Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
BAHULU‟S HOUSE is a company which focuses on food production in Malaysia. Bahulu is
one of malay traditional cake and mostly popular in PantaiTimur. Differences in size and
shape make this cake looks interesting and suitable to serve for any occasion. The light
and dry texture gives an opportunity to this cake to be one of marketable product as people
love simple things especially food.Moreover, the simple steps and ingredients give a lot of
benefits to our company and we are highly confident that our market can be easily
developed and spread in Malaysia.
To make it more attractive and interesting, we decided to make some innovation by
implying our creativity and modern element in this bahulu making. Nowadays, color is one
of the important thing in any products making so colorfulbahulu with flavor might be a new
attraction to people. We have done some research that Malaysia is one of developed
country and it quite busy during day time. Normally people who work during office hour and
students do not have much time for breakfast. So, with our new innovation, they can just
grab a packet of bahulu with different fillingsand go to work. Easy and simple as that.
With loan given as a support from Bank Islam we are hoping and wishing to make
BAHULU‟S HOUSE able to achieve outstanding demand from consumer. Our business is
expected to commence on 2013 and our vision is to make our company a well-known,
established and satisfied by our customer in order to expand our bahulu to attract other
bakeries company to deal with us with a better price. This will be realized by the full
cooperation and efforts among the partners to promote company.
11. Based on the objectives above, we are venturing into food industry. Bahulu production has
the potential of being a profitable business if it is done in modern way with large scale and
systematically managed.
We will expect that our business will become more developed in the near future because
with the new innovation in our bahulu, the demand will increase not only during any
occasion but it might be a new daily snack. This will give more advantages for us to make
our product more profitable and stable in the long run.

as a vital task where it compresses all the elements to make sure the effectiveness in terms of
performing organization activities. Our company, Bahulu‟s House Enterprise, which will focus in
distribution and selling of fruit pickles, see that Malaysian demand on fruit pickles are
dramatically increases day by day. By looking this as business opportunity, we chose to create

45. 3.0. INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
Marketing can be defined as a “satisfying needs and wants through an exchange process”. In
addition, marketing also can be defined as the process of planning and executing the
conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchange
that satisfy individual and organization objectives. One famous marketing expert called
marketing as the creation and delivers of standards of livings. Of course, marketing is one most
important part in running up a business. Without a suitable marketing plan, business may never
achieve its goals and resources such as money, energy and time can be wasted.
Marketing is a key part of business success and we must use marketing plan as a basis
for executing marketing strategy. A marketing plan sets out to clear objectives and lists the
actions that can help us to achieve our target. From the definition of marketing itself, it will not
guarantee sales, but a well-researched and coherent marketing plan will give entrepreneurs a
much better chance of building long-term, profitable relationships in the business. So the task of
marketing department of Bahulu‟s House Enterprise is to fulfil our customers needed, try to
solve the problems effectively if it occurred in our services. At the same time we want to achieve
the targeted profits. A lack of understanding of the marketing concept can result in poorly
developed product that fails to meet the customer‟s needs and wants. This can hamper
marketing efforts and affect sales performance, overall business expansion and progress.
Service differentiation provides our business a longer lasting competitive advantage. The
durability of the strategy tends to make it more attractive.
The basic idea of marketing is basically an exchange activity that takes place between a
business entity and its customer. These customers include individual, business entity, and also
the support organizations. Marketing is a crucial and critical aspect in business and always
referred as the backbone to any business in achieving a profitable outcome.
In our business, we are introducing new product which has never been produced before
and that is thebahulu in selected flavours. Statistically showed that the bahulu is one of the
Malaysian favourite dishes, and we only take the advantage of that by innovatively introducing
different fillings for the bahulu like for example, pineapple jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam,
chocolate and original flavour. Also colour according to flavour with additional chocolate chips in
the bahulu. Most Malaysian love trying new food or cakes, and our bahulu’s is definitely worth
trying. Once tried, people will definitely have the urge to try other flavours provided as each and
every flavours that we offered, has its own unique taste. In addition, our product also is the new
modification as the usual bahulu is only with original flavour and ours has different filling inside
46. and various flavour according to colour with additional chocolate chips. Vast choices of flavours
will contribute to a larger crowd of people because every person has different favourite flavour.
