Target Market
The target customers of Taterpots are people who are aged thirteen to
thirty, people who are in this age category tend to be more adventurous
than the people who are not. This age category was also chosen because
it is in that age that people often go to malls, where our stalls are located.
It is also in this age that people often try out different types of food for
experience. People who belong to this age category are most likely aware
of their health issues and allergies so as to avoid one from occurring.
Since taterpots’ price is student friendly, this age category is more than
qualified in terms of allowance and income. Taterpots primarily targets
those that are more adventurous with their food intake.

Business Proponents

Millen Hipolito as the owner, Edlan Joab Florendo as the operations
manager, Mark Gabriel Antonio as the finance manager, Katrina

Economical
Unites States imports its fresh potatoes to us but this year it increased
by 47.6% at around 15,000 metric tons and the demand for potato in
the Philippines is about 745,000 metric tons and because of the
continued increase of the dollar value, the pricing may be affected and
we need to be careful because most people tend to be more cautious
about how they spend their money, The production price of milk, a
vital ingredient in making cheese, has been going up and down for the
past few years, and can affect Taterpot’s amount of income.
Social/Socio-cultural
It is important to consider having a way of communication and
interaction with the people in our society so our company shows
interest in consumer's attitude and lifestyle changes. They need to
know where do their potential customers live, work and believe
because a business should have a social purpose. The products will
depend on the society. Considering the tastes and fashions that most
consumers want can also help a company’s product. Also, a business
can conduct a market research to know the things that they need to do
and also to be aware of their target market. The average level of
education in a community shapes the interests and sophistication of
consumers. A high percentage of potential customers with some
college education requires more details and explanations in
promotional material. A business must decide whether advertising
brochures should be printed in English alone or English and a second
language. If women are the decision makers in this pool of potential
customers, marketing strategies must be adjusted to appeal to
feminine values and concerns.
Reference groups are family members and relatives, neighbors, friends
and co-workers with whom individuals compare themselves and who
serve as examples in buying habits. Awareness of the major reference
3
groups, persons or family structures in a community is essential when
targeting marketing campaigns toward them. Sociocultural factors such
as disposable income are important in deciding whether potential
customers are likely to buy luxury items or whether a marketing plan
that emphasizes low cost and high value for necessities might be more
successful.
Technological
The present technology is faster and more efficient than before,
especially in the communication aspect with high speed internet and
smart phones. These technological aspects could be used in reaching
the potential customers of Taterpots faster on a daily basis with the
use of the internet in advertising the product via social media platforms
like Facebook and Twitter. The use of these medium would mean
cheaper advertising for the product as against using broadcast and
print media. A website for Taterpots would also be a good idea for
customer exchange of information on a regular basis to know how the
product is doing in the market. The website could also be on how the
product could be improved based on customer comments or
complaints. The internet could also be used for product delivery orders
if that would be incorporated in the future marketing plan.
Conclusion
We hereby conclude that Taterpots, a business solely owned by an
individual, all factors play a key role for the business. The political
factor affects its selling price as an equivalent for the expense and the
VAT that will also be added into consideration. The economic factor
will heavily affect the hiring of employee, to see which type of people
the business wants, it will also affect the final selling price of the
products, after careful analysis of its target market. Technological
factors offer innovative solutions as to modernizing the shop and gives
4
options to the owner to see what machines are best suited. The socio-
cultural factors affect the likelihood of the product to sell good, if the
consumers are comfortable or attracted to what the business offers.
