possession, and hence capital appreciation.
Fully Loaded, Plug & Play Concept - Early possession – June 2013 coupled with
fully loaded business suites means its plug & play for dynamic and charged up
professionals.

3. DEVELOPING PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES
Understanding the company, its products and analysis of its competitors, gave me a clear picture about the real estate sector. The major task that I was assigned was to understand the
company objectives, its target audience, and then to develop marketing strategies which
would help company to increase its brand awareness in the real estate sector.
3.1 Introduction:
Promotions are best carried out by implementing advertising and promotion plans.
The desired goals of these plans should depend on the overall goals and strategies of
the organization
3.2 Above the line sales promotion:
Above the line is a type of advertising through media such as TV, cinema, radio, print,
banners and search engines to promote brands. Major uses include television and radio
advertising, web and Internet banner ads. This type of communication is conventional in
nature and is considered impersonal to customers. It differs from Below the line advertising,
which believes in unconventional brand-building strategies, such as direct mail and printed
media (and usually involve no motion graphics).These strategies require huge amount of
investments and are majorly Capital intensive.
3.3 Below the line sales promotions
These are short-term incentives, largely aimed at consumers. With the increasing pressure on
the marketing team to achieve communication objectives more efficiently in a limited budget,
there has been a need to find out more effective and cost efficient ways to communicate with
the target markets. This has led to a shift from the regular media based advertising. These
strategies involve high level of ground work involving manpower and is hence more of
Labor intensive.

4.1 Deciding on promotional plan:
The plan usually faces three questions.
Which segment of the market should be targeted?
What message should be conveyed to them?
How to do this?
For each service we first consider all forms of media which are available for
promotion like TV, radio, newsletters, classifieds, displays/signs, posters, word of
mouth, press releases, direct mail, special events, brochures, neighbourhood
newsletters, etc, & then decide which suits the organization. Our selection of media
should be based on two factors affordability & accessibility.
4.2 Steps involved in developing the promotional strategy:
To develop a promotional strategy one should understand the target audience, analyze
the competitor strategies, understand the company constraints, and other factors which
can then be used to develop a comprehensive strategy to meet the company objective.
The steps involved in developing strategies for Earth-Infrastructure can be enumerated
as:-
STEP 1: Understanding company objective
STEP 2: Understanding Segmenting Targeting Positioning
STEP 3: Analyzing company constraints
STEP 4:Methods suggested

31 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
STEP 1: Understanding the Company‘s Objective:-
Earth Infrastructures is a national player and is comparatively a new entrant in the real
estate sector. The company has relatively gained great awareness in the Delhi & NCR
market and its projects are scattered all over India.
So the major objective of the company for conducting promotions this year was:-
Hit the target audience directly, in cost effective manner
Create Brand Awareness for the company in new markets & generate business
for the company.
Create competitive advantage (comparing competitors)
Create exact positioning for companies in the mind of target audience
Reminding the audience in the existing market
And ultimately to generate sales
STEP 2: Segmenting, Targeting and Positioning
Segmentation —
A segment is a group sharing one or more characteristics that cause them to have
similar product and/or service needs.
Segmentation can be done depending on many variables which represents specific nature of
the group, some of the variables are:
Geographic
Region ,country ,Density of Area, Climate
Demographic variables
age ,gender ,family ,family life cycle, education , income, occupation
socioeconomic, religion, nationality/race , language
Psychographic variables
personality ,life style, value, attitude
Behavioral variables
benefit sought ,product usage rate, brand loyalty, product end use

