Market Segmentation
Age
–:6-16 years old in average, currently enrolled in high school and elementary.
Also 26 teachers will be the part of the market.
Gender – our store is open for
both gender. We offer sweets for girls and boys but according to a source, It may be that the female hormone estradiol promotes this craving for sweets," Eckel says. Studies of human
cravings have shown increased yearning for chocolate during the menstrual cycle. While
another source concluded that boys testosterone levels were measured from saliva samples and
they were presented with a plate of mashed potatoes and invited to add chili
sauce to taste.
Those who
added the most hot sauce had the highest testosterone.The hormone drives men to
seek thrills and new sensations, leading them to frequent "more
stimulating social groups and take more risks," according to Professor
Begue."In this case, it applies to risk-taking in taste," he said.
"It is also possible that the regular consumption of spicy food
contributes to increasing testosterone levels, although so far this has only
been demonstrated on rodents. This study brings us to offer Dynamite (green
chilli wrapped in lumpia wrappers) to our market. These products are not
provided due to gender matters but only to prove that our research from these
products will helps us to sell easily to
our market.

appetizing food but also healthy and affordable ones. According to the survey
we had conducted, almost 62% of MCA students like cheese flavored pancakes and
hotdogs. This concludes us to serve pandogs (pancake with hotdogs). Containing
100 calories each hotdog and 149 calories from 3 width pancakes, this is
appropriate for our market, helping them to be active and produce energy while
they are studying or playing. Dynamite is made up from lumpia wrapper and green
chili which provides very low
Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary
Fiber, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and
a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Potassium,
Copper and Manganese. While shake contains milk that has calcium. And according
to survey, almost 1/8 percentage of MCA students do not drink milk , this will
help them to drink milk without anticipation or seeing that they are drinking a
milk-containing shake.150 calories from 240 ml gulaman can be
benefited from this product that ables them to have extra energy and fat. Last but not the least is our product: pizza.
Hawaiian pizza would be the flavor of pizza for many MCA’ians chose to put a
check on this flavor from our survey forms. These products will bring company
recognition for offering good, delicious, affordable, and nutritious products.
Also this will serve as a food energy booster for our market.
