techniques like advertising, giving flyers to people, and putting large posters outside
their stores in order to catch the attention of the customers. Some competitors even
used catchy songs or jingles just to promote their services. Lowering of prices and
giving discounted coupons are mostly the selling techniques of the competitors. Selling
techniques are very important because customers are easily attracted to those who
put efforts in attracting them and giving their needs. Having a nice place that is picture

talking and encouraging the customers to try their services are also one of the
strategies that the competitor has. Advertisement in niche print media has never go
out of style. Many competitors are still using print media advertisement because of the
fact that it is affordable and people who reads newspaper and magazines can see the
write ups about the services. Writing columns about the services can make the
competitors build an actual relationship between the audience and the customers the
The first marketing strategy that the researchers would be planning for their
business is that knowing who their customer is and knowing who would be the target
market is important because with that the researchers can easily know what are their
needs and what is the new trend that people are talking about. Next is on how to
promote the services to the customers. The researchers should be unique on how to
promote their services so that customers may see the differences that they have from
their competitors. By using a paid social media influencer in promoting the business is
a very effective tool of advertising since people nowadays are socially inclined on
having social media accounts. With advertising in social media they will get more
customers specifically the young ones who are easily get attracted on what's trend in
social media. Another is by giving flyers around the public places in order to introduce
their services, and also promos and good quality of services so that customers may
easily come and go to their place. Giving freebies such as free shower before and
after and the business have a loyalty card wherein if the customer has already avail
more than five haircuts, he or she have free one haircut for his or her next haircut
session. In today’s generation people value more on quality rather than quantity.

it by 1% in the year 5.
36
Gross Profit
The gross profit ratio shows that the business is operating in a cost effective
manner, before selling and administrative expenses. It only makes sense that higher
ratios are more favorable. This is the pure profit from the gross revenues that can go
to paying operating expenses. With a percentage of 10% in year 1, this indicates that
we are stable for year 2 up to year 5 in providing our services to customers. With a
high ratio, it illustrates high percentage markup of the business to produce the service.
37
One of the best measures of the overall results of a firm, the ratio indicates that
performance over time is excellent for this kind of industry. A high gross profit to cover
operating expenses caused a high income which partly returned our investment. The
fact that the income is high, the business is capable of maintaining in the market
Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity refers to the ability of the business to pay its obligations in cash as they
mature. The focal point of this liquidity analysis is cash. It includes the ability of the
management to convert its current assets into cash in a quick stable and regular
manner.
The ratios indicate the enough convertible assets to cash quickly. The five
year quick ratios are enough to recover from the cost incurred during the
implementation of the business. The current assets are much larger than the current
liability. This indicates that the current asset can meet the short term obligations of the
business. As shown above the increasing ratios show that the assets allocated well
Solvency Ratio
Solvency ratio is one of the various ratios used to measure the ability of a
company to meet its long term debts. Moreover, the solvency ratio quantifies the size
of company’s after tax income, not counting non cash depreciation expense, as
contrasted to the total debt obligations of the firm. Also, it provides an assessment of
3% 5% 6% 7% 8%
Since there are no other liabilities aside from legal obligation and other
expenses, the lower ratio indicates that the business has insignificant obligation to the
total assets it has. Investments are funded through the capital of the partners. This
means that most of assets are finance by the owners, and this means that the owners
does not rely on its outside financing. By this, the investors and creditors would not be
The lower ratio indicates that the business is funded by the partnership in the
major operations. Acquisitions of assets are not from the debt it is either funded by the
partners or through the sales accumulated by the Men’s Barberia. The business has
enough cash to meet its current obligation and successful enough to pay a return on
their investment.

Government

taxes to the respective government agencies. Taxes paid by the business man and
