 SITUATION ANALYSIS

A. COMPANY BACKGROUND

Founded in 2015, FCJ Franchising Inc. was the brainchild of five young

entrepreneurs Jeramiah San Antonio, FrenzKamilleSigua, Carmela Bautista, Princess

Joy Dumandan and Christa UraniaCarbungco. The five college friends were determined

to put up a business after finishing college. They recognized the market potential of food

franchising specifically siomai products and explored it into many aspects. Thus, this

idea resulted into the realization of establishing their franchising company considering

this is a more viable path to take.

FCJ Franchising Inc. first launched its brand of food stall SisigAlaSiomai, which

serves siomai products. To increase their competence, theyve discovered the

innovation of the SisigAlaSiomai inspired by the well-known Kapampangan cuisine,

Sisig, to give the conventional product a totally different but flavorful twist. Its success

reaped approval and positive responses from the public experiencing a growing boom in

just a short period of time.

B.PRODUCT BACKGROUND

Franchising Inc. came up with an innovation of the product called

SisigAlaSiomai, a siomai filled with rice and the famous cuisine in

Pampanga, sisig. Instead of the normal sisig served on the Kapampangans

tables, the firm decided to come up with the chicken version of the popular

sisig dish. Sisig is known to be a spicy and fatty dish popular for the Filipino

beer-drinkers because of its unique sizzling blend of spiciness, sourness,

saltiness, aroma and it usually uses fatty parts of the pig such as the ears and

face; the original recipe also uses brain of the pig as a binder. Chicken sisig,

on the other hand, can be considered as a healthier alternative because

chicken meat has lesser fat. This in particular makes uses of skinless chicken

breast; it is low in fat and high in protein. Thus, the firm decided to pursue this

product because of the distinctiveness of its resources and to promote healthy

lifestyle especially to those busy individuals or families who are having a

5
 morning marathon rushing around working against the clock to get their kids

dressed, fed, groomed, out the door and to others who are stuck in traffic on

their way to their workplace making them skip their breakfast.

C.MARKET ANALYSIS

The majority of the Filipinos are fond of Chinese cuisines for it captured the

heart and taste of Filipino palates through its delicious and comforting flavor as

evidenced by the hundreds of stalls eateries, and restaurants who serve them. If

there was ever a food designed for easy eating and truly embodies the term fast

food, it would have to be siomai. Almost bite-in-size, siomai is easy to eat as it

offers portability and convenience when youre busy and can pack quite enough

substance that it can fill you up. Like 4 pieces would be enough for a nice snack.

Another tray of four pieces will be enough for a meal. With the average lifestyle only

getting busier and hectic, retailers have an opportunity to appeal to consumers by

providing convenient and portable products. Offering consumers a variety of on-the-

go products gives retailers not only to increase sales but an efficient and effective

way for repeat business.

D. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

The most known competitor of the firms product are Master Siomai and

Siomai House, which offer varieties of siomai products catering to mouth-watering

steamed pork and shrimp siomai served with uniquely concocted chili-garlic sauce

that make it more scrumptious and dominate the availability within the country. Other

6
 potential competitor of the product will be the local markets which sell siomai

products around commercial areas. The firms product has a different twist and flavor

tackling the consumers palate with its flavorful and comforting taste. This savory

flavor combined with our marketing effort make us confident that we can take away a

sizeable portion of their market share. The convenience stores like 7eleven and

Ministop are also indirect competitors of the company for they provide the public with

convenience products that can be bought and consumed in minutes with higher price

compared to supermarkets. These stores have a large market share in the

companys target market even if they dont offer the same products but still have a

solid impact on the companys sales.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

The strengths of a business are the characteristics that give it an advantage over

its competitors. The major strength of SisigAlaSiomai is the uniqueness that can stand

out as an alternative to other siomai vendors because ours is made out of sisig, a

known Kapampangan dish, which is different from other siomai that are normally made

out of minced pork. Even though its price is higher than other siomai, people can still

relatively afford the price. People also can choose with our three courses: Steamed

siomai, fried siomai and steamed siomai with rice inside. This product is new in the

industry that can threaten the people to try it and can establish a customer base. Many

people have busy schedules that enable them to skip their meals, this product can help

them to survive their hunger and can eat it anywhere they want.

