II. OBJECTIVE/S
• To be able to increase the number of Natasha dealers.
• To be able to maintain and sustain the company’s growth
despite not being new in the market.
• To be able formulate strategies in expanding the company.
III. PROBLEM/S
Should Natasha prioritize its expansion through putting up
branches in regional areas such as Rizal (Region IV), Cebu
(Region VII), Davao (Region XI), iloilo (Region VI) and Dagupan
(Region I ) or should it expand in Metro Manila (NCR) first?
Natasha started as a retail shop (sells shoes, T-shirts, pants, wallets and bags) in 1994.
The company was selling well initially but sales plummeted because of the energy crisis and
“sawa” scare around the mall that Natasha decided to downsize its operations and venture in
wholesaling. Today, Natasha is a one of the successful Filipino networking companies engaged
in direct selling of its products. It has 500 employees who are guided by the following core
values: Customer Service, Discipline, Constant Improvement, Respect for Each Other and
Honesty.
Natasha has approximately 200,000 dealers, 80 % of which are deemed active. Dealers
and/ or members are given two options on to earn, Direct/ Personal Selling and Recruitment. In

VII. CONCLUSION
Therefore, I conclude that the alternative course action two is the best solution to the
problem, which is to expand operation in key provinces.
VIII. RECCOMMENDATION
Natasha should expand outside Metro Manila because of competitors penetrating the
metro already. The expansion would create new demands and tap the target market which would
increase sales and build strong personal brand should they expand. Instead of fighting against
competitors in a shrinking profit- center market, Natasha should focus on creating a new pool of
profit- center market by branching out to places not yet explored by its competitors.
The executive committee of Natasha should conduct a meeting to discuss the necessary
actions to be taken in putting up branches especially in the key provinces mentioned. They
should plan the estimated budget for putting up a branch and entail help from a professional if
necessary. Hiring an operations manager will greatly help in the establishment of the branches
since he can take charge of the planning and implementation of the expansion plan. It would be
ideal to gradually expand and choose among the regional areas where to put up a branch first
rather than simultaneously putting up the branches. The company should also acquire
advertisements regarding the expansion to encourage new members to sign up and formulate
new promos to attract clients.
