1. Price penetration.
The oldest trick in the book is to drop the price of the service
thereby possible increasing the attractiveness of the service and
taking on the challenge of the competitor.
2. Increase promotions.
Another tactic for market penetration strategy is to increase the
promotions for the service and thereby increase the pull strategy for
these services. By giving trade discounts, sales promotion
discounts, and any such additional benefits to the customers along
with promotions will ensure that you penetrate the market better.
3. Increase reach.

service is the best market penetration strategy to sell better than
the competition. Using online application makes the services easy
to avail.
4. Increase usage.

consumption thereby penetrating the market even further.
5. Attract competition customers and dealers.
By dropping the price in a given area for the distributor or targeting
the existing dealers of competition products, you can increase your
market penetration by decreasing the availment of services offered by
competitor.
6. Non users to start the availing the services.
Encouraging non users to start to avail the services is a tough task
and this is where the marketing department steps in. Promoting the
services to social media sites and other types of promotions are
needed in this tactic.

This chapter in general provides information about the socio-
economic study of the business as well as its environmental impact. This

and the staff and how the economy will have its own advantages when it is
already open for business.
Socio-Economic
The proposed business, “The Butler Incorporated” will bring
satisfaction to customers, who are looking for a services without the
hassle of finding/contracting directly anyone who can give them the
services without security if it’s safe. The business will help the customers
or individuals to maximize their time for other work and serve comfort to
the customers.
Contribution to the Economy
The proposed business will benefit the economy through providing
employment to every individual especially within the resident covered by
the study. This will give the hired employees and their families their source
of income for their living needs. This business will support local workers. It
will also promote the business and also contribute to the competition
which will lower the price of the services but will maintain its quality.

mandated by the law. Tax will help the government generate funds for the
improvement of public service and government projects.
Contribution to the Society
“The Butler Incorporated” will keep this town marketable to attract
more investors that will help the community for its improvements and
modernization, which, in turn leads to money placed directly into the
community.
Environmental Impact
Any business with regards with the usage of cleaning chemicals
might add to the effect of what we are experiencing now, the “global
warming”. Since, the proposed business has to make sure that it will not
Using the net present value method, it can be concluded that the
project is profitable since it procured a positive result proving that the
company could attract more investors. Since the internal rate of return
exceeds the company’s required return it can be concluded that the
project is desirable hence, should be accepted. The project will take four
years to pay back and the company’s earnings potential is great. Based
solely on the payback period method, the project is a good investment.
The Profitability Index resulted to more than 1 therefore the investment will
earn back.
Generally, The Butler is seen to be feasible upon studying its
location, market demand and the factors affecting the market and
projected financial statements. It is recommended that an extensive study
for other aspects of the business feasibility is conducted and the execution
of the marketing program developed accords to what really satisfies the
market.
