Analysis of Competitors
There are a few competitors in our business and none of them
are widely known. Competition in a little stiff in the animal
clinic category as there are a few animal hospitals and namely
one or two animal shops. There is also a high profile bird
market in Kohati area which might prove a testing competitorfor us. There are two main competitors for us in the Peshawar
market.
A. The medical hospitals that provide veterinarian services
and animal medicines and vaccination. Animal hospital
and clinic (10-Jawad Plaza, Pajaggi Road BachaKhan
Chowk Peshawar, Pakistan).

about 90% of
Peshawar market
Pricing Strategy The prices are low
but the quality is
second to none.
They dont really
care about animalsand they are not
treated well by the
doctors.
High prices & good
quality but the
monopoly has
helped them dictate
their own prices withhigh profit margins
for too long
Promotion Strategy They dont really
promote themselves
and is the main
reason for lack of
public knowledge
about them
A usual pamphlet is
issued to promote
one entrants into
that market but
word of mouth is the
main promoter for
that market
Strengths They have specific
users and provide a
colt like experience
to them their
customers aresatisfied with them.
They deal in birds
that are commonly
liked and are bought
on daily basis
Weaknesses The lack of quality in
services and lack of
quality doctors is
their biggest
weakness
High price and a flair
of fraud to trap
innocent customers
has created some
bad repute for them
in their market
Analysis of Customers
9

8/6/2019 furfact pet store
10/21
Our customer frequent for common animals but are rare forspecial animals. This mainly due to the price differencebetween them. The customer doesnt have much power in thismarket and business usually enjoy monopoly. The customers
are weak and dont have much say in setting up the prices.
Analysis of Suppliers
Our suppliers are the licensed importers and exporters of
animals having the full rights to sell all the breeds that are
bought by us. Our suppliers are usually the foreign exporters of
animals. We also remain in close contact with the local
exporters trying to buy fully licensed special breeds of animal
that can be sold to our customers.
Threat of New Entrants
This market is a undiscovered market of possibilities in
Peshawar and the threat of new entrants will be at its
maximum once a business is fully established in this market.
The new businesses will be opened as the market becomes
profitable and attractive.
Threat of Substitute Products
The substitute products though present have little fame among
the people nad pose no real threat to our products.

Situation analysis
The companys situation analysis is based on the customer,
competitor, context, and segmentation and targeting. Furfect
pet store is going to start its operations for the first time. Basedon data gathered through marketing survey conducted using
questionnaires the ideology behind Furfect has gain mainly
positive feedback from the target customers.

having a clear vision in mind. We are only providers of pets and
pet related services. We deal in variety of breeds and also

Customers
Our primary customers will be people who love pets

We will try to create customers from people who areundecided about pets and have a soft spot for them
Context
Political and legal context
Pakistan is suffering from political instability and which has
created import hurdles. The focus has mainly been onimproving political structure and thus legislations regarding
animals have been overlooked.
Economic environment
Economy is unstable and major inflation has led to higher
prices and costs. This instability has given an excuse to the
external investors who have taken out their investments a
have left a huge gap in market leaving the businessenvironment very fishy.

Socio-cultural
The dominance of Islamic ideology regarding the infectivity ofdogs has created a major misconception about other animals
too and people are afraid to buy pets. Also the people who
have pets are considered to be dirty which leads to people
disliking pets.
Technological Environment
Though a little slow to adapt to technology at first, now the
Pakistani technological environment is growing very fast. Therequired technology will easily be available in metropolitan
cities and thus can be imported to Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa.
Target Market
We will target Peshawar cantonment and university area and
will increase to city and to whole Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa
province overtime.

Market summary
Pets are a vacuum market with no companies to fill customers
needs. The market is there to be taken and we are taking the
first initiative. A certain kind of dissatisfaction exists among

medication taken by them. Pets; as several researches
suggest; can be used as therapy treatment to reduce and
control tension and blood pressure constantly.
