Current Market Situation:

Market demand of juice is growing day by day because people are getting health conscious and want to take fresh juice item from nearby outlet. In Bangladesh, many companies produce a large number of superior varieties of juice. These have wide demand in the market and are commercially important. The study on the current juice market situation has shown that, there is a huge demand of juice in the market but at the same time, people are scared to consume juice because there are reports of using different chemicals on juice while manufacturing such as flavor chemical. So, in order to capture the market juice has to maintain its quality and at the same time earn the trust of the people. Market Description: Juice corner will mainly target banani.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threat Analysis Juice corner has several powerful strengths, which will help it to reach its goal by creating store awareness and positioning. Our major weakness is lack of store awareness and image and experience. Major opportunity for the store is the growing demand in the market in banani. Lack of good quality of our raw material (fruits) in the supply market is a threat. These are summarized in the following. Table- SWOT

Strengths Juice Corner can build on four powerful strengths:

1. Premium quality: Our Company will provide quality juice. We will always maintain best quality and always-standard juice. As we maintain our delivery through our own workers, we can deliver fresh juice to the market. 2. Fresh quality: Our Company is going to deliver fresh quality juice in our customers, as we know in our country lots of business persons sell their juice with chemical. 3. Timely delivery: employees will ensure timely delivery to our customers within 6 minutes. Weaknesses As a new company Juice corner has some shortcomings: 1. Lack of brand awareness: As a start-up Juice corner has not yet established a brand or image in the marketplace. Our customers do not know about our company and business. We will address this area with our promotion. 2. Lack of experience: One of our major weakness is we have no experience of running this business. For this reason, we can have some difficulties at first to run our business. This problem can be overcome to some extent by taking advice from some experienced person in the business. 3. Lack of time: Another weakness in this business is the shortage of time. Juices are available only for a few months in the year such as mango for 6months. So, only in summer season we can sell mango and watermelon juice.

Opportunities Juice corner can take can take advantages of two major market opportunities: 1. Increasing market growth: people are preferring juice for refreshment. They are shifting to juice from cola drinks. For this opportunity, market growth is increasing.

2. Health consciousness: juice is a fresh item and it is good for health. People are getting health conscious day by day and preferring juice.

Threats We face two main threats of our product: 1. Lack of good quality fruit supply: Because of our main objective, we will only sell high quality and fresh juices. But it is very hard to get all good quality fruits. 2. Perish ability: Again one of our major threats is, fruits can be perished.