Therefore, introducing the product will not be a problem as bahulu is not a new dish to the
people.

flavours.

47. 3.1.2. MARKET ANALYSIS
Market analysis is one of the main factors in marketing. It is a study designed to define a
company‟s markets, forecast their directions, and how to expand the company‟s share and
exploit any new trends. Things that include in market analysis are for example, target market,

3.2. TARGET MARKET
To ensure that marketing effort fulfil customers‟ needs and wants as well as bring profits, we
have taken steps to identify and focus our effort on a selected group of customers. This is to
ensure that the marketing efforts taken are within our scope and capabilities of our business.
Target market is defined as the group of customers with needs and wants that can be satisfied
by business through supply goods and services. With a clearly defined target audience, it is
much easier to determine where and how to market our company.
After much discussions and planning, we have a specific target market. That being said,
it doesn‟t mean we only focus on this group of people and ignore others that are not in our
target market, as the other group is our secondary market and could also bring income to our
business.
We have segmented our market based on these three factors, which are geographic,
demographic, and psychographic. Market segmentation is the technique that we apply in order
to identify our market which greatly helps in deciding our target market, finally our business in a
long run. It involves the process of defining and subdividing a large homogenousmarket into
clearly identifiable segments having similar needs, wants, or demandcharacteristics. Its
objective is to design a marketing mix that precisely matches the expectations of customers in
the targeted segment. This is because, mistakes in market segmenting may cause business to
lose sales.
48. •
Demographic Segmentation
Demographic segmentation consists of dividing the market into groups based on variables such
as age, gender, income, occupations, and health conditions. Our company is located at the
town where the people or customers came from different background or lifestyle. This type of
segmentation helps us to identify the trend that might shape future spending patterns in the
target market. There are a few characteristics of population that has been identified as our
target market. They have different background of education, income, social class and
occupation. This is because the Bangsar area is considered as a big town. The people are from
all level of incomes.
•
Psychographic Segmentation
Psychographic segmentation divides the market into groups according to customer‟s lifestyle.
Activities, interests, and opinions (AIO) surveys are one tool for measuring lifestyle. It considers
a number of potential influences on buying behavior, including the attitudes, expectations and
activities of consumers. From our research, we identified that our target market is people that
come from all level of incomes from both genders. As we know, we are competing with other
companies and shops in producing bahulu. So, our services are different from others. These
differences can attract customers to come to our company, besides the fact that our product is a
very new and unique product. Because of this reason, we have decided to use only the best
qualities of bahulu and other raw materials. Plus, we also provide the best services at
reasonable prices. All these are important to ensure that our customers are satisfy with our
services.
•
Behavioural Segmentation
Behavioral segmentation use the unique relationship you have with your customers to have a
very personal conversation. In this segmentation, our target market are those who want to held
any type of events such as wedding or occasional events like Hari Raya and Chinese New
Year. The demand for bahuluduring these occasional events normally will increase. During
weekend or school holidays, there are many wedding events being held and this gives us
opportunity to sell our product. Our service includes goodie bags that contain many types of
bahulu. Besides that, at least one day in a week our target would make other types of events
such as birthday party and sometimes once in a year would make annual party. So, there will be
an increase in demand for bahulu with variety of flavors.

52. 3.4 COMPETITION
Basically, competitors often defined as other firms or independent entities that offer similar
services or goods in the marketplace. Knowing the competitors and what they are offering is
very significant in setting up a new business. It will trigger us enhance our products, services
and marketing. Other than that, it will allow us to set our prices competitively and help us to
respond to rival marketing campaigns with our own initiatives and efforts. Currently there are a
lot of bahulu shops existed in the surrounding marketplace which means a lot of rivals existed.
In business, a company in the same industry or a similar industry which offers a similar product
or service is assumed to be the competitor. As an entrepreneur, competition is positive way for
our company to improve the business that will help us to stay on focus of our business. We can
also identify the strengths and weaknesses of our services. The presence of one or more
competitors can reduce the prices of goods and services as the companies attempt to gain a
larger market share as it tries to attract more customers. Competition also requires companies
to become more efficient in order to reduce costs and other expenditures. The competition
analysis is important because it helps us to understand more on the competition and thus help
us to prepare a blueprint for a strategic business plan.
