BazarLagbe.com has all types of consumer goods including grocery items such as rice, flour, oil, salt, onions etc and fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, meats and many other items.Our main motto is to satisfy our customer by delivering the best commodities within a short time. In this modern competitive world most of the people are working or keeping themselves busy in other activities so they hardly find time to go to market to buy daily necessary items. That’s why we have started our online business named as “bazarLagbe.com” to deliver all the daily required products within a short period. The customer will get every detailed items on our website which is www.bazarlagbe.com and they can order from our website by just few clicks! BazarLagbe.com also provides after sales service. Most importantly, Customers satisfaction is our main concern so we will never compromise on quality. We promise to deliver the best. Capital: As this business idea is slightly new and risky so our capital amount will not be huge. So, we have decided to bring 50,00,000 taka and goods of taka 5,00,000 as our capital. First of all, we will try to grab the attention of new customers by promotional activities and then we will try to earn their trust by delivering the best. After that we will run our business in full swing. We will expand our business if needed. Area: Our business is mainly Chittagong based. We have segmented our customers on the basis of their income and we targeted the customer having comparatively higher income. So, we chose only a few areas of Chittagong in which the people have higher income. We divided the areas into some zones so that we can reach our customer as early as possible. Our selected zones are1. Khulsi Zone 2. Agrabad Zone 3. Nasirabad Zone 4. Lalkhan Bazar Zone and 5. Muradpur Zone. We will hire warehouse for each zone and we will have sufficient worker to support our activities. We decided to keep more than 20 workers for goods delivery and 10 workers for other supporting activities such as website maintenance, customer service, packaging and promotion. Customers Expectation: Generally Customers buy from online to save their money and time and buying from online is also easy because its just a matter of few clicks. So, we will keep the prices consumer friendly and deliver the quality goods within the expected time of the customers. We will launch new features and offer to meet customers expectation and to attract more.We will keep review system in our website so that the new potential customer can get a better idea about our commodities and service. Day by day we will expand our business to satisfy more customers. Now a days many customers don’t trust online shopping because of low quality goods but we are promised to deliver fresh and quality goods to customers door. That’s how we will meet customers expectation. 1 Future Plan: We want to serve customers as many as possible and to make each and every customer satisfied by our service. Our main plan is to cover most areas of whole Bangladesh in next 5-10 years. We want to exceed the customers expectation by delivering the best possible commodities with customer friendly pricing. We have decided to make 5%-10% profit on each good. With this customer based pricing we want to set a benchmark for others and we desire to see ourself at a superior position in next 5 years. We believe if we run our business with honesty and if we focus mainly on customer satisfaction we will reach that position soon. Security: Security of customers data is the main concern in all kind of online business. All the data related to general customers needed to be kept safe and protected from data breach or data theft. As we focus on customer satisfaction , so we also need to protect their information . For this we decided to hire an IT consultant who will keep the data safe and will review our data management system. We will take all the necessary steps and will use all required software to ensure that there will be no misuse of customers data.

Even on social communication media such as facebook people run their business. So it is not easy for us to start our journey and to make profit from the beginning. Also running an online based business isn’t so profitable at first because in here not every customer is rational and our tech industry hasn’t growth so far yet. But we are expecting something great from our business as we are promised to serve the best and also we have a clear vision . we are determined to try our best. We described our business idea from the beginning and explained it afterwards. We believe If we follow our idea and develop it as we analyzed it in our assignment we are sure to make an impact in the world of online business. That concludes our assignment.
