
Political factors play a vital role for the business prevailing in the country.
Its business operation is in Punjab so it would not affected by political
factors.

Economical Factors:
Economics factors can affect them in the long run. But at present economic
factors don have a big influence on it. Food inflation in future can affect it.

Socio-cultural factors:
The main forces affecting decisions about our product are the social and
cultural factors. As, “Ta’am” Gosht product range should be Halal. And
it is necessary to make people believe that it contains halal ingredients and
animals are being slaughtered by Islamic way.

Technological factors:
Technology is a factor whose value cannot be ignored. Technologies vary
with the passage of time in all industries. “Ta’am” has to make its

Segmentation:
Segmentation is the process of dividing the whole market in different
segments which are homogenous within the segment and heterogeneous
outside. “Ta’am” has segmented its market on the basis of:

Geographic Segmentation:
Geographically we will first cover the whole market of Gujranwala, Gujrat,
Sialkot and then move to the market of Lahore, Multan etc.

Demographic Segmentation:
On the basis of demographic we first segmented our office going people in
the core segment and then students on the secondary segment.

Psychographic segmentation:
Psychographic segmentation has been done on the basis of social class.
Middle class and High class will be targeted because our product will not be
within the means of middle class society.

After segmentation the second thing is to serve the target customers so
“Ta’am” targeted the:

Primary Target Market

Our primary target market is the Office going people who need quick and
ready made food which is also good for health.