Based on our research, we knew that every competitor has their own strengths and
weaknesses. So, we have engraved more in order to move a step ahead in order to compete
with both new entrants to our market and current competitors. Therefore, we will create
marketing strategies that take advantages of our competitors' weaknesses, and improve our
own business performance. Assessing the threats posed by the competitors is important in
order to manage our business successfully. Below are the lists of our current potential

packaging cakes for wedding ceremony which is usually make as a gift to the guest
when there has any request. This can be called as a one package instead of us
supplies the bahulu.
Packaging
Protection
The primary function of packaging is to protect the product during the process
of transportation, storage, display and sales until the product is ready for use.
Since our products is going to be supply to certain supermarket, occasional
events, wedding ceremony and party, protection is one of the important thing
to handle our product. So we choose transparent plastics as our packager. In
addition, it is easiest way for the customer to see and satisfy when they
wanted to buy our products.
Product differentiation
As we know in market, each product has their own identities and specialties
to attract customers. Include of their packaging and tasting. Same goes with
our product. Since our product is bahulu, we know that all customers from
other races in Malaysia can eat and accept our products because it is a
63. typical cake but what we concerned is the quality of our products. Good
packaging has the power to create instant recognition of the product. For the
packaging, we have our own sticker that contain our company details such as
address, contact number, e-mail, logo and halal certificate.
Attractive to customer
The packaging of the product may be the sellers‟ final chance to influence
customers. The main packaging we used a high quality plastic (Low Density
Polyethylene). It is to make sure the quality of the products are in good
condition and can be stored for a long period of time and can prevent bahulu
from get eaten by insects. We also used plastic container with lids and
disposable food container to maintain the quality of bahulu. Besides, for the
request from customer for gifts or special occasions, we used colorful and
variety design of paper bags or goodie bags for the packaging. This is our
strategy to attract customers‟ attention.
Labelling
Labelling performs several functions such as identifying, grading, describing or even
promoting the product. Label is one of the important thing that consumer have to take
attention. Eventually, our product is classified as a food, so we must put the expiring
date as guidance to consumer from eating a damage food that would be a food
poisoning to consumer. In addition, we also put all the ingredients and content label
at the package to ensure customers about the healthiest of our product which not be
made from artificial ingredients. It is safe for the children to eat our products. The
more important thing is the „halal‟ logo that certificate from JAKIM which is can
convince the consumer especially Muslim to purchase our products. This is to ensure
all the ingredients that we are used is from food standardization and not made from
non-halal ingredients that could be make sensitivity of Muslim consumer.
After sale services
Since our products is bahulu, the market sale is consistent because its food and
usually ate by all customer from any races and ages. Our bahulu can serve as
64. alternative food for tea time, supper and especially for people that do not have
enough time for breakfast. This shows that our product is useful during urgent time
and they need on-the-spot breakfast. Based on our market sale, usually demand is
higher when it comes to occasional day such as „Hari Raya’. For Muslim who is busy
they often make a last minute preparation. So, they only buy instant food such as
bahulu. Therefore, we provide many flavors to make varieties for customers.
2. Price strategy
The definite meaning of the price of a product or service is the amount of money
charged to the customer for a particular purchase. Our financial objectives when
talking about price will be coined on how much money we intend to make from a
product, how much we can sell, and what market share will get in relation to
competitors. Objectives such as these and how a business generates profit in
comparison to the cost of production need to be taken into account when selecting
the right pricing strategy. There are several pricing strategies, namely, cost based
pricing, value based pricing, and competition based pricing. Each one of these has
their own pros and cons based on the product or service offered itself. For our
company, we have decided to imply the cost based pricing strategy.
Cost-based Pricing
Cost based pricing is the simplest and most commonly used pricing strategy. Costbased pricing is based on the total cost of the product or service plus a standard
mark-up. This involves setting a price by adding a fixed amount or percentage to the
cost of making or buying the product. In some ways this is quite an old-fashioned
and somewhat discredited pricing strategy, but like being stated above, it is still
widely used. This is also one the factor why we chose this pricing strategy for our
product, the most simplest but reliable and popular used even by big companies
worldwide.
