V. MARKET AND INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
A. Costumer Profile
1. Segment Description
The kind of market we operate in is characterized by the volatility of its general
environment, the dynamism of its competitors and most of all the varying and the inconsistency
of needs and buying preferences of the consumers market, which are important consideration
guiding their day to day lives. Keeping this in mind, we conducted a marketing study, which
starts with identifying the differences that exists within a market, deciding which segments will
be selected and developing specific marketing mixes so as to influence intended customers, and
overall perception of our brand. In this time, ice candy is very important to lessen the heat that
we feel.
Age:
This is the most important component of demographic segmentation. Over the years, ice
candy were considered to as being more of a recreational product, but standing on this new
century, the effect of globalization has placed ice candy as more of a regularity in our lives. We
have decided that the junior high school students and the teachers are our target market.
Teenagers prefer more daring and wider range of tastes.
Income :
The majority of students rely on their daily allowance, which is often around more or less
50.00 pesos, and our fruit ice candy is a cost-effective choice that they may consume every day.
B. Market size/ Trends
The market size for ice candy in the school campus setting is significant, with a large
portion of students consuming it regularly to cool down from the hot and humid climate . The
target segment of junior high school students and teachers within the school campus represents q
significant potential customers base for the fruit ice candy product.
C. Competition
In the market and industry analysis for our fruit ice candy product, we have identified two
main competitors in the school canteen: buko juice and fruit halo halo. However, we possess
certain advantages that differentiate us from them.
One of our key advantages is our ability to distribute our product throughout the entire
campus. This gives us a wider reach and enables us to target a larger customer base compared to
our competitors. By making our fruit ice candy readily available in multiple locations within the
school, we increase convenience for students, making it easier for them to access and purchase
our product.
Additionally, our product sells well among the student population. Understanding the
preferences and tastes of our target market allows us to create a product that resonates with them.
By offering flavors and ingredients that appeal to students, we can establish a strong customer
base and generate consistent sales.
Furthermore, we benefit from the potential of word-of-mouth selling. While our
competitors may face limitations in directly selling to students, we can leverage personal
recommendations and positive testimonials. Satisfied customers can spread the word about our
fruit ice candy, creating a buzz and generating interest among their peers. This form of organic
promotion can help us build a strong brand presence within the school.
Overall, our ability to distribute our product across the entire campus, its popularity
among students, and the potential for word-of-mouth selling provide us with a competitive edge
over our competitors in the school canteen market. By effectively utilizing these advantages, we
can solidify our position and capture a significant share of the market for fruit-based frozen treats
D. Estimated Sales
Our estimated sales is 600 pesos , and we only have four day’s to sell our product. To
meet our sales target, we need to sell 30 pieces of ice candy everyday for the next four days .
Each day, we estimate that we can make 150 pesos in sales. If we reach our target, our total
sales for the four-day period would be 600 pesos.
To ensure that we reach our sales target, we are considering implementing Market
strategies such as promoting our product on social media, bundle deals and reaching out to
potential customers in our local community. With determination and then effective marketing
tactics, we are confident that we can achieve our sales goal in the given time frame.

VIII. MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. Organizational Chart & B. Roles and Responsibilities
14
The company's organizational structure is a hierarchical system, which means that each
member of the collective has specific responsibilities that perform following directives from a
higher authority. A hierarchical system defines the chain of command and span of control of its
employees and each member's different role in keeping the company going. It is a direct chain of
instructions from the top of the organization's company to the bottom. Critical decisions coming
from the senior management or higher authority and have been transmitted through subsidiary
levels of management. When it comes to this administrative framework, there is a clear line of
the jurisdiction, making sure that orders are thought thoroughly and critically before passing
down, clear lines of communication which are direct orders are absolute and must follow from
authority and vivid results. A hierarchical structure operates very well when it comes to
organizations and business, and this will determine how a firm works on the surrounding
institute and the employee’s workspace.
Advantages of this are:
• clean lines of authority and reporting in business
• clearer understanding of employee roles and responsibilities to the company
• accountability for their actions or decisions at different management levels
• clear career paths and development prospects which motivate the employee
