raw material used, the packaging is expected to have a low cost
implication. Furthermore, with the use of recycled packaging, the
company becomes parallel to its image as eco-friendly.
Inhaler
The inhaler product will be packed in a cylindrical shaped
container, containing two bodies and an in between division. (See
Image, Inhaler (2ml) Segmented for a clearer view). The upper
body is an inhaler. It holds a small soft sponge/filter that regulates
the inhalation of camphor and menthol contents of the product.
Below the upper body, there is a colored plastic that separates and
serves as a lock of the two separate bodies of the product. The
lower body is a transparent container which contains the liquid
liniment. The liquid can be directly applied on several body pains
like headaches. Furthermore, the small container can be refilled for
continuous usage.
Below are the images of the said inhaler packaging

Secondary
Each product of TropiAid will be placed in a box that serves

as the secondary packaging. The main purpose of this is to further

protect the primary packaging of the product. The secondary
packaging is part of showing the product in presentable and elegant
way, even during display and in actual buying of product. The
secondary packaging makes people think how secure and quality
controlled the product is. By this, it shows its classic way selling and
presenting of the product. The packaging of the product
incorporates the premium and natural image.
The sizes of the boxes will be 1x1x3 inches for 2ml products,
1.5x1.5x4 inches for 50ml products, 2x2x5 inches for 100ml
products and 2.5x2.5x1.5 inches for the ointment products.

Promotion Strategies
[Link] Objectives
Tropical Pharmaceuticals has set the following objectives for its
advertising campaign strategies:

To create awareness among the target markets as a

pharmaceutical brand

To promote TropiAid as an all-natural ointment and liniment

product which contains banana fruit extract, a high-potassium
substance, thus, the product ensures fast action and has no
side effects

To emphasize the effects of the brand on several bodily

problems; giving the consumers direct cure and protection from
further infections

[Link] Advertising
Tropical Pharmaceuticals aims to create awareness among its
targeted market. During the introductory years, intensive advertising and
promotions will be done to make the market aware of the product lines that
the company has to offer. Furthermore, essential benefits will also be
printed as well.

Brochures, Flyers, and Posters

Brochures,

flyers

and

posters

are

forms

advertisements that serve as a medium for disseminating

information. This information includes the endorsement of the
product about its benefits, effectiveness, and capacity as a natural
product and even the characteristics that differentiate the product
to other brands. This emphasizes how natural and how effective the
product is. It highlights the products high potassium content which
is good for skin remedies. This type of advertisement also
incorporates all the distribution outlets so that customers were able

18 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

to easily access the product. This advertisement also includes all
the promotional information with regards of buying products.
Image 6.10. Sample Brochure

Social networking Sites and Official Product Website

Currently, young ones, teens, young professionals, adults,

and even some of the older ones, engage with social networking
sites, making online networking advertisements somehow effective.
19 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

With this given generation state, people usually consult for updates
and gather some information with the use of these networking sites.
Having an official product website could also be a good and clear
form of advertising on a wider scope opportunity in disseminating
information that gives a lesser implication of cost.
Image 6.11. Official Product Website

Product Testing (in malls, personal care shops, and exhibits)

Product testing is a form advertising that needs a close

contact to its potential buyers allowing to try and test the product.
This advertisement can be held through an exhibit campaigning a
certain goal, booth stand and product sampling in malls, and
through presenting a testimonial AVR of the product that
encourages the customers to test it.

Television Advertising
Nowadays, even if it is too expensive on having television

advertisements; it is still the main and most effective form of

advertisement among others. Television advertisement could blow
the information nationwide but the only limits this kind of advertising
is the budget.
20 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

LED Advertising
Nowadays, as modern technology offers, LED advertising is
now on its way to become one of the most advantageous forms
of advertising. It is in an advantage and in a most attractive way
of exposure, disseminating information, and introducing the
product since this form of advertisements is usually installed in
high-traffic areas. People passing by will definitely be fascinated
and attracted to see such scenery.

