A marketing plan may be part of an overall business plan. The marketing plan is a
highly detailed, heavily researched and, hopefully, well written report that many inside and
possibly outside the organization will evaluate. In many respects, the marketing plan is the most
important document produced by marketers as it not only helps to justify what has occurred in
the past, but is critical for explaining where a company intends to go in the future. The marketing
plan is widely used by both large corporate marketing departments and also by small startup
companies. It is particularly important for marketers who seek funding for new projects or to
expand existing products or services.
In our company‟s marketing plan, we will talk about our product‟s profile including
special features, identifying the target market. After we had determined our target market, we
start to determine the market size, identify and interpreting our competitor using SWOT analysis
(Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threat). Besides that, we also collect the information
of market share before and after entry of our company – DE VISTA ENTERPRISE. We also
estimate our sales forecast every month in year 2016. Lastly, we discuss and select some
marketing strategies using principle of 4Ps (product, price, place, promotion) and a marketing
budget including the advertising and promotional plan of our company is prepared.
4.2 PROFILE OF PRODUCT SAMPLE
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
DO NOT COPY OR EDIT
De Vista Enterprise mainly produces the pure chocolate basically in the form of
chocolate bar. Our company produces pure cocoa chocolates and chocolates are broadly
classified by amount of cocoa it contains. Thus, our company guarantee and trust that our
product is much healthier and quality when comparing with currently existing products in the
market.This is because we order directly our raw materials that are cocoa powder from the
Malaysian Cocoa Board. In this board, they always supervise the quality of cocoa in all the
aspects such as pH of soil to plant the cocoa and also do researches on how to improve the
quality of cocoa instead of just concentrating on increasing the quantity of cocoa. Furthermore,
they process the cocoa under a clean environment to ensure that the chocolate is free of
microbes‟ growth. After that,our company will process the cocoa powder into quality chocolates
by considering the quality control. This is in relation with our company‟s goal in producing high
quality and healthy chocolate products.
It cannot be denied that, chocolates and products related with chocolates are always
in demand as all ages and gender of consumers enjoy it at any time and everywhere. In our
company, we always make sure that our chocolates are suitable to be consumed by all age
groups of people. Thus, our chocolate bars made pure with fresh cocoa powder by adding of
natural brown sugar. Our chocolates don‟t have any food coloring or food preservatives. This
makes our chocolates less sugar, less fat and it is suitable to be consumed by diabetic patients
and elderly people. Apart from that, we also are producing dark chocolates whereby it contains
more than 60% of cocoa and rich in antioxidants. These dark chocolates can prevent cardiac
diseases, blood pressure and also makes one stay younger and slimmer. Thus, our company‟s
dark chocolates can be an ideal choice of many people. Moreover, we are producing chocolates
of different flavors with nuts such as cashew and hazel and nuts with raisins. In addition to that,
we also have white chocolates, red velvet chocolate and so on. Our company produces these
various flavors and tastes of chocolate products based on the researches and opinions of
consumers in the market. It is one of the unique selling points which will increase our market
size. Above all, the most important is our price. The price of our chocolate products is
reasonable and lower than other competitors which can afford by everyone.
Besides that, we have our own designed product packaging. We have designed a
container which is heat resistance and with attached handle. The heat resistance container
packaging prevents chocolate from melting and can be stored for a long period of time. This also
makes our chocolates lasts longer hour especially during delivery time. This in turn increases
the convenience of consumers.

4.3 TARGET MARKET FOR REFERENCE ONLY
DO NOT COPY OR EDIT
Target market is defined as the group of customers that have needs and wants that
can be satisfied by the business through the supply of goods and services. The product of our
company is chocolate. It is found that almost everyone likes to eat chocolate and our main target
is people of Kelantan. Basically we focus on the chocolate bar, in which we produce in different
flavours. This gives our company opportunity to enroll into the market by introducing different
flavours and tastes of chocolate.
Our main market area is in Jeli, Kelantan because of the strategic place where the
climate is suitable for the storage of chocolate and located near our operational factory. By
putting our products at all sorts of shop such as 7-Eleven, restaurant, primary/secondary school
canteen like MRSM and Polytechnics, wet markets and petrol stations around the Jeli area, we
believe we will achieve our sales forecast. We also distribute our products to Tanah Merah and
Kota Bharu (both located in Kelantan, Malaysia) since there is a town or city area which have
hypermarket like Kota Bharu mall, Aeon mall prosperity and packed street with lots of shop
compared to Jeli. As we choose all kind of ages from toddler to adult will purchase our product,
the possibility for us to achieve the target is high. Our target market is shown as below.
From Population and Demography report 2010, we estimate that the population in
Jeli, Tanah Merah and Kota Bahru in year 2016 will increase annually with amount of 651
persons, 1 977 persons, 7 175 persons respectively based on average annual growth rate of
population (1980 - 2010). Thus, the estimated population in 3 towns are:
We predict that 60% of the estimated population in each town would like to eat
chocolate. Therefore, the populations who like to eat chocolate in each town are shown as below:

Town
The total number of people who like to eat chocolate in Jeli, Tanah Merah, and Kota
Bahru are predicted to have 428 548. By assuming each of them will buy at least 6 chocolate
bars in one month, so we can calculate the total market size by following:
Market share is referring to the portion of sales in a company within the entire market
in which area it is operate. This market share will indicate the company market size within its
market.
Before entry of our company, the monthly market share of EsMy Chocolate is 45% (RM 3
471 239), Wati Homemade Chocolate is 35% (RM2 699 852) and My Cinta Home of Dessert is
20% (RM 1 542 773). Assuming that market size does not change after entry of our company,
the monthly market share of EsMy Chocolate drop to 35% (RM 2 699 852), monthly market
share of Wati Homemade Chocolate and My Cinta Home of Dessert also decrease to 20% each
(RM 1 542 773 each) and monthly market share of our company is predicted to have 25% (RM 1
928 466).
SAMPLE
4.7 SALES FORECAST FOR REFERENCE ONLY
DO NOT COPY OR EDIT
Sales forecast means the prediction of the number of sales of a product or service in
the future. Sometimes this prediction is based upon past sales performance or the product or
service. Sales forecasting is an integral part of business management. Without a solid idea of
what your future sales are going to be, you can‟t manage your inventory or your cash flow or your
plan for growth. The purpose of sales forecasting is to provide information that you can use to
make intelligent business decisions.
From the monthly market share stated before, our company‟s monthly market share is
25% with total amount of RM 1 928 466. That means the maximum monthly sale forecast of our
company will not exceed RM 1 928 466. If we exceeds this amount, that means the monthly
sales forecast had included other competitors‟ market share. Besides that, we also can calculate
maximum production of chocolate bar (per units) of our company by dividing monthly market
share with selling price of chocolate bar of our company.
Maximum production of chocolate bar (units) of our company = RM 1 928 466 ÷ RM2.30
= 838 464 units
1500000
1000000
500000
Months
From figure 4.7.1, it can be clearly seen that our company‟s monthly sales forecast is
increasing throughout the year. Although we are new company introduced into the market but
our sales for January and February is almost similar to March and April because these months
are the festival months. The festivals that are celebrated in these months are the New Year
celebration, Chinese New Year and Valentine‟s Day. While, there is a sudden drop in June
because of the Ramadan begin, where Muslim starts to fast during the day. From July to
September, the sales of our company accelerate. This is because ended fasting in these months
and also Hari Raya Haji festival. Then from October to December the sale recorded the highest.
This is because everyone is busy for preparing the Christmas festival, weddings, school holiday
and also we had our year end sale. This year‟s sale had improved much because we already
become a well-known company because of our high quality and delicious chocolates. In
conclusion, the total of sales forecast for the first year will be RM 15 633 251. In second year, an
increase of 10% profit from the total of sales in first year is estimated.

