    Education System of Pakistan

    Education is considered as one of the primary tool for the success of any country. Without

    education a human being can not accurately distinguish between the right and wrong. Pakistanis an Islamic state and according to our religion Islam, Education is compulsory for every human

    being.

    Pakistan is a democratic state and according to the constitution of 1973,Education in Pakistan is

    overseen by the government Ministry of Education. The academic institutions are the

    responsibility of the provincial governments whereas the federal government mostly assists in

    curriculum development, accreditation and some financing of research.

    The education system of Pakistan is composed of government and private institutions, but the

    basic structure of education in Pakistan is classified as:

    This graph clearly shows that from the beginning of Pakistan only its two provinces are

    educationally strong i-e Punjab and Sindh. The reason behind them is that Sindh includes the

    Karachi city which is the economic heart of Pakistan and that is why due to economic activities

    the focus of the people is towards the education side. Punjab being the province of 5 rivers , is

    strong on the agriculture side and factories also. Most of the important institutions of Pakistan

    lies in the province of Punjab, this the reason behind the higher literacy rate of Punjab as

    compared to the other provinces.

    Promotion

    Promotion is one of the four elements of marketing mix. It is the communication link between

    sellers and buyers for the purpose of influencing, informing, or persuading a potential buyer'spurchasing decision.

    The following are two types of promotion:

    Above the line promotion: Promotion in mass media (e.g. TV, radio, newspapers, internet,

    mobile phones, and, historically, illustrated songs) in which the advertiser pays an advertising

    agency to place the advertisement

    Below the line promotion: All other promotion. Much of this is intended to be subtle enough

    for the consumer to be unaware that promotion is taking place. E.g. sponsorship, product

    placement, testimonials, sales promotion, merchandising, direct mail, personal selling, public

    relations, trade shows.

    The insurance companies around the globe follow a mix the ABL and BLL promotion strategy.

    Fortune Insurance will divide its promotional activity into tow portions to remain cost

    conscious. Considering Pakistani environment to create basic awareness of educational

    insurance the campaign will be done through teaser campaigns on radio and Internet .Since

    these mediums are cheaper as compare to TV and radio so basic information about the concept

    of educational insurance will be conveyed through the sources which cost less. Free

    Flyers,mailing, personal selling will be extensively used in this regard to make sure the minimaladvertising cost is served while creating the basic awareness.

    TV, radio and newspaper advertisements will come into play when the company thinks that

    now its now time to grab the attention of the target group. TV is one of finest way of

    promotion but an expensive option to pursue so this medium should be optimally used to add

    consumer value to the company.

    Placement

    Fortune insurance will have its head office in Islamabad which will provide the coordination for

    all the other branches which will be initially opened in all provisional capitals including:

    Lahore Karachi Quetta Peshawar

    Since our target market is educated middle class so the service is primarily urbanized. Apart

    from these areas in the long run we will open branches in cities like Faisalabad, Multan; Sialkot

    which are highly populated areas .These branches will have structures according to the need of

    the particular area. These cities also have the highest number of universities and colleges so it is

    a favorable option to start with these areas. The literacy rate due to this is also higher as

    compare to the other urban areas.

    Segmentation:

    The process of dividing a potential market into distinct subsets of consumers and selecting one

    or more segments as a target market to be reached with a distinct marketing mix.

    A true market segment meets all of the following criteria:

    It is distinct from other segments (different segments have different needs). It is homogeneous within the segment (exhibits common needs). It responds similarly to a market stimulus, and it can be reached by a market

    intervention.

    The term is also used when consumers with identical product and service needs are divided up

    into groups so they can be served best. The people in a given segment are supposed to be

    similar in terms of criteria by which they are segmented and different from other segments in

    terms of these criteria.

    Market segmentation is resorted to for achieving certain practical purpose. For example, it has

    to be useful in developing and implementing effective and practical marketing programs. For

    this to happen, the segments arrived at must meet certain criteria such:-

    Identifiable:

    The differentiating attributes of the segments must be measurable so that they can be

    identified.

    Accessible:

    The segments must be reachable through communication and

    Distribution channels.

    Sizeable:

    The segments should be sufficiently large to justify the resourcesrequired to target them. A

    very small segment may not serve commercialexploitation.

    20 | P a g e

    Measurable:

    The potential of the segments as well as the effect of a specificmarketing mix on them should

    be measurable.

    Segments must be compatible with firms resources andcapabilities.

    variables (e.g., region, state, or city)

    such characteristics as

    Sex Marital Status Age Income Education Occupation Size of family unit. Total income of family unit. Ethnic or religious background. Job classification (blue collar versus salaried or professional).

