MARKET DESCRIPTION
Potato corner was established in the Philippines in 1992 as food cart business
that focused on flavored fries. From a little kiosk, Potato Corner is known as the
World’s Best Flavored Fries with branches all over the world. Potato Corner has
effectively adapted, localized, and expanded globally throughout the years. To attract
new customers, Potato Corner highlights the importance of polite customer service as
well as sampling. Customer loyalty is assured right away. This is a good investment
since the product is low cost but high efficiency and is very famous with all ages and
definitely you can make a good profit.
Price of the Product- how much your product or service costs, this will always
be the first factor that can affect demand because of continuous fluctuation of
the prices in the market.The price of your product depends on your competitors,
demand, cost to produce the product, and what consumers are willing to spend.
XXVII
The Consumer's Income- the money that a consumer earns from either work or
investment and as we have different rates in the income of every individual, the
one who can only afford it will be the one with extra budget and in the middle
class of society.
The Price of Related Goods- when the price of a product rises, demand for its
substitute rises, and when the price of a good falls, demand for its substitute
falls.
The Tastes and Preferences of Consumers- the individual tastes of diverse
bundles of goods, as evaluated by usefulness, they allow customers to rank these
bundles of items according to the amount of utility they provide.
The Consumer's Expectations- household economic expectations are referred
to as consumer expectations. Current economic activity will be influenced by
expectations. People will be more eager to borrow and buy items if they expect
the economy to improve.
The Number of Consumers in the Market- it always depends, change in the
total number of consumers causes the entire demand curve to shift right or left.
MARKETING PROGRAM
Marketing program is the process and activities you do to make your product to be
known and reach every individual of your target market, it is also building connections
and relationships to achieve the goal. The areas we need to consider for this are:
product, price, promotion, place and people.
product – choose a product which is in demand and affordable that can be
patronized of all ages.
price – low cost but with high quality and delicious.
promotion – advertisements in different platforms especially ads on social
media.
place – location and opening hours suited to busy, family lifestyles.
people – staff that are friendly, well trained, hygienic and accommodating to the
needs of parents and children.
MARKETING STRATEGY
In order to get the attention of our target markets, there will be some marketing
strategies to apply. Flyers and leaflets will be given out to the people in Cabuyao to
inform them about the newly build food cart which is Potato Corner. Tarpaulin will be
used to promote and give some information about the foods abd services of potato
