B. Background of the Study
In the immediate world of fashion, spanning from the runway to street wear, fashion
accessories have become more and more popular (“KT Fashion Accessories). Fashion
accessory is a secondary addition to the clothing of a user and is normally used to complete
a garment and complete the user's appearance (Islemleri, 2017).
As highlighted by “Fabric is Fashion” (2019), fabric is the very stuff of fashion which
has driven the society and economy this past years. Fashion fabric is a type of fabric that
fits the latest fashion trends for production of products such as clothes (“Fashion Fabrics,”
2020). That is why even in the current situation with COVID-19 pandemic, people are
picking fabric masks as aside from the protection that it provides, the fabric still let the user
show their style (Spellings, 2020).
According to Mehta (2020), there is an increase in manufacturing textile masks from
Asian textile and garment suppliers. From this article, it also saw a decrease in producing of
clothes worldwide. Instead of clothes, they were producing textile masks more. According to
Ahmed Jahangir, an executive director of a known textile business in Pakistan, textile masks
will still dominate the global market even after the pandemic ends (Mehta, 2020).
Fabrika’s founders grabbed this opportunity to meet the demand in fashion, fabric
and accessories industry and established the business.
Despite only having one physical store for a starting business, it will also offer its
service through deliveries from orders in online shopping websites. This strategy is not new
especially for businesses in this pandemic. Online shopping is dominating the market as its
alternative for buying products physically due to COVID-19 (Li, Hallsworth, & Coca-
Stefaniak,
2020). FABRIKA offers its products by being available in different online shopping websites.
With this, it will be available by shipping the products nationwide.
2
FEU Diliman
One of the greatest strengths of FABRIKA is that their products are eco-friendly.
Becoming an eco-friendly business will help the business to save the environment and to
have new potential customers. According to Djanogly (2018), eco-friendly products is very
attracting to the customers. With this, it will help the business grow even faster. FABRIKA
offers three products, which are E-Mask DE, Mask Scarf, and Scarf Bags. These products
are made from eco-friendly fabrics such as organic cotton for E-Mask DE and Mask Scarf
while satin scarfs made from silk for Scarf Bags. According to VETTA (n.d.), Organic
Cottons are biodegradable and made from natural fibers as well as silk for satin scarfs.
Meanwhile, Fabrika ensures that their location is in a good place. FABRIKA chooses
Quezon City as its business location due to having access to everything. Taguig, Makati, &
Quezon are the top three cities in Metro Manila to look out for when starting up a business
(Sta. Ana, 2014). According to her, many experienced people are looking for work in these
said cities. She also said that having experienced workers in the company is a great
advantage because they provide an honest assessment of business decisions in the
company. Good location is one of the factors that makes a business successful. With this, it
will be a good advantage for the company to find new potential customers living in a
populated
city.
C. Mission And Vision Statement
Fabrika’s Mission Statement:
Fabrika is committed to the consistent upliftment and improvement of both its

also envisions to be an innovative, vertically-integrated fabric accessories company with
diverse and high quality fabric accessories product that works with enough flexibility to serve
highend market segments with design and collections.
D. Logo Description
Fabrika’s name is a combination “fabric” and “pabrika” meaning manufacturing plant.
It is decided by the founders as the business manufactures and sells fabric accessories.
Aditionally, Fabrika also sounds like the shortened version of fabric accessories.
Figure 1. Business Logo

From the first glance, the logo already ingrains the name of the business to the
audience. With the use of the threads being weaved as substitute for the letter “A” and the
word “FABRIKA” itself, it already represents the nature of the business which is related to
fashions and fabrics the logo an how with just a simple addition of something or an
accessory rather (in this case, the threads being woven) it could easily look stylish and
unique. The color used is a modern color (Brown, 2020) which attracts the eye of people
specially teenagers.

