Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusion

By the result given, the conclusion would be there is just a little bit difference
between the product and the commercial one and so in terms of its attributes the
product is more likely possible to surpass the commercial one. But in that case, it is only
possible when there will be an improvement on the product itself. The product is
expected to be a big help to its subjects.

Recommendation

Improvement especially on the physical attributes of the product is mainly

needed. The main priority would be how will the product satisfy its respondent and what
will be its effect on the subject. Explore and know more about the things that might help
the product to boost up its possibility to be sold on the market. More importantly focus
on its effectiveness. By that the product will be more.
