IV. THE BUSINESS
A. BUSINESS BACKGROUND

great tea concoctions at a very affordable price. Bon AppeTEA was started from
its humble milk tea express bar situated in Strata 2000 building in Ortigas. It was

and Morocco Nights. They also have Assam Black Tea variants like the Purple

V. MACROENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
A. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Nearly fifteen years ago, a trend towards more unique coffees began to
develop in the Philippines. There had always been specialty coffee stores, such as
Gloria Jeans and others, but people began to buy espresso machines for their
homes and offices, and people began to have coffee tastings. Then espresso bars
began to appear and, inevitably, along came Starbucks ... the quintessential
bastion of the upwardly mobile professional who wanted to take control over how
their beverage would taste and smell. However, we have also become more
rushed for time during that same period. Those same consumers who helped push
Starbucks to $2.2 billion in global sales are now rushing kids to school and
basketball games, running to the grocery and trying to get to work on time and
back home in time for dinner.
Yet, they still have the desire for that refreshing, specially blended coffee
each morning even break time and after office hours. Convenience stores have
also caught up with the trend via beverage dispensers providing cappuccinos in a
number of varieties. The prices of these range from P29.00 up to P75.00 but are
still considered low in quality as compared to commercial coffee shops. The market
is primed for the introduction of a company that offers a superior quality, specially
blended product in a convenient, drive-thru environment at a price that is
competitive to the national coffee houses
B. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
The Bon AppeTea will be classified under coffee industry. The coffee
industry has grown by tremendous amounts in the Philippines over the past five
years. Starbucks, the national leader, had revenues in fiscal 2005 of P2.2 billion.
That is an increase of 32% over Fiscal 2000. Starbucks has increased revenues
to over P6.6 billion from 10,000 retail outlets on 2010 (BMI Research, 2017). Even
general coffee sales have increased with international brands such as Folgers,
Maxwell House, and Safari coffee reporting higher sales and greater profits. The
Philippines is definitely a coffee drinking country and the coffee industry is reaping
the rewards.
The cafe experience comes from the Italian origins of espresso. The
customer comes into a beautifully decorated facility, surrounded by wondrous
aromas and finds oneself involved in a sensory experience that, more often than
not, masks an average product at a premium price. However, the proliferation of
cafes in the Philippines proves the viability of the market. It is a duplication of the
same delivery process as currently exists in Europe.
C. LEGAL ANALYSIS
As the owner started to open the Bon AppeTea, the business will likely
prepare and serve food. The business will, therefore, need to know and abide by
the Food Standards Code as well as other relevant food safety requirements. The
business will also need a Food Safety Supervisor and to undertake regular food
inspections.
The Bon AppeTea will need to find the right premises for their shop. Once
the business do, it will require a development approval from the local council. It is
always a good idea to check that a commercial enterprise can carry out business
on those premises. Local councils will always be able to answer any questions you
might have and can guide as to the correct process.
D. SOCIO-CULTURAL ANALYSIS
Bon AppeTea can offer cheaper products but it might have to sacrifice the
quality. This is the main socio-cultural challenge that the start-up faces. It will
expand consumer base to include the buyers from the lower and the middle-
income tiers.
The “green” and “ethical chic” consumers are also concerning. They fret about
social and environmental costs of the brands. Starbucks has to be aware of this
trend.
The baby boomer generation is retiring. This means spending by older consumers
will decrease. Now, Bon AppeTea will have to tap the Gen X and the Millennials
as customers.
Other socio-cultural factors to focus on are:
Changing family patterns in Philippines
Consumer preferences
Changing work patterns
Changes in lifestyles of population
The level of education of the population in local markets
Changing values among population
E. TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
A. MARKET DEFINITION
The market of Bon AppeTea refers to the group of consumers or that is
interested in the product they offer, has the resources to purchase the product,

total population of the municipality as a given market and there are various terms
are used to describe the market based on the level of narrowing:
Other than that, there are factors that will affect the market of Bon AppeTea.
Market is affected by technologies in many ways as well as the business
enterprise. As the technology changes, highly developed products and
inventions are presented into market for optimistic outcomes. Adjusting to
these changes, it will help the production be easy and fast by acquiring new
machineries or equipment. Supply is affected through environmental
circumstances, development in costs, and sales advertising of other
competitors and building of new establishment of the same business.
B. MARKET SEGMENTATION
The Bon AppeTea target market are those individuals who are seeking for
quality coffee beverages and have no time to go to other places to buy famous
commercialized coffee products. To penetrate the market, the business will be
opening its doors to clients once the first batch of trainees has finished their training
on Barista. The individuals in the locality of Daet particularly ages 18 to 24 years
old or considered as the millennials will be considered as the main target market
have the capability to afford the services offered by the Bon AppeTea is one of the
main reason why the proponents decided the individuals of municipality of Daet to
be the target customer. According to the interview to the owner, the chose
customer profile is suitable to the business because of the projection of an
increasing demand for the product will increase per year. Moreover, Daet,
Camarines Norte is considered as the target market where the individuals from 18
to 24 years old are the main customer.

