Category: Online Buy-Sell Company: Cellbazaar.com CellBazaar is a service from GrameenPhone that allows people to buy or sell over mobile phone. If someone wants to sell something, he/she has to post the inform ation on CellBazaar through GrameenPhone, and buyers will contact him/her. If so meone is looking for something to buy, or a service (e.g., tutor), he/she can lo ok for it on CellBazaar and contact the seller directly. When buyers sees an ite m they like, they can call the seller, get additional information, and meet the seller to complete the transaction. CellBazaar is a platform for buyers and sell ers to find each other. Website address: www.cellbazaar.com Strategic Value Proposition: CellBazaar is a SMS/WAP/WEB/Voice based platform for interested people who want to get involved in product/service trading online while giving an advantage of d oing it absolutely free of cost. SWOT Analysis: Strengths: One of the most reputed online marketplace Easy C2C communication provider with no cost Works on Mobile & Computer Arrangements of almost all kinds of products Effective search options [More than 100 categories] Inclusion of almost everything other than traditional products Easy accessibility Required low bandwidth to browse Weaknesses: No support for being featured [Editors Pick & Users vote are considered only] Weak campaign regarding the usage of 3838 [Dialing from the mobile phone] Giving away contact numbers doesn't look secured always. Immediate query on the product not possible because of the poor comment option Low security Less space to describe the product Limited for the GrameenPhone customers only Opportunities: Incorporating local language Greater incremental impact on the lives of these people than on city dwellers Continuous growing number of mobile phone users Threats:

 Fear of technology English perception Acceptability by generation Strategic Failure: CellBazaar is not having any so called "Grand" failure in terms of their strateg y, as the founder Mr. Kamal Quadir had an extensive thorough research on consume r usability on a platform like this. Still, as it is operating in Bangladesh, th ere are few areas where they've showed under performance which we believe really need to be overcome. Issues regarding business: To hamper the business and the regular activities, th ere are a number of few fake sellers who're being active in the site posting dif ferent posts of products, making other general customers aware on that as well a s interested & ultimately when they gets to see each other, the customer gets at tacked with different approaches which actually reflects a complete fraud functi onality. Another issue is, the site is completely dedicated for the GrameenPhone number holders only, which is obviously a good strategy by definition but to re duce the risks from the new entrants, we believe it should be opened to all [Gra meenPhone number holders may be given some added advantages for being a GP Subsc riber of course]. Finally, a common issue that is not expected from the business wing is their reach to the customers who're still yet to be explored. CellBazaa r could incredibly get strategic competitive advantage by reaching the unearthed portion which mostly reflects the rural people. Issues regarding the infrastructure: According to Mr. Imtiaz Jahangir, CS System s Engineer, GrameenPhone IT, CellBazaar has following weaknesses in terms of tec hnology The website doesnt redirect www.cellbazaar.com & celbazaar.com to the same URL, w hich needs to be fixed The meta description should be explicit, which mainly contains most important ke ywords The site doesnt use HTML headings, this helps the site to find it & reach it more easily to the customers The sites text to HTML ratios below 15% which is the standard, which means that the site needs to have more text content The sites loading time is too long because of the huge information in homepage, which needs to be made faster using different web monitoring tools Not adopting the Google Analytics, which helps to measure the visitors activity in the best possible way Suggestions to improve: To give some flavor of these challenges discussed above, here are some key issue s they can take initiatives to solve. Removing the fake accounts/fake sellers: To give security they need to take action against all fake account. They need to identify and banned those accounts. Opening access for everyone: To make it more interactive they can give access to all people. Cause many peopl e do not use GP but use internet for their use. Include image along with information for more authenticity: After they launched WAP platform, it became crucial trading visually appealing g raphics & animations. Most of the animation capability inBangladesh used flash t echnology for browser screens. So no one hadexperience animating for mobile phon es, where the files have to be made ultra-light. Integrating the local language: As most people here find English challenging, they try to introducebilingualism whenever possible. they managed to do some of this on theWAP platform, but faced challenges. The software houses in West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh means tha t there arecompeting standards on Bangla software. Lacking a universal standard, they have to create their own. Building WAP: The WAP version of the application had to support a large variety of WAP-enabled

handsets, from many providers, as well as the cheap clones.Because Bangladesh h as no local standards, there were (and continue to be) many variations in phone set tings, none of which they could control from their end. Over time, they had to f ix problems through trial-and-error, which is extremely time consuming. Synchronizing all platforms: They need to synchronize all the data collected via an SMS, WAP or Web platform. But these three platforms were connected via different gateways, and each had c ompletely different environments and platforms. Bug testing: There is no local demand for bug testing, and no outsourcing market forthem. Thu s there was no local pool of testers, especially not for mobile phone applicatio ns. But they need to fix bugs to improve their service. Creating online transaction methods: Online transaction methods are very easy and it takes little time. So people may get full benefits of e-marketing from cellbazaar.com Company: tazabazar.com Strategic Value Proposition: Tazabazar.com is an Online shopping & gift service basis on Home delivery providing an opportunity to all over the Bangladesh to re ach out to their loved ones fairly in an easy process. Website address: www.tazabazar.com SWOT Analysis: Strengths: Accepts payments in Checks or money orders Free shipping Weaknesses: Shipping addressee confusion [Hacker attack] Does not accept debit cards Low response towards customers order Insignificant communication activities Opportunities: Explore more in the middle class segment Interactive marketing campaigns can increase the number of customers New entrants Consumer unfamiliarity with E Commerce

Threats

Strategic Failure: One of the prime reason of this website being failure in term s of strategy is weak communication towards the customers. Basically, this type of online firms should adopt some strategies where they can communicate with th eir target groups in such a way that it ultimately comes out as a good result. B ut due to almost no activity online or offline, this website has got a very low number of customers, where most of the customers have become aware of the fact t hat tazabazar.com exists. Not utilizing the power of branding has become a signi ficant contributor in the extensively slow growth of the company. Suggestions to Improve: We believe, the following issues should be thought of wh en delivering value for the customers' from now on Ensure a proper communication towards the customers Developing brand elements Creating tazabazar.com's own RDCs, BTL banners along with a meaningful mascot Bringing seasonal variations in taglines Company: Clickrbd.com Clickrbd.com is an online based market where they provide almost all types of te chnological product starting from a tiny pen drive to a whole computer system. S tarted its journey with three young entrepreneurs from University of Dhaka, clic krbd.com provides customers their desired product directly at their doorstep wit hout any hassle, claiming themselves experts in tackling their hassle. Currently

clickrbd is running its operation in Dhaka city only. By ordering anything from their website, a customer gets his/her ordered products within 24 hours at his/ her door with a delivery cost of BDT20 only. Website address: http://clickrbd.com/ Strategic Value Proposition: Clickrbd provides customers a complete advantage ov er time & cost by taking the responsibility of their desired technological produ ct in their own shoulder ensuring safety & delivers the product right at the hom e of the customer allowing him/her to invest his/her time, money & energy in the other parts of his/her life.

SWOT Analysis Strengths: Delivery in most competitive price through well planned value chain Efficient distribution personnel Proper implementation of integrated low cost & differentiation strategy. Efficiently serving narrow segment with core competencies Easy to access & friendly interface Sophisticated product category Pleasing customer experience through saving the customers' time, energy & money Prompt price updating Weaknesses: Only technological products are being sold Centralized distribution [Only Dhaka City considered] Credit card not accepted Payment after delivery Cash receiving from customer Lead time (one day) Rely heavily on part time employs Security of goods in transit

Opportunities: Majority of the customers using internet Traffic of the city Increasing busyness of people Growing trend of e-commerce Increasing demand for ICT products Threats Little entry barrier High competition High bargaining power of both customer and supplier Consumer unfamiliarity with e-commerce Nonexistence of electronic payment in this country

