IV. Marketing Strategy
A. Target Market Strategy

Our business will cater to different customer or consumers. In particular Jolly Rice target markets are students and individual. Other target customer would be industrial sector, such as but not limited to hotels, restaurants, eateries, canteens, bars, and café. These establishments are known for food consumption.

B. Marketing Mix

1. Product
The proponents adopted “Jolly Rice” as the name of our product. Such name was selected because it is closely related to the main raw material of the product which is rice. Jolly rice is a two-in-one product because of the mixed rice and viand. Rice is the seed of the monocot plants Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice). As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world’s human population, especially in Asia and the West Indies. It is the grain with the second-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn), according to data for 2010. Since a large portion of maize crops are grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by the human species.

2. Place/ Distribution
The proposed project will cater to the whole city of Cabanatuan and the nearby municipalities of Nueva Ecija. The product will be manufactured and sold in our production site situated at Sumacab Este, Cabanatuan city. In addition, we will distribute the product to different school canteens, restaurants, food court and eateries in Nueva Ecija. The product will transported by the own delivery truck of the enterprise to the distribution areas within Cabanatuan and other parts of Nueva Ecija.

3. Promotion
A panaflex billboard will be installed in front of the production site for recognition. Moreover, the product is to be advertised through the following mediums: a. Advertising on television and am/fm radio stations

Using these medium of advertisement are very effective in promoting products but using television is much more expensive than advertising on radio stations. These mediums although expensive assure a manufacturing firm of quick response from the market. Since most of the people are watching TV and listening to the radio, it will be easy for us to promote our product. b. Poster and Print Advertisement

Poster and print ads promote awareness of the product although this kind of advertisement is less effective. Big-sized hard papers are used are printing materials and are better when colorful, artistic, and unique. c. Free Sample

This will be a good promotional strategy because giving sample of our product will help us familiarize it to the public. d. Local Newspapers
Through reading materials, our product will be known by the public.

4. Price
Introductory Price will be offered at P39.00 per pack based on the price study.