  • 8/2/2019 Fortune Education Policy

    Psychological Segmentation:

    Segmentation of Fortune Education

    Insurance:

    Our insurance policy is being segmented on the hybrid segmentation. Fortune education

    insurance is a hybrid of the following segmentations:

    1. Demographic Segmentation.2. Psycographic Segmentation.3. Geographic Segmentation.

    DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION:

    Demographics consists of dividing the market into groups based on variables such as age,

    gender family size, income, occupation, education, religion, race and nationality.

    Demographic segmentation variables are amongst the most popular bases for segmenting

    customer groups. This is partly because customer wants are closely linked to variables such as

    income and age. Also, for practical reasons, there is often much more data available to help

    with the demographic segmentation process.

    The reason for picking demographic segmentation is that it revolves around income level,

    occupation and job classification etc of the consumer.

    FORTUNE insurance policy is serving the middle class people of the society.

    The main demographic segmentation of our education insurance policy is given below:

    Age:

    Consumer needs and wants change with age although they may still wish to consumer the same

    types of product. So we designed and promote our service differently to meet the wants ofdifferent age groups.

    Income:

    Another popular basis for segmentation. Many companies target affluent consumers with

    luxury goods and convenience services. Fortune education insurance target customers are

  • 8/2/2019 Fortune Education Policy

    25/43

    25 | P a g e

    those people who have an income bracket of minimum 30,000 per month. So in order words

    we can say that the target consumer should have the disposal income of 100,000 rupees per

    annum.

    Job classification:

    The job classification basically differentiates consumer on the basis of the following factors:

    Blue collared consumer. Salaried or professional people. White collared people: White collared people are the officers working for any

    organization.

    Salaried or professional people: Professional are those who are working at a highsalary and are being paid a handsome amount for their work

    Basic Background:

    The consumer being targeted under this head is mainly the working class people. These people

    normally are more family oriented and are not a part of the hi-fi crowd of the society. The

    targeted consumer is has an ethnic and religious background as well. They have deep roots

    when it comes to cultural background.

    Marital Status:

    The marital status of the consumer is evidently married, since it is an educational insurancepolicy to ensure the safe and a sound academic future of your child.

    Occupation:

    As described earlier the targeted consumer is a hard core working class or as we call them the

    9-5 job people. Keeping in mind the min salary bracket written above the consumer should be

    at working as a grade 17.

    Social class

    We believe that a consumer "perceived" social class influences their purchase power. So to

    cope up with that we have placed our insurance plan that is targeting to the middle class family.

  • 8/2/2019 Fortune Education Policy

    26/43

    26 | P a g e

    GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION:

    The vision for any business or initiative is always associated with profit and growth. To enhance

    the possibilities of both these much desired end results, the approach has to be segment

    specific and focused on the targeted market. According to the volume of business and the

    target market, it becomes necessary for us identify specific zones and market requirements for

    our insurance plan.

    Population Density:

    Segmentation on the basis of populationdensity such as urban, sub-urban, rural etc.The main

    target consumer of FORTUNE insurance are the inhabitants of urban society.

    Region:

    People in one area might reflect similar characteristics; it is one way of evaluation human

    behavior based on common factors. People living in a particular area and territory might show

    some similar personality traits and common interests. Same is the case here people living in the

    well-known cites or rather the capital cities of Punjab ,Sindh ,Kyber Pakhtoon Kha are the core

    target consumer for our product. Reason behind that they are living in such an environment

    (society) that it is comparatively easier to break through them.

    Urban Areas:

    People living in a city, they face almost similar problems every day; they are part of similar

    occasions, celebrations, and events. So this influences the characteristics to reflect in a similar

    pattern. Geographic priorities also depend on the brands. In some area one brand might be

    very popular and famous. But in other areas it is quite possible people like different brands.

    Quite similar is the scenario here. City people are more adaptive to the insurance plans because

    they know that they live in a city is in a hassle and bustle kind of situation always. The city life ismore exposed and technically equipped which does bring convenience but at the same time a

    lot of unfortunate accidents .Every second day we see a road accident, car smashed badly

    people dead. Thus conforming that the value of a human life is almost negligible and any

    unfortunate accidents can lead them to misery.

    So eventually the main target of our service id the urban areas. People who want to leave a

    secure life for their children so that the child is do not suffer academically.

    27/43

    27 | P a g e

    Size:

    Segmentation on the basis of size of a metropolitan area asper its population size. Ourinsurance policy will be targeting the well known and popular cities of the country like Karachi,

    Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Peshawar. Reason behind that they are living in such an

    environment (society) that it is comparatively easier to break through them. And along with

    that, we aim to hit the masses, which live in these cities mainly.

