education, provide shelter and food to the deprived ones of the society.
2. To get a minimum donation amount of RM2000 during the entire charity
fundactivity
3. To sell about 485 chocolates boxes.
Target Market
Students of Taylor’s, mostly couples of age group 16-25.
Staff members of age group 25-50 years old.
Citizens visiting the University campus, during the sale day, most of them was in a
festive mood of “Valentines Day” they will buy chocolate for their loved ones as the
sales were during the valentines day week.
Competition Analysis
During the sale days, we had obviously competitors as they also were trying to sell
items for which profits will be donated in a particular charity drive event. We had two
main rivals;
1. Kawthar’s group
This group was selling an Arizona rare drink. It was in a quite big can, which
contained green tea, sufficient enough, and they were selling it at RM 9.00 only. This
drink was new in the market nobody has ever heard about it before, and people were
more tempted to try a new taste. Eventually, many liked that new beverage and it was
a trend among students for a week only. Moreover, the group was walking around the
University campus to ask for donation in order to reach their goal the charity.

4. 2. Alisha’s group
Her group was selling chocolates, mostly M&Ms chocolate, as their main product.
They were selling those chocolates at a relatively lower price than mine. In general,
people buy cheaper items preferentially, and most of the students and staff will prefer
to buy cheaper chocolates. Besides chocolates, they were also selling roses,
wristbands and other girly stuffs that were in favor of them, as many people would
buy these items as valentines’ gift for their partners. In addition, Alisha’s group also
was moving round the campus to seek for donation to support their particular charity
association.
Vulnerabilities
The sale took place during the Valentines Day week. My company, La Chocolaterie
was selling chocolate of very good quality at an affordable price. Our target was
mainly couple as they would like to buy for each other chocolates. Our chocolates
were kind of unique one; every unit was different to each other. They had special
“love messages” written on it using chocolates of different colors. These determining
elements of ours made people more attracted to buy our chocolates, rather than cheap
ones, which can be found in every supermarket.

9. Promotion
Our marketing motto was to foster “Education, the 3 basic needs; food, shelter and
clothing” to the needy people of the community.
Primarily, education is a fundamental asset and also is a human right which
everybody should have access to. In order to obtain a good education, financing is
essential. That’s the reason we are raising funds for the Ti-Ratana organization.
We had 4 main ways of advertising our products
 A Facebook page, “La Chocolaterie”, that we created before the
charity drive
 Face-to-Face conversation with students, staffs and public
 Free tester, on spot
 Via Posters
Using the famous social networking website, Facebook, allowed us to make our
products more visible to a greater number of people. In addition, Face-to-face
conversations allow us to suggest ideas of our products more openly to customers.
Moreover, we also allow visitors to taste our chocolates, cookies and so on, to let
them have a better idea of our products, which surely convey them, to buy
more.Posters are eye-catching and effective marketing tools which can lurepotential
buyers from a quite a distance, this helped us a great in the advertising process.

10. Sponsors
Sponsorship
Chocolate Graphics was our main sponsor. There were several individual anonymous
sponsors who contributed to this project. Also, my group members and I sponsored
some amount of money.
Our main product was chocolate, something that almost everybody love. That’s why
we have chosen Chocolate graphics as our main sponsors, financing us to support the
cause that we are fighting for Ti-Ratana.
We contacted them through several means such as sponsorship letter& e-mails,
telephone call and face-to-face meetings.
Before the charity drive we contacted many chocolate manufacturers to obtained
sponsorship, among which include;




Beryls
Chocolate World
Le Bourne
Famous Amos
These Chocolate companies did not replied, concerning the sponsorship. One of the
reasons might be that they are too busy with bulk orders as they are big firms and will
not concentrate with some minor charity drive.

11. Distribution
Our goods for this charity fund drive are not obtained or renewable. We made
estimation on an approximate amount before we ordered our products. Our main
mean of distribution is via the vehicles of our group members, in which they gathered
our products days ahead before the charity drive event.
We placed our products in the car and collected each items with the help of my group
members, then we set up the stall. All our products weredisplayed on the stall before
we sold them all. Consequently, buyers do not have to wait for our products as we do
our best to hand over the goods they want in the shortest time interval.
We are collecting fund for Ti-Ratana, which is quite well known in Malaysia, we can
approach visitors for donation and support in our products very easily. Actually, there
weremany customers who donated generous amounts in support of the cause.
Operational Budget
From our main sponsor, “Chocolate Graphics” we obtained some chocolates as
sponsorship. We managed to gain RM1000 from my group members and also from
individuals.
All the profit and donation gained was donated to Ti-Ratana Organization.

12. Human Resource Planning
Human resources planning arephases that classify human resources requirements for
us to accomplish our missions. Human resources planning should function as a
connection between human resources management and the generalcalculated plan of
an association. We achieve financial plans to be sure that we could reach the goal
fixed by lecturer and us, which is collectingRM2000for a time delay of 5days.
Though we have small stall with few 4 members, we built up a strategic proposal to
monitorresults. Our strategic HR planning has lead us to view from a budgetary
perspective so that we can account the prices of products into our operating budget.

13. Evaluation of results
The objectives we set to accomplished in our business charity fund project are to
obtain sponsorship, search for providers for the goods we want to trade, earn at
least RM2000, sell away all the goods we bought and donate our money earned,
sales income and donation to Ti-Ratana Organization, Malaysia
All of our group members were appointed by our group leader, Bibi Ameerah Peerun
to contact a few firms or people who wish to allocate us sponsorship. After a several
trials, we have successfully obtained chocolates from Chocolate Graphics as
sponsorships where all the profits will be donated to Ti-Ratana, and also we bought
some additional chocolate. Moreover, we were able to collect RM1000 as donation
from people. The sponsorship we have collected is used in the purchaseof goods that
we are going to sell during the charity function.
It is very difficult to find providers who are willing to sponsor their goods to us or
supply at lower price. Thus, we decided what products to sell during the charity drive.
Nevertheless, we have managed to search for suppliers and sponsor in the right time.
We obtained 485 boxes of chocolate from our main sponsor, Chocolate Graphics. The
485 boxes contain chocolate box (5x5cm), chocolate (3x3cm), chocolate cookies, and
lollipop.
Our target was to collect more than RM2000 during our charity drive function, which
lasted for 5 days, so we evaluated our performance according on capital, sales and
donation. We studied the sales into anticipated ups and downs. We expected that
70%of our products would be over in the third day. In response to our goal, we have
earned only RM1600, which consists of the capital, sales and donation. We have sold
out about 55% of our products: chocolate, lollipop, and cookies, as a whole.
As a conclusive note, we did not reached our aimed amount of donation, which is
RM2000. May be, people were more interested with cheaper products or our
advertisement did not reach many people.
