Competition:
FM Radio is getting popular day by day. Many analysts predict that this sector will emerge as powerful, effective, reliable media as satellite TV channels in near future. The journey of this sector started by the foundation of ‘Radio Foorti’ in 2002. As we had realized popularity of FM Radio, we decided to set up a new one namely “Radio Onno Wave”. Some tough competitors though three are, we have enough resources, strategies, technical support, highly professional employees to compete with our competitors. Radio Onno Wave is really exceptional from other radios in many aspects. Following is the list of our competitors1. Radio Foorti. 2. Radio Today. 3. Radio Amar. Strengths of our competitors: Compilation of competitors’ strengths is a difficult task since Radio Onno Wave doesn’t directly compete with any of these FM Radios. Many statistics provide closest comparison to us. Other FM Radio’s competitive advantage lies in the fact that they are established in the sector. We perceive their strength to be their visibility. They know how to attract listeners, influence them to stay tuned with them, they are designing and developing new and extraordinary patterns to present programs gorgeously, they have many familiar RJs and hardworking employees. Now-a-days existing FM Radios in our country participate in many occasions and parties as radio partner which facilitates their promotional strategies. The weaknesses of our competitors: The weaknesses that are consistent to all of our competitors are lack of flexibility, their pricing, failure to broadcast programs everywhere and weak frequency. Conclusion: Survival of Radio Onno Wave: Radio Onno Wave will overcome these strengths and take advantage of these weaknesses of our competitors as follows•
As we mentioned earlier, Radio Onno Wave use competition-oriented pricing method. Although there are some established FM Radios, we are unique for our pricing. We charge less than that of our competitors. The difference rate of our service value from our competitors is about 1-30 tk.
•
We broadcast especially songs, news, talk-show, regular update on some important matter, investigative report and the like. There are some critics against existing FM Radios like prolix, dull, tedious presentation, conversation, access advertisement. We have already hired many professional RJs as our host. They will introduce new styles in the presentation of programs that will obviously encourage listeners to stay with us. Varied interests of our programs will definitely create a super image to our customers.
•
We are eager to regain the lost pride of our Bengali Film Industry. We will broadcast songs of movies once in a day, make cordial attempts regularly (such as, features on new movies, performers, stories, interesting aspects of movies) to create positive image of our Bengali films.
•
We are exceptional because of our promotional activities. We have already allocated a huge amount of our capital for our promotional activities. We are contacting with many renowned advertisement producers to advertise our self in an unconventional and interesting way. Interesting thing is that our competitors don’t advertise on TV channels, but we will do that.
