Project Description

The main product to be produced was a Rechargeable Electric Fan that has the functionality of a temperature sensor, automatically turns-off when temperature is cold enough, helps save energy consumption. It was eco-friendly because of its energy saving capability. The researchers named the product HEAT-SENSORED RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC FAN so that the consumers would easily recognize it and would easily know how to use it.

People whose ages 18 and above and are currently employed from the City of Tanauan and Municipality of Malvar, Batangas were chosen as target market. This part of the study determined and classified the size and nature of the present and potential customers of the proposed product. It analyzed the data gathered to identify the competitive position.

Demand and Supply Analysis

15

Since the proposed project is a new product, supply is presumed to be zero. This leads to equivalent values of demand and unsatisfied demand for the target market.

The business is expected to satisfy the target markets demand on the third year of operation. The business will expand on this period and will explore the Lipa market.
