CAE Tech Internet Café is a partnership and service-driven business that serves
as a digital hideaway for people and groups looking for reliable internet connection,
desktop accommodations, and a relaxing environment to carry out multiple activities
on the internet. “CAE” means “College of Accounting Education” derived from
proponents’ previous educational background. Subsequently, “Tech” comes from the
word “technology” that is very essential in the proponents’ business.

Guerrero Street, Población District, Davao City, Davao Del Sur and will be open
24/7. The target market is, but not limited to ages from 16 to 64 years old who are

amount of ₱318,945, an inverter type air Condition with an amount of ₱24,250, legal
documents amounting to ₱21,270, as well as furniture and fixtures amounted to

Accounting Education.

based activities, and take advantage of various online amenities. Our Internet

 II. Market Analysis

The age of technology and digitalization has widened the possibilities of business
opportunities. The aftermath of the pandemic has led to major changes in almost all
areas of human lives. Hence, CAE Tech is well-positioned to serve a varied group of
customers, including students, freelancers, travelers, and gamers, given the growing
dependence on digital technology and the necessity for bandwidth. These include
the mode of learning and the increased demand for computer usage.

Target Market, Size, Demographics, and Trends

Población District has a total population of 173,896 with an estimate target

market of 113,867 based on the percentage of the working-age group based on the
2020 census. The major target market of this business is composed of, but not
limited to, young individuals aged 16 – 26 years old who are in high school or college
level of education. The rationale behind this demographic is because most academic
institutions in the country have adopted blended learning systems which require
students to have access to computers and internet connection. In addition, we
recognized several trends that have an impact on our company strategy, such as the
rise in popularity of remote work options, which has increased the requirement for
dependable internet connectivity and cozy spaces other than typical workplaces.
Also, the change favoring e-learning in the field of education has made our services
desirable to learners as well as educators. Additionally, the growing popularity of
playing games online is rising, and we intend to capitalize on this development by
providing gaming equipment and a special area for players.

Competition and Competitive Advantage

Two major competitors in the market that are already well established were
identified. However, modern tools and effective customer support are going to
differentiate us ahead of the competitors. Our price strategy strikes a balance
between budget and outstanding service, enabling us to draw clients from a range of
socioeconomic backgrounds. Thus, our company's business approach is built to be
adaptive to changing consumer needs and trends in the market. This guarantees
that we can remain innovative and react fast to market changes.

 III. SWOT Analysis
A. Strengths

CAE Tech’s main strength as a business lies in the aftermath of Covid-19

pandemic. Though many industries were greatly affected by the global crisis, it
also gave opportunities to open new frontiers in delivering services and products.
The digitalization of almost every aspect of human life has given computer-
related services enough attention to feature its significance in society. The use of
online learning also increased the needs of students to access computer devices
which is the main offer of this business.

B. Weaknesses

The weakness CAE Tech’s operation is the restriction of certain policies.

Included in the business’ target market are minors that have curfews for using
computer services because computers also act as a distraction to high school
students. This weakness shall hinder the business from attaining its maximum
capacity, which in turn decreases the overall service revenue each year.

C. Opportunities

Many industries nowadays have begun digitalization of its operation. Online

shopping as well as streaming services have begun increasing its popularity. With
these trends, an opportunity to co-partner with these industries shall be probable
in the future. CAE Tech provides computer access which is a significant factor in
accessing these online services, so as long as technological advancement
continues, the demand for computer services shall also remain essential in the
market.

D. Threats

As technology continues to improve, many computer devices are also

becoming easily accessible by the masses. Computer devices are now easily
replicated and offered at a very low price. This threatens internet cafes since it
will discourage customers from availing computer services. Also, the sudden
increase in mobile phones’ performance also introduced a new way to do gaming.
Computer games that were previously in high demand in internet cafes are now

Page | 5
starting to get a low player base due to the increase in popularity for mobile
games such as Mobile Legends.

Page | 6
 IV. Marketing Plan

To cater for most of the target market and streamline the services of the
business, an effective promotion strategy is needed. The business shall focus
primarily on establishing a healthy and integrated relationship with its customers
through providing services that will greatly benefit the target market. The list of
strategies that CAE Tech shall adapt are as follows:

1. Adapt with the trends – students and young individuals love to be updated
with the current trends in pop culture. Taking advantage of these trends
shall encourage customers to avail themselves of services in the business
since it offers a sense of familiarity and connectivity with the modern
audience.
2. Collaborate with academic institutions – since one of the marketing
strategies of CAE Tech is to offer academic-focused services, collaborating
with academic institutions shall provide access to most of the target
market. This shall be done through consultation with program heads
and/or academic staff with the student’s needs and specific guidelines that
need to be adhered to improve the latter’s academic performance.
3. Provide excellent customer service – to encourage customer’s patronage
to the business, all staff and employees of CAE Tech shall be properly
orient to practice respectful relations and maximum tolerance towards
customers and;
4. Offer loyalty programs – frequent and regular customers shall also be
given VIP Pass that features various benefits such as discounted rates
and freebies (if the operation ever exceeds its projected sales).
5. Social Media Presence - an internet café's ability to succeed depends on
its social media presence. It increases exposure, makes targeted
marketing easier, fosters community, and offers an environment for live
customer interaction and service promotion.

Pricing Strategy

Our pricing approach is designed to support our business while considering

the various tastes and budgets of our consumers. The following are the major
components:
