fleets of vehicles, such as delivery companies, taxi services, or rental car
companies, may require regular maintenance, repairs, or diagnostics for their
vehicles. EngineCare can offer efficiency and convenience in managing
these needs.

companies like Uber or Lyft, or delivery services like DoorDash or Uber
Eats, rely heavily on their vehicles for their livelihood. Quick and
convenient access to mechanic services, especially during off-peak hours,
can be highly valuable to them.

hours may find EngineCare particularly appealing. The flexibility of
scheduling appointments online and potentially receiving services at their
home or workplace can be a significant benefit.

Marketing Strategies
o Target Marketing:
For target marketing, we are using “Differentiated Marketing”
So, our company will target several market segments and offer different types of
services according to customers. Our target market is divided into two segments
“Inside Dhaka” & “Outside Dhaka”.
We’ll be serving according to demands of customers
# Inside Dhaka: As we all know “Dhaka” is the busiest city in our country. Every
service is available here. Customer can easily get their service with a call. It’s quite
easy to get a service. As our company is an online based service company, people
inside Dhaka won’t be interested in our service much. As there are so many
competitors so, this market is not out priority. Though we’ll provide service in
here, it will be as normal as we provide in remote areas. If any customers contact
us, we are going to provide mechanic for their vehicle.
#Outside Dhaka: We differentiated market in two segments & this is our main
target area. It is quite easy to get service inside Dhaka but when you are travelling
in different parts of our country, it’s quite impossible to find a mechanic in remote
areas. That’s where our service starts. We are going to provide repairing service in
those remote areas where the mechanics are unavailable or not familiar.
Here is a list of some Roads & Highways:
Sl.no. Route Length
1 Dhaka- Camilla-Chittagong-Cox’s bazar 455 Km (283 mi)
2 Dhaka-Manikganj-Bogra-Thakurgaon-Panchagarh 507km(315mi)
9
3 Dhaka-Sherpur-sylhet-jaflong 286km(178mi)
4 Dhaka-Magura-Jhenaidah-khulna 252km(157mi)
5 Dhaka-Pabna-Rajhshahi 150km(93mi)
In those routes, mechanics are not available that much. And it’s quite tough to find
mechanic. And sometimes people face some issues of “unskilled mechanic”. They
do not give good service. So, people face a lot of sufferings. We’ll provide skillful
mechanics and best service at customers’ location.
Marketing Mix
1. Product
People go to mechanic garage to fix their vehicle; it is a common scene that most
of the mechanics are under aged and amateur. And well, they are prone to making
mistakes which may cause further damage. However, we are offering qualified
adult mechanics who are highly trained to make your vehicle run on its wheels. We
are going to provide 24 hours service anywhere in our country.
Anyone who knows how to use internet can download the app or visit our website
to get the service available. It's time saving, easily accessible and also offers a
high-quality performance.
2. Price
We're offering this service at an affordable rate for you to get easy access to our
service. Price amount of services will be available in our website and app, and
when the mechanic identifies the problem, you will be charged at a fixed rate. And
if you get dissatisfied with our mechanic's work, you can drop a complaint in the
customer care corner of our website. If proven wrong, we guarantee your money
