For our transportation, we will hire trucks or partner with
delivery companies, for efficient movement of goods, for local
deliveries we will use small vans or local services for quick
deliveries to customers or store. For scheduling strategy it
involves fixed days for regular shipments to ensure steady
supply, for local deliveries naman we will adjust based on
customers order to avoid delays, for route planning we will use
maps kung saan makikita yung hindi traffic for fastest routes.
For storage location naman is near highways para sa central
warehouse at para naman sa smaller storage ay don sa high ang
demand
Para naman maensure na maayos ang quality ng product dapat
ma inspect Mabuti ang condition ng mga goods before sending

The goal of this selling activity is to help future marketers understand
the kind of world they will face in the future. It aims to teach them
about market trends, consumer preferences, and how to approach
challenges and opportunities in the future. In this activity, the focus is
on selling different products from three carefully chosen partners:
Enrico's Dairy Products, Edje Chips, and Personal Collection. These
partners were selected after careful thought about their quality and the
types of products they offer.
I chose Enrico’s as one of my business partners because they offer
organic and affordable products that appeal to consumers. Throughout
the activity, Enrico's was very approachable, and there were no
misunderstandings at all. They also provided us with an icebox to store
cold drinks, making it much easier for us to transport the products.
With Enrico's support, I was able to achieve a total gross sales of 5,466.
My second business partner is Edje, that sells affordable snacks, which
are perfect for my consumers, especially since many of them are
students. Edje offers a wide variety of chips, including kamote chips,
banana chips, taro chips and cassava chips. Partnering with Edje allows
me to meet the needs of my customers while offering high-quality, tasty
products.
For my final business partner, I chose Personal Collection because they
offer a wide range of essential products for the home. Their product
lineup includes cleaning supplies, body and hair care essentials, laundry
detergents, and much more. Their diverse range of practical products
ensures that I can meet the various needs of my customers, offering
them quality items that are essential for daily life.
During this activity, as someone new to this type of work, I started by
promoting the products on online platforms and offering them to my
friends and family. To keep my customers coming back, I offered a 10%
discount for those who purchased five or more products. However,
there were challenges I had to overcome. One major issue was with
delivery times. At first, delays were understandable due to valid
reasons, but as time went on, the delays became more frequent and
less justifiable. From this experience, I learned the importance of
patience and the need for clear communication with my partners to
avoid such issues in the future.
I learned how to effectively market and sell products by using various
strategies and techniques. This experience helped me develop better
communication skills, particularly in working with partners and handling
challenges. I also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of
teamwork in business, as without the support of my business partners, I
wouldn't have been able to achieve any sales. Overall, this experience
has improved my ability to handle practical business situations,
strengthen customer relationships, and adapt to unforeseen challenges.
It has given me the confidence to approach future with a more strategic
mindset.
this selling activity provided me with beneficial ideas about the
future of marketing. I gained a better understanding of how to
properly distribute items, communicate with consumers
efficiently, manage my time, and be patient when working with
clients and business partners. I have gained a greater awareness
of myself, my capabilities, and places for improvement. With
the help of this activity, I've gained clarity and a greater idea of
the type of future I want to pursue and that is becoming a
successful marketer.
