unique brand identity and fostering customer loyalty through quality
products and engaging marketing, the business aims to become well-
known locally and beyond. Additionally, the business seeks to grow its
distribution from local to regional and eventually national levels,
partnering with local stores and grocery chains while exploring e-
commerce channels to reach more customers.
Sustainability is also a priority, with a commitment to sourcing
ingredients responsibly and using eco-friendly packaging that appeals
to environmentally conscious consumers. Over time, the business
envisions establishing a physical presence, either through storefronts
5
or a franchise model, to provide customers with a dedicated space to

further enhance the brand’s reputation; the business aims to engage
in community events, collaborate with other small businesses, and

widely recognized brand in the dessert industry.
If this project proposal is funded, it holds the potential to
positively impact both society and the economy. Should the business
achieve profits beyond initial expectations, there is a strong likelihood
that the proponents will contribute to social development. By offering
a range of food products likely to appeal to a wide audience, the
business aspires to meet consumer needs and demands. Its vision is
to enhance and innovate the quality of products available in the
market, ultimately ensuring customer satisfaction.
6
After extensive discussions and brainstorming on what product
would best cater to the market, the proponents have finally decided
to produce a unique treat called "Graham Bars”. Inspired by the
popular dessert mango float, Graham Bars takes this classic recipe
and gives it a modern twist by transforming it into bar form, perfect
for easy snacking. This product combines layers of graham crackers,
cream, and mango bits, creating a familiar yet innovative dessert that
stands out in the market.
Graham Bars stands out in the market because it is a refreshing
alternative to typical sari-sari store offerings, which often feature
more conventional snacks and desserts. By re-imagining the mango
float as a grab-and-go dessert bar, Graham Bars brings familiarity
with a unique twist that will surely intrigue consumers. Additionally,
the product is designed to be affordable, ensuring that it appeals to a
wide range of customers who can enjoy a premium-tasting dessert.
7
The product launch is set to occur in five months. Brainstorming
will take place from October to November, during which the
proponents will spend two months determining the best product to
ensure profitability. December is dedicated to planning and
implementing the business strategy including securing necessary
licenses, permits, and documents to ensure compliance with
regulations. Testing and prototyping are scheduled for January and
February, lasting a total of two months. Lastly, the operation is
expected to officially start in March 2025.
For Graham Bars, the proponents decided to have an equal
share in investing. Each proponent contributes a share to the initial
capital, which covers essential expenses such as ingredients,
packaging, and initial marketing efforts. This self-funding approach
allows the proponents to maintain full ownership of the business and
avoid debt or high-interest loans. Since the business is still in its
startup phase, this approach provides a low-risk way to begin
operations without the burden of external financing.
8
Given that the business is still in its early stages, there is
currently no need to secure large loans from banks or other lending
institutions. By self-funding, the proponents maintain control over
their finances and limit unnecessary financial risks while the business
grows. The proposed start-up capital for the Graham Bars business is
sourced from the contributions of the nine proponents.
Each of the nine proponents contributes ₱35,811 each, resulting
in a total investment of ₱322,300. This amount is allocated to cover
essential expenses, including raw materials such as graham crackers,
mangoes, cream, and other ingredients, as well as the necessary tools,
equipment, and packaging supplies needed for production.
The Graham Bars tap into the growing demand for convenient,
affordable, and delicious treats that offer a unique twist on traditional
favorites. Combining graham crackers and creamy fillings, which are
9
familiar and nostalgic ingredients, makes the product accessible to a
broad customer base. In addition, the Philippines has a vibrant food
culture focused on indulgent desserts and snacks, where consumers
often seek high-quality yet affordable options.
Graham Bars are well-positioned to meet this demand,
providing a product that strikes a balance between familiarity and
innovation. With its simple yet delightful combination of textures and
flavors, the product will likely appeal to Filipino families and individuals
who are looking for easy-to-share, satisfying treats for various
occasions. This combination of convenience, affordability, and flavor
makes Graham Bars a product that can capture the hearts of local
consumers.
The technical feasibility of Graham Bars is high due to the
accessibility of its key ingredients, which are readily available and
commonly used in Filipino cuisine. Graham crackers, a primary
component of the product, are widely available in local supermarkets.
The creamy fillings used in Graham Bars, which could include
10
ingredients like condensed milk, cream cheese, or whipped cream,
are also staples in Filipino kitchens and desserts.
These ingredients are cost-effective and easy to source, making
the production process efficient and scalable. Additionally, the use of
familiar flavors enhances the product's appeal, as they align with
Filipino tastes and preferences for rich, creamy, and indulgent treats.
The overall production process for Graham Bars is straightforward,
requiring minimal specialized equipment, and the ingredients can be
sourced in bulk to keep production costs low.
The business endeavors initially need ₱322,300 in order to
purchase office equipment, raw materials or ingredients, cover the
miscellaneous expenses and more essentials for the production. This
capital comes from the contribution of each member. The proponents
believes that viable because of its low cost but high return of
investment.
11
The Graham Bars presented an opportunity to not only meet the
growing demand for affordable and healthy snacks but also to foster
community development and create meaningful job opportunities.
The product is designed to cater to a diverse group of consumers,
including students, young professionals, and families, who are seeking
convenient, nutritious, and budget-friendly snack options. Additionally,
the proponents aim to contribute to the local economy by offering job
opportunities to individuals who face barriers to full-time employment
by creating positions in areas such as production, distribution, and
sales, Sweet Mess can provide valuable work experiences for part-
time workers, individuals re-entering the workforce, and those looking
for flexible job opportunities.
The management feasibility for launching Graham Bars appears
promising, supported by a well-organized structure, effective
operational strategies, and targeted marketing efforts. By focusing on
organizing the business operations, planning for efficient resource
12
allocation, and directing a motivated team, the business can
effectively establish itself in the competitive snack food market.
To ensure operational efficiency, the company will place a high
priority on hiring skilled staff and making sure roles and duties are
clear. While directing will concentrate on creating a productive work
atmosphere and offering the required assistance for staff
development, planning will entail establishing reasonable goals and
deadlines. Additionally, active risk control and regulatory compliance
will promote sustainability and growth, making Graham Bars a
desirable option for customers who are health-conscious.