    Psychographic Segmentation:

    Psychographic Segmentation groupscustomers according to their life-style and buying

    psychology. The purchase of FORTUNE Insurance is based on the attitudes, beliefs and

    emotions of their target market. The desire for need, enhanced educational finance security is

    example of psychographic variables. These are the factors that influence our customers' in the

    investing decision. A Psychographic Segmentation includes variables such as:-

    Interests:

    To learn deeply the interest of the consumer. People in a country, they show some similar

    characteristics, they speak same language, the religion might be similar, they might wear

    specific design and quality of cloths, they might have similar likes and dislikes. They might show

    attraction towards some specific food or taste, they ideological sense can be similar to some

    extent because of living in a specific region.

    So eventually the main target of our service id the urban areas, keeping in mind the above

    discussed factors. They are the people who normally dont like to take risks .They want to make

    sure that what so ever they do, they have a strong grip over it.

    Opinions:

    The opinions that consumers hold and the activities they engage in will have a huge impact on

    the products they buy and need to be aware of any changes. Like the growth of demand for

    organic foods or products environmentally friendly. Its an opinion that the consumer has

    developed regarding the product.

    What FEI is trying to do is they want to infuse their customers minds with the opinion that it is a

    necessary item that you need in order to give way to your childs future. The target consumer

    for FEI is the one who knows the importance of the insurance plan and believes that the policy

    can do wonders in order to pursue the childs dreams.

    Attitudes

    The core target markets for FEI are those people who dont like to take risks in life. The consumer,

    who is aware of the fact that we live in a world of uncertainty, where anything can be expected

    anytime. Even in Maslows second tier. Security is their main concern. For people who are

    sustenance-driven, the world can be dark and forbidding place and they secure themselves

    against it. Consumer, who want to prepare and embrace themselves and want a backup plan before

    they are hit by any unfortunate mishap,. People who think more on a long term basis.

    BRAND IMAGE:

    The brand image is the perception that a certain product or service develops in the mind of the

    people. The brand perception of all the insurance plan or policy is some way the same i.e. to

    provide the security against any unfortunate accidents in life.

    Same is the case in FORTUNE education insurance. The color scheme being used in the print ad

    combination ofyellow, white and green (in the logo as well) delivers a very warm, relaxed and

    pure image of the company. Making certain that you are in safe and reliable hands.

    BRAND PERSONALITY

    Personality is linked to how consumers make their choices or to consumption of a broad

    product category - not a specific brand

    Target Market in terms of Demographic Segmentation:

    Pakistan is the country with population of 187 million, its major population segments lives in its

    rural areas and less than half of its population lives in the

    urban areas.

    We are targeting the child age group of 0- 18years, with their

    parent age group at the start of the policy 25- 50years.

    According to the report of ministry of population Pakistan,

    the age group of 0- 14 years constitutes the 36.7% of the

    population of Pakistan and the age group of 15- 64years

    constitutes around 60% of the overall population of the

    country.

    If you will look at the Fortune education policy document wehave mentioned our criteria which suits best with the

    demographics of Pakistan.

    The major part of the demographics is the income bracket of

    the people. Fortune policy is basically for the people who

    have a disposable income of Rs 100,000 per anum or a

    monthly salary of Rs 20,000 to Rs 45,000.

    Our packages our very simple, it is for those parents which

    were worried for the studies of their children, you will seethat by paying Rs 617 every month you will get you child

    admission in good universities of the country.

    Due to the last few years due to the increase in the inflation the poverty in Pakistan increased

    which further increases the fears and worries of the parents regarding their children education.

    Profession or Occupation matters a lot in the demographic segmentation, Fortune Education

    Policy is especially for the government officers, supervisors, retired officers, homemakers and

    for farmers. Because we think that they lie in the above mentioned income bracket.

    targeting purpose three main points of psychographic segmentation is necessary;

    Social Class Life style AIOs

    Fortune educational policy is targeting the middle class families and somehow catering the

    lower middle class families.

    Families belonging to the middle class segment in which parents are somehow educated than

    they will understand the concept and the need of the education insurance policy for the bright

    future of their child. If parents know about the importance of the education and they have

    limited resources for their child education than Fortune education is the only solution for the

    bright career of their childs future.

    Targeting the attitude of the consumer is very important, Fortune education insurance policy

    will grab the attention of those customers who thinks that they are living in the world of

    uncertainty and no one knows what will happen after a minute or a second.

    Fortune education policy will also attract the attention of those people which are highly

    involved or interested in the education segments, because they will judge that at very minimal

    interest rate offering such a huge amount is not an easy job.
