                                              SECTION I: MARKETING PLAN
  1    MARKET ANALYSIS
  1.1.1 MARKET AREA
           The target area of the business company is at D&E Prime Building, Robredo Avenue,
  Barangay Sta Cruz, Koronadal City, South Cotabato. Rent in this space costs PHP 13,000 per
  month. The owners chose this specific area as the most perfect location for the business knowing
  that it is much accessible for everyone. The owners believe that this is a good place to start a
  business because the area is near the public terminal, and most likely, a lot of people would grow
  interest on the food business when they see it. Whenever people travel from Koronadal City to
  nearby places and whenever there are people that have just arrived from their destination, they
  will immediately see this and possibly try it because some commuters are tired and hungry after
  traveling.

  Cotabato in relation to the demands of the company’s target market. The data for the population
  was gather from the Philippines: Administrative Unit.

                                              Table 1: Addressable Market Demand
          With the use of convenience sampling a form of online and social media survey, the
  interest percentage was found to be 87.65%, which implies that 125,744 of the target market
  (143,462) is interested in buying the said products. An assumption of a market share of 8%
  because we are new in the market is also included which reflects a demand of 10,060. Since the
  standard serving size of Yaki-Tatos is 3 units per serving, the demand is multiplied by 3. All of
  these equate to a TOTAL of 30,180 for the demand Tatosphere has with regards to its
  competitors.
  1.2 PRODUCT STRATEGY
  1.2 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT AND POSITIONING
         The owners came up with the name “Yaki-Tato” for their product, and this is derived from
  “Yaki-Tato” because it is inspired by takuyaki and “Tato” because it is mainly made out of
                                                              … an institution that cares for the environment and humanity.

  potatoes. Yaki-Tato is made out of beef or cheese (depends on the preference of the customer)
  that is covered with a mixture of smashed potatoes and sliced carrots. It is also coated with flour,
  egg, and bread crumbs to make it crispier and to add more texture to further satisfy the customer’s
  cravings. Its size is the same with takuyaki, it is ball-shaped and is 4cm in diameter. The product
  will be brownish when it is deep fried for an estimated time of one to two minutes. Yaki-Tato is
  offered per bundle by 3 pieces for P45, 6 pieces for P90, and 9 pieces for P135.
          Yaki-Tato can be considered as rich in Vitamin A because the main ingredients, potato
  and carrots, have a high content of beta carotene that is needed for healthy skin, bones and teeth
  as well as to fight sickness. Potatoes are a good source of fiber, that helps you feel full longer and
  it helps prevent heart disease. Potatoes are also rich in antioxidants that prevent diseases, and
  vitamins and minerals that help your body function properly.
            Yaki-Tato has a lot of good qualities that will make the customers attracted to it. By just
  taking a small bite, you can immediately taste the flavor that is a mixture of sweet, a bit salty, and
  the potato that is also creamy. Even if the product has been preserved for some time, its taste will
  still be the same and the flavor will last despite of its temperature.
          The customers can have their choice in adding shredded cheese as a topping. Customers
  also have two options in choosing their preferred sauce, either hot sauce or mayonnaise mixed
  with ketchup. It is also safe for 6 years old kids to adults, except those with allergies in dairy
  products and soy products. Everyone can purchase this product because we also consider the
  variety of people who eat food that is only allowed for them based on their culture and the students
  who are fond of buying food that is affordable but delicious.
         For the tagline, the entrepreneurs came up with something that is simple yet unique for it
  to be easily recognized and remembered by the customers— “Devour your way into the right
  atmosphere”. This is because Yaki-Tato can ease your bad mood and hunger with just a bite.
  With a good mood comes with a good atmosphere, so come to the Tatosphere where one bite
  puts you in the right atmosphere.

  1.3 PRICING STRATEGY
          In order to earn sufficient profit, mark-up based pricing will be used. Where 50% of the
  overall cost will be added for the final price. The formula for the mark-up based pricing is:
                              Selling Price = Product Cost x [1 + Mark-up Rate (50%)]
                                                                     Price and unit                         Price Per Unit

  sales, as a means to effectively communicate with our customers and receive valuable feedback
  from them. By employing this method, we believe we can build strong relationships with our
  customers and better understand their needs and preferences. By setting up our business near a
  busy street where many people pass when going to the public terminal, we aim to attract foot
  traffic and generate interest in our product. We also plan on selling our product on the streets with
  carts when participate in special events such as festivals, fairs, and food markets.
  1.5 PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
          In order to have a good promotional strategies, the company will identify their target
  audience and their ways in promoting the product. The business will be using social media
  advertising and personal- based selling as their strategies. People today are dependent on
  technology and entrepreneurs can take advantage of that, in the way that they post their product
  on different social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others with their company name
  which is Tatosphere co. The prepaid load used for creating these posts will be bough twice per
  month for a week of service costing PHP 99. They will also have tarpaulin as their promotional
  strategy, especially that tarpaulins are a cost-effective and versatile marketing tool that can
  increase brand visibility, communicate key messages, and target specific demographics.
  Strategic placement in high-traffic areas can drive sales and shape brand image. By investing in
  different promotional strategies, brands can have meaningful engagement, build lasting
  relationships, and achieve their business objectives and to attract more customers and to

  2.1 PROCESS FLOWCHART
          The first step in making Yaki-Tatos is boiling and peeling the potatoes and carrots. Once
  cooked, wait for these to cool down by preparing the fillings. The meat will be cooked first before
  being cut, along with the cheese and the cooled-down carrots. After the fillings are ready, the next
  step is to mash and season the potatoes. After the fillings are ready, the next step is to mash and
  season the potatoes. Next, the mashed potatoes are measured, filled with the cut meat or cheese,
  and molded into balls before being breaded by flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Lastly, the Yaki-
  Tatos are fried until golden brown and crispy. Once done, they are ready to be served.

         The minimum pay for the company’s employees is determined by the Department of Labor
  and Employment, the National pay and Productivity Commission. As a result, employees are
  guaranteed a fair share of financial compensation based on their sales income. Employees with
  greater skills and expertise, on the other hand, will be compensated better for their contributions
  to the organization. Employees have the right to have their salaries when they have been
  accounted for, as well as to be aware of a consistent set of standards for salary levels in order to
  ensure fairness in distribution and procedure and compensation disclosure.

          The table shows that the investment of the company may not be paid off in a year, since
  the net income does not exceed the whole amount of investments of the company.