The proponent’s chosen product is named "Graham Bar". It is a
delightful, innovative snack that transforms the classic mango float

graham layers that enhance its appeal. This makes it ideal for

14
digestion.

combination of visibility and practicality makes the packaging both

A survey was conducted among 10 participants to assess the
consumer perception of Sweet Mess - Graham Bars. The primary
focus of the survey was to gather insights regarding various factors
including taste, appearance, size, price, packaging, frequency of
consumption, and the likelihood of recommending the product to
others. The findings from this survey provide valuable information to
guide product improvements and marketing strategies for Sweet
Mess.
The taste of Sweet Mess-Graham Bars was unanimously
appreciated by the respondents. The overwhelming majority of
participants described the flavor as highly enjoyable, with many
stating that the bars provided a perfect balance of sweetness and
texture. The taste was considered a key strength of the product, with
several respondents using terms like "delicious" and "addictive" to
describe their experience. This positive reception suggests that the
flavor profile of the Graham Bars is well-aligned with consumer
preferences and represents a competitive advantage in the snack
16
market. Furthermore, the high satisfaction with taste positions the
product as a potential leader in this category, making it an essential
focus in future marketing communications.
Regarding the visual appeal of the Graham Bars, respondents
expressed favorable opinions. The majority of participants noted that
the bars had an attractive and appetizing appearance, which plays a
crucial role in consumer purchase decisions. An appealing product
appearance is essential for initial consumer attraction, and the survey
responses confirm that Sweet Mess has successfully created a visually
appealing product. While the packaging itself was not extensively
scrutinized in terms of its design, the visual presentation of the bars
was considered appropriate and contributed positively to the overall
product perception.
The portion size of the Graham Bars was also rated positively.
Most respondents indicated that the size of the bars was ideal neither
too large nor too small offering a satisfying snack experience. Several
participants specifically mentioned that the size was convenient for
consumption during a break or as a mid-day snack. This indicates that
17
Sweet Mess has struck an effective balance between portion control
and consumer satisfaction, an important factor when positioning the
product within a competitive market. The appropriate sizing also
suggests that Graham Bars can cater to consumers who seek a
fulfilling yet moderate snack option, making it versatile for various
consumer needs.
The pricing of Sweet Mess - Graham Bars was seen as fair and
reasonable by the survey respondents. The majority of participants
expressed that the product offered good value for money, with several
highlighting that they found the price to be competitive within the
snack category. The feedback suggests that the pricing strategy is
aligned with consumer expectations, and the product's perceived
value makes it accessible to a broad audience. Given the positive
response to price, it is evident that Sweet Mess has positioned its
product in a way that meets the price sensitivity of its target market
without compromising quality.
While the packaging of Sweet Mess - Graham Bars was generally
regarded as adequate, some respondents suggested that there is
18
room for improvement. A few participants indicated that the
packaging could be more visually striking or functional. Suggestions
for improvement included making the packaging more eco-friendly or