The mark-up is the profit margin that is desired from the sale of the product.
The decision on the percentage mark-up is made based on certain factors. Firstly, we
have to know the average profit margin in the industry for our product. For example,
for our product which is a food product, the margin for food business is not less than
35% of the selling price. Secondly, we have to take into account the number and
strength of competitors in the same area or same industry. For example, for our
company, since we are competing with only two other competitors, even our
company is a new company or the newcomer in the area, we may not have to reduce
our price. Thus, how high should the mark-up of our product percentage be? That
65. largely depends on the normal competitive practice in a market and also whether the
resulting price is acceptable to customers.
An example of cost-based pricing, where a business wishes to ensure that it makes
an additional profit on top of the unit cost of production is illustrated below:
Unit cost
RM100
Mark-up
50%
Selling price
RM150
Cost-based pricing is often used as a guide in pricing. The offering price is
vice versa, may be lower or higher. This is also the result of other factors such as
customers willingness to pay for the product or service, pressures other competitors,
and the supply and demand factor. However the lowest price of our product is
determined by the unit cost of the product. We have taken into consideration if the
price lowers than the cost per unit will result in a loss for our company. We also
chose this pricing strategy to utilize this strategy intelligently to penetrate the market.
Besides that, we also confident that sales of our products can cover loss on the sales
of the particular product. Other factors that can contribute to the pricing include
economic conditions, government regulations, social concerns, and consumer
groups.
The main advantage of cost-based pricing is that selling prices are relatively
easy to calculate. If the mark-up percentage is applied consistently across product
ranges, then the business can also predict more reliably what the overall profit
margin will be. Some other advantages of the cost based pricing are in term of
flexibility whereby we can add a different percentage to different product lines.
Besides, if the costs of our product go up, it is easy to adjust the prices thus reducing
the loss in a long run plus it is easy for our marketer to defend the pricing and last but
not least it can suit a manufacturer with scalable production based on demand.
However, there are also disadvantages to this pricing strategy. Among the
disadvantages are it ignores product demand or the influence price may have on
demand and also what other competitors are doing with their pricing. Furthermore,
the most obvious disadvantage of this strategy is if the costs of our product increase,
so must the price. The name of this pricing strategy is self-explanatory where it is
66. based on the cost of the product itself. That is why the cost of our product is directly
proportional to the price of the product.
Another approach that we have taken into consideration is the pricing tactic
as different tactics can help us attract more customers and maximize our profits.
First, discounting offering specially-reduced prices can be a powerful tool. This could
be a clearance discount to sell old stock, a discount for making multiple purchases of
the same or similar products, or we could offer bulk discounts to encourage larger
orders. We thought that this tactic will enable us to make more profit through lower
costs.
Secondly, the odd value pricing or the psychological pricing. Using the tactic
of selling products for RM 9.99 instead of RM10 can be useful if price is an essential
part of customers buying decisions. Some customers perceive odd value prices like
this as being more attractive.
Another tactic is the loss leader. This involves selling a product at a low or
even loss-making price. Although we may not make a profit selling this product, we
could attract customers who will also buy other, more profitable products.
.
Next, the penetration.This tactic starts at a low price and gaining market
share before competitors catch up. Once we have a loyal customer base, we should
be able to find ways to raise prices later. This tactic seems very convenient to our
company as we are trying to penetrate the market as a new company.
Lastly, the tactic of raising or lowering prices. We are well aware that there
will be times when we need to change our prices. There are two key questions we
will try to answer. First, what effect will the price change have on the volume of sales,
and second, what will the effect be on the profit per sale? When we Increase the
prices, we can improve our profitability even though our sales volume may drop. If we
are increasing our prices, we will always explain to our customers why we are doing
it. We can use the price change as an opportunity to re-emphasize the benefits we
offer.
