Research Methodology
Demand Analysis
Present past demand data. Past data refers to secondary data readily obtainable from private
organizations and government agencies related to sales of a particular product or services in a particular
period of time. These data are also called as service statistics. In its absence, present demand data
through survey may be opted and result from the same shall be presented and discussed.
The past data relates to product consumption evidenced by sales records of a business entity similar to
the proposed business feasibility study.
In the absence of past demand data, present demand data may be obtained or studied.
In-depth analysis and sensitivity analysis of the demand and supply values would be desirable to be
provided. Factors that may affect the demand and supply or the interaction of the market forces may
very well animate the discussion.
Supply Analysis
Present past supply data. Present supply data may suffice the absence of past supply data.
The demand and supply analysis provide an illustration that demand exceeds supply. It is important to
show that demand overwhelms supply or potential demand is expected in particular period or
forthcoming period. Certainty and details may be shown.
In this section, the past demand and supply are shown and projected. Several methods are available. (see
Lecture)
As mentioned, in the absence or in supplement of the past demand and supply data, discussion of the
results of the market survey as to present market demand and supply data may be presented.
If the product is agricultural, describe its quality, usage, and benefits one may derive from its
consumption. If the product is processed, special ingredients and its benefit may be mentioned.
If the product is technology-related, describe features as to its functionality and how different or
unique or what sets apart the product from the competitor.
The product category as to product-mix width (number of product) and product-mix width
(number of items per product line) may be noted if it is not demands importance to the study.
Brand names to be adopted if required should be stated. Packaging details as to size, packaging
materials (plastic, carton, etc), and labeling and design (font style, size, and color) are essential to
be noted.
Place/Placement Strategy
Describe why is the place chosen. (Are the bulk of consumers present in the locale?)
Describe how the product will reach the consumers or buyers.
Describe the channel of distribution from the: manufacturer to consumer, manufacturer to
retailer to consumer, manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer)
Describe the storage space and indicate if it is owned or rented.
Price Strategy
Explain or provide basis for the product pricing (if it based on manufacturing cost, competitor’s
pricing, seasonality, based on quality, legal laws, etc.).
Likewise explain why the product is higher (if it is priced higher) than the competitors or why it is
lower (should the case be).
Some reasons for high costing are that the product/s is/are designed for high-end consumer and
its (quality) make or craft. Lower pricing may be due bulk buying discounts or designed for low-
end consumers.
Promotion Strategy
Present the plan how the product will be made known to the consumer.
How the product will be conveyed? (Will it be through internet, broadcast, radio, mail, posters,
sales presentation, market demo, free samples, gifts, contest sponsors, calendar, leaflets, etc)
Present the schedule of promoting the product and how much will be paid for each of the
promotional or advertising activity. Specify if there are promotional schemes available like cash
discounts, volume purchase discounts, or membership discounts.
