The Problem and Its Background

Introduction
Nowadays, companies need to maintain their status in
the competitive race of the global demand. That is where
they need to establish more promotional activities for them
to attract the public and be noticed. Promotional activities
include all the activities carried out by the organization
for promoting its brand. An organization can also promote
its product through public relations i.e by use of
newspapers and media. It can sponsor events to become
prominent in the eyes of the customers. The ultimate goal of
any promotional activities is to increase the sales of its
product or to create brand awareness among consumers. The
process of promoting product or a brand using different
promotional mediums like internet, tv, radio or newspapers
is a promotional activity. The main motto behind promotional
activity is just for creating brand value. This can be
achieved depending on how effectively you promote a product.
One of the methods of promoting a product is promotional

gifts. Most of the companies come up with promotional 2
activities mixed with

TECHNOLOGY

different advertising like print, billboard, broadcast
media, internet, referral, and internet advertising. By the
use of this consistent activity, this will keep the name of
your company and the benefits of your products upper most in
the mind of the consumer. Promotional activities play a big
role in every resorts and hotels because it draws customers
to patronize the establishment. It is centered on meeting
the customers needs at a very affordable price, which maybe
one of the most including factors to consider. The
profitability and growth of a company will always depend on
how the customers patronize you.
A resorts and hotel is a place used
for relaxation or recreation, attracting visitors
for vacations and/or tourism. Resorts are places, towns or
sometimes commercial establishment operated by a single
company. Batis Aramin situated at the foot of Mount Banahaw,
is among the reasons you would want to go to Lucban, Quezon
home of the world famous Pahiyas Festival and Longganisang
Lucban. Batis Aramin is right across the Kamay ni Hesus

Healing Church and Vio Dolorosa Grotto, hectares of
lush resort right at the foot of Mount Banahaw, Batis Aramin

is a nature park spot for boating,

camping, biking, trailing and so much more. The development
of Batis Aramin rooted from the childhood dream of Mr.
Filomeno D. Valde. The property has been sold to the family
when he was still young. It has become a favorite picnic
place for his friends. It is a blessed land because old
folks say that the place used to be the hiding place of the
Holy Sepulcre (MahalnaSenyor) during the World War II.
Fascinated by its green meadows, abundant vegetation, cool
fresh air and its ever flowing crystal clear water from the
spring called the ARAMIN, he decided to convert it to a
resort.

CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies

Local Literature TECHNOLOGY
Promotions have four (4) elements called the

Promotions Mix. They are advertising, public relations,
personal selling and sales promotions. The primary
objectives of promotions are to predict and modify customer-
purchasing behavior, most often to improve sales. An
effective and sounds sales promotion program couldnt be
approach in a haphazard way. Rather, it demands careful
research, analysis and experimentation as well as the
exercise of good judgment. (Miranda, 2005)
Sales promotion needs to be coordinated with other
promotional tools to the Extra Value offered communicated
to the right target groups. Some promotional techniques are
relative inexpensive the least expensive channel for
reaching the mass audience usually in advertising control
over the message content is also very high advertising.
However, the effectiveness of any promotional effort depends
to the large extent, on the nature of market and various
environmental factors as well as the message contents. (Go,
2006)

product sales promotion should be planned carefully and the

be featured, preparation of advertisement for newspapers of
direct mail, arrangement, instruction of sales people in
living extra employees if needed.
The first step in handling sales promotion plan is to
consider last years business for a particular month or
period that is the planned. What was the sales volume? What
special selling events were held? It is also good idea

The second step in handling sales promotions plan is
to consider a business to desire to secure during the
period. The third step is to arrange to have goods on hand
that people will probably need during the period that is

meeting and follow-ups.

Foreign Literature
Promotional activities such as advertising and
personal selling, are carried out by profit and not-for-
profit business. You will investigate how business combine
promotional activities into a promotional mix and how this
choice is vital to the success of a promotional campaign.
You will consider how promotional activities are
designed to alter customer attitudes, and you will
investigate how the cost of promotional activities affects
the final choice of promotional mix.
Service utilized the traditional methods of promotion,
including advertising, publicity, sales promotion and
personal selling. Because of the interactive and intangible
nature of services, there are some differences in how
promotion is carried out. Determining
message content for the promotion is more difficult in
services. Tangible clues of service quality are needed.
Customer expectations have to be determined and put into
word. Personal selling is by far the most commonly used
promotion for services. Everyone who has contact with the

customer sells the services and the organization.

13
TECHNOLOGY

Employees must be trained in customer relations to promote
the service while the service process is ongoing. (Russel,
2010)
An important part of service promotion takes place
after the sale and delivery of the service. Since many
service are dependent on repeat business, maintaining
relationship with existing customer services, rewarding
existing customers with special attention or promotions, and
quickly and effectively resolving problems are all part of
the after-sale marketing activities known as relationship
marketing. Relationship marketing has broader, strategic
implication for service organizations.
A major objective of marketing is to identify the needs
and wants in the marketplace, so that the organization may
design the service to fulfill these needs. This concern
extends to the design of the service process and the service
delivery system, which are within the domain of operations.
Ultimately, the service and the process that creates it
reflect how all the marketing mix elements are coordinated
to create value for the customer. (Render, 2008)

Insufficient attention to the service process leads to
poor service quality and dissatisfied customers. Services