Strategic Failure: As the key management of the business are young entrepreneurs , it is obvious that they will not have any experience in running an online base d business like this. So far our findings & key areas of failure are 1. After sales service: Very low preparation in this issue as technological prod ucts doesnt come out with defects all the time. But sometime due to defects, sudd en calls starts coming to the hotline number & then the business personnel need to ensure a quick rush & total check up to the customers household. 2. Weak distribution: The distribution is generally done through the students li

ving in different halls of the University of Dhaka, which sounds good but a key hole to this is the distribution setup is not wide. Having the distribution pers onnel in different areas in the city would help reduce time while delivering as well as reducing risks of losing customer faith. 3. Losing the opportunity of expansion: The demand of the computer, laptops or o ther accessories related to computer is very high. Everyday people are buying di fferent technological goods for their own use. Clickrbd can use this opportunity to expand its business by ensuring a good support to all the divisional areas o f the country. By using the networks & the university base, they can provide the ir products outside Dhaka too. Managing human resource is a big challenge here. Strategic Suggestions to improve: For clickrbd, we propose 1. A good contract with the dealer, ensuring excellent after sales service from their end. 2. Make the website more dynamic 3. Educating the customers with basics of using the device they're buying to red uce the repeat call after the sale. 4. Recruiting more distribution personnel or adjust the distribution strategy in a way that allows the business to give support out of the city 5. Because of having no marketing campaign, the company may face difficulties in future. They should run some low cost BTL campaigns & social network marketing. Only fliers are not enough. 6. In near future, if successfully they become able to promote their business & create positioning in the mind of consumers, they should start accepting credit & debit cards. This will allow a smooth reach to the people living abroad.

Strategic Value Proposition: ICE 9 Interactive Solutions exists to create innova tive, intuitive, and attractive digital experiences through which users can inte ract with information that is relevant to them. SWOT Analysis Strengths: Highly talented team Flexible with orders Quick adapter Multi talented workforce

Weaknesses:

Limited resources Low managerial experiences Almost all of the employees are freshers Fund limitation for business development Opportunities: Designing of user interface through which a new era of services will be unfolded

for the first time in the country Opportunity to earn foreign currency from foreign orders Threats New entrants Strategic failure & probable improvement areas: After visiting the office of the m, we have found out that even though they are having a good networks of their o wn [Each of the top management], still somehow they're not using it, which later resulting in lack of awareness. Fortunately, they're currently having Robi as a main client & working on Robi project, but this doesnt ensure a good exposure of the company. To ensure a good future, the company should run a clear marketing campaign for the business customers keeping in mind that they're providing prope r service with high value in a certain average cost, which generally attracts th e business customers. Besides this, as the company is formed of few young entrep reneurs, they should invest more to increase the size of their business. The pro grammers they're having their company are good in web developing too, which clea rly indicates that they can enter into web hosting & designing services too.

ategic value proposition for customers that bring competitive advantage for this website among the other sites in the industry.

r this kind of jobsites. So it should come up with competitive aged authentic se rvices for the employer to hold the market leader position.

Major company comes with their career and job site in their own job portal like Grameenphone. Strategic Failure: prothomaloalo.com put their emphasis mostly on job related fo r their candidates but they provide less concentration on counseling their caree r and dont offer any special training for the candidates in choosing the right jo b. Suggestion: prothomaloalo.com should arrange some physical job fair for the cand idates instead of focusing on training and virtual job fair. Though as a job sit e they have less social acceptance then the market leader they should publish th eir marketing campaign in their own newspaper. Company: jobsa1.com Company profile: From the beginning of its outset, jobsA1.com has taken up bold and innovative assignments in database programming, systems integration, creatio n of multimedia products, Website design & development and networking through LA N/WAN, dial-up remote access connectivity.

Make the site attractive and user friendly by adding new innovative features. Add value to services and increase prices.(e.g., online FAQ and customer support Threats

Major company comes with their career and job site in their own job portal like Grameenphone. Major threat from market leader. Strategic Failure: jobsA1.com mostly focuses Software Development, Web Portal & Multimedia rather than a job searching web portal. They apply their main strengt h in software development activities being recognized as a job site. Their poor strategy regarding job related training and mostly no specific strategy for the employers make their website less valuable for the job hunters. Suggestion: They should arrange more job related training for the job seekers an d maintain a segment in their website for the employers though they are having s trong database for them. To improve its social acceptance it should maintain soc ial networking system to the corporate level.