7
WEAKNESSES

Since it is our first time to open a business, our primary weakness of opening

SisigAlaSiomai is entering the market with our basic knowledge in marketing.

Establishing a reputation on the internet will also be challenging because people might

not able to appreciate well the product when they only sees it in the screen, they might

think that it is only a normal siomai that they buy. SisigAlaSiomai has also a limited

product range because it is only running between siomaiwith inside and people can

able to duplicate it easily. Nonetheless, our company will help other people on how to

be business-oriented especially our one of our goal is to make our product to be

franchised. We will also prepare ourselves to perform an expert assistance to help a

profitable new locations.

OPPORTUNITY

Opportunities are chances to increase growth and profit for the business.People

are fond of trying new foods nowadays. Social development can be an opportunity by

changing customers taste that can lead to an increase in demand for our product. A

new product in a broad market means minimal competition and opportunities for

expansion. Business-minded people can also be attracted on our product because it is

new in the taste of the people that can enable them to franchise them outside the

Pampanga.The first franchise location will serve as a learning tool and will help

establish the brand, making marketing and development easy to repeat in another new

location.

8
THREATS

A threat is defined as external elements that could be problematic for a new

business. The primary threat for SisigAlaSiomai franchise will be the cultural

differences. Health-related threats may also occur because some people are having

allergies with chicken and some are not also eating chicken when they are sick, for

example cough or cold. To overcome this challenges, it is important to do plenty of

research and be ready for all the problems that may occur.

C. DISTRIBUTION STRATEGIES

The units to be distributed are lowbecause the company is only starting. Direct

distribution is more likely efficient since the product being sold must be delivered faster

to the consumers. This distribution strategy is more focused in manpower since the

enterprisers themselves are the one working for the product from buying the ingredients

to selling. This will eliminates the costs of sales commissions and discounts necessary

to generate business. It also allows personal contact with the consumer and the ability

to better answer questions and provide more customer service. And because no

intermediaries share the profits, it tends to have higher rates of profit than indirect

distribution channels.

 Suppliers Producers Consumers

D. PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES

Our main objective is to get the word out and create as much anticipation and

excitement as possible about the product. The company would like to inform the public

what the product is, what it can do, and where they can find it. To achieve this goal,

advertising specifically pioneer advertising, would be used. A frequent strategy for this

strategy is to begin the campaign in the product development stage, before it is even

available to the public. This heightens anticipation and gets people talking about the

product in a favorable way. Since the product is still in introductory stage, advertising

costs are generally high during this period,but it quickly create customer awareness and

create a demand for the product. The company will provide free sample as a sales

promotion. By providing product samples, this serves as an opportunity to learn more

about the target market and how can improve the product so it exceeds consumer

expectations and gives a competitive edge but also welcoming consumer feedback

regarding the product.

 CONTROLS

To maximize the return on a marketing plan, there need to be controls in place to

monitor the plan's progress. One control put into place is the monitoring of customer

feedback through polls and surveys. Reaching customers indirectly by hosting online

polls on the Internet that ask specific questions about latest marketing plan improves

the performance of selling the product. Adjusting the decision according to the results of

your research benefit the company since it is still in introductory stage.

To generate a large target market sales is one of the companys marketing objectives.

Each marketing plan sets out to determine the effect of the plan on the target market.

Once again, this is done through market surveys or at the point of sale with the

assistance of co-owners. Actual sales in the target market are compared to the

marketing plan projections to see if any changes need to be made. For example, if the

target market for a marketing plan is male and female ranging 15 to 21, then the target

market sales reports would monitor sales made to that group. If sales are down, then

further market research needs to be done to see why the target audience is not

responding to the marketing. In some cases, analyzing a demographic breakdown of

sales may indicate that the initial target market was inaccurate and a new target market

may emerge based on sales data.

Another tool to be considered is budgeting. A marketing budget is a balance between

the cost of generating the advertising materials and the revenue created by the

marketing plan. Costs need to be closely monitored to minimize spending and maximize

profitability particularly promotional cost used to introduce the product. By examining

20
expenses, the company is able maintain your budget and see exactly where spending

increases come from.