[Link] Consumer Promos

The company will use some forms of sales promotion such as
offering product samples, freebies, and discounts. These are short-term
strategies to encourage purchase or sale of TropiAid products.
The firm will offer product samples during personal selling to allow
the target customers to actually try the products. These samples are for
free so that attracting probable customers will be easy. Eight hundred
100ml regular and massage liniments and 900 pieces of ointments will be
given away every year.
Moreover, starting on second year, the firm will give showcase kit
that contains the different varieties of the product. Specifically, the package
will contain one (1) inhaler, one (1) regular 50ml liniment, one (1) massage
50ml liniment, and one (1) of each variety of ointment. Instead of buying it
in its regular price, it will be offered with Php63.00 cash discount. Five
thousand packs will be made available each year.
[Link] Trade Promos
The firm will offer free products stands to each of the distributed
retailers for the first three years.
On the fourth and fifth year, the strategies above are continued, the
budget of which during those year will be doubled to intensify product
awareness so as to increase sales in these years.

Price Strategies
[Link] Objective

To set TropiAid products at premium to suggest quality but still

considering competitors pricing

To have a high mark that compromises with the operating cost

(promotions and distribution cost) and a profit margin of at least
60%.

To have a standard selling price in the different regions.

[Link] Method
In calculating for the prices, the proponents are guided by the
following pricing methods:

Customer-Based Pricing
The price is based on the customer demand or need for the

product. This demand is taken from the market research

conducted by the proponents through the price values they have
given for the given products. (See Appendix C: Survey Results)
Through the market research, it was discovered that the budgets
for a regular sized liniment and 10g ointments are:

Liniment (51-100ml)

Ointment (10g)

P51 to P60

P100 to P150

Price

Since TropiAid is a premium product, prices will fall slightly

above the range shown. This slight difference will promote the
products image into premium.

Competition-Based Pricing
This method will help TropiAid be competitive in terms of

price with other premium pharmaceutical products. The prices of

the products will only have slight differences with other premium
brands. This will suggest a good market share in the industry in the
future. (See Appendices E and F: Liniment and Ointment of
Category Matrixes)

Cost-Based Pricing
The cost in producing and selling the products are identified.

A desired net profit margin is then identified. The total cost and profit
margin are then added to get the selling price.

The tables above show the suggested retail price of

TropiAid products. In the liniment product line, the variety with the
least price is the Massage. This is due to the fact that massage
variant has less camphor content compared to the regular one.
In the ointment product line, the variety with the highest
price is the corticosteroid. This is due to the additives needed to the
increase of its effectiveness, thus, a higher cost is expected.
As shown in the table, the price per ml of TropiAid
corresponds basically to its costs considering some factors like
competitors price and survey results. But the level of effectiveness
proportionally increases as pricing increases. Its all-natural
formulation is the main difference of our product to its competitors.
In year 1, the unit price of liniment inhaler (2ml) is Php 30.00,
regular size (50ml) is Php 87.50 and Php 175.00 for regular and
massage respectively, and large size (100ml) is Php 175.00 and
P200.00 for regular and massage respectively For the ointment unit
prices, consisting only one size for three variants, antipruritic is
Php110.00, anti-fungal is Php 130.00 and the corticosteroids is Php
230.00.

The cost per unit is composed of the production expenses.

TropiAid products prices increase each year due to the predicted
inflation rate of 2.16% in years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Expansion of territory during the introductory years dictates the
(See Appendix G: Forecasted Inflation and GDP Rates) increase in
costs for distribution. Because of this, a decision of 5% increase in
price was made by the proponents. In the succeeding years,
advertising became more extensive compared to the former years,
thus, the 5% increase is still applied.
Such price increase does not greatly affect the customers.
According to the survey conducted by the proponents, in both
liniments and ointments consumers look for effectiveness, quality,
and their availability first before considering the prices. (See
Appendix C: Survey Results) Furthermore, prices increase due to
these factors, thus, they are reasonable enough to increase in such
rate.
27 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

All TropiAid products sold in retail channels will be paid once
purchased. Online purchases, credit cards are accepted. Other
costs incurred for delivery are not included in the computed prices.