There are also ways that we can hide price increases. For example, we might
introduce new, higher-priced products or services and make older, cheaper ones
obsolete lower the specification and our costs while maintaining the same price but
we will be aware that hiding price increases can risk adverse reactions from our
customers if they realize what we are doing.
In contrast, the reducing prices, we know that we should never take the
decision to lower prices lightly. Low prices often go hand-in-hand with poor-quality
service. This is not the image we want to create for our business?
67. 3. Distribution Strategy
For product-focused companies, establishing the most appropriate distribution
strategies is a major key to success, defined as maximizing sales and profits. Place
represents the location where a product can be purchased. It is often referred as the
distribution channel. It includes any physical store as well as virtual stores on the
Internet. Distribution strategy is aimed at establishing a structured and controllable
distribution system to ensure the smoothness of transferring the products to its target
customers. As we are manufacturing and selling our products on our own without any
intermediaries, it can be considered that our distribution channel is from
manufactured to consumer after distributed to the wholesalers and retailers. Our
strategies are involved in many areas which are through the wholesalers then being
distributed to the retailers like grocery shops in one housing area and finally being
distributed directly to the customers.
Manufacturer
customer
1. Direct to consumer
First, we sell and manufactured our products which are bahuludirectly to the
consumer which are the one who pays to consume the goods and services produced
for satisfy their needs and wants. When we directly sell to the consumer, there has
no intermediary level and there are not involved the retailers and the wholesalers.
Even the consumers will having their own choice and may choose all varieties in
flavor besides, buying in large numbers of item that we had provided. By dealing
directly with consumers, manufacturers are able to remain in business. We choose
this type of distribution because we are providing fresh and clean food every day to
satisfy everyone‟s needs and wants.
.
Manufacturer
retailer
customer
2. Selling through retailers
Apart from that, we had manufactured our bahulu to the one intermediary level,
the retailers which are a business or person that sells goods to the consumer, as
opposed to a wholesaler or supplier, who normally sell their goods to another
business so that we can achieve the aim of expanding the coverage, increasing the
exposure, capturing the market and boosting the brand-name of its merchandise
within a relatively short time. They act as an intermediary link between the
manufacturers and the consumers of goods. But, the selection of the number and
location of retailers depend on the coverage area intended by our manufacturer,
68. Bahulu‟s House Enterprise. Even, we can have discovering and grasping real market
demand when dealing with the retailers. So, as the good strategy we had discover the
retailers in all main area in Malaysia so that the consumers in all area can know our
products through the retailers who sell our bahulu with buying our product when going
to the retailer‟s shops. So, our brand product will be having the good feedbacks from
Malaysian food market.
Manufacturer
wholesaler
customer
3. Selling through wholesalers
Apart from that, we had prefer to sell our bahulu to wholesalers as the
middlemen who operates between the producers (from whom they purchase goods)
and the retailers (to whom they sell goods) as well as referring to any individual or
business firm selling goods in relatively large quantities to retailers other than
consumers. Besides, a wholesaler takes charge of goods from a manufacturer,
usually in very large amounts, and in turn sells them to retail establishments at a
marked up price. Even, through their scale of operation, contacts, experiences and
specialization, wholesalers offer manufacturers more than what the manufacturers
can achieve on their own. So, we had selling our products through the wholesalers
like the big super market such as Mydin, Tesco, Econsave and Jaya Jusco. In case,
they will help to reduce the amount of efforts required by the manufacturer in
distributing his product to the final consumers and provide vast market coverage to his
products. Apart from that, to promote our brand product they act as a communication
channel by providing information about the products to the consumers, on one hand,
and the consumer feedback to the Bahulu‟ House on the other hand. More
importantly, by dealing with the wholesalers they have better financial resources than
manufactured directly to the consumers and dealing with retailers. Apart from that, our
Bahulu‟s House brand can be well-known in our Malaysian food market with the help
of wholesalers, help in perform advertising and sales promotion activities and also
employ expert sales representatives for the purpose.
69. 4. Promotion Strategy
Promotion represents all of the communications that a marketer may use in the
marketplace. Promotion has four distinct elements: advertising, public relations,
personal selling and sales promotion. A certain amount of crossover occurs when
promotion uses the four principal elements together, which is common in film
promotion.
