born but then we, as a human thought of a way to counter these problems but another
problem comes up. Just like in the education sector, the education thought of a way to counter
the problem of lack of learning within the time of pandemic, then “online class” is born to
suffice and provide their primary role, to educate but then in the Philippines online classes

INDUSTRY AND MARKETPLACE ANALYSIS

Students nowadays are in the new era of mode of learning as a result to the pandemic
that we are encountering right now, and with this new mode of learning or the so-called
online class, there is a need of a strong, stable, and high-quality internet connection, since it is
the key to learn more and a doorway to enter the virtual world of education without this the
performance of students are affected.

The students that are really affected in this mode of learning are those who are in the
remote areas or barangays that are far from the población proper and those places that really
have a bad connectivity. And one of those places is Sta. Ana, Echague, Isabela, as a response
we introduce the AGAPE an internet education café to aid and help those affected students in
their education. We will focus to help these students. Our market will be these students and
other interested individuals, since the need of connectivity is their demand, and this will be a
great help for them. I think that there is no need of more information about our market
because we already did a survey to assess if they will be interested in our product.

Industry. Students nowadays are in the new era of mode of learning as a result to the

since it is the key to learn more and a doorway to enter the virtual world of education without
this the performance of students are affected.

Market Analysis. We will focus to help these students. Our market will be these students
and other interested individuals, since the need of connectivity is their demand, and this will
be a great help for them. I think that there is no need of more information about our market
because we already did a survey to assess if they will be interested in our product.

Customer Analysis. Our target market is the elementary, secondary, and college students
that are engaged to online classes and those interested individuals to be part of the AGAPE
group. To reach our target market, we will advertise our internet education café through
social media and face-to-face advertisement. The availing decision depends on the quality or
on how the product can really help student – customers need.

Competitor Analysis. There is another internet café’s, but there is none in our place, that’s
why the competing factor is at low rate. Otherwise, if there are those that are to copy the
product we offer, by that time we already established the trust on our student – customer. And
we may offer loyalty programs to be our advantage and counter our competitors.

MARKETING PLAN

The market needs provider of high-quality connectivity that could be in their

advantage as a student. The difference between our product and competitor’s product is that
our internet providers are the big companies that are really into providing quality internet
connectivity and are trusted by other customers among others. The unique features of
AGAPE are its freebies for the student – customers, that is contributing to their advantage as
our customer and as a student. Also, AGAPE offers free tutoring on the subjects that students
are taking a hard time dealing with.

The problems that we are solving for our student – customer is their difficulties in
maintaining their internet connection which results to poor performance inside their class. We
want to solve the internet connectivity problem and provide a better experience for them, to
boos their confidence and enhance their productivity. The strength of AGAPE is we are
partnered with trusted internet providers, and we are using high technological equipment for
the better experience of the student – customers. For us, the only weakness of our product is
it is not well known yet compared to other internet café in the market.

Product/Service Description

Our product is providing quality and stable internet connectivity and high
technological and new computers and gadgets. The AGAPE room will be able to cater 20
students at the same time, aside from that that one tutor will be able to handle three-five
tutees at a time depending on the subject demand of the student – customers.

While students are engaging themselves on the different products and offers of
AGAPE they are eligible of free coffee but there is a small policy about that; “Timpla mo,
kape mo.”, that is to train them to be independent on other matters unless they are really
taking a hard time adapting to a given context. The product will be produced in partnership to
trusted internet provider and with the help of the professional tutors.

9
A milestone that we want to achieve is to be a leading internet café offering unique
qualities that are not available yet to the market and AGAPE will be known to be a quality
provider of internet connectivity.

Sales Strategy

We planned to advertise through social media and create an online website to promote
our product and services offered. We will also do sale activities during the anniversary of
AGAPE or to celebrate the birthday of the proprietor. Through social media we will be able
to advertise our product and service and will also make unique advertisement/promotion to
attract more market aside from what we have at hand.

Since, AGAPE group will be composed of different professionals then different ways
will be produced to achieve our goal, we will do it together and we will be resourceful in
winning our target market or customers to increase our sales and to be known to other places.
We will also do weekly posters and post pictures to advertise more.

Distribution Channel

AGAPE will only have one channel; direct sales.

 Direct Sale. Since our product demands an actual participation of our student –
customers Direct Sales is only applicable to experience and to be engaged with our
product.

10
OPERATIONS PLAN

The critical operations to the success of AGAPE is the failure of internet provider to
do their task because even if we will choose the best and trusted among other internet
provider in the Philippines and local providers, we cannot assure that every day and every
time is a good time, since they also need maintenance in order to provide better product, and
when they are updating or upgrading their product, we the users will be affected. Another
critical operation would be power interruption, though it may be solved by using generators
the satisfaction of the student – customer would be degraded if we experienced power
interruption while they are using our product. And the last one will be the failure of
technological equipment but then the Computer Technician is always present so that would
be less likely to be a big problem to the operation.

The product and services of AGAPE will be delivered in partnership to the best
internet providers and professionals that are into teaching and in technology.