enhance its branding and packaging design to further align with
consumer desires and enhance the overall product experience.
In terms of consumption frequency, respondents indicated that
they would consume Sweet Mess - Graham Bars a few times a week,
rather than daily. This suggests that the product is viewed as a
satisfying and enjoyable snack that fits well into consumers' routines,
but not as a daily necessity. The moderate frequency of consumption
may indicate that the product is perceived as an occasional treat or a
snack that is consumed when desired. This insight presents both

increase consumption frequency, such as by offering promotions or
19
suggesting new usage occasions.
One of the most encouraging findings from the survey was that

Graham Bars to a friend. This strong likelihood of recommendation is
a positive indicator of overall satisfaction with the product. Word-of-
mouth referrals are an important driver of new customer acquisition,
and the survey results suggest that Sweet Mess has cultivated a
product that generates high levels of consumer trust and loyalty. This
feedback is particularly valuable as it indicates that the product not
only meets but exceeds consumer expectations, making it a
compelling choice for repeat purchases and recommendations to
others.
The proponents carefully considered all costs involved in
producing their product, including ingredient prices, labor wages,
transportation for raw materials, and additional expenses like utilities
and packaging. Factoring in an 100% markup for profitability, they
arrived at a final price of Php 45.00. After assessing these costs, the
20
proponents are confident this price offers great value to customers by
balancing affordability with the quality they expect, while also
ensuring sustainable business growth.
There are several key factors can significantly influence the
market for this type of business. Price, often a primary determinant of
demand, is crucial. Graham Bar aims to strike a balance between
quality and affordability, offering products and services at reasonable
prices to attract a wider customer base.
Sourcing ingredients is relatively straightforward, as they can be
obtained from readily available sources like grocery stores or other
affordable outlets. This ensures a consistent supply chain, mitigating
potential disruptions. However, consumer income levels can vary
significantly, and some may have limited budgets for discretionary
spending, which could impact demand for non-essential products. To
mitigate this, strategies like targeted promotions and value-added
offerings can be implemented.
21
The market for this type of business is highly competitive, with
numerous businesses offering similar products. To differentiate and
attract customers, a multi-pronged marketing approach is necessary.
Social media marketing, leveraging the power of online platforms to
reach a wider audience, can be highly effective. Additionally,
traditional marketing methods like flyer distribution and word-of-
mouth promotion can complement digital efforts.
By carefully considering these factors and implementing
effective strategies, Graham Bar can position itself as a competitive
player in the market and achieve sustainable growth.
This marketing plan proposes a multi-faceted approach to
launching Mango Graham Bars, targeting college students as a key
demographic. Leveraging the power of social media, we will focus on
platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, utilizing short-form
video content showcasing the product's unique flavor profile and
convenience.
22
Influencer marketing campaigns featuring relatable college
student personalities will build credibility and generate authentic
engagement. We will also explore partnerships with campus
organizations and student unions to offer product samples and
sponsor events, fostering a strong brand presence within the college
environment. Online advertising through targeted ads on platforms
frequented by students will supplement these efforts. Finally, strategic
placement of eye-catching point-of-sale displays in campus
convenience stores and cafes will drive impulse purchases.
The projected budget for this campaign will prioritize digital
marketing strategies, allocating a significant portion to social media
advertising and influencer partnerships. A smaller budget will be
dedicated to print materials, primarily for eye-catching posters and
flyers to be strategically placed in high-traffic areas on campus.
Contingency funds will be set aside to adapt to changing trends and
respond to opportunities for increased engagement. We will
continuously monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as
engagement rates, website traffic, and sales data to optimize
spending and ensure maximum return on investment. This data-
23
driven approach will allow us to refine our strategy throughout the
campaign, maximizing its effectiveness within the college student
market.
