focus. We will give free Kangen-grade water for consumer to test its health benefits. The LeveLuk SD501 machine is
costly that we knew from the beginning it will be the reason they would hesitate to purchase the product. But after
usage of the water and proving its efficiency and effectiveness on the health of each and everyone in the family, there
is no worry that they will come back to us and buy our product. When we speak of health, people pays to invest for

11. MARKET/CUSTOMER ANALYSIS
Demographics- OFW, 18 years and above, average income earners, residents in Rome and nearby cities.
Psychographics- customers are those people who give much value to the health of the family members and willing to
invest to the attain the best healthcare possible and within reach.
Resource-based on the interviews done and questionnaires given to prospected customers, data’s on the demand
were gathered.
Micro segmentation- the marketing segment will focus on the Overseas Filipino community and households who are
working very hard to give the best among the best for their families here in Rome and those who remains in the
Philippines. We will provide them our quality product that creates quality Kangen Water. Having one (product and
getting)-to- many(model) yet single segmented customers will help us give sharp focus and concentrate on the
demands of our customers. This chain will guide the business partners to mainly monitor and evaluate on the market
segment we choose.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Competition
After few observations and research, we have found out that most of the Filipino households in Rome are using
devices, i.e. water filtrating pitcher or water purifying devices usually bought from local vendors. The reason is they
all wanted to make sure that the water they will take is clean and safe to drink. Knowing that the tap water in Rome is
safe to drink, though, it’s hard and also in some cases, some water system they put so much chlorine in it. With the
more affordable price of the said devices, the competition to buy LeveLuk SD501 Kangen Water machine is very high.
But with all the value propositions of our product, the company where it is originated and manufactured, having all
the certificates of the water industry, the value of the machine and the quality of water it creates , the payment plan
that Enagic,Inc. has provided and the income in it, we believe that a greater impact on competition could be won.
Taking as well into consideration that customers buying power is greatly enhanced by the benefits the machine could
provide them.
Substitutes
Most substitutes which are seen threats are the bottled drinking water, home water purifiers and local vendors selling
osmosis water purifier. Bottled waters can be considered low cost but if we are to compute the consummated bottled
water for a day that is 2 liters(365 days)= 730 liters(.60E)= 438E/yr. x 15 yrs = 6,570E. Whereas, with LeveLuk SD501
Kangen water machine, only E3,308.00 for a lifespan of 15 years. Home water purifiers are also low cost same as
osmosis water purifier but does not provide the same health merits a Kangen water machine can give. Threats from
competitors and substitutes are not seen to be very dangerous.
10
12. New Entrants
New entrants with similar product, providing the same healthcare satisfaction and financial benefit is considered to be
threat to the business but the reality of that fact is very hard to imagine comparing with the mother company’s track
record in creating high technology best quality water generator and ionizing machine, our product is highly
competitive.
Customers
Poor healthcare and lack of additional income are two of the basic problems we will try to resolve with this business
activity. Overseas Filipino workers are working hard and most of them are away from their families. The hardships are
dedicated to provide good living to their families, meeting the best of their healthcare needs considering this as vital
to mans’ survival. Considering the health benefits of our product, all these stimulus will motivate the customers
purchasing power on procurement of the machine. Giving emphasis on the value of the machine and its quality water,
disease free-family are the points they will consider for the purchase. In addition, the possibility of being a “ good
Samaritan” helping other people and earning at the same time through the distribution of the machine will be an
achievement for them.
Suppliers
The power, integrity and success invested on the mother company and manufacturer, Enagic, Inc., is sufficient enough
for us to continue this business, the competition in the water industry is really inspiring to enter into. Enagic is in the
boom of its mission, that is providing people with a better life making them physically, mentally and financially
healthy.
Potential for growth
Expansion of the business from center to south of Italy. We will also expand our target market to medical doctors,
hospitals, gyms, rehabilitation centers, home for the aged and skin care clinics. This business is already introduced in
Milan, Bologna and Parma. In five months, 14 machines have been bought there. In addition, based on our research,
there are more or less 5 Italians doing this business here in Italy and they have leveled-up. With this facts, we are
keen on the vision that our business has a greater potential growth in this country and on its nearby cities as well.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINT-HANDLING
Despite best efforts to please our customers, we acknowledge that there will be customer complaints. And because
we believe that customer is always right and that an irate customer can be our best ally, we have outlined our action
points in order to handle complaints effectively.
14
16. Complaints Action point
Assessment This includes listening to the customer and understanding the complaint. We will then
map out the issue to find the root cause of the situation to know how we can best address
the problem.
Lessons Learned We will document all customer complaints, including its root cause and solution to
understand whether the issues were small one-off items, or whether these are signals for a
systemic but controllable risk.
OPERATIONAL STRATEGY
OPERATING PLAN
To operate the business, we need mobile phones, internet, office supplies, printing machine and supplies, fax
machine and most importantly, the start-up equipments. The machine will be placed either in the residence of the
partners.
LeveLuk SD501 Kangen water machine---Installment of the diverter, Setting up the unit(connect the water supply
hose), Plug-in the power cord, Click on Kangen water (pH 8.5)---Run water(for the first time or after exchanging
filter)slowly for 3 minutes, until the arrow comes out in the LCD(screen)---Ionized water is flowing---Share FREE
Kangen Water to customers.
Demonstration will usually be on Sundays from 1-3pm(outdoor), 7-8:30pm(indoor) which include pH testing, discuss
how to connect the machine properly to the faucet and putting the filter, clicking buttons for the kind of water
needed depending on pH level, finally distribute water. Discuss how the compensation plan works, this is for
prospected agents.
SALES FORECAST
We have 50 units sold for the first year, 18 direct customers, for a total commissions of E8,470.00. We will continue
nd rd nd
to the 2 and 3 year until we reach the 6A rank. Extension of target market maybe done on the 2 year. We will
extend the promotion of the product to doctors, hospitals, gyms, skin care clinics and home for the aged institutions
and to nearby cities of Rome. See Annex I.
SALES VOLUME
nd
We intend to have 100 or more unit as per group sales in the 2 year to reach the rank of 6A. From 18 direct sales, 16
has sold 32 units. We need more or less 30 direct sales to reach our target group sale of 100 units. The only thing that
hinders us from meeting that gross sale is when the direct sales becomes frozen, and even the indirect customers.
Limited time on promotion and demonstration could also put us in the difficulty of attaining our target sale.