CHAPTER 2
MARKETING PLAN
A. Target Market
Fabrika’s main target market would be fashion-inclined people. With its diversity
towards its products in the market, they would be the one who will have the most interest in
it. However, the products are not just for fashion lovers. That is because although the
products are fashionable, they are also practical. The price of every products are also
reasonable which it can be bought by someone who are in budget but is looking for quality.
For E-mask DE, considering that it used an advance technology, its target market is
middle to upper class people who are eco-conscious as the product will prevent the use
single-use masks that produces tons of waste. However, other products will ensure
everyone would be able to buy no matter what class they are being labelled. E-Mask DE
and Mask Scarf are also very practical, especially today, as it is made to protect everyone
from the dusts, viruses and smoke that we can all get from the public places. Therefore, one
of its target market is also the commuters and people who provide services to others.
By having many designs and different sizes in every product, it is all made for
everyone no matter the age nor gender. The product is designed to cater all groups of
people by means of their gender, religion, and age.
B. Market Segmentation

Philippines. The survey was conducted online which is why the data gathering is easy and

in creating new looks. It is then recommended that Fabrika should market on those to
people with low self-esteem and those who wants to create new looks.
c.) Behavioral Segmentation
Figure 11. Bahavioral Segmentation Results
From the conducted survey, it can be seen on Figure 11 that respondents agreed
most of the factors that affect influence to buy products are based on its price, style, color,
design, size, quality, trend, comfort and functionality. The behavioral pattern being shown in
the results are mostly the same from every respondent. Others that came opposite are only
minimal. Few respondents that also made numbers from disagreement are factors such as
color, trend, and size. Meanwhile, all of the respondents agreed to one factor, which is
comfort. FABRIKA needs to consider the comfortability of the products while wearing these
fabric accessories. However, they should also consider the other factors that the majority
agrees with.

Figure 12. Respondents' Location Survey Result
According to the survey conducted by Fabrika and as seen on the results in Figure 12, 54%
of the respondents came from NCR, 32% came from Region V, 6% came from Region IV-A,
4% came from Region III and 4% came from Region I. The findings suggest that the
business owners should consider establishing its first physical store in Quezon City which is
included in the National Capital Region. With this, it has been decided that Quezon City is
the best place to consider. Not only having a populated city as an advantage, but also it has
access to everything especially the materials and employees needed for the business.
However, despite only having one physical store, FABRIKA will still offer the products by
online shopping for shipping nationwide.
Market Segmentation
For the overall view of market segmentation, for its demographic segmentation, the
business should prioritize people that have an age group ranging from 13 to 18 years old.
This would be teenagers and most of them are students. Survey also says that females are
mostly the customers of Fabrika. It also reveals that the civil status of the respondents of the
survey are mostly single. The business should also focus on its three types of consumers.
The psychographic segmentation of the business includes fashion-inclined, health-
12
FEU Diliman
conscious and eco-conscious consumers. These three types of consumers define their
lifestyle as individuals and the business should also consider this segmentation.
Moreover, the business also needs to consider the products' price, style, colon,
design, size, quality, trend, comfort and functionality, since according to the behavioural
segmentation it is what the customers are paying attention on, and its location especially
that the majority of the respondents came from the National Capital Region (NCR).
Geographic segmentation tells that any cities from NCR will be the best decision of the
business to make. It is said that the NCR is more convenient and accessible than any other
regions in the Philippines. However, the business would still be available nationwide by
means of shipping from well-known online shopping platforms.
These results have been verified by the respondents of the conducted survey in
which the results are considered by the business owners so that their business will become
successful.
C. Micro Market Analysis
FABRIKA’s Micro Marketing Mix Analysis

Fabrika offers a variety of products made from fabric. The diversity of outputs (goods and
services) that the business delivers to its target markets are protected by this aspect of the

and functional. Each product is crafted with utmost care with regards to the customer’s
needs and wants. FABRIKA’s product mix has following main products:

chooses Quezon City as its business location due to having access to everything. The

of the business is said to be around schools, churches, malls, a hospital, and many more.
The business owners believe that putting FABRIKA’s first physical store in a populated city

D. Macro Market Analysis
14
FEU Diliman
Competitor’s Macro Market Analysis
Fabrika analysed the company, Ambient, a business competitor in Philippines who
sells the same product with Fabrika such as the E-mask DE.
Product. Ambient company have the same product as ours. FABRIKA’s main
product is the E - Mask DE, which they are also selling. The advantage of ambient is that
they have a company already and ambient is a known brand which people would purchase,
they also have these factories which would speed up the production of their products.
Price. The price of ambient is higher than ours because they are already known for their
brand plus they are using machines to speed up their production, and they are also paying
bills such as salaries, utilities, and supplies. Their products are reliable and can give
consumers assurance that their products are high quality with their price.
Promotion. Ambient company has the advantage to promote their products on social
media, billboards, magazines, advertisements, and on television. They are capable of
paying those types of promotion because they’re already known for their brand. One of the
most effective ways of promotion that ambient is doing right now is sending their products to
influencers / bloggers for them to promote it on their social media platforms and give
reviews about the products being sent to them. Some are being paid in promoting the
products and some are just receiving products, but all of them have benefits such as
discounts and discount codes that they can share on their social media which their followers
can use.
Place. Ambient company has the advantage of having their own buildings, factories,
and offices. They don’t have to pay monthly rent for their buildings and offices. It is
convenient to have their own buildings, offices, and factories because they don't have
different places for their buildings, they can buy the land and place their buildings, offices,
and factories in one place.

