PDL’s Marketing Activities:

Production, product, and selling, marketing and social marketing concept. Popular constructions Ltd. conduct their marketing activities under the societal marketing concept. But when I was doing my internee I surveyed personally to know the current market situation and mainly to adjust the concept that how the market growing, after that I assume Popular construction ltd. conducts product concept because market consumers want product quality, performance, innovations features and continuous product improvements and I think they also follow this societal marketing concept.

Real estate firms had to take certain vital decision in order to better market their products. PDL marketing strategies are discussed below

• Product Consideration: PDL deals with marketing and selling only one product, which is flat.
• Place Consideration:

Prospective buyers of the real estate property consider the location before taking a final decision to buy. It is well keep in mind, while land and improvement are stationary, the surrounding neighborhood or the community in which the property in situated is in a constant state flux and movement. Changes in the immediate environment have a significant effect upon property values.

A study shows that apartment houses are located in different areas in the city. The following table shows the distribution of apartment in different city areas.

Table: Distribution of apartment house in different city areas.

In determining the location, the firms under study consider whether the land is situated in near by residential or non residential area, then they evaluate the distance of educational institute, market place or shopping centre, hospital and above all communication network to and from the site. As a whole the firms try to select such a site which can be attached by the prospective buyers. Besides these, the firms want to be sure about the genuineness of the ownership right of the land.

Pricing Decision:

Fixing the price of the real estate property is very complex compared to any other business. The real estate firms under the study determine the price in there different methods:

• Land price + construction cost + margin is the widely used method of pricing followed by the real estate firms in the Dhaka About 75% of the firms using this pricing policy. It is to be noted here that land and construction cost is calculated at the cost price. That why, PDL charge higher margin under this method and that ranges from 75% to 100%.
• Ascertaining the cost of construction per square feet including the land price is another method used in fixing the selling price of the apartments. Thus the prices of apartments vary with its size. Now PDL using these methods have been found selling the apartment @ TK 2600-3500 per square feet. This method is getting popularity and followed by about 17% of the real estate firms. Under this method PDL can face the competitive situation effectively.
• Price escalation with land and construction cost is a method followed by only 8% of the firms in the Dhaka In this method the firms charges relatively low percentage of profit. Land price increased tremendously in Dhaka city. The followed table 16 exhibits the increased rate of land price during 1974, 1990 and 2001 in different areas in Dhaka city.
• Another study shows that a number of consideration followed by the companies in pricing apartment house 8% of the companies determine. Their price of apartment on the basis of the quality of the construction while 55% of the companies determine their price on the basis of location of the apartment building 40% of the companies determine were found to take demand into account in fixing price.
• It has been reported that 95% of the companies followed mark up policy in determine price while15% of the companies pricing policy were based on companies’ pricing and 10% of the companies followed a pricing method according to the convenience. It has been observed that the price of apartment of similar size in it locally very due to the variation of quality of constriction. The following table shows the current prices of apartment of varying size located in different city of area.

The goal of PDL’s CRM is to aid organizations in better understanding each customer’s value to the company, while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of communication. PDL’s CRM captures, analyzes, and distributes all relevant data from customer and prospect interactions to everyone in the organization. This distribution of information helps an organization better meet customer, product, and service needs.
PDL’s CRM has replaced traditional marketing techniques that focused on key marketing mix elements, such as product, price, promotion and place. By being too functionally-based, traditional marketing techniques neglected the customer in the after-sales process and failed to meet customers’ desires.

There are three major areas of PDL that focus on customer satisfaction: sales, marketing, and service.

Conclusion and Recommendation

The popular developers ltd has performed relatively well in Bangladeshi .It has experienced during the year and is now recognized to have great potential. Last five years, Bangladesh real estate industry developed rapidly.

The growth of this country has also led to widening of the local product range, with about 20 companies dominating the drive for the same .the industry has, become leading growth sector, and with some, prominent manufactures operating and producing the finest apartments by internationally accepted standard.

The planning and design approach is very important components in the construction sector specially to ensure sustainability. The technology and innovation in the construction industry may reduce construction cost and time, as well as increase safety.

New technological innovations, often in conjunction with materials and equipment, should been introduced into several of the disciplines within the PDL. Such technology also ensures higher productivity.

Consumers are more and less satisfied with the present services of the PDL now should think to start new services and take different types of marketing strategy to get more customers in this competition market of developers.

The real estate industries in Bangladesh is relatively unorganized and suffer number of drawback. Restrictive legislation and lack of transparency in transaction are major impediment to the growth of the real estate sector.

Price of the apartments is such are affordable only by a small section of wealthy population in Bangladesh, although the firm in some case advertise in a way of “opportunity for low income people”. Most of the people of this fortunate group have house of their own in modern city area. Therefore, they do not feel strongly to buy an apartment .this has made the market limited and there exists a very little competition among the buyers.

The finding of the present study confirm the notion that housing needs have been increasing in the Dhaka city which have led to the emergence of companies who are building  and marketing apartment houses. Although apartment living is a recent social phenomena people are developing favorable attitudes towards apartment living which is gaining increasing culture acceptance.