1) Advertising
i.
Newspapers/magazines
This is one of our promotion strategies in introducing our company.
Newspaper is a part of medium in transferring information to the residents in
our marketplace. So, we will advertise our product including our company‟s
contact details. However, in order to minimize the cost, we will choose the hot
selling newspaper and magazines in the residential area. It also will reduce
the waste of advertising useless promotions.
ii.
Lower Price and Discount
Besides that, our company will give the best price to our customer and give
free extra bahulu to our customers that buy more than certain quantities.
iii.
Signboards and banners
70. Signboard is the way we introduce our company especially for our premises.
It is because, we will locate the signboard directly in front of our building so
that when people pass by, they will know where we are and what services
and products we are producing.
We will design and locate our banners at the main locations where
people always come or pass by for example is, at junctions of the roads,
terminal bus, universities or colleges, and so on. The total of the banners is
around five depends on how much place we will locate them.
These two medium of advertising will not be a problem to our company
especially for cost. It is because, we are producing these products and we
just need to pay for the raw materials of producing them.
iv.
Sticker
One of the ways to introduce our company and make our customers keep
informed about our products and services is by using sticker on every
packaging. The information provided includes:
a. Name of the company
b. Address of the company
c. Phone numbers - office and staffs
d. Company‟s logo
e. Company‟s e-mail
v.
Website
71. Other alternative that we will use is the website that has information about our
company and products. In spite of that, we also will use social networking
sites such as blog, facebook, twitter, and so on. Online selling is important as
it is the easiest way to buy something so people can make orders by only
access to the internet. In addition, people also easy to make any choices of
flavor or colour of bahulu because they can see the picture.
2) Sales promotion
This is a promotional activity or incentives carried out or offered within a set time
frame to influence purchases. Our company sales promotions are:
o
Give discounts to regular customers
o
Give discounts for big purchases
o
Big discount once a year
o
Give free extra bahulu to customer that purchased at certain quantity

4.19 PRODUCTION PLANNING
Production Planning is concerned with the determination and arrangement of all facilities
necessary for future operations. During the scheduling phase the production plan is
translated into a detailed, usually day-by-day, schedule of products to be made. Besides, it
helps to decide the ways and means of production and showing the direction. That
importantly, it is based on sales forecasting. So, it is important to make sure that the
business is able to produce outputs that are enough to fulfil the expected market demand or
sales. This can be achieved by having a good production planning. In production planning,
the business will determine how much output to produce for a certain period of time such as
in a day, a week or a month.
Average sales forecast per month = RM 32, 017
Price per unit
= RM 0.30
Number of output per month
= RM 26,311
RM 0.30
= 106,723UNITS
If the number of working days per month is 26 days,
The amount of output to be produced per day is:
=
106,723bahulu
26 days
98. =
4,104.7 4,105 bahulu per day
4.20 MANPOWER PLANNING
Manpower Planning which is consisting of putting right number of people, right kind
of people at the right place, right time, doing the right things for which they are suited for the
achievement of goals of the organization. Therefore, manpower planning involves reviewing
current manpower resources, forecasting future requirements and availability, and taking
steps to ensure that the supply of people and skills meets demand. The production operation
refers to the amount of output that can be produced within a specific time. Production
planning is a method to calculate manpower requirement so that production demand based
on sales forecast can be met.
The sales forecast is 27,750 units of bahulu per month which is monthly production demand
is 27,750. If working days per month are 26 days per month, the daily production rate is:
106,723 / 26 days = 4,105 bahulu per day
The working hour per day is 12 hours. After deducting one hour to two hours of rest period
and idling time the effective working hours per day is 9 hours. The hourly production rate is:
4,105 / 9 hours = 456 pieces of bahulu per hour
One worker can produce about 432 piecesbahulu in 1 hour and then his hourly capacity is:
432/ 1 = 432 pieces bahulu per hour
Therefore, the number of workers required is:
Planned Rate of Production per hour
Worker Productive Time per hour
=
456 pieces of bahulu
432 capacity of worker
=
1.05 1 workers
≈1 workers
Thus, BAHULU‟S HOUSE needs one workers in mixing and baking area.
