Business Objective

Since Polvoron is one of the popular food during our childhood days, We have

come up to an idea of bringing it back to the modern day so that the new generation of

kids will also experience this type of food. Nakama Special Polvoron creates sweets in

lined with our tag line, “Overcoming bitterness through baked sweetness.” Our small

business aims to bring joy to every customer. We make small treats that give customers

the satisfaction they want.

Andrew Almayda, Gary Bondal, Daffney Caldino and Jeric Manilag who are currently a

3rd year Student in San Jose Community College taking up Bachelor of Science and

Process

The first thing we do is we put the flour into the hot pan and wait until it turns

brown

Second, Once the flour turns brown, we then add the butter and mix it until it

melts.
 Once the mixture is done, we then now add the peanut butter, sugar and milk

powder at the same time and mix again.

After mixing all the ingredients, we can now add some food flavoring like ube,

chocolate and peanut then mixed again until its cooked.

individually with cellophane and put it back in the fridge.

room or while doing some studies.

stress reliever

Fathers, Mothers and kids- Our product is perfect for family gatherings, picnics or

just having some quality time together.

Online Buyers- Since our Business mainly utilizes Facebook, our product is now

available online and can enjoy whenever they want.

Strengths

People love our Special Polvoron because of the additional ingredients that we

mixed that gives a twist to the original taste of the polvoron. Our polvorons can be kept

inside the refrigerator for one week when you don’t want to eat it yet. But then, you will

see and find out that there would be no differences that will occur during that time. Our

polvoron will taste as it is because of the quality and the process on how we made

them. You can also give our polvorons to your love ones and can be shared by 2-5

person in just 1 plastic jar.

We named our product as Nakama Special Polvoron because every bite of it will

surely taste good as the name itself. Also, our product will never disappoint you. We are

consistent until the end.

Our product has also a fantastic marketing strategy. We make sure that we can

sell our product with those people who ordered our product. We also made some

advertisements to purchase our product to the others.

Weaknesses

The weakness of our business is the target market. We have limitations in our

target market. Our product is note yet available for any delivery transactions. One of the

great factor that prevents us from growing our business because we lose some potential

costumers. But because we love what we are doing we still manage to come right in

time when we are having meet-ups with different costumers.

There are opportunities for other consumer outside the San Jose Community

College we can sell and expand our product after we have completed and finished the

project because many of the orders in our Facebook page is from the outsiders so as a

group, we decided to take that opportunity to gain income. We are not just working but

we are also having fun.

Other opportunities are that we can change and add more flavors to our product

for it to become more popular. Our consumer may also have the chance to pick

whatever flavors they are craving for. If our business might be successful in the future,

we might add some more items to sell for the consumer to be satisfied.

Threats

The Threats in our product is the competition between other small businesses

such as the Sweet Kamote Doughnuts, Mixed Veggie chips and Cheesy mushed potato

pizza which are the businesses of our other classmates. All of which are also easy to

sell. (We think of ideas to create and make products which are scrumptious to

everyone. We created a kind of polvoron which cannot be forgotten by anyone even

with those famous competitors.

Not all of us have a sweet- tooth so it is hard for us to convince other consumer

to buy our product. But then because of our good strategy they will still end up buying

our product.
