Intro……….

More than half of all men and nearly one in three women use tobacco in Bangladesh, according to a latest study on tobacco consumption. Bangladesh ranked among top tobacco consuming countries where 57,000 people over the age of 30 die each year from tobacco-related illness.

But it also revealed that the net loss to the economy due to tobacco is much higher than revenues earned from tobacco in the country.

  So here I am going to discuse about some of our

Domestic Cigarettes and some Foreign Branded Cigarette

Place & Promotion

• Place:  Place strategies include decisions concerning distribution,

agent type, storage, and transportation systems. The primary venues of cigarette are retail outlets:

convenience stores, small grocery or “corner” stores, gas stations, liquor stores, supermarkets, mass merchants, pharmacies, and tobacco stores. The retail channel is ideally positioned to target the lower income and racial/ethnic minority populations who smoke cigarettes. Indeed, inequities in the concentration of tobacco retailers by neighborhood demographics are well documented.

Place & Promotion

Promotion: The main goals of the Promotion part of the marketing mix are to inform,

persuade and remind. Informing is generally considered important for newly developed products in order to tell

consumers something about the product. Branding is the use of a name, term, symbol or design to identify a product and the creation of a ‘brand image,’ is key to a successful promotional

strategy. The aim of branding is to create a set of associations or perceptions about a brand in the mind of consumers, so that they will want to buy try the product and keep buying it. Persuasion‐based promotions often link products with desirable images (such as lifestyle or healthful imagery) and identities (such as slogans or brand symbols). tobacco advertising has been dominated by three broad themes: providing satisfaction (taste, freshness, mildness etc.),

As reported to the Federal Trade Commission, current promotional activities for cigarettes include advertising (print media and point‐of‐sale), direct marketing (direct mail, coupons, distribution of free cigarettes and specialty items, company website, other internet and telephone), sponsorship,public entertainment, promotional allowances for wholesalers and retailers, and retail price.