Figure 13. Fabrika’s SWOT Analysis
Discussion of Each Factor in SWOT Matrix:
Strengths
Products are made with excellent quality. Ingredients used in every product are
made up of high-quality cotton fabrics. No one likes products that are easily being damaged.
The company ensures every customer to be satisfied with the products that they are going
to buy. The cotton fabrics used in every product are made to be durable and comfortable to
wear. In the fashion industry, it is very important to consider the quality of the fabric that is
going to be used especially if the target market is designed for people looking for quality.
Having excellent quality products will make customers be loyal to the company.
16
FEU Diliman
Eco-friendly products. One of the greatest strengths of Fabrika is that their
products are eco-friendly. Becoming an eco-friendly business will help the business to save
the environment and to have new potential customers. According to Djanogly (2018), eco-
friendly products are very attractive to the customers. With this, it will help the business
grow even faster. Fabrika’s products are made from eco-friendly fabrics such as cotton for
E-Mask DE and Mask Scarf while satin scarfs made from silk for Scarf Bags (VETTA, n.d.)
as they are biodegradable and made from natural fibers. Moreover, products like E-Mask
DE are made to not buy tons of any kind of masks that are basically disposable which can
contribute pollution to the environment. With eco-friendly products, the company can be
known to make a difference in the industry.
Committed and strong workforce. Workforce of the company ensures that
everyone is being respectful towards not only the customers but also their co-workers. The
company ensures that they have one goal which is to follow rules and regulations to make
the company as organized and productive as possible. Everyone in the workforce being in a
respectful manner towards others will make customers be happy and feel welcome.
Good location of the workplace. The current workplace of the Fabrika is in
Quezon City which is part of Metro Manila. Being in a large city with a growing population
will be an important factor to make new customers. Quezon City is almost having easy
access to everything especially for the needs of the company, which it would be a benefit to
sustain the ingredients used in the products to be sold. Easier access to everything will have
an easy production of products and hiring of new employees.
Weaknesses
Poor distribution channels. The company is lacking branches that will have an
impact on customers that are far from the workplace. The networking is still not yet strong
17
FEU Diliman
enough which is not bad for a business that has started up currently. The only ways for now
for the company to distribute the products are through social media by implementing online
shopping with shipping fees that will cost too much for others (especially when far away) and
through the only one physical store which is in Quezon City.
Limited marketing communication tools. Currently, the company only has two
marketing communication tools that are being used. These are social media accounts and
fliers. However, the company plans to have TV advertisements eventually in the future. With
social media, it is a powerful tool to have but it is only limited to people who are using social
media, unlike TV Advertisements which could easily reach the masses.
Weak customer database. Information of every customer is vital to the company.
The company is currently lacking information about the customers because of poor
technology being used to store data. It is said that the database is important to keep on
track which can be helpful to identify what type of customers are buying more. The
company, considering that is just a new business in the industry, needs to improve the
customer database in order to know which improvements shall be made from the products.
Opportunities
Growing textile industry. The industry is said to dominate the local market. One of
the main sources of textile is cotton, which would be the main ingredient to be used in the
products of the company. With the increase of the textile industry’s worth in the Philippines,
it means that there would be many potential customers to catch for the company.
Reduction of being harmful to the environment. This will be considered by the
company as it can help to seek new potential customers especially for those who have care
for nature. This would give a chance for the company to offer its eco-friendly products to
18
FEU Diliman
possible new customers that can be used as a strategy in the future. It will also help to build
a strong brand image for the company.
Innovative products with the use of modern technology. Fabrika is known to
have innovative ideas for its designs for the products. With innovation, the company will be
able to compete with other competitors because of newly introduced products to the market.
If the company will continue to use innovation and advance technology, they will be able to
help the business to survive.
Expansion of the business. With a growing textile industry in the Philippines, the
company has a chance to improve Fabrika’s current sales. It has the potential to succeed
because the textile industry is dominating the market. The more the branches, the more the
customers of the company will have.
Threats
Fierce competition. As the textile industry grows, more competitors will be in the
game. Whether the competitors are new or not, they are still considered threats to the
business. The company will need to introduce new strategies in order to compete in the
industry.
Unstable costs of ingredients of the products. The production of cotton may
change from time to time. This will affect the selling price of the products which will be also a
threat to the business.
Changing customer preferences. Current trends will be the one to contribute to