real property and productive equipment. Business owner want to make sure that
the buildings, machinery and other equipment they buy generates sufficient
revenue and profit to justify the purchase cost.
B. MARKETING

about itself, its products or its services. Projecting gross revenue involves
establishing an annual revenue goal and calculating how to reach that goal based
on average sales per client. A business can utilize a valuable information to adjust
advertising campaigns, marketing efforts and referral programs to target potential
clients and ultimately increase profits. The following are the ways of achieving a
marketing goals of Bon AppeTea.
One of the most important goals of marketing for Bon AppeTea is driving
business and increasing sales. Marketing needs a good return on investment –
meaning the increase in sales should significantly exceed the cost of the marketing
and should therefore be specific. It is often insufficient to simply state an objective
of increasing sales by a certain percentage.
B. PRICING STRATEGY
The Bon AppeTea is designed to offer high price products. Bon AppeTea is
very trendy and has the perception of providing quality coffee products and snacks.
Hence, prices are usually higher than that expected from a café style business.
Bon AppeTea offer consumers a choice of sizes from which they can choose from.
Their prices are set on the idea that if consumer feels like they are getting a good
deal for their money, they would be more likely to pay a higher cost. By pricing the
sizes just a few cents differently, the try to convince customers to upgrade to the
bigger size.
The third major pricing strategy is customer value based pricing. The
decision of pricing in this strategy is in the hand of the consumer. Customer
perceptions of value sets the price of the products. Through this strategy many
companies discover that customers are ready to pay more for something that offers
more value. This strategy determines what the buyer is ready to pay
Bon AppeTea raises its products prices each year.
C. DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL

which a good or service passes until it reaches the final buyer or the end consumer.

telephone or cell phone conversation, the business owners can market the
services through these effective forms. A personal sales message can be more
specifically targeted to individual prospect. The enterprise will concentrate to
perform the services in Daet, Camarines Norte, the target market of the business

D. ADVERTISNG STRATEGY
The marketing program planned is to display panaflex signboard in front of
the coffee bar giving identity to the franchised business so that itcan be easily
recognized by potential clients. The opening of the Café are broadcasted and
announced in local radio stations. It will also propose promotional offers like free
taste for the first 20 customers during the opening. For the Bon AppeTea to be well
known, brochure and leaflets will be distributed before and during its operations.
Before the opening, invitations and discounted coupons will be distributed to major
establishments in the city.
The shop will also explore window sales techniques such as the Baristas
asking if the customer would like a freshly-baked product to go with their coffee. A
5% discount will also be given to clients that will bring their own cups. In order to
maximize daily purchases, advertisements will focus on the need for a cup of
coffee everyday matched together with the empowerment of women at work,
school and the community as a daily endeavor.
Secondly, the Bon AppeTea should make sure to plan the purchasing
and know their cashflow. There are a lot of ways for you to manage their
cashflow with many looking to invoice templates to help manage their
problem. It is understandable that operating costs, such as purchasing
inventory or paying bills, often need to be paid before your business
receives income from customers.

3. Risk Management

anticipate and manage them. The Bon AppeTea can only prepare for risks
if thehy know what they are. They must take time to think about risks they
might encounter, but also be aware that you can’t always see the risks for
their own company.
C. MARKET RESEARCH
According to the market research of the researcher about the Bon AppeTea.
The business risk is associated with their overall operation of a business entity.
These are things that impair its ability to provide investors and stakeholders with
adequate returns. For example, a business manager may make certain decisions
that affect its profits or she may not anticipate certain events in the future, causing
the business to incur losses or fail.
The Bon AppeTea is also exposed to financial risk, liquidity risk, systematic
risk, exchange-rate risk, and other specific risk. These make it increasingly
important to minimize business risk.
Note: The detailed breakdown for the budgets and cost of Bon AppeTea will be
remained confidential and private. However, the owner provided the researcher
the five year projection of the business after the opening of the business last
September 19, 2019.

wasted; without knowing how effective each strategy is, the business may be
throwing away money on useless efforts. As the business plan and execute a
marketing plan, build in monitoring tools from the beginning and be ruthless in
eliminating strategies that are not worth the time and money spend creating them.
