Introduction
Grameenphone is the largest mobile operator in Bangladesh

was the first company to introduce GSM technology in
Bangladesh. It also established the first 24-hour Call Center to
support its subscribers. With the slogan Stay Close, stated goal
of Grameenphone is to provide affordable telephony to the
entire population of Bangladesh. We have analyzed the
marketing plan of Grameenphone and try to point out their
lacks and suggest some new idea

Market description

cellular service provider in Bangladesh operating a nationwide. Over
the past few years the use of cell phone brought about tangible
changes in the lifestyle of the people of Bangladesh. Today, a cellular

CONCLUSION:
GrameenPhone Ltd is still a growing company, in spite of all the
success it has achieved so far. It holds kind of a monopoly position in
the mobile telecommunications market. However, it cannot afford to
get complacent. Competition is always on the lookout for new ideas
and schemes. In order to maintain its number one position in the
market, it is imperative that GP focus on the people who matter most
to the companies- the people. Now the various dealers, distributors,
outlets, and/or agents are GPs representatives to the people. It is
the impression that these individuals create that will influence
peoples impression of GP. It is thus highly important for GP to act
favorably towards these individuals, give them as much support and
assistance as possible. GP must make time to hear the feelings and
views of these individuals.