change of a person’s interest. However, FABRIKA’s goal is to innovate its product from time
to time. With this strategy it will help the business to survive. The company will need to listen
to its customers’ feedback to give them the satisfaction they want. The company should also
prepare more products that would be a perfect product for a changing season.

Figure 14. Ambient’s SWOT Analysis
Discussion of each factor in SWOT matrix:
Strengths
Reputation. The company is known for a good reputation because of its good
quality products and services. Ambient ensures to continue the legacy of having a good
reputation and to create an excellent product to satisfy the customers. The Ambient
reputation involves everyone because reputation affects how the entire network interacts
with the ambient business.
New innovative product and services. Ambient continuously identify the gaps and
impose them into a new space that can find an audience and satisfy consumer needs in a
way that is new and refreshing. They consistently create new innovative products and
services.
20
FEU Diliman
Location. Ambient’s location is one of their strengths as they are located in Design
Plaza, Makati, which easily draws in customers. The location of Ambient also helps it to
create a brand and image, since the Design Plaza, Makati is a part of a city that carries a
reputation, whether it is a reputation for simple living or a reputation for luxurious
extravagance.
Weakness:
Small Target Market. Since Ambient’s products are more on the expensive side,
this means that their target market is only those who can afford it meaning that unlike other
businesses that could cater even to the middle class, Ambient’s target market is smaller.
This could prevent them from maximizing their sales.
Lack of differentiation. Another weakness of Ambient is that they have no product
differentiation. Almost all of their products can be bought from other stores.
Opportunities:
New product opportunities. Ambient is always looking for new products that should
provide or offer new value to existing or new customers. Because of Ambient’s capacity and
the current situation with tha pandemic and the things that come after it, Ambient has an
opportunity to create new products.
New market segments. Ambient already has a lot of products in their hands right
now, thus, another opportunity for them is looking for new market segments.
Expansion of business. Since Ambient has already been in the business industry
for a while now and they have already amassed a lot of revenue, one opportunity for them is
expanding their business into other industries aside from where they are now.
21
FEU Diliman
Threats:
New Competitors. Because of the new businesses that were created due to the pandemic,
it is given that Ambient has gained new competitors.
Price Wars. Ambient’s good-quality products means that their products are not
cheap, thus some might think that their prices are too high and eventually other businesses
will offer products of the same quality, or not, at cheaper prices.
New innovative product and services. Seeing that every company is always producing a
new innovative product to the market, especially after the pandemic, Ambient faces threat in
the form of other businesses creating new innovative products and services that could rival
theirs.
Changing customer preferences. Current trends will be the one to contribute to
change of a person’s interest so just like other businesses, Ambient is not a stranger to this
threat.
E. Marketing Strategies
There are five marketing strategies used in this business.
The first strategy is social media marketing. As of now this is the most effective
marketing strategy especially now most are stuck in the comfort of their home due to the
protocols implemented because of the pandemic. A lot of people shops online for their
safety aside from that, it is also efficient as it saves time and effort.
Despite only having one physical store for a starting business, Fabrika will offers its
services through deliveries from orders in online shopping websites. This strategy is not new
especially for businesses in this pandemic. Online shopping is dominating the market as its
22
FEU Diliman
alternative for buying products physically due to COVID-19 (Li, Hallsworth, & Coca-
Stefaniak,
2020). Fabrika offers its products by being available in different online shopping websites.
With this, it will be available by shipping the products nationwide.
Aditionally, the company will be using social media platforms, namely Instagram,
Facebook and Twitter, to post our products and campaigns and interact with our customers.
With that, we will be able to broadcast to the netizens what we could offer. It would also be a
way for new and existing customers to reach us easily. With its help, we could improve our
communication with our customers, raise brand awareness, reach new market and create
positive brand identity.
Our social media accounts will be:

Figure 17. Fabrika’s Instagram Account
The second stratedgy of Fabrika is creating Fabrika’s website. A website is an excellent
medium for marketing. It represents the company on the Internet and is one of the most
relevant digital media platforms for increasing traffic and revenue.
24
FEU Diliman
Figure 18. Fabrika’s Website
The third strategy is distribution of flyers, giving flyers to people is also an effective
marketing strategy. Flyers will also be distributed mostly in school so people would know
about us and hopefully would be interested with the products or services that are inc;uded in
the content of the flyers.
The fourth strategy is luring nature lovers. This is a strategy wherein the products
are also made for those nature lovers. The products that the business produce are eco-
friendly which could help improve or at least not worsen the situation of our environment.
Many people would be convinced to buy those eco-friendly products because of benefits to
the environment.
The fifth and last strategy is penetration pricing. With this strategy we will be offering
a lower price of our product during its initial offering. For the first month of its offering, the
company will be offering buy one take one and discounts in the products. This will help us
penetrate the market and attract customers and make them aware of our company and its
products. This is in hope of keeping the new customers once our prices bounces back to
normal levels

C. Production Process
Figure 25. Production Process
In the production process of Fabrika, input is very essential in the beginning of the
process to make products and deliver services which includes labour, raw materials,
machinery, and property. For the transformation, this requires time, planning, and sharing of
ideas that will turn those resources mentioned in the input into products and services that
customers are willing to pay for. Moreover, the output or finished product of this process are
the E - Mask DE, Mask Scarf, and Scarf Bags which is not only necessary during this time
of pandemic but also satisfies the human needs and wants of the public.
D. Suppliers