Focus divisions by separate category for Chittagong and quick link map for other divisions. Weaknesses Do not guaranty error free information. Poor standard of reporting ( recently reporters of this site address two profess or of Dhaka University directly by their name) Poor interface than others. News and Advertisement are scattered, not organized. News font is not eye friendly. Facilities of 17 more languages do not work in reality. Standard of the content provided by users are poor in many cases. Lack of innovative features like opinion box, kids, arts etc Do not have any printed version. Lack of mass advertisement. Lack of promotional activities. Banglanews24.com has visitors from few countries only. Banglanews24.com does not publish all content in both Bangla and English. High focus on advertisement rather than news content. Users can read blog only in Bangla. Standard of the content provided by users are poor in many cases. Mobile application is only for android users. Opportunities Proper advertisement strategy can create awareness about banglanews24.com. Banglanews24.com can use different social media like facebook, twitter to promot e this site. Increase the user base by making the facility of other languages version applica

ble in reality. Establish the news booth with computer and internet facilities to make people ha bituated with online As the numbers of leading online news portal are insignificant, it can earn the second mover incentives by differentiation. Launch English version of blog to increase the number of blogger and visitors. Develop the site with friendly interface and add kids page, arts page to increas e the users. Launching mobile wap site for internet applicable cell phone so that young users can easily access to site. Threats Awareness of online newspaper is very insignificant in our country is a threat f or this industries growth. Asians are habituated in reading printed newspaper rather news from online news paper. Very insignificant portion has access to internet facility in our country. Online news facilities by popular print newspaper media like eprothomalo.com, th edailystar.net etc. Failure to continuously adjust with competitive market is a threat for surviving .

Strategic Failure Focusing young generation: Nowadays almost every educated human use internet. Bu t Banglanews24.com mainly focuses on youth which may lead to lose a large user b ase. Lack of commitment: Failure to provide what is committed may result poor grading of the site. For example, banglanews24.com has the version of many languages bu t the versions are not applicable in reality. Then all contents are not availabl e in both Bangla and English. Lack of mass advertisement and promotional activities: Nowadays internet is part of our life. So if online newspapers can be advertised with proper media people would be habituated in reading newspaper online. But banglanews24.com failed to take proper initiative for advertisement. Lack of differentiation: online newspapers of Bangladesh provide almost same fea tures. People are not satisfied with credible info now. First mover like Bdnews2 4.com has differentiated it in some way. But banglanews24.com is not up to the m ark to bring new facilities and promote it properly. Poor combination of advertisement and content in interface: if users do not feel comfort to go through with the content features will not create value. People a re used to with printed newspaper because it is easy to handle and read. And peo ple avoid online newspaper because they need computer and internet access for th is. So it is very important for online newspaper to ensure comfort reading newsp aper in their site. But banglanews24.com failed in doing so. It has much adverti sement space relative to content which makes the interface poor and negative to the users.

Suggestions Effective Promotional Strategy: online newspaper market is become very competiti ve now as every company provides almost same features. But no one uses a proper way of advertisement media to create awareness about online newspaper in consume rs mind. So banglanews24.com can use the means of advertisement to create a diff erentiation by focusing on their strengths and making people aware about the use fulness of online newspaper. They can promote the brand by advertising through m obile SMS. They can promote their banglanews24.com wap application which will be very useful to mobile internet users. Beside this banglanews24.com can launch a

campaign where people can read online newspaper from visible booths throughout the country. They can make the content available in social media like facebook a nd twitter (young people are more used to with social media and online newspaper ) as a part of advertisement. Launch banglanews24.com mobile radio station: we are very used to with mobile ra dio now. Banglanews24.com mobile radio station can increase awareness countywide . Focus on new value creation: in this competitive market it is must to focus on c ontinuous value creation through differentiation. For instance, banglanews24.com can active the facility of version of many languages. Focus on eco friendly business: raw materials for printed newspaper come from tr ess. Every year print media destroying our forest to provide the print newspaper . So in a sense we are doing harm to environment. Banglanews24.com can promote this message to mass people to increase their awareness in online newspaper whic h is an eco friendly business. Focus on broad segment: as an online newspaper banglanews24.com does not require additional resources to target broad segment. It can create awareness within th e country and outside the country by strong promotional strategies which can giv e them a large user base. Company: Bdnews.com Bdnews.com is a Bangladeshi online news site which provides neutral and trustwor thy news to the public 24X7. They bring latest news from the best news sources f rom all around the world. It has both Bangla and English language support. Viewe rs now can access to this web site though mobile and smart phones. Website address: Bdnews.com Strategic Value Proposition: Bdnews.com is a Bangladeshi news portal from which offers round-the-clock news e nsuring most reliable information in both Bangla and English from a highly inter active platform. Swot Analysis: Strengths: Segmented news on homepage Credible info News in both bangla and English. Live cricket update support. TV support with the help of YouTube