chocolate chunks and so on.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
Operation plan is the process of planning strategic goals and objectives to tactical goals
and objectives. It describes milestones, conditions for success and explains how, or what
portion of a strategic plan will be put into operation during a given operational period, in the case
of commercial application, a fiscal year or another given budgetary term. An operation plan is
the basis for, and justification of an annual operating budget request. Therefore, a five-year
strategic plan would typically require five operational plans funded by five operating budgets.
Operational plans should establish the activities and budgets for each part of the
organization for next 1 to 3 years. They link the strategic plans with the activities the
organization will deliver and the resources required to deliver them. An operational plan draws
directly from agency and program strategic plans to describe agency and program missions and
goals, program objectives, and program activities.
The operations plan is both the first and the last step in preparing an operating budget
request. As the first step, the operations plan provides a plan for resource allocation; as the last
step, the operation plan may be modified to reflect policy decisions or financial changes made
during the budget development process. Operational plans should be prepared by the people
who will be involved in implementation. There is often a need for significant cross-departmental
dialogue as plans created by one part of the organization inevitably have implications for other
parts. Operational plans should contain clear objectives, activities to be delivered, quality
standards, desired outcomes, staffing resource requirements, implementation timetables and a
process for monitoring progress.

5.2 OPERATION PROCESS DO NOT COPY OR EDIT
Before starting any kind of business, every entrepreneur have to prepare all the
materials and equipments that related to the business that he or she wants to build up. In our
company - DE VESTA ENTERPRISE, of course raw chocolate is the main materials that we
need. First step is we need to prepare enough amount of raw chocolate. Then the raw
chocolates have to be cut into small pieces so that easy for double boiling. Then we double boil
the raw chocolate under a hot big pot until it melts. We make sure that no any water vapour or
water droplets mix with the chocolate in the pot. After the chocolate completely melts, we pour
the mixture on the marble table for the purpose to release some heat in the mixture as the
chocolate had just double boil in the pot. After the cooling process, we quickly pour the
chocolate into various shape of moulds to reshaped and decorate the chocolate. We also can
put walnut in the chocolate to make it more delicious.
After the process of pouring chocolate in the various shape moulds, we have to put it in
the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to freeze the chocolate completely. It is quite hard for
workers to package the chocolate if in half-freezing condition. The chocolate is not easy to melt
as long as it not expose to the light. Next, we have to do inspection on quality and quantity of the
chocolate before we move to another step which is packaging. After the packaging process is
done, we have to do inspection again on the quality of packaging and the exact quantity of
chocolate bar that can be marketed. Because in the process of packaging, of course there are a
few quantity that can‟t be marketed due to the way it being packaged or the chocolate bar is
damaged. After get the exact quantity of the chocolate that can be marketed, we arrange the
chocolate into the box and distribute them to the store or shops. Lastly, the chocolate is ready to
be sold or send to the customers according to their orders. Because of chocolate is quite
sensitive to light and heat, we just can send it to the nearest customers only because it will melt
if the period of sending the chocolate is too long.

5.4 CAPACITY PLANNING FOR REFERENCE ONLY
DO NOT COPY OR EDIT
Capacity planning is the process to determine how much capacity is needed and when it is
needed to manufacture greater product or begin production of new product. A number of factors
can affect capacity which is number of workers, ability of workers, types of machines used,
waste products, errors, productivity, supplier, and preventive maintenance. Capacity planning is
relevant in both long and short terms.
From table 5.4.1, the maximum monthly demand of chocolate bars is 838 464 bars and our
company need to produce 32 249 bars per day since our company operating 26 days per
month. As we assume that there will be 4 cycles that have to be completed in a day after
calculation, adding the time to melt chocolate put into mould and freeze it, so we need produce
8 062 bars per cycle in a day. Since we hire 4 workers, so in a day each worker needs to
produce 2016 bars.

Assuming that amount of safety stock of the month is 6% of the amount to be produced, then
the total units of chocolate bars will be:
= 838 464 (maximum monthly demand) + 6% (safety stocks)
= 838 464 + (838 464 x 6%)
= 838 464 + 50 308

In order to distribute our product to the market, we have used both of direct and indirect
distribution to ensure that our product is received to our customers. For the indirect distribution, it is
involved the third party to distribute our chocolate to our customers. The medium type that we used
in this distribution is internet platform that will provide the information about our product through
online advertising such as instagram and facebook.
While for the direct distribution, it is involved the effort of our company to market and
distribute the product to the customers. So the medium for this type of distribution is we focus on
the personal sale in order to increase our company profit because this channel is to be easier
handled by among of us to distribute the chocolate to customers.
Another channel for this type of distribution is by joining the expo and exhibition that involved all the
entrepreneurs. This medium is a very effective and advantage to our company because it will
expose our product to the public and also to the market segment. This is because the exhibition
commonly held in almost each of state of Malaysia so our influence will spread through this
medium.

