purified water. These five brands are trusted for their quality of their produced and
marketed drinking water. And these five brands provide the same core benefit,
providing drinking water that meets the standard. All of these brands of drinking

TDS <500 mg, Cadmium <0.003 and Chloride <250. Other mineral concentration
is almost same. Arsenic is not found in Mum, Super Fresh, Spa and Jibon. Each
brand has mentioned at least eight mineral elements available in the water.
3. Brand Name: From these five Brands we have found that Pran, Super Fresh these
two brands name are based on their parent company. A huge number of products
is produced by Pran and Super Fresh such as Pran Masala, Fresh Milk, Fresh

name.
4. Packaging and Labeling: One thing is common among all these five brands are
that they market drinking water in PET bottle. From these five brands the
packaging of Spa, Jibon, Super Fresh, and Pran for 500 ml is very easy to carry.

about 0.01 mg. Other four brands Mum, Super Fresh, Spa, Pran and Jibon have no
presence of Arsenic in their mineral composition.
2) Brand Name: Mum, Jibon and Spa are individual brand name. They can be
differentiated by their own name. The product can be differentiated by their own name.
The brand name if Mum has its own appeal because it is very easily pronounced and
small in characters. On the other hand, it is hard to pronounce the name of the brand
“Super Fresh”. The slogan of Mum is “Pure Trusted Taste”. The idea of being pure and

tasty resides in the mind of the ultimate customers, which brings Mum as the market
leader to us.
3) Packaging and labeling: The bottle of Super fresh for 1 little and two liter is designed
giving preference to the ease of carrying. The 1 liter and 2 liter pack of Super Fresh has
PET bottle having space for grabbing. The leveling of all these brands is almost same
except Spa that shows the picture of nature, and Jibon of which the level is transparent.
Pran drinking water comes in a unique size of 600 ml in the market having a blue label on
it. In the label, Super Fresh has emphasizes on the mineral elements that are available in
the water by mentioning 12 contents, other 4 companies has only mentioned the top 8
mineral elements. The label of Mum drinking water label is dark blue in color where
everything is written in silver on the other hand the label of Jibon is transparent and it is
hard to read the information written in the label.
We can conclude by saying that no matter what the brand name each drinking water has,

thing in common that they all produce drinking water keeping the standard maintained by
BSTI.The market of drinking water is raising in the context of Bangladesh.

communication channels among the media such as, television, newspaper, billboard,
radio, etc, where it carries messages about the product without personal contact,
feedback, including major media, atmosphere and events. It is the process that affects the

Like every other brand, to keep its existing consumers they usually build good and long-
term relationship with the consumers. Building good relationship does not mean only
building a relationship between the company and its consumer but also along with other
various publics. If Super Fresh did not have any public relation, then it would not be in
the place where it is now.