Weaknesses:

Poor user interface Low quality graphics and fonts. Poor standard of reporting Lack of innovative features like opinion bar, videos, social networking Late update of news Opportunities: Improve the user interface with innovative features Launching news wap site for mobile Add more features targeting new customers Add innovative way of advertising Provide video coverage for news Low graphics and high graphics version Threats Rapid growth of online news service. Social networks news portals Online version of print media

Strategic Failure Bdnews.com failed to promote the web page through advertisement campaign properl y. Bdnews.com does not allow users to be content provider which may cause less loya lty.

Online newspapers of Bangladesh provide almost same features. Being focused only to deliver news fast and accurate is not a differentiation in todays competitive market. Lack of innovative feature and lack of user friendly interface. Bdnews does not have the Scrolling headline which is now a days considered as an e sential and effective one. Suggestions Promote website through SMS and introduce PUSH-PULL value added services. Bdnews can sponsor FM radio news programs. They should launch low graphic version which will be cost effective for mobile u sers. They should introduced new news & entertainment section for kids and the youth.

SWOT Analysis Strengths

First in Bangladesh to launch mobile and WAP news sites Born-again organization, with new management, new ideas, new outlook, new vision s. Large base of experienced, talented, tech-savvy, multi-tasking, high-energy staf f and correspondents within and outside the country. Gather and deliver news on the Web 24 hours, with the highest standards of profe ssionalism, integrity and ethical journalism. Top quality information on business, trade and commerce. Worlds window on Bangladesh that means worlds events that affect Bangladesh are r eported by this site. 100,000 unique visitors a day, 12 million pages viewed every month and nearly 90 million hits a month, bdnews24.com is one of the most-read news sites in the re gion. Separate box to report news about liberation war and our historic events. It is ranked #2,057 in the world. This site is worth $7,136,579 USD and advertis ing revenue is $2,221 USD per day. The average pages load time is 4.643 seconds. Weaknesses Lake of promotion on print and broadcast media. Do not guaranty error free information. Do not offer low graphic version of the site which can be cost effective for the users. Do not offer any printed version which may cause less awareness of people about this site. Very conservative about mass advertisement which is hinder in increasing the use r base. Do not offer the RSS Feed. So that users do not have the option to bookmark any news to get the reminder of that news update. Users are not content provider. As a result they are not actively engaged to thi s site. It results in less loyalty. Do not have separate content category for divisional city. Focus mainly Dhaka users (ranked no. 7 in Dhaka) Not available in many languages like Chinese, French etc.

Opportunities Expand the user segment by focusing on mobile wap site. Launch bdnews24.com mobile radio station. Promote the brand to divisional users. Introduce the new category for divisional news events. Select right advertisement media (like mobile SMS) to promote the brand. Option to read content in many languages can increase user base of abroad.

Establish the news booth with computer and internet facilities to make people ha bituated with online newspaper. Maintain the competitive position as a first mover through innovative features a nd value creation with the time. Threats Being focused only to deliver news fast and accurate is not a differentiation in todays competitive market. Second mover are already in the market and imitating the differentiation strategy of bdnews24.com Online news facilities by popular print newspaper media like eprothomalo.com Focusing only Dhaka users may cause losing market share to competitor who are ta rgeting broad market. Unable to provide news in many languages may decrease the worldwide user base. Increasing trend of online newspapers is a threat to first mover.