6.0 FINANCIAL PLAN
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The financial plan is the final step in the preparation of a business plan. A financial plan
incorporates all financial data derived from the operating budget i.e marketing, operations, and
administrative budgets. The financial information from the operating budgets is then translated or
transformed into a financial budget. Based on this financial data, projections are then prepared via
several pro forma statements, namely cash flow, income (profit or loss) statement and balance
sheet. These pro forma statements are normally prepared for a minimum three-year planning
period.
The term pro forma statement, used in the context of planning, means a projected
statement of something that the entrepreneur estimates in advance. The pro forma cash flow
statement, pro forma income statement, and pro forma balance sheet, therefore are projected
statements that forecast the financial condition of the business. These statements reflect estimated
values based on planning assumptions rather than actual events.
Ratios provide helpful information about a company's liquidity, profitability, debt, operating
performance, cash flow and investment valuation. De Vista Enterprise has prepared the following
financial statements for a year projected period. De Vista Enterprise requires (RM 200 000) to start
the business. The cash, appearing on the cash flow statement remains positive throughout the
projected period. Projections show the company will have net earnings of 65.17% at the end of its
first year in operations. Earnings projections for the second year are expected to be 65.38%.

7.1 INTRODUCTION
Most small companies have plans to grow their business and increase sales and profits.
However, there are certain methods companies must use for implementing a growth strategy. The
method a company uses to expand its business is largely contingent upon its financial situation, the
competition and even government regulation.
Three aims/objectives have been developed to underpin this vision. These aims have been
developed through an examination of De Vista economy and by considering how its unique mix of
characteristics can be exploited to harness the potential that already exists in the city to boost
economic growth.
First aim is to boost De Vista‟s contribution to the Malaysia economy by enhancing the ability of
new and existing businesses to thrive and grow. Next is to accelerate the expansion of the De Vista
economy by capitalising on major physical regeneration in the city to create the right environment for
business growth, and lastly is to diversify and expand the De Vista economy by inspiring, nurturing and
promoting the creativity and entrepreneurism of De Vista residents.
De Vista Enterprise has a vision and four missions to be achieved. The vision is to make the
best, most delicious, most „One Bite, Melts Your Heart‟ fantastic chocolate in the country and be on the
top of the list. There missions are to manage De Vista Enterprise cocoa marketing at least cost with
high productivity, to minimize the effect of pollution by using eco-friendly way in production of cocoa, to
make the products of De Vista Enterprise as a cocoa company that can be delivered in whole wide
world, and lastly to operate a global standard logistic and documentation system in cocoa taking-over,
cocoa warehousing, shipping and collection or the production for the De Vista Enterprise chocolate.

One growth strategy in business is market penetration. De Vista Enterprise uses a market
penetration strategy to market existing products within the same market it has been using. The only
way to grow using existing products and markets is to increase market share. Market share is the
percentage of unit and sales a company holds within a certain market versus all other competitors. One
way to increase market share is by lowering prices of De Vista products which are chocolates. For
example, in markets where there is little differentiation among products, a lower price may help De
Vista increase its share of the market. But since by lowering our products prices may affect our financial
cost, the step will be taken into consideration first before implying it.
A market expansion growth strategy, often called market development, entails selling current
products in a new market. There are several reasons why De Vista Enterprise may consider a market
expansion strategy. First, the competition may be such that there is no room for growth within the
current market. If De Vista Enterprise does not find new markets for its chocolates, it cannot increase
sales or profits. A small company may also use a market expansion strategy if it finds new uses for its
product. For example, a small soap distributor that sells to retail stores may discover that factory
workers also use its product.
De Vista Enterprise will also expand its product line or add new features to increase its sales
and profits. When we employ a product expansion strategy, also known as product development, we
will continue selling within the existing market. A product expansion growth strategy often works well
when technology starts to change, soon in the future when there is more developed city. A small
company may also be forced to add new products as older ones become outmoded.
Growth strategies in business also include diversification, where a small company will sell new
products to new markets. This type of strategy can be very risky. De Vista Enterprise will need to plan
carefully when using a diversification growth strategy. Marketing research is essential because a
company will need to determine if consumers in the new market will potentially like the new products.
