Marketing Plan Feasibility Example

A.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Hilot is traditionally offered on barrios or provinces and spas commonly

offer massage therapy only, we decided to offer a service that will give both.
H E A LO T Tr a d i t i o n a l
is a facility which will offer not only
Hilot itself but also massage therapy as well. Hilot is a traditional art of healing,
thus we combine the words heal and hilot to come up with HEALOT which
is the name of our company.
The Philippine Hilot massage therapy is an art of treatment using bare

hands and herbs. On the other hand, Massage therapy is manual manipulation of
soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance
a persons health and well-being. Having combined these two, we would be able
to give the satisfaction of relaxation and improve ones health as well. This
gives us an edge over competitors who only offer massage therapies.
The companys business will be located at the ground floor of Eurovilla 4

853 A. Arnaiz Avenue, Makati City.
Aside from various types of Hilot, massage therapies and equipment that
the company will provide, we will also offer our clients decaffeinated drinks
such as teas or warm milk which would be very helpful after the session.

Marketing Plan
Page 13
During a good massage, the muscles are stimulated, blood is circulated

throughout the whole body, and water, salt and other minerals are released.
Having a glass of water or decaffeinated tea, helps your body dispose of any
accumulated materials in the muscles. By
providing the body with plenty of water, you can
help sweep away those pesky waste materials.
We
recommend
drinking
hot
or
warm
beverages over cold ones. After the Hilot, your

body has been exposed to heat and the last thing you want to do is exposed
yourself immediately to cold temperature, our body systems will shock, our
skin pores will be trapped by the cold due to exposure to warmth, so give it
time to adjust.

Green tea is the least processed and thus provides the most antioxidant
polyphenols, notably a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG),

311.
312.
PORTERS
Five Forces
313.
Threat
of
New Entry
The barriers of new entry is low, thus the threat of new entrant is high
Low capital requirements means many businesses can compete and enter
the industry
Well-established spas increases customer loyalty making it difficult for
new comers to gain market share
314.
315.

321.
Competitive Rivalry
Degree
of

and threats of new entrants is high, therefore, there will be many current
and potential competitors
Competitive rivalry among direct competitors is low since massage

facilities offering variation of
Hilot therapy are not popular in the
market. On the other hand, it is high among indirect competitors since

there are a lot of spas that offer other form of massage therapies and they
already established customers loyalty.
322.
323. Objectives and Issues
324.
