The product is known for its attractiveness with its chocolate filling and coating
together with some rice crisps that adds greater taste to the product. Our primary
strategy is to offer customers a variety of options in choosing which flavor they would
like to try. Costumers may choose from different sizes of puto may it be big or small,
with or without chocolate coating and rice crisps depending on their taste. Though all
of the products have the chocolate as it’s filling, customers may customize their order
if they will buy tons of puto by order. The business will initially be home-based and will
use social media as a platform to showcase the features and characteristics of the
product.
