PROBLEM/ OPPORTUNITY WITH OR WITHOUT

MARKRT COMPETITION(PREFERABLY HAVING A
MARKET COMPETITION):
When we mention school, we always picture it with a paper and a writing tool. Starting
from pre-school to tertiary education, as we progress so does our usage of papers and
writing mechanisms. Today, especially in college we are very fond of the usage of different
types of papers, and of different specific sizes, for different types of applications. From
yellow pad, bond to newsprint papers and many more. Most importantly, not only that we
seek such papers, but we are also in dire need of having our works printed on them for
major educational requirements like research, thesis, and term papers, and other projects.
Printed documents provide a more cleaner and a more standardized way of handing over
documents. It is easier to print physical copies of files, instead of writing all documents by
hand, and also very efficient to access than unprinted files.

As there are only 3 out of 10 students in MSU-GENSAN who own printers to do the
job- and most of the time people don’t bring these printers to school, this presents a
struggle for the greater number of the student population. Furthermore, regardless of
having printers, such can also be limited, and cannot handle heavy forms of printing, and
this type of struggle would not only be limited to students but to the entirety of MSU-
GENSAN- including faculty and staffs.

Presently, there is little to none operating print shops in the school compound, and this
presents the best idea for business. Other than that, there is also almost no other suppliers
of school supplies in the entire MSU-GENSAN Compound, that can supply even the
slightest need for bond papers and such, and this would also turn out to be another great
business to invest on.
ALTERNATIVES/SHORTCOMINGS:
The demand on print shops is always at its peak in college, but since there are no such
thing available or are currently existing in the school premises, students ought to rush
outside the school compound to print documents on computer shops or print shops.
Considering MSU-GENSAN to have a large compound, it would take an effort of walking to
reach these destinations for most students, especially to those that do not own vehicles.
Basically, students without printers in school mostly rely on print shops and computer cafes
outside the school campus without the assurance that such establishments can be
available and can offer services anytime. In addition to that, it is also a hustle to find reliable
establishments that offer complete services from simple printing, Rush ID’s, book binding
and etc., especially if you are new to MSU-GENSAN. These are just few of the many
reasons why it is about time we move on such a project to not only build a business but
mainly to benefit majority of the students of MSU-GENSAN.

SOLUTION/PRODUCT:
(Name of the App/ Shop) is a print shop that offers the common printing services, yet is
the need of most college students. At the beginning of the business we ought to focus with
offering digital printing, and rush ID services, and if further opportunities reveal itself we can
gradually progress to having tarpaulin printing, Customized Mug Printing, lanyard printing,
shirt printing and many more, depending on how things would turn out to be. The
establishment is also preferably going to be built inside the school premises for easy
access to MSU-GENSAN students. In addition to that, we would also ensure quality face-to-
face transactions, to provide the expected outcome of customers.
If in case, the shop is still a hassle to access for some students whose most common
locations are farther compared to others, we also ought to establish an online application.
There, we prepare standard recommendations on how you want your documents to be
printed, and on how you want your documents to be done. Furthermore, we ought to put up
“mail shelves” on every college- each shelf labeled with significant numbers to act as guide
as to which document belongs to whom, since reaching the shop by foot was a hassle in
the first place, we tend deliver your documents to your respective building by batch at a
specific point of time everyday and is free of charge. Unless you want your documents to
be delivered to you specifically, such special delivery would cost additional special fees,
upon payment(E-Wallet/COD).
The app would provide you with everything you would need for you to describe how
you intend your work to be done, and this also comes with a description box where you can
freely type words to your heart’s content, and an official receipt that shows how you
(paid/ought to pay) your request, the specified time of delivery, and to which location and
“mail shelf” your document can be claimed(free-of-charge delivery). Also mind that an
online request, especially if it’s a free-of-charge delivery service, would only be done and
can issue a receipt if you pay for it using any E-wallet accounts. Otherwise, your request
would automatically be declined.
Lastly our business is not only limited to printing services, but we also ought to pursue
our business on being a supplier of paper materials especially bond papers, yellow papers
and other common papers most student use in college on a day-to-day basis. And with the
same set of mindset, if selling school supplies increases its demand, there will be room for
improvements and the widening to this type of business.