Placement Strategies
[Link] Objective
Tropical Pharmaceuticals aims to penetrate a target market of
about 25% in Mindanao and 78% in Cebu. In order to do so, the products
are distributed depending on the deals arranged between the firm and the
retailers, pharmacies and drugstores, personal care shops, and malls,
corresponding to its locations. Once the deals were closed, it will then be
distributed throughout the branches under those retailers. The strategy for
further distribution to its branches will depend now on the retailers.
Furthermore, the company aims to make the products available and
accessible for their target market.
[Link] Distribution Blueprint
There are several urbanized cities that are considered to be primary
target markets of the firm. These cities are the following:

Davao Region: Davao City, Tagum City

Northern Mindanao: Cagayan de Oro City, Iligan City

SOCSKSARGEN: General Santos City

Zamboanga Peninsula: Zamboanga City

CARAGA: Butuan City, Surigao City

VISAYAS: Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City, Talisay

City, Carcar City, Consolacion City

(See Appendix H: Gantt Chart of Mall Distribution)

[Link] Distribution Channel
The primary target markets of the firm are the urbanized areas,
households and basically the ABC income level in the Mindanao and Cebu
area.
28 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

Given the selected key cities as the main potential target of the firm,
the company also taps the pharmacies, drugstores, personal care shops
and malls as their main retailers of their product to respective areas. In
order to penetrate those areas, it is the retailers responsibility to distribute
the products covered by the deal, agreed by the firm and the retailers, all
throughout their branches. Through this, the products are made available
and accessible enough by the consumers.
In order to penetrate those potential target establishments, there
must be assigned key accounts to hold each selected regions together with
the sales force to sell and promote the products.

[Link] Trade Discounts
The company will offer incentives to its distribution channels in
order for them to pursue and push the products to its potential buyers. The
company will give a discount, 1% of SRP, for all its variants and sizes to

Toll Manufacturing
Tropical Pharmaceuticals will produce the products through toll
manufacturing, an arrangement in which another company processes the raw
materials supplied by our company. Specifically, the company will supply the
banana, primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging to the toll manufacturer. After
the whole processing, the company picks up the packed finished goods then
brought and stored in the company warehouse.
If a breach of contract or discontinuity of agreement arises between
Tropical Pharmaceuticals and InventFoods, the firm will then push to deal with
Greenplus Corporation. With this, the alternative plan in line with the change of the
toll manufacturer will then pursue to continue the production. Due to the fact that
shipping a batch of banana fruits would be very expensive, it would be more
practical if the extracted oil from the banana is shipped to the toll manufacturer.
Therefore, the company will outsource Neoteheo International Inc., a company that
provides services in extracting essential oils from banana located in Toril, Davao
City. (For agreement details, see Appendix I and J: Toll Manufacturing Agreement
and SRP)
3.2.1

Operations
After several testing and certification procedures, the tolling operations

start. To further breakdown the processes that the supplied materials undergo, the
following flow chart is followed:

on the forecasted demand. Part of the 30-day inventory is an allowance for possible
defects and additional stocks to avoid stock out. As much as possible, the company targets
in satisfying the actual demand given a possible fluctuation of demand.

following:
44 | P a g e

A Business Plan of TropiAid

[Link] Damages upon Delivery
Products returned because of damages upon delivery are under
the responsibility of the tolling firm. The damaged products will then be
replaced by the firm without incurring any additional payments for
Tropical Pharmaceuticals. If such incident happen, the delivery team,

maintain the quality and safety of the product within the transportation
period.
[Link] Damaged Labels and Packaging

damaged labels and packaging. The retailers must inform the firm
regarding the concern of the defect of the products packaging for them
to replace it. The returned products will then be returned to the toll
manufacturer to be re-labeled and re-packaged subject again for resale.

4.1

Pre-Operating Period
4.1.1

Project Originators and Promoters

The project originators of the firm are Eugene Angelo I. Subang, and

Princess Grace B. Baquirel. (See Appendix K: Owners Resume) They will be one
of the incorporators of the corporation. The project originators will also be the one
who will overlook on all operations, from the pre-operating period to the
actualization of the business operations. Most especially, they are the main
decision makers in the company.
The project promoters of the company will be the proponents of this project.
Since the proponents are the project originators, they are knowledgeable of the
nature of the product, how the product was made, and its profile and benefits.
4.2

Operating Period
The type of business organization of the company will be a corporation. It is a

corporation shared among nine (9) investors. In a corporation, owners have a limited
liability since a corporation is a separate distinct legal entity. Owners of a corporation are
only indebted to the extent of their interest in the corporation. In addition, the corporations
power of succession enables it to enjoy a continuous existence since the shares of its
interest can be transferred from one owner to another. Also, because of limited liability,
ease of transfer of shares and continuity, investors are more attracted to investing in
corporations rather than in sole proprietorships and partnerships. This attraction allows
corporations to raise the capital needed to manage and expand their operations.
