In determining our sample size for the proposed project, a Slovins Formula is being used. Slovins Formula: n= N ____________ 1 + Ne2 Where: n= sample size N= the total population e= margin of error (.05)
QUESTIONNAIRE FORMULATION
In order to have an access on the pertinent information and gather important data about customers taste and preferences when it comes to pizza, the researchers agreed to use Survey Questionnaires. There are two survey questionnaires made, one is for the determining the target market population while the other is to determine the preferences of the target market wi\hen it comes to pizzas. In the second questionnaire, the group provided ten (10) questions, simple and direct to the point. Questions are all itemized consisting of
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
both open-ended and close-ended mode of responses. By these questions, the group will be able to determine the demand for the product. RETRIEVAL OF QUESTIONNAIRES
The researchers conducted a survey by distributing questionnaires and survey forms in different areas around our location comprising the target market of the proposed business. Retrieval of the following questionnaires did not pose a problem to the researchers because questionnaires were immediately collected after the respondents were able to finish answering.
A Descriptive Method of Research is being used by the group in gathering, classifying and analyzing data. As the term suggests, it describes the characteristics, preferences and the different nature of consumers and prospective buyers. It is concerned with collection, organization and construction of data in a very understandable manner.

The remaining 5.14% or 15 respondents have other reasons like for change and others.
As for demand to expect by the proponents coming from the target market, the respondents who represent the whole population happily answered that for sure they will be trying the product offered by the store basically because
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
of its very original concept being one that we Filipinos can be so proud of. The survey shows that almost 100% of the total number of respondents which is 396, answered positively. Undeniably the potential of the business proposal exceeds what the proponents only think of because of the feedback they are getting from the target market. Even without starting the business itself, people in the area started asking questions and dug their curiosity on the product alone. This inhibits the capacity of the business to grow more than what the proponents think and run after the pioneering businesses on the same industry in just a short period of time.
Market Research
Filipizzas target market are the local residents of Barangay Kaypian in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Filipizza serves to people who wanted to get a
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
traditional twist to the usual European pizza introduced by foreign countries. Our customers also vary in age ranging from 13 to 50 years old. Also, since our location is near the newly-built Starmall means that most of our customers will be the travelers who visit the mall and the local people. Major customers are expected to be the students and the teaching and non-teaching school staffs from nearby schools and universities. Many students arrange pizza treat parties in pizza stores during their birthdays and other celebrations. At the same time, they may prefer ordering pizza during lunch breaks and snack times instead of eating heavy rice meals. Secondary customers are expected to be the usual mall-goers either employed or unemployed, with a taste for Filipino pizza since there is only a single pizza competitor located inside the mall.
The proposed projects target location is in Barangay Kaypian in the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. In 2007, it was considered the third most
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
populated barangay with a total population of 26,308. It has an annual population growth rate of 5%. In addition to the total residents of the barangay, our project also covers the schools located around the place.

MARKETING STUDY Page 74
Since there is no statistical data recorded in NSO or in the barangay hall about the age segmentation of the residents of Barangay Kaypian, our group decided to conduct a survey to determine our target market population from age 13 to 50. Using the 396 respondents, we come up with our total target market population of 364 or 92% of the total population of Barangay Kaypian.
MARKETING STUDY
Page 74
Results show that majority of the respondents are 13 to 19 years old (57%). Others are 20 to 35 years old (27%), 36 to 50 years old (8%), 51 years old and above (6%) and 1 to 12 years old (2%). Totaling the percentages of the people ages 13-50 will give us a target market population percentage of 92%. DEMAND ANALYSIS
For every business, it is very essential to know the demand in order to answer customers needs and wants. For Filipizza, knowing our demand will help us to determine the trend for our products. Analyzing the demand thoroughly will give the projection of the total number of quantity of each product that we are going to produce daily, weekly, monthly and annually.
Using the 92% target market population percentage (from 13 to 50 years old) multiplied by the total population from year 2008 to 2012 will give us the annual past demand growth of Barangay Kaypian.

Where: Yi - 1 Yc Yn N A = value of the last year = initial value (first year) = final value (last year) = number of years covered = constant increase in demand

Solution: Given that Yn = 34,584, Yc = 27,808 and N = 5 years A = 34,584 27,808 ______________ 51 = 6,776

_____________ 4 A = 1,694
In order to get the annual past demands (Yc) from year 2008 2012, the Arithmetic Straight Line Method suggests that the total past demand for the first year will be subtracted to the total demand of the last year ( Yn - Yc) and divide it with the number of years ( Yn - Yc / N-1). Then, the answer (A) will be added to the value of the last year (Yi 1) in order to get the annual past demands.

Historical Supply
In our location, there are already two (2) pizza stores which were established before Filipizza. However, Chansel pizza started its operations only last May while Patricias pizza last June of the present year, 2012. That is the reason why our historical supply covers only for eight (8) months for Chansel Pizza and seven (7) for Patricias pizza.

Projected Supply
In order to determine the projected supply of pizza for the year 2013, an increase of 3% will be added to the historical supply for the year 2012. Thus, multiplying 33,900 by 3% and adding the product to 33,900 will give us 34,917. Applying the same percentage to the following years will give us the projected pizza supply for five (5) consecutive years.

Knowing the projected demand-supply gap is necessary in determining Filipizzas market share. The gap or the unsatisfied market is obtained by subtracting the projected supply from the projected demand. It also shows the

Page 74
percentage of unsatisfied market which is equal to the demand-supply gap divided by historical demand.
YEAR
Interpretation: As the table suggests, the projected gap between and supply increases as the time goes by. Similarly, the percentage of unsatisfied needs of the target market increases as well. This gap between demand and supply determines the extent to which Filipizza has to satisfy.

STATUS OF COMPETITION
Who are Filipizzas competitors? In the proposed projects target area, there are two existing primary competitors selling pizzas and they only opened a few months ago since the location was new for establishing business entities. Residents in the location are still not familiar or aware with the competitors operations even with its existence. Most likely the proponents idea can still cope up for the months the competitor
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
has taken and get its lead. At the same time, we also considered secondary competitors selling substitute products in our analysis of competition in the area. Table 23: COMPETITION ANALYSIS ESTIMATED DAILY CUSTOMERS

Competitors Profile
Chansel Pizza is a Pizza store strated operating last May 1, 2012, just a few months after the mall started operating. Pizza, like Beef-mushroom, Ham and Cheese and Hawaiian Classic and the like are being offered. It is located at the foodcourt where many competitors for fast-served food exist. Only through the students of the universities nearby Chansel Pizza has been known. There is no promotional activities are done for the publicity and increase of sales of the
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
store. They offer Pizzas in very affordable prices, it will only range from 130 200 pesos and is being liked by the students. Unfortunately, they do not satisfy customers crave for Pizza since the size doesnt even meet what is standard. It its promotional activities using World Wide Web/Internet for their branches in Manila but unfortunately there was inconsistency with the said activity. They werent able to respond to the peoples feedback about their services and offered product.
Patricias Pizza is only a food stall mainly targeting students which are already used of eating rice for their meals. Commonly their branches are established at institutions which are not so familiar causing their failure when it comes to publicity. They offer classical pizza flavors like Ham and Cheese, Cheesy Cheese, Beef with mushroom and Hawaiian Classic. Compared to the first competitor, Patricias Pizza is bigger in size but it doesnt achieve the right taste for pizza. It survives in the industry because of its affordability and packaging convenience. The prices only range from 115.00 to 230 pesos depending on the size and the flavor.

This will be because of the different promotional tactics the business will provide and the quality of our products itself.

Product Strategies There are lots of pizzerias everywhere nowadays and they all have the
traditional flavors like Hawaiian and pepperoni pizza topped with different cheese
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
toppings. With this little variety of flavors, the customers tend to get used with the taste of the pizzas. The proponents took this opportunity to make the traditional flavored pizza into different panorama. The group topped the pizza with different dishes the Filipinos are fond of. And they named it Filipizza, the house of Filipino pizza. There they combine the luscious dishes in the Philippines with the Europeans pizza. Adobong pusit, Bicol express, Bopis, Pinoy Beef Caldereta and Sisig are the five flavors we are introducing in the market. Plus the dough we will be serving will be flavored with malunggay, making sure that the customers will get the right amount of nutrition they need especially for the dieters. Filipizza guarantees good taste of food and healthy amount of nutrients. All were made for everyone. Figure 5: FILIPIZZA MENU LIST

Place Strategies Filipizza will be located just along Quirino Highway right across the
Northridge Subdivision. The place is only few steps away from the newly-opened Starmall San Jose Del Monte. Its location is one of the prime residential and retail destinations in the area.
MARKETING STUDY Page 74
Many people visit the location because of the different institutions in the area. Strategically located nearby schools and universities, the place is frequently visited by our targeted students. At the same time, Starmall San Jose Del Monte sits just southwest of our store. Families who frequently go there most especially during Saturdays and Sundays has the mindset of enjoying or recreating and is looking for easier ways to satisfy their prioritized need in the fastest and simplest way possible. Moreover, there is a proposed plan that a northern MRT-7 line to link North Avenue-EDSA to San Jose Del Monte City is to be on rise on the place by the year 2014-2015. With this, we can expect greater sales by the near future.
Pricing Strategies We used the Cost Plus Strategy in order to set the price of our products.

Promotion Strategies These days technology had been available everywhere. A lot of people
had been more actively participating in social media websites in order to get in touch with their love ones in long distance. With the use of these websites it will be easy to disseminate information and a lot of business owners use this trend to introduce and promote their product in every walks of life. These sites will provide greater opportunity for Filipizza to show what this venture can offer. Aside from this, huge posters and tarpaulin will be a good help in promoting the product. These tarpaulin and posters will be glued on the side of the wall of the store. Nameplates will always be pinned on employees collar. The fliers will be given away to the people passing by the streets especially to the students near the vicinity of the store. a. Poster Posters will be placed in our Filipizza store. Both of them will surely catch the attention of our customers because of the information provided and the aesthetic appeal. The size of our poster will be 22 x 28. Two (2) posters will be produced for which will be good for about six (6) months.

involved in the target geographic area of the business. By this kind of marketing program, there is a big possibility of increasing Filipizzas market demand.
On the opening day of Filipizza, we will relive the traditional Filipino culture by playing many original Filipino songs from artists like Ryan Cayabyab, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid and many more.
