SWOT
ANALYSIS
OPPORTUNITIES:
THREATS:
-Give extra income
- Innovation of flavors and
-Poor weather condition
other features of product
- Malfunction of packaging
- Expansion
Strengths
The most powerful asset is innovative products and unique product because of the main
ingredients, unlike from the ordinary chips/kropek which is made with shrimp/potato, the
proponents innovated it to a healthy kropek made of banana heart. Their strategy is to develop
and produce unique flavors and ingredients of kropek that can be a trend and get the attention
of the target market that they are grandly enhanced to make it affordable.
Weaknesses
The customer is not familiar with the product and there are lots of competitors because
the product hasn't established itself as a reputable grower in the marketplace yet. Also,
unexpected demand in the market would be a weakness of the business, because the process
of making the product took 2 to 3 days to be produce.
Opportunities
With a growing interest in/support for locally sourced ingredients, their locality is wealthy
in bananas that can support their product to supply the ingredient that are needed. The
business gives an extra income for their suppliers of the main ingredient which is banana heart,
it’s not only promoting local product, but also helping farmers for having new income. In terms of
features of the product, innovation of flavors, shapes and packaging are planned to develop in
the future. Lastly, since the business will operate in Unisan, once the business grow, the
business can operate in other municipalities like Agdangan and Padre Burgos.
Threats
A poor production season due to the changes in weather condition can affect the
production of their product although there are alternative ways. The product needs to be dry out
under the sun and natural disasters can cause damaged to the main ingredients. Also,
malfunction of packaging such of the product would be a threat because it will affect the quality
of the product.
Selling Strategy
In personal selling, the used word is "sales talk". They can assure them the benefits that
they will get in buying our product and how these product is different than those offered by other
competitors.
In five years BanaHeart Kropek will be a recognized brand in the local area providing
high quality food product. Right now it is in infancy stage and still gaining a competitive
advantage through unique features. A year and 6 months after introducing Banaheart kropek in
the market they are going to produce its uncooked feature and by 2024 the will be producing a
new variety or new flavors that will satisfy their customers’ taste buds.
To be a recognized brand, they are going to ensure that they provide customers with
crispy-clean, healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare snacks with affordable price. They will
continue to develop and provide a high quality food product that will satisfy the changing needs
of the customers and improve a quality customer service experience.
Product Positioning
For individuals craving for healthier snacks, BanaHeart Kropek is a delicious snack, that
provides a unique taste of cracker with a unique feature that will satisfy your cravings. Unlike
other snack options, BanaHeart Kropek is made of banana heart that is rich in health benefits
and nutrients content. BanaHeart Kropek position itself as a company in Unisan, Quezon that
provides a nutritiously tasty snacks with the heart.
The business BanaHeart Kropek acknowledge that the best thing to do to grab the
success towards their goal is to provide a productive and creative promotion campaign. This will
bring them as the leading company and also to be the most recognized brand in Unisan,
Quezon. In addition, their plan will generate sales leads by the representatives to the town of
Unisan Quezon. This will be done by using the campaign to give awareness or information
among their potential customer about their product.
Their primary objective is to start giving flyers with a good vibe that will give them an
idea to the public market, through this they will see them as the company who is market friendly,
approachable and also can give them quality product and can be a good leader to the market.
The secondary objectives are to create a Facebook page and a shop on tiktok that
people will visit every time they wanted to purchased the product which is kropek. By creating a
FB Page and a Tiktok Shop, they want the customers to think and feel that they can still afford
their product whenever and wherever they are.
The sales strategies are to sell their products through several ways such as personal
selling, social selling, direct selling and distribution. Their customer tends to be highly
conscientious about spending large amount of money, that is why it is clearly necessary to the
producers to market their products with relationship to the consumer’s preferences and needs.
We have chosen those ways of selling strategies with the help of few mediums such as
posters and social media. But overall, direct selling of their products is the best way that they
chose, because they can show it clearly to them, making them be familiarized with their product.
Incentives
As an extra incentive for customers to remember BanaHeart Kropek’s name and product
that they made, they plan to distribute sticker of their logo with brand name, ball pens, pins and
t-shirts with the company name. This will be free of charge that will keep their company name
and image in front of the customers.
The Return and Cancellation policy lasts 3 days. If 3 days have passed since your
purchase, they can’t offer you a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same
condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. Also, If the kropek is
supple (makunat)
For the first quarter of the business, advertising and promotion will require P 2000 of
total amount. Flyers will be given by the opening and seasonal occasion such as Christmas.
While, about the incentives, they will only give once a year since it was just operated and not yet
undergoing on any expansions that means that their product are only crackers. On an ongoing
basis, they feel that they can budget the 10-15% anticipated total sales. On this instance, their
advertising and promotion is less because, their ways are through flyers and social media that
only needed efforts to post their product and market it to the consumers that’s why they giving
them the flyers.