TECHNOLOGY
14
are created and delivered as a result of one or more
processes. In a sense, process is the service but the
process itself is irrelevant to most customers. In most
services, however, the process that creates the services as
well as its outcome is very important to the customers,
especially when the customers are present during the
process.
Marketing and operation should share the
responsibility to ensure that service encounter is positive
one and that service quality is maintained. Thus, marketing
must be involved in designing the service process and is
often involved in, or responsible for, quality control in
services.
In marketing, sales promotion is one of the four
aspects of promotion (the other three parts of the
promotional mix are advertising, personal selling and
publicity or public relation). Sales promotions are non-
personal efforts that are designed to have an immediate
impact of sales. Sales promotion is media and non-media

15
marketing communications employed for a free pre-determined,
limited time to increase consumer demand, stimulate market

demand or improve product availability.
TECHNOLOGY
15
Bove (2007) stated that: in the promotional mix,
publicity and sales promotion as supportive and rarely are
the key element in firm strategy often, a firm must make a
tradeoff between emphasizing, advertising, or personal
selling.
Sales promotions are types of marketing promotions
that add value through short-term inducements to take
actions, make a product purchase, move product through a
distribution channel, and ultimately increase sales.
(Siegel, 2008)
There are three basic elements of a sales promotion:
the offering of a product, media for communicating the often
to the target audience, and the creative hook. A message,
publicity may be more effective than adverting. Trade
magazines, for example, may carry articles featuring the
news worthy products of regular advertiser-in part because
they are regular advertiser. The firms publicity people

16
write the basic copy and then try to convince magazines
editors to print it. Each year magazines print photo stories

about products and often the source of the information near
TECHNOLOGY
producers. A consumer might not pay any attention to ad but

carefully read long magazine story with the same
information.
16
The story on ads about a firms a new product usually
the result of considerable time, money and effort being
spent by an organizations public relations department.
Sales promotion includes such things such as trade shows,
catalog, contests, games, coupons, and specific offers.
(Stacey, 2006)
Likewise, sales promotions the provision of the
inducement to buy, presented at a time and place the
purchasing decision is made and which are supplementary to a
products normal in built-in worth in the mind of potential
customers. Personal salesmanship is the skill and sales
management is the organization of that skill, by which the
potential buyer is so convinced by another persons argument
and of persuasion that he decided to buy.

On one end, sales promotion is also known as direct
inducement. Meaning it accomplished certain specific

marketing objectives by motivating,
TECHNOLOGY
stimulating sales and
distribution to customers. (Luick 2009)

Local Studies
The real objective of the business firm is to make
profits, on a short-term and a long term bases. Experience
has proven, however, that this is possible only when the
17
customers patronize the firm. Long-term customer patronage
is preferred by the firm but it can only happen as a
consequence of customer satisfaction. However, the customer
will be satisfied only if the product or service he buys is
really the one he wants, at a price acceptable to him, at
the place where he wants to find it, and at the way he wants
to get it.
The marketing concept calls for identifying the needs,
of customers first before any move is made. It is wise to
know what is in the mind of the customers before starting
any production activity. When customers needs and wants are
identified, the company has a greater chance of achieving
its goals. (Medina 2008)

No one is immune from experiencing problems. Although,
some persons are not aware of the existence of problems,

some are people provide solution to their problems which, in
TECHNOLOGY
marketing terms, simply means satisfying needs. But before a

need is satisfied, it must first be identified.
An example is the advertisement trying to point out
the need for parents to be in constant accessibility with
their children. The product offered to satisfy the need was
the cell phone especially designed for children. The user
will help to simply push a single button to reach his
18
parents. The real need is the reduction or elimination of
parents, anxiety over the welfare of their children.
Why Sales are important: Sales are said to be the life-
blood of a business. Certainly, without sales-which means
orders a company could not continue in business very long.
The continuance primarily defense on the orders the sales
department gets. The only way by which a business can
sustain itself year in and year out is by making sales and
collecting money from these sales. Selling does not mean
merely taking orders, it means digging up possible users of
products or services and persuading them to buy.

(Garcia, 2010)
The very EULOGIO

importance of selling

is manifested during periods of depressed business
conditions;COLLEGE OFit
i.e, when HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
is difficult to get orders or to
find buyers of the product or service. When business drops
off due to a decline of sales, factories close, workers are
laid off, and this persists until business gets better,
meaning until the companys salesmen will find it easier to
get orders,
Some concerns take advantage of depression time to put
up new product or to improve the present product. Other
19
companies feverishly cut their prices in a frantic effort to
get business.
Foreign Studies
Selling direct to the public by a manufacturer, by
retail, involves giving the customer a wide enough choice in
a convenient location at a competitive price. Cutting out
the middlemen when you have manufactured in bulk should
result in higher margins. You will find however that
retailing calls for skills, overheads, credits management

and systems of stock control into the store, you have to
carry a wider range of goods than your own. (Holder, 2008)

Mackenie (2009) said TECHNOLOGY

that marketing goals in the past

mass media, interrupt
and repeat. Marketing now: create behavior change, create
conversation, and communicate. Spend the large majority of
your time trying to reach the most likely buyers instead of
the entire market. the smaller target, the bigger the bulls
eye.
Price is a dangerous and explosive marketing force. It
must be used with caution. The damage done by improper
pricing may completely destroy the effectiveness of the rest
of a well-conceive marketing strategy. As a marketing
20
weapon, pricing is the big gun. A number of pricing
strategies are available to the firm.
Price means something quite different to those on
different sides of a transaction. Price tells the
manufacturer how much profit he will make and it tells the
purchaser what the cost will be to him. (Ghosh, 2011).

The seller, regarding pricing as a controllable factor,
makes the offer and the buyer decides whether to accept it

or not. Modern markets generally
TECHNOLOGY
enjoy much freedom in
making pricing decisions. Only when pricing is not

controllable, can a marketer compete on a non- price basis.