Strategic Failure Very conservative about mass advertisement: Nowadays a large portion of people a re using internet in their computer and mobile. And internet is part of our pers onal and corporate life. So if online newspapers can be advertised with proper m edia people would be habituated in reading newspaper online. But bdnews24.com fa iled to take proper initiative to pool the user through advertisement campaign. Users are not content provider: nowadays customers want to be a part of company. They want to engage actively to the process. But bdnews24.com does not allow us ers to be content provider which may cause less loyalty. Focus narrow segment: bdnews24.com does not have separate content category for d ivisional city which may lead to loss of divisional visitors. It is ranked 7 in Dhaka. Focusing only Dhaka city may lead to overlook the huge customer base of o ther city. Lack of differentiation: online newspapers of Bangladesh provide almost same fea tures. Being focused only to deliver news fast and accurate is not a differentia tion in todays competitive market. Second mover like Banglanews24.com has already differentiated it in some way. But bdnews24.com is not up to the mark to innova te new facilities and promote it properly. Suggestions Effective Promotional Strategy: online newspaper market is become very competiti ve now as every company provides almost same features. But no one uses a proper way of advertisement media to create awareness about online newspaper in consume rs mind. So bdnews24.com can use the means of advertisement to create a differen tiation by focusing on their strengths and making people aware about the usefuln ess of online newspaper. They can promote the brand by advertising through mobil e SMS. They can promote their bdnews24.com wap application which will be very us eful to mobile internet users. Beside this bdnews24.com launch a campaign where people can read online newspaper from their visible booths throughout the countr y. Launch bdnews24.com mobile radio station: it can give them a competitive age. Ce ll phone is inevitable part of our life nowadays. And we are very used to with m obile radio now. So Bdnews24.com mobile radio station can increase awareness cou ntywide. Need to focus on new value creation: market is very competitive. So it is urgent to focus on continuous value creation through differentiation. For instance, th ey may launch low graphic version which will be cost effective for prepaid packa ge users. Focusing on eco friendly business: raw materials for printed newspaper come from tress. Every year print media destroying our forest to provide the print newspa per. So in a sense we are doing harm to environment. Bdnews24.com can promote t his message to mass people to increase their awareness in online newspaper which

is an eco friendly business. Focus on broad segment: as an online newspaper bdnews24.com does not require add itional resources to target broad segment. It can create awareness throughout th e country by strong promotional strategies which can give them a large user base .

Strategic Failure: Technical analysis really just studies supply and demand in a market in an attem pt to determine what direction, or trend, will continue in the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand the emotions in the market by s tudying the market itself, as opposed to its components. So, only focusing on th is will not led to be the best performer in the market. Suggestion: 1. By understanding the benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can give a new set of tools or skills that will enable to be a better trader or investor. 2. The impact of Social Media is huge for certain industries. Monitoring is needed on preferences of people about the website. 3. Register an account in social networking site like Twitter; facebook etc . in your brand's name to promote the site nationwide. You should also check the availability of your brand name in other social networks. 4. The number of people using Mobile Web is getting huge. So, the website s hould look nice in the most popular mobile devices. 5. Fundamental analysis [characteristics of a company] and technical analys is [price movements] should be compiled for increasing the ultimate value.

Category: Entertain-ment Company: aawaj.com Aawaj.com is a social networking website for sharing information and getting con nected with near and dear ones. It has three-month global Alexa traffic rank of 241,776. The fraction of visits to this site referred by search engines is about 6%. Visitors to the site spend roughly 66 seconds on each pageview and a total of six minutes on the site during each visit. The site has a bounce rate of abou t 56% (56% of visits consist of only one pageview). Compared with the overall in ternet population, Aawaj.com's audience tends to be users who have postgraduate educations. www.aawaj.com Audience Snapshot Based on internet averages, aawaj.com is visited more frequently by males who ar e in the age range 18-24, have no children, are graduate school educated and bro wse this site from home. Strategic value proposition: Aawaj.com is all about learning and connecting with local communities, people an d businesses around us as well as our friends from both near and far.People can simply click on a users community (area) link and open a map of surrounding areas . We may browse through what people are saying or doing in that local community or find businesses, restaurants and shops from that area with their information and latest updates or messages. It has given the opportunity to the users to be connected when they are not close to computer even not close to internet because from your mobile you can connect or update your status by sms. SWOT analysis:

Strengths: Can even add friends on network and easily learn who is where and doing what. Add photos to share with friends, communicate with others through web or mobile without sharing email or mobile number View everything in Bangla as well as English. Can do everything even away from a computer & internet just by using sms from mo bile phone Report offensive content Weaknesses: People already have friend circle in other networking sites so it is difficult t o switch to another site. Less feature than other networking sites Not well recognized compare to other social networking sites Less privacy of personal information Opportunities: It has some unique features that others dont so if aawaj.com is able to let peopl e know about their features it will be able to capture the market share. More technological advantage requires to add new applications and to ensure more privacy. Threats: Giant sites like Facebook, twitter are the biggest threat for aawaj.com because they are so popular that many people even dont know about it and who knows doesnt try to use it. Renowned sites regularly updating their features and also increasing new applica tions like different kinds of games and reminding birthdays of friends so people are more interested to those sites Hacking chances may also be high for aawaj.com Strategic Failure: Aawaj.com meets the basics that a social networking website must have. Only sha ring status and uploading pictures is not all. From a web researcher company we found that only a very specific group of people visit this website and on an ave rage they browse for 66seconds which is very low, on the other hand they are not yet able to achieve the reliability. Generally people are very sensitive toward their personal information and dont want to share this information with people t hey dont even know. But in case of aawaj.com you dont have to sign in if you enter to the website can see the status and pictures of others. So, limited privacy i s another reason for their failure. Aawaj.com doesnt have any feature to entertai n their users but if we consider other networking sites they have several featur es. Suggestions: With limited user aawaj.com is at primary stage but it has the potential to flou rish in the market. It can work on strategic failure and try to eradicate the pr oblems, from the SWOT analysis it can find out the weakness properly and try to solve them as early as possible it will be very good for them. As a social netwo rking site if they work on their opportunities it will be a different scenario f or them. Mainly it has to set a goal and a projected time by which they have to achieve that goal. Now they have a competition with worlds famous sites so they h ave to be that standard if they want to survive. Company: music.com.bd Music.com.bd Compared with internet averages the site appeals more to users who have post graduate educations, its audience also tends to consist of less afflue nt men under the age of 35 who browse from home. Search engines refer approximat ely 22% of visits to the site. Visitors to Music.com.bd spend approximately 58 s econds on each page view and a total of five minutes on the site during each vis it average load time for music.com.bd Very Slow.

Strategic value proposition: Music.com.bd is a website where people can listen to audio songs online or can d ownload. They mainly emphasize on new albums and the site is mainly popular for no registration or sign in required for listening or downloading songs. Besides songs it has collection of some popular fm radio records like bhoot fm. Music.co m.bd also provide some additional service like request for songs and providing u pdate information over email SWOT analysis: Strengths: New albums available Songs are given in a synchronized way so it is user friendly( like you can find by artist name) Before download you can listen if you want No login or registration required for download User guide available They accept request for songs and you can get update by email if you want News of worldwide songs are also available Songs ringtone is also available Weaknesses: Very few collection of songs create negative impact in user mind Very few users worldwide Only Bengali songs available No video songs available Opportunities: Proper technological support needed to have huge collection of songs which will definitely increase their user To attack more users, they can think to have Hindi songs as well English, this will increase users in our country as well as worldwide Threats: Other websites are the biggest threat for music.com.bd is like musicjalsha.com, doridro.com which are clearly ahead of music.com. Availability of audio songs dvds In recent future may another website come with more resource and capabilities wh ich is also a threat for music.com Strategic failure: Music.com.bd only focuses on new album, yes it is very important but availabilit y of new album is not all .Most of the users look for new albums no doubt but a huge percentage of people also look for old songs or songs of recent past which music.com lacks. They dont have any collection of video songs for which they lack ing behind from others. They ask for request for songs which is very good but on the other hand their response is not good .They have another service which is t hey provide updates by mail if customers get registered but they are very incons istent with the updates which create negative impact in their mind. They are tar geting a specific group of people and providing only Bangla songs of some limite d artist. Solution: In modern time people purchase cds or dvds for songs relatively low rather they go for downloading which is very good for website like this but having only audi o songs it is limiting its potentials because other sites contain video songs ar e really very popular,musicjalsa.com and doridro.com are also taking advantage b y uploading video songs . Now music.com.bd has to increase their service up to the maximum level with the resource and capability available. For request if the y are able to fulfill the requests then its ok but if not they have to apologies or at least communicate which will create an impression on customer mind. They have to achieve technological ability for increasing their services and also ide

ntify the weakness and go for fine tuning as early as possible.