Location
Fabrika is strategically located at Cityland North Residences along Edsa cor
Lanutan St., Quezon City with a projected population of 8.5 million as of 2020. Fabrika
chooses Quezon City as its business location due to having access to everything. When
beginning a company, Taguig, Makati, & Quezon are the top three cities in Metro Manila to
look out for (Sta. Ana, 2014).
As it is strategic and very close to the target market, the selected location is the best
so far. Since it is around the church, school, malls, hospital and many more, it is better to
locate the company within the city. One of the reasons that makes a business successful is
a good venue. With this, the company will also be at an advantage as we could discover a
lot of new potential buyers that lives in this populous city.
Figure 35. Company Location
F. Inventory Policies
There are many methods, strategies, or techniques that can be used by the
company. However, being a manufacturing company needs to choose what method of
inventory that is best for Fabrika to use. Just-In-Time (JIT) methodology will be used by the
39
FEU Diliman
company for its inventory technique. This method is a good technique to be used especially
if the business is just starting up. The JIT inventory system helps companies keep enough
inventory on hand just to satisfy customer orders, while still maintaining as low as possible
inventory levels. In starting up business, when it comes to the cash flow, having less
inventory on hand gives the company less burden. This burden can result in being a dead
stock.
According to Banton (2021), JIT methodology is a management strategy which
directly aligns supplier raw-material orders with production schedules. This inventory
strategy is used by businesses to improve productivity and minimize waste by only receiving
products where they need them for the manufacturing process, which decreases inventory
costs. This approach allows producers to accurately forecast demand.
In order to meet daily customer demands with the given production time of products
per day, takt time needs to be solved. One of the important tools of the JIT inventory
technique is to compute its takt time for its operation (Lean Enterprise Institute, n.d.).
According to Verma (2021), Takt time is a manufacturing term to calculate the speed at
which the product needs to be produced to fulfill the client's needs. The formula for takt time
is:
G. Credit Policies
Fabrika’s Credit Policy
This policy specifies the criteria for setting up payment arrangements with the clients of
Fabrika, as well as monitoring of those conditions. The policy also states that there are
other options for all customers that are not eligible for the company’s credit. The policy
applies to all sales made by Fabrika. For the credit policy itself, if they follow the threshold
criteria for the grant of credit, the company will offer credit to customers which is a maximum
40
FEU Diliman
of 50,000 php with a security interest equivalent to the credit. With the consent of the credit
manager or in Fabrika’s case, the accountant, the maximum credit may be extended.
The managers (the co-founders) will review all potential clients' credit applications
and assess their creditworthiness and the amount of the credit. If a customer has a poor
credit score on the credit report or if the existing ratio is less than 1:1, the credit could be
decreased. To decide whether their current credit levels are appropriate or need to be
updated, the managers will annually check the repayment history of existing customers and
this will be carried out if a general retraction or expansion of credit levels is warranted by
business conditions. A total of 50 days is the underlying sales terms given to customers by
Fabrika.
Fabrika’s accountant is authorized to extend the credit and communicate with
customers about their credit status while the store manager is the one tasked with
instructing clients on their payment obligations.
Letter of Credit Strategy & Standard Letter of Credit
The primary goal of the letter of credit strategy and standard letter of credit design is
to guarantee that money, provides as security for Fabrika as Fabrika is expected to regularly
go into the arrangements, for example, advancement arrangements, where the clients are
needed to submit letters of credit to the Fabrika to guarantee that monetary security is
accessible if they can't meet their obligations under the contract.
This arrangement applies to all deals of Fabrika items to clients and to all divisions
inside Fabrika are liable for the deal showcasing, contract endorsement request
acknowledgment planning and shipment items. At the point where the clients are setting
orders with an estimation of 5,000 php to 50,000 php, there will be a credit check and credit
approval before shipment
41
FEU Diliman
Terms of Sale
The company will give a statement on the first of every month which sums up the
purchase during last month. The credit manager is responsible for all credit and collections
functions and also keep the sales department informed and all the actions involving the
customers
H. E-Commerce Policies
Fabrika’s Shipping Policy
International Customers: Duty & Tax Info: All of our orders are delivered from
Philippines. Additional customs and post office fees (including tariffs, taxes, and VAT) can
be charged to customers whose shipments have a destination outside Phiippines, which we
cannot regulate. Some countries will contact you using the details you provided during
checkout and put a hold on your shipment before you pay the additional fees. These fees
can range from a few pesos to a few thousand pesos.
Fabrika cannot guarantee that the shipping carriers and their shipping rates include
all of the costs for an international shipment because different countries have different fees
and procedures that are subject to adjustment and restrictions. Before making a purchase,
it's a good idea to check out your country's fees and policies. For some destinations, please
allow 60-90 days for delivery.
All Customers: The majority of consumers in Philippines will receive their orders in
12 weeks. Except for pre-orders, we try to get all orders out the door within 4-7 business
days of purchase, with express orders getting priority. In addition to our processing times,
shipping delivery times may differ and are only estimates given by the carriers. When
delivered, international orders can take 60-90 days to arrive.
Weather delays, customs delays, COVID delays, and other factors beyond our
control will cause shipping delays. COVID-19 has affected supply chains, shipping, and
42
FEU Diliman
manufacturing times in particular. Fabrika has no control over the carriers and will attempt to
send a shipping notification with tracking information to the email address provided during
the checkout process.
Fabrika’s Return and Exchange Policy
Where appropriate, Fabrika offers free domestic returns. If you are not completely
happy with your purchase(s), you can return them for a full refund, with the exception of
certain non-refundable goods. Our return policy is valid for up to 365 days from the date of
purchase. Returns are not permitted to be worn, washed, or damaged. It can take 7-10
business days to process your return once it is received. Credit card refunds usually take
another 1-2 business days. You will be notified via email when a refund is being issued.

to start the return process. Second, we'll send you a pre-paid return shipping label via email.
Third, use the provided label to repackage and ship your return.
DOMESTIC EXCHANGES (ONLY IN PHILIPPINES): Since inventory is constantly
changing, the way to exchange a purchase is to place a new order for the item you wish to
purchase, and return the current item back. No refunds will be given for non-refundable
items. Products marked as non-returnable will not be replaced. Purchase the new product.
Return to phases 1, 2, and 3 above. That's it.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS/EXCHANGES (OUTSIDE OF PHILIPPINES ONLY):
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a pre-paid return label for international orders. As a
result, we ask that you pay for return shipping; however, we will refund the full cost of
shipping from your original order, as well as the cost of the returned product, making it free
of restocking, handling, and other fees. Non-refundable items are not eligible for a refund or
exchange.

the marketing and communication strategy to promote products in the public. Ms. Francine
Ramillosa has an excellent skill of creating unique promotional strategies especially in social
media. She has experience of being a social media manager for 3 years. She ensures the
overall branding and image of the company. Since the company is just starting up, there
would be only limited employees in the organization. For the first year of the business, she
will be the only one who will work everything for the marketing department. She ensures the
creation of trends that can be used for promotion of the products being offered. She also

these two are important especially when there are customers coming from the store. It is

store and makes sure that his personnel are working productively.