32 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
readiness-to-buy stage, decision making unit, profitability, income status
Segmentation at Earth Infrastructures
Earth Infrastructures defines its segment on the basis of Demographic Variables, primarily considering the factors Age, Occupation and Income. The managements
job is to formulate new and creative strategies to target different segments of the
market.
Also the investors are segmented on basis of their financial background (i.e. Business
man and service class people) which helps to classify two different segments which
have to be targeted with different promotional strategies. The age & the need of the
investors also help us in segmenting the clients and thus facilitate Earth Infrastructures
to find its target market more accurately.
Targeting:
For any organization it is not possible to serve every segment, so the marketer decides
to serve the segment which provides the maximum opportunity, a process which is
known as Targeting.
Targeting at Earth Infrastructures —
Considering the constraints of finances, time and other factors, Earth Infrastructures
has different promotional strategies for different segments such as high, middle &
lower income group of people .
Earth Infrastructures generates a lot of business from tier 2 cities, so our marketing
and promotional activities are carried out in these cities as well. We offer the same
product to people from different segment of market but with different promotional
strategies.
Earth Infrastructures specifically focuses on Professionals, Businessmen & NRI‟s and
the promotional strategies are formulated in such a manner that they directly reach the
target audience e.g. Door to door activity, canopy activities.

33 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
Positioning:
It is the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of
their target market for its product, brand, or organization.
Positioning at Earth Infrastructures —
Most of the competitors serve more than one segment, with no clear positioning of
their company.
The market has a stiff competition as a large number of real estate developers have
been coming in the city at different locations. Many players have positioning in terms
of Quality-Prices modal, others on basis of location and so on, but no player in the
market specifically focuses on being environment friendly by introducing the green
building concept and we very firmly believe in customer satisfaction
The following distinction separates us from our competitors:
1. LEED Certified - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) consistsof a suite of rating systems for the design, construction and operation of high
performance green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. We are the first LEED certified
real estate developers.
2. CREDAI Member - The Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum has been enacted to
provide better protection to the interests of customers connected with the “member real -
estate developers - CREDAI NCR” and for that purpose to make provision for the
establishment of authorities for the settlement of customer‟s dispute and other related
matters.

The overall STP analysis of the company helps in understanding which market to be catered,
and hence helps in customizing the overall promotional effort to be channelized in the same
direction facilitating the best utilization of the available resources and meeting the company
objectives.
STEP 3: Analyzing Company Constraints
Earth Infrastructures has just entered into the market of real estate. It is their 2 year of
operation. With the presence of number of competitors in the market and also with the
increasing brand value of the major leader, it was very difficult for EarthInfrastructures make its presence felt. Apart from this, there were some other
constraints also which were to be kept in mind while designing the promotional
strategies. They were:-
Financial Constraint: Earth Infrastructures is a Self – funded organization which was
started in 2010. Problem which was confronted by our company in its promotional &
advertising campaign was lack of funds for advertisements on television.
STEP 4: Methods suggested
A strategy had to be developed wherein the target audience could be hit directly in the most
cost effective manner and conveying the message clear to the audience.
So it was decided to use below the line marketing strategy. The strategies used were:-
1) Direct mail: Mails were sent directly to the customers to provide them detailedinformation about the Commercial and Residential projects of Greater Noida with
an immediate calling helpline to generate response.
2) Pamphlet Distribution: The company also adopted a very effective way of
promotion i.e. Pamphlet Distribution The distribution was done in two main
promotional activities of the companies: Canopies and Marketplaces. The activity
helped the organization to hit a very refined crowd, directly the target audience.
3) Posters & Banners: Posters and Banners can be very powerful when placed where
the customers will actually notice them. Hence various posters were placed on the
7/28/2019 Earth Project on real estate
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/earth-project-on-real-estate 36/43
36 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
pillars of the Delhi Metro and Banners were placed on the back of the cars of
general public. The company has also put some hoardings on the road side.
4) Telemarketing: The use of telemarketing is on the rise as the response rate in
comparison to other promotional tools is very high. All the work done during the
outdoor publicity lead to collection of huge investors data, the dedicated telesales
were planned to convert this data into the final sales.

5. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOR ENTIRE COMPANY
The main objective of the project was to develop the business processes at Earth
Infrastructures Ltd. It has just entered the real estate sector, so the basic aim of this project is
Business Development that is generating business for them by attracting investors to the
newly launched projects situated in Greater Noida. This would include structuring of the
entire business so as to increase the efficiency of the work done at Earth Infrastructures
Ltd.
The main activities conducted for Business Development were:
5.1 BRANDING
The major aim of the branding activity was to increase the visibility of Earth Infrastructures
in various zones.
The activity needed promotional effort of distributing Free Gifts at different locations to
create brand awareness and increase brand recognition.
The main tools used in the process were:-
Cloth bags
Caps and T-shirts
Banners & Hoardings
Pamphlets and Brochures
Standees
Cloth Bags were specially designed by the company which had the company‟s name, logo,
address and telephone numbers printed on it and these bags were freely distributed in the
market to create awareness about earth‟s Projects.
Similarly the Caps and T-shirts were also designed for promotional purposes with the name
and logo of the company printed on it and was freely distributed in the market to
Create brand awareness and to generate interest about the Earth‟s projects in the minds of the
people.
7/28/2019 Earth Project on real estate
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/earth-project-on-real-estate 38/43
38 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
In designing the banners and hoardings the main aim was to create recognition of the
company name and its address, so the design majorly comprised of the name and address
with the company tag line presented along.
The banners were placed inside the vehicles of all the employees of the company which acted
as a great promotional technique and hence these banners were made in such a way that they
were visible to each every person even at far distances.
Pamphlets and Brochures were distributed randomly to each and every person in the
respective zone which made the people take a glance at Earth‟s Projects in brief hence
creating brand awareness.
The Standees were placed as they are more informational in nature discussing elements such
as the benefits to the investors, facilities provided, and other core advantages for the company
All the efforts were channelized effectively and efficiently and in the proper manner and
helped the company in generating leads by creating brand awareness.
5.2 ACTIVITIES
In our two months internship program in Earth Infrastructures, I have learnt a lot about real
corporate world. In this two months‟ time span, I have conducted lots of activities with the
help of my team head and my team members. I along with my team members had conducted
many Activities and we can classify the activities into two categories: Field Activities and In-
house Activities.
We can further classify the Field Activities into three categories:-
1.) Canopy Activity: On every Saturdays and Sundays, we used to place our Canopies near
the site of our Greater Noida Projects. We had to set up a Canopy and look for the people
who were passing by in their Car's and people who were interested used to stop their car and
ask for the details. Then we used to explain them the project and ask them for the Site Visit
7/28/2019 Earth Project on real estate
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/earth-project-on-real-estate 39/43
39 Nayan Mehta (12BSP1910)
so that they can get a clearer picture of what they are or will invest in and they were
encouraged for an official meeting.
2.) Market Activity: I also visited at various shops in the markets of South X, Karol Bagh,
Chandni Chowk, Chawri Bazar, and Noida. We need to explain the people about the project
with the help of pamphlets and brochures provided by the company and exchanged my
Visiting cards with theirs to generate the data.
3.) Apartment Activity: We have also put our Canopies in the Krishna Residency Apartment
of Noida sec.51. We used to explain our whole project to the residents of the Apartment.
STEPS OF ACTIVITIES
1) TEAM DEVELOPMENT:
This phase of the activity was the development of the teams, which means that we have to
work in a team of 2-3 members and visit the shops in the markets and stand for the Canopies
and target the perspective investors.
2) LEAD GENERATION: In this phase I along with my team members went to the
perspective investors and make them understood about our real estate projects of Greater
Noida. We use to tell them about the facts that after investing how this property can be
fruitful to them.
Then in the end we use to take the name and number of that customer.
3) CALLING:
The next step was to call on the database which was collected by me and my team members
of those persons who were showing interest in buying the property. We used to call them to
provide more information about our product, if they needed or to ask them for a Meeting.
4) FOLLOW - UP:
I used to maintain a proper follow up and try to convert the hot leads into deal closing. I
used to call them again according to their convenience. I keep the follow up of that particular
lead to make sure that the investors don‟t miss any information about our product and try to
convert him into a real investor for the company.

5.3 The Most Effective Promotional Activity
As I have mentioned earlier that we have adopted many promotional activities such as
Canopies, Market Activity, Residential Activity, Distributing pamphlets and caps etc. But
from my personal experience in Earth Infrastructures, I think that Canopy Activity near our
site is the most effective activity. This activity has been proved to be very fruitful because at
Canopy I was able to meet the interested investors and make them understand the whole
project of our company, and at the same time I was able to take the investor to the site for the
site visit so that they can get a clearer picture of what they are or will invest in. The Activity
saves our three steps at the same time.
