 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project’s goal is to present a Marketing Plan

initiating PARAGON Glass and Aluminum Works, a local glass and

aluminum company that will be based in Oton, Iloilo,

Philippines.

As we value customer patronage and retention, we aim to

offer excellent services through quality materials that are

safe and reliable. PARAGON Glass and Aluminum Works will be

offering a variety of glass and aluminum products for the

public that comes in style, different colors and

specifications.

We adapted strategies to meet our customer’s needs such as

the company’s process map and teaming up with architectural

and construction firms. We also established an alliance with

our partners in Batangas, Philippines, to help us with the new

product offerings from our manufacturers.

Initially, the focus of PARAGON Glass and Aluminum

Workswill be limited to one (1) geographical location but as

soon as it hits operational development, market coverage will

be expanded and more distribution strategies will be initiated

to support the goal.

offering excellent services and will conduct trainings with

our partners and product familiarization for the continuous

improvement of service and practices of the company as the

 II. INTRODUCTION

Glass and aluminum has become the materials of choice for

windows, doors, shower enclosures, showcases, etc., and that’s

down to a number of basic advantages. The industry that was

once ruled by the traditional steel-type windows and wood-

based craftshas been taken over by aluminum. Aluminum-made

works are proven to be lighter and rust-proof, and more

complex designs compared to their steel counterpart. And due

to the strict policies and provisions imposed by the

government on logging trades, woods and lumbers became more

expensive and not an economic material to use.Also, aluminums

come in range of colors, sizes and styles, lightweight and

low-maintenance.

The glass and aluminum industry has been a long-running

industry. Several manufacturers had offered cheap but thin and

not reliable aluminum products. These types of aluminum

products have been widely used, mainly because of its lower

price compared to other brands.

We aim to establish our company in this industry, and this

marketing plan will provide us necessary details and

strategies to be adapted for a successful glass and aluminum

company. Our company also aims to offer reliable products and

8
 services and compete with the existing companies in the same

line of business.

 4.3.2 PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY

PARAGON Glass and Aluminum Works will be using Push

Promotional Strategy and will use personal selling and

trade promotions. The team will connect with architectural

and construction firms and secures deals with them. This

will enable the company to have a ready available

transaction aside from the daily walk-in customers.

As social media is widely used nowadays, mobile

platform, promotional ads and product demonstrations will

be posted on social media as part of promotional strategy.

To increase sales, the company will offer incentives

to individuals who are able to refer and secure an

installation contract.

The company will also offer discounts on large

contracts to attract bigger projects and more customers.

This has been a proven factor which affects the decisions

of customer’s buying behavior.

15
 4.3.4 DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

The company will commit to suppliers to establish

healthy partnership and ensure quality materials to better

satisfy the expectation of the company’s customers. From

the suppliers, the company will allocate certain area to

provide security and safety of the stocks. From the

company, the ready-to-install product will be delivered to

the costumer.

The company will use exclusive distribution. The

company will have exclusive distribution rights to carry

its own products within the territory. Desired location of

the shop should be near or with easy access from the

community, near the market, and preferably along the

national road. Also the company will secure a service truck

that will enable them to widen their market coverage.

16
 4.3.5 PRICING STRATEGY

PARAGON Glass and Aluminum Works will use the

Penetration Pricing Strategy,as there are already existing

companies who are engaged in the same line of business, to

be able to enter the market immediately.

In this type of industry, the basic pricing in windows

and doors is multiplying the area of the window or door by

square foot, to the price per square foot. Price per square

foot varies on what design and specifications, and

materials are chosen by the customers. For example, a

window’s dimension is 4 feet by 4 feet. The area will be 16

square foot (4feet x 4feet). The area will be multiplied to

the price per unit foot, in this case php260. So, 16 square

foot multiplied to php260 will be php4160.

In some products, Cost-Plus Pricing Strategy will be

used to cover the production cost, labor and mark-up as

well.
