MARKET/CUSTOMER ANALYSIS

Demographics- OFW, 18 years and above, average income earners, residents in Rome and nearby cities.

Psychographics- customers are those people who give much value to the health of the family members and willing to invest to the attain the best healthcare possible and within reach.

Resource-based on the interviews done and questionnaires given to prospected customers, data’s on the demand were gathered.

Micro segmentation- the marketing segment will focus on the Overseas Filipino community and households who are working very hard to give the best among the best for their families here in Rome and those who remains in the Philippines. We will provide them our quality product that creates quality Kangen Water. Having one (product and getting)-to- many(model) yet single segmented customers will help us give sharp focus and concentrate on the demands of our customers. This chain will guide the business partners to mainly monitor and evaluate on the market segment we choose.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

Competition

After few observations and research, we have found out that most of the Filipino households in Rome are using devices, i.e. water filtrating pitcher or water purifying devices usually bought from local vendors. The reason is they all wanted to make sure that the water they will take is clean and safe to drink. Knowing that the tap water in Rome is safe to drink, though, it’s hard and also in some cases, some water system they put so much chlorine in it. With the more affordable price of the said devices, the competition to buy LeveLuk SD501 Kangen Water machine is very high. But with all the value propositions of our product, the company where it is originated and manufactured, having all the certificates of the water industry, the value of the machine and the quality of water it creates , the payment plan that Enagic,Inc. has provided and the income in it, we believe that a greater impact on competition could be won. Taking as well into consideration that customers buying power is greatly enhanced by the benefits the machine could provide them.

Substitutes

Most substitutes which are seen threats are the bottled drinking water, home water purifiers and local vendors selling osmosis water purifier. Bottled waters can be considered low cost but if we are to compute the consummated bottled water for a day that is 2 liters(365 days)= 730 liters(.60E)= 438E/yr. x 15 yrs = 6,570E. Whereas, with LeveLuk SD501 Kangen water machine, only E3,308.00 for a lifespan of 15 years. Home water purifiers are also low cost same as osmosis water purifier but does not provide the same health merits a Kangen water machine can give. Threats from competitors and substitutes are not seen to be very dangerous.

10

New Entrants

Page 12: Kangen richness business plan proper

New entrants with similar product, providing the same healthcare satisfaction and financial benefit is considered to be threat to the business but the reality of that fact is very hard to imagine comparing with the mother company’s track record in creating high technology best quality water generator and ionizing machine, our product is highly competitive.

Customers

Poor healthcare and lack of additional income are two of the basic problems we will try to resolve with this business activity. Overseas Filipino workers are working hard and most of them are away from their families. The hardships are dedicated to provide good living to their families, meeting the best of their healthcare needs considering this as vital to mans’ survival. Considering the health benefits of our product, all these stimulus will motivate the customers purchasing power on procurement of the machine. Giving emphasis on the value of the machine and its quality water, disease free-family are the points they will consider for the purchase. In addition, the possibility of being a “ good Samaritan” helping other people and earning at the same time through the distribution of the machine will be an achievement for them.

Suppliers

The power, integrity and success invested on the mother company and manufacturer, Enagic, Inc., is sufficient enough for us to continue this business, the competition in the water industry is really inspiring to enter into. Enagic is in the boom of its mission, that is providing people with a better life making them physically, mentally and financially healthy.

Potential for growth

Expansion of the business from center to south of Italy. We will also expand our target market to medical doctors, hospitals, gyms, rehabilitation centers, home for the aged and skin care clinics. This business is already introduced in Milan, Bologna and Parma. In five months, 14 machines have been bought there. In addition, based on our research, there are more or less 5 Italians doing this business here in Italy and they have leveled-up. With this facts, we are keen on the vision that our business has a greater potential growth in this country and on its nearby cities as well.

14

Page 16: Kangen richness business plan proper

Complaints Action point

Assessment This includes listening to the customer and understanding the complaint. We will then map out the issue to find the root cause of the situation to know how we can best address the problem.

Lessons Learned We will document all customer complaints, including its root cause and solution to understand whether the issues were small one-off items, or whether these are signals for a systemic but controllable risk.

OPERATIONAL STRATEGY

OPERATING PLAN

To operate the business, we need mobile phones, internet, office supplies, printing machine and supplies, fax machine and most importantly, the start-up equipments. The machine will be placed either in the residence of the partners.

LeveLuk SD501 Kangen water machine---Installment of the diverter, Setting up the unit(connect the water supply hose), Plug-in the power cord, Click on Kangen water (pH 8.5)---Run water(for the first time or after exchanging filter)slowly for 3 minutes, until the arrow comes out in the LCD(screen)---Ionized water is flowing---Share FREE Kangen Water to customers.

Demonstration will usually be on Sundays from 1-3pm(outdoor), 7-8:30pm(indoor) which include pH testing, discuss how to connect the machine properly to the faucet and putting the filter, clicking buttons for the kind of water needed depending on pH level, finally distribute water. Discuss how the compensation plan works, this is for prospected agents.

SALES FORECAST

We have 50 units sold for the first year, 18 direct customers, for a total commissions of E8,470.00. We will continue to the 2nd and 3rd year until we reach the 6A rank. Extension of target market maybe done on the 2nd year. We will extend the promotion of the product to doctors, hospitals, gyms, skin care clinics and home for the aged institutions and to nearby cities of Rome. See Annex I.

SALES VOLUME

We intend to have 100 or more unit as per group sales in the 2nd year to reach the rank of 6A. From 18 direct sales, 16 has sold 32 units. We need more or less 30 direct sales to reach our target group sale of 100 units. The only thing that hinders us from meeting that gross sale is when the direct sales becomes frozen, and even the indirect customers. Limited time on promotion and demonstration could also put us in the difficulty of attaining our target sale.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

BREAK-EVEN

The point of break-even is on the 15th machine sold, on the month of May, 2013, 5th month of the first year of the business where the amount of income is equal to the amount of cost that is around 1,800.00euro.
