1. Introduction
I. Company
The name of our company is “Fly Angel” with the tagline “Have wings with us”. We mainly
focus on the quality, comfort and proper hygiene. We are targeting females falling in between 13
years to 45 years whose income ranges from below 20000 to 50000 and above. We are selling
our product at a relatively lower price as we focus on every income level group.
II. Product’s description
We have come up with the sanitary napkin made up of cotton and gauge which can be
disposable. It is feminine hygiene products, including maxi pads, ultra-thin pads. It is designed
for women to provide a feel of dryness during menstruation. It has a cottony soft cover with a
high absorbency to soak the wetness during heavy flow and give long lasting protection. The
stretchable wings in the pads wrap around the panties to keep the pad in place, while the fresh
odorless pearls capture and lock away period odor.
Sanitary napkins are more commonly referred to sanitary pads or simply pads. They come in a
variety of shapes, sizes, thickness, types and materials so that one can decide for themselves
what will best suit your needs. It comes in various types:
a) Panty Liners:
It is the thinnest type of sanitary napkin available. They can be short and slim to
fit into underwear or thongs or they can be long enough to cover a regular pantie.
b) Regular or Medium Flow:
It is the common type of pad which is available in every store. It is a usually the
same length as a long panty liner but a bit thicker as it need to absorb more
blood and best for days when one is not bleeding heavily.
c) Heavy Flow:
They are not the same as regular or overnight pads. It is a bit longer and thicker
than regular ones .one of the features of this kind of pad is that they have wings
on the bottom of the liner which secure around the sides and outside of the panties
for extra security.
d) Overnight Pads:
They tend to be thickest and offer the most coverage on any type of sanitary
napkin. For sound sleep, this type of pad has very long and wide to cover as they
are extra absorbent and offer more protection than other types of pads.
2. Vision statements:

targeted customers.

11. Conclusion
In an era of social media prevalence, brands can rise and fall within minutes through
positive or negative feedback online. Today, consumers value a brand based on measures that go
beyond product or service. Claiming something and being unable to deliver that you promised
will destroy your brand within a blink of an eye. Customer experience and brand promise are
frequently intertwined – the value of a brand can be easily weakened if customer’s expectations
are not aligned with company’s promises. Thus, we will make sure that our product will be
designed in such a way that it meets the expectations of customers generated through the brand
claiming. Meeting the expectation in today's competitive market is not enough for a brand to
survive for a long term. Therefore, Fly Angel will be proactive in offering comfort, hygiene and
quality sanitary napkins for customers that will delight customers. Marketing battle is not fought
in the market, but it is fought in the mind of customers. Keeping this in mind, we try to create the
brand for Fly Angel in the minds of customers which they perceive as one of the best sanitary
napkins to use.
Fly Angel aims to serve local customers by providing local products in good quality and
at the best price. Since, the phenomenon is not new, it has several competitors such as Whisper,
Stayfree, PADelux, Sofy etc. Some of them are already established brands. Thus, the business
might have to face direct competition from its direct competitors. The major focus is made on
quality, customer satisfaction and overall continuous improvement of the product. We are quite
optimistic that Fly Angel will meet its objectives and mission through its competitive
advantages. For promotion and marketing, we will be focusing highly on social media
promotions, advertisements, and we will be providing discounts on several occasions as well. We
will be conducting workshops as well in rural areas to increase awareness on menstrual hygiene.
Furthermore, we will be creating an official Facebook page, Instagram account, and twitter
account as well to reach a wider audience around the country. We will be staying in touch with
our customers via social networking sites. Similarly, we will launch a FAQ section where our
customers can directly interact and ask us their queries. Since, Fly Angel is a national brand, we
will be providing employment opportunities to local people. We aspire to create more job
opportunities to semi-skilled and uneducated people as well. We will also be contributing
towards CSR activities once in a year with an intention to serve the society as well as to reach a
wider audience. We will be conducting workshops as well as awareness programmes in untapped
rural markets of the country with an aim to raise awareness among women regarding the
infections and health hazards that they will face if they do not use sanitary napkins. We are
affirmative with our strategies to render quality products and satisfy our customer.
