EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IT IS A BUSINESS THAT FOCUSES ON THE HIGHER PURPOSE WHILE REALIZING A GOOD RETURN OF INVESTMENT .
A
lthough universities have their own university dormitories for their students and administration,
the number of students and faculty and staff far exceed the maximum number of occupants that university
dormitories can accommodate. Since the primary pursuit of the universities are academic,
dormitories are just consequential and giving opportunities to neighboring properties to the business of
housing students. Outside the university dormitories, students either rent rooms in private homes or
boarding houses near the university. The academic pursuit of the students will be further reinforced if
the students interact with those of the same academic pursuit even outside the school.
In Philippine setting, a university degree is seen as the parents’ primary goal for their children. A
diploma is a symbol to signify the end of a parent’s obligation to their child. Indeed, a college diploma
represents all the sacrifices, the dreams fulfilled, and the aspirations of a better future for their children
than what the parents had. This dream is threatened by the reality of all the obstacle that a family
faces. A child living away from the guidance and protection of a parent is vulnerable to distractions.
These data shows that there is a huge market in the student housing business. Strategically
located walking distance from the universities, the dormitory business will thrive for as long as
there are students enrolling in the universities and the numbers are increasing annually.
FIRST PROJECT
For our first dormitory project in Baguio City, Philippines, it will be located in New Lucban, within
walking distance to the biggest university in North of Luzon- St. Louis University Main Campus which
comprises of eight colleges with more than 30,000 enrollees in the school year 2016-2017. Public

MARKET ANALYSIS
F
or our Baguio Project, most of our clients are college undergraduate students
from St. Louis University Main Campus. These undergraduate students are ages
18- 25 years old. Generally from the Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and Metro
Manila, and other regions in Luzon, they come to Baguio city for their university
studies because St. Louis University is the top university in Nothern Luzon,
ranking 19 in the Philippines. Other clients will be undergraduate students from
University of Baguio and University of Cordilleras, both are also considered as
one of the largest university in Baguio, next to St. Louis University.
A recent survey conducted by Business Management majors in St. Louis University has
produced the following results:

Other services that the student respondents need when choosing a dormitory are internet as
the most essential, followed by a convenience store, laundry facilities, canteen, then
computer services. The potential for income coming from ancillary services is also profitable.
MARKETING STRATEGY
We will utilize the power and influence of SOCIAL MEDIA as a platform to introduce and
promote our project. Since our target market is online every day, we will rely heavily on
ONLINE MARKETING . We will create a dedicated WEBSITE, use PAY PER CLICK ADVERTISEMENTS,
make social media accounts like FACEBOOK and boost it online to reach more people.
Also, we will venture on VIDEO MARKETING to deliver the right message to the right market
and attract the right kind of customers. We will use YOUTUBE also since it is the second
most visited site. Aside from these, we will also give out FLYERS in the universities during
enrollment. We also have a competitive AGENT’S REFERRAL PROGRAM ongoing all year
round. Our competitive commission for every closed contract is still effective and
attractive to agents. Agents fill in the gaps of our own marketing efforts and therefore
help in achieving a high occupancy rating.
