The main materials of Takitimu are fruit and ice-cream. These are very easy to find, so
there are a large number of suppliers who are ready to provide their materials for
Takitimu. Because this is not a differentiated product and the number of suppliers is
large, the suppliers do not hold bargaining power against Takitimu and the ability to
raises prices.
The power of buyers is high to Takitimu. This is because customers have a lot of choices
to eat ice-cream such as Trang Tien ice-cream, NZ ice-cream or ice-cream in
convenience stores and supermarkets. Therefore, it is hard for Takitimu to raise the prices
or forces customers to purchase their products at higher rate. If so, customers will simply
shift to another competitor.

There prominent weakness is that they are stuck in the middle. Their ice-creams
are more expensive than that in the retail stores and supermarkets and not
differentiated enough compared to ice-cream restaurant ( such as fanny ice-cream,
Thai taste, Trang Tien ice-cream ,…)
So, if we acquire the same ice-cream machine from New Zealand to sell ice-
cream , we will not consider our products as tangible products like ice-cream that you
can buy at supermarket, instead, we provide a service and serve customers different
than others. Therefore, our components will be Ice-cream restaurants.

o Few Small ice-cream truck travel around the central or southern beaches in
Vietnam. Because there are hot and temperate climate in both places, Hanoi
has only 4-5 months hot. Today, ice cream stalls are only available for
selling packaged ice cream from company, so if Takitimu sells ice cream at
beaches, it will also attract more tourists because of the exotic ice cream
made from fresh fruits and made directly by order. We use trucks as a way
of marketing for the ice-cream also. Besides, it’s convenient if we want to
stop at a beach and build a small temporary, flexible stall at some beach in
boiling days. There will be time the trucks traveling to the North of
Vietnam and create a long and fun tour for customers.

To create unique features of the product and to minimize the cost of importing
raw materials, we will corporate with farms in Dalat. Therefore, although we have
many fruits (different flavors), we will focus on strawberry the most. As fruit is
quickly fragile, rotten, stamping if transported for long distance.
And to create cream-base, we also want to use pure milk from Da Lat milk farm, and
build an Ice-cream store and small ice-cream base production near the farm.
