EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Muramura is an on-line store that aims to bridge technology, retail, convenience, and cost-efficiency into a customer-friendly package. It is a subsidiary of Sense. Sense will handle the MLM system and Muramura will handle its direct selling part. Muramura was conceptualized by Sense but with selfless intentions at hand, leadership and operations are given to its active members and volunteers. Sense handles all financial matters, market forecasting, and analysis of basic business fundamentals. Our vision is to shape the landscape of Filipino consumership. This is made possible through provisions on selling, cost, retail, logistical support, and innovative business solutions. The influx of numerous on-line stores in the Philippines caused problems in differentiation because all of them possess the same problems. Most goods are overpriced, they offer lengthy delivery schedules, and the website itself is eye soaring in terms of navigation. This gives Muramura an upper hand advantage. In partnership with The Sense Shop and its business partners, a vast network of freelance entrepreneurs and independent business owners was created. The vast networks of free lance entrepreneurs was created will provide the best quality products at the most competitive prices. This results to a pertinent increase in terms of customer satisfaction and profitability. The result is cheaper prices on basic goods and services. The average price difference between items sold through Muramura with that of other on -line sites is between 9-15%. Comparing the grocery items sold via Muramura with that of traditional grocery stores gives a price difference between 8-12%. We are considerably cheaper. On average, a Filipino family spends around PhP 2,500 monthly to purchase their basic needs. This translates to a conservative savings of between PhP 200 Php 400 using the consumer benchmark in the Philippines. Muramura ventured into the on-line grocery market based on the intelligent analysis of the retail market condition in the Philippines. Malls and other businesses lose money on the disadvantage of leverage. The result of the study revealed that sari-sari stores in a typical Filipino community continue to proliferate, independent of the financial atmosphere on national scale. The reason for this economic mystery is attributed to Abraham Maslows Hierarchy of Needs - physiologic need as the most important of all. This indicates that even in the verge of very low financial capacity and incapable purchasing power, demand for basic needs is still high. This is a never ending cycle of supply and demand. This cycle will translate to sustainable profitability for Muramura and its shareholders. The initial target market in the first four quarters of operation is Bacolod City and the Province of Negros Occidental. All resources combined, and all economic factors considered, it is referred collectively as one of the richest areas of the country. 14 of the 20 richest clans came from Negros Occidental. With a population of more than 3,000,000, this has one of the biggest markets for retail. BPO constitute a bulk of Bacolods workforce. Diversified sectors combined make up its sub-urban and workforce. 25 million pesos worth of retail business are moved monthly. This reflects a net profit of PhP 500,000. This is forecasted to increase with the influx of improved commerce, trade, and tourism as a result of free trade by 2015. Internet penetration of mobile phone signals is at 97% - one of the highest in the country.
Combined with the innovative system of Muramura and The Sense Shop, the valuable market in Bacolod and Negros Occidental offers an astounding profitablity potential.
MARKET DESCRIPTION
The initial target market is Bacolod City and Negros Occidental. Below are the demographics of the metropolitan area and its surrounding cities and municipalities.
Bacolod City Population: 543,734 (17.45%) Total population: 3,115,664 Population Growth: 1.15% Average Income per Person: PhP 7,765 per month Average Expenditure per Person: PhP 6,550 per month Inflation Rate: 2.1% per annum Median Age: 22.8 years old Male to Female ratio: 105 is to 100 Average Household Size: 4.5 persons
The demographic topography of Bacolod City presents a well-educated workforce and capable manpower with enough purchasing power. It represents an above average income per capita, with high expenditure ratio of 84.35%. A significant por tion of the provinces population resides in urban areas, the biggest in Bacolod. The population is young and distributed well by gender. The first leg of market penetration will start in Bacolod City and will spread to Talisay City, Silay City, Bago City, and Murcia starting at Q4 of 2014. A large portion of Bacolod Citys population resides in the eastern part of city, away from its coastlines. This is also the most progressive which will serve as the market penetration epicentre. The most populous areas are:
Mansilingan at 8.3% Taculing at 7.2% Estefania at 6.9% Villamonte at 6.8% Tangub at 6.7%
Bacolod was ranked as the most liveable city in the Philippines for many consecutive years. This can be attributed to a well-balanced lifestyle, cleanliness, peaceful atmosphere, well-planned roads, street make-up, and highly educated work force. With the implementation of ASEAN free trade by 2015, it is expected that Bacolod will serve as a major focal economic point in South East Asia. Rise in BPO job opportunities and tourism are high contributors to the citys positive investment image. There are eight key areas of retail centres in the city as of 2014 that possess the largest share in the consumer market locally:
SM City Bacolod and Savemore Robinsons Place Bacolod Gaisano City and Lopues Puregold, Libra, Consuelo
Any establishment that offers the basic demands of consumers will always survive. This is the most interesting premise that resulted from our thorough market analysis. The reason behind on some establishments collapsing is attributed to capital and profit mismanagement. It is not directly correlated to reduced demand or poor sales conversion. In a country with high expenditure ratio, market profitability though innovation is always possible. Bacolod Citys market potential is evident in three key areas. First is the high rise of condominium inspired apartments along Lacson area. The local real estate market spreads toward other areas of the city that offers competitive pricing. On a positive economic note, it signifies that investors are seeing the potential of economic growth of the city in the years to follow. The second proof is the spread of 7-11 twenty four hour convenient stores in major consumer areas. This holds one of the largest franchise chains of the international store outside Metro Manila. Third is the establishment of a second airport in Himamaylan and Kabankalan with the opening of international flights from Bacolod to Singapore and Hong Kong. These are clear indications of improved market profitability. The presence of Muramura in the local retail market scene will provide customers with viable options that will stir a different aspect of consumer demand. The local retail market is comparable to a forest waiting to be explored. For a considerable amount of time, consumers only saw one solution provided by companies in the market. With this, consumers thought that it is the best available option for them. Muramura positioned itself as a solution provider. It is expected to address three common weaknesses of traditional retail and grocery. First is convenience. Consumers spend considerable amount of effort just to purchase bulks of grocery. Second is cost. Since retail stores operate in the traditional concept, they incur heavy overhead cost. The consumers will have to pay for it. Muramura limits its personnel and uses an innovative system of retail and delivery. Thus, consumers can avail of items in its lowest price point. Third is time. Long lines and almost an hours waste of time just to purchase a thousand peso worth of grocery plagues customers for the longest time; this has been an accepted as a norm because no one dared to provide an alternative logistical solution. With Muramura , consumers can save considerable amount of time and allocate it to more productive tasks. These three areas will greatly impact customer experience positively. It is expected that the innovations Muramura will bring in the market will create new trends in the consumer retail segment. This is an area that possesses a never ending cycle of supply and demand. This is historically proven by many companies that rose to fortune because of retail. Even in the darkest
period of economic situations, consumers still purchase. This cements the position of Muramura as a stable provider of retail driven by logistical improvement.
to exist overnight and earn, but to shape the landscape of consumership in the Philippines. This is possible through our mission of providing affordable, cost-efficient, and effort-saving measures of delivery of basic commodities.
The retail market in the Philippines generates over 4 billion pesos in profit. This is evidenced by the high expenditure ratio of Filipinos pegged at over 80%. This high ration of expenses to income points out one reality. Generally, a lot of Filipinos are afraid when they hear the word investment. Doubts and other uncertainties cloud their judgement to the point that even a 99 peso investment appears too big. We will be able to prove it through six months of conducting market analysis in the multi-level marketing business. In this regard, we have considered financial education as an essential part of efficient work distribution and profitability. Financial awareness attracts positive investors and creates independence to the rest of the investors. Our market penetration is forecasted to start on December 13, 2014. Earlier start date are being considered upon fulfilment of key market indicators. The first four quarters of operation is concentrated on the metropolitan areas surrounding Bacolod City. Below reflects the plan of market penetration for Greater Bacolod Metropolitan Area.

The conservative analysis is to promote brand awareness to 10% of the markets population. Having all factors considered, 10% is the conservative market reach, in anticipation of potential inflation and influx of cheaper commodities as a result of the ASEAN Free Trade in 2015. The liberal market target is at 50%. Our target market will encompass all walks of life at all living conditions.
Several key init iatives are laid down to maximize the companys profit. This is a result of the analysis conducted in the sales inventory, reflecting six months of data, encompassing more than 5,000 live transactions. The initiatives are new and at the same time creative. They address the basic consumer interests. These initiatives are expected to propel the sales target at hand. These are as follows: Sales of Muramura discount cards to provide high revenue & cheaper commodities Sales of all-in-one loading system as well as electronic load replenishment Sales of Guayax through its promotional offer of lifetime unlimited SMS Sales of cheaper gadgets, goods, services, and other products offered by Sense
