Thus, It will be limited only to the output that the respondents from the selected areas in Tagaytay City will provide such as data and information that will come from the interview questionnaires distributed, as well as the information from literatures that will be cited and reviewed.

Survey Questionnaire

The proponents started the research by the month of July 2010. It started with generation of ideas which might be the subject of the research until the proponents have decided to choose Activated Charcoal Capsule. Since the proponents wants to determine the marketability of Activated Charcoal Capsule in Tagaytay, City, they had prepared questionnaire design for the survey. Just by making questionnaire which will uncover the needed information for the research, it takes a long for the proponents in revising and editing the questionnaire.

After making sure that the questionnaires are ready, the proponents immediately started the survey in different barangays of Tagaytay City. It takes a month in doing the survey since the proponents are only available every week ends as they have classes during week days. After completing the survey, the proponents started processing the data which was gathered and analyzed how these information will be useful for the research. The proponents finished the research proposal on October 3, 2010.

On the basis of foregoing concepts, theories, and findings of related literature, studies presented, and information gathered from the respondents, a conceptual model is developed as shown:

The existence of Charcoal as medicine had started in 400 B.C. as Hippocrates and other Egyptians used Charcoals in curing Anthrax, Epilepsy and other serious illnesses. These charcoals were also used as healing agents in curing wounds, cleansing agents of different internal organs such as liver, kidney and the colons as well. After the development of the charcoal activation process, it was also used and proven as antidote for poisons and cure for intestinal disorders.

Dr. Frolkis pointed out that;◦ Activated Charcoal decreases the age related

increase in the brain sensitivity to drugs and toxins;◦ Activated Charcoal normalizes and regulates

cholesterol and lipid metabolism;◦ Activated Charcoal alleviates allergy, headaches,

menstrual pain, diarrhea, sore throat irritation, cold sores, flu-like symptoms and drug overdose; and

◦ The regular use of Activated Charcoal improves the adaptive functioning of essential organs (liver, kidney and adrenals) that translate into better defense mechanism.• The most important work of Activated Charcoal in the

treatment of diseases is to adsorb chemical substances that are harmful to the body like germs, viruses, toxins, wound secretion and other products of infection.

The existence of Activated Charcoal in the market as pain reliever/antidote was made available after series of studies. In the Philippines, there are several forms of charcoals/carbons used as medicine such as: capsules, tablets, drinks and poultice. Among these, the capsule has been the most common in the market as other manufacturers/brands prefer this form.

◦The proponents have collected information regarding the common attributes of the potential customers. This information will be used to determine the specific needs of the customers and the best method for communication with the targeted segments.

◦There is no immediate geographic target for Activated Charcoal Capsule in Tagaytay. The only constraint of the result of the survey is the willingness to buy or at least to try the product. It constitutes 44% of the respondent and the latter is 45.5% which in reality is a good compliment for the research.

◦The total targeted population is 61,623.

Demographics◦Both male and female.◦94% of the respondent has

experienced illness in the past 6 months.

Behavior Factors◦The respondents are very cognizant

of their health.

“The main problem of the research is defining Marketability of Activated Charcoal Capsule to target market in the selected area of Tagaytay City, Cavite.” In line with this, the proponents also found out the problem with the lack of awareness by the target market for the product.

The purpose of this research is to determine the marketability of the Activated Charcoal Capsule. Specifically, we intend to identify the factors that may affect consumer’s behavior regarding product preferences.

Importance and Benefits of the Research Objectives

High levels of user satisfaction translate into positive word of mouth product endorsements. These endorsements influence the purchase outcomes for (1) friend and relatives and (2) business associates.

Critical incidents, such as product failures, have potential to either undermine existing satisfaction levels or preserve and even increase the resulting levels of product satisfaction and also the marketability of the product.

This research aims to determine the marketability of the activated charcoal capsule, identify its effect to human body and measuring the customers’ awareness towards it and measuring the customer satisfaction.

Descriptive research is a type of conclusive research which has its major objective is the description of something, usually the market characteristics or functions.◦ The proponents use descriptive research design because of the

following reasons: To describe the characteristics of important group such as

consumers or market areas. To estimate the percentage of units in a specific population

exhibiting a certain behavior. To determine the sample size’ perception of product’s

characteristics. To determine the degree to which marketing variables are

associated. To make specific predictions.

Exploratory Research is a type of research which is flexible and versatile. It rarely involves structured questionnaires, large samples and probability sampling frames. The proponents must be alert to new ideas and insights as they proceed with the research. Hence, shifting constantly to the newly discovered ideas is a must.

We will augment our knowledge of activated charcoal capsule by studying different references that discusses information about the product and its benefits. We prepared a structured type of questionnaire for the conveniences of the respondents to come up with the much organize answer.

In view of the conclusions drawn, it is recommended that the proponents should pursue the idea of launching the Activated

Charcoal Capsule in Tagaytay City.

In product launching, the proponents suggest that the launching should come with different strategies that will help the product survive the stiff competition in the industry such as Market Development Strategy, Full Market Coverage Strategy and Market Penetration Strategy. Market Development Strategy is the selling or offering of the company’s product to the market. In Market Development, the company will focus their market coverage in Tagaytay City as what has been planned from the very beginning of this research. As the proponents have found out in the research, there is really a liking for the product in Tagaytay City.

The Full Market Coverage strategy allows a certain business to serve all types of possible market. This strategy can be done through either mass-market strategy or differentiated strategy. In the application of this strategy, the business will not focus only in one segment of the market but to all possible potential market in terms of age, income and others. Instead of satisfying the needs of one particular segment of the market, the business must prepare a promotional mix that will fit to all types of potential market which is composed of the residence of Tagaytay City, Cavite.

Market Penetration Strategy is where the company tries to sell more of its present product to its present market. Supporting Tactics will include greater spending on advertising and promotion of the product or might as well personal selling. Through market penetration, the business will offer its product to its market. To penetrate the market, the company will improve more on advertising and promotional activities such as print ads and a good public relation.
