Thus, enhanced digitalization and an increase in the percentage of population attracted toward
online shopping in the Philippines are factors expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for skin
care product manufacturers to market and sell their products via online platforms. JO-BEAuty
follows to satisfy the rise in the desire to retain one's attractiveness for a longer period of time,
improvements in lifestyle, and an increase in female labor force, which is a primary reason for
driving the need for skin care products in the Philippines (Market Research, 2020).
1.1.Objectives
JO-BEAuty will be focusing on achieving the following objectives:
1.4.Features
Made with organic ingredients
An affordable local brand
Has a unique aesthetic packaging
Has 10x ultra-moisturizing effect
Water-resistant
1.5.Sales and Marketing Strategy
Customers can buy directly from Distributors and Resellers of JO-BEAuty from both cities and
provinces. It is also available on online shopping platforms such as Lazada and Shopee.
1.6.Financial/Business Case
Rough estimates show that we could sell into 300 skin care products at the rate of 25 products
per month for 1 year. This is a conservative estimate. At P250 and P300 proposed price we
would be forecasting approximately P6,875 revenue per month. The product is projected to
show profitability by 1 year for Pre-Launch Period 1.
1.7.Competitive Products
JO-BEAuty is a local brand that offers beauty products at affordable price. We believe that a
skin care products shouldn’t be pricey and must be available to everyone. Our Competitors
are G21 and PSPH Beauty. Although we all have same manufacturers, JO-BEAuty remains
to offer beauty products for as low as P250 to P300 while the price of our competitor’s products
are ranging from P280 to P385.
1.8.Product Schedule
The schedule of products is estimated from 6 months to 1 year with a total demand of 900 skin
care products from the period 1 of the pre-launching. Since every demand has an incurring set
up costs, there's no guarantee that the planned operation will run smoothly.

We identified millennial women as our core customer since a Cosmetics Study in the United States
discovered that millennial women (ages 18 to 34) are the most passionate purchasers of beauty
products in the $13 billion cosmetic industry.
We identified young adults as our secondary customers since Skin care products have become a big
priority for young people (14 to 18), and it's not only the usual suspects of acne and oil management
that are at the top of their to-do lists. Younger customers are taking better care of their skin than
previous generations.
Unlike other local brands, we are offering affordable and high-quality personal care products for as low as P250-P300.
JO-BEAuty products not only assist the user to achieve fair and radiant skin, but they also aid in the
healing of acne, uneven skin tone, and acne scars. JO-BEAuty may confront issues such as
government efforts, emerging markets, new services, and processes within the next 12-18 months.
JO-BEAuty follows to satisfy the rise in the desire to retain one's attractiveness for a longer period of
time, improvements in lifestyle, and an increase in female labor force, which is a primary reason for
driving the need for skin care products in the Philippines (Market Research, 2020).

The Unit Forecast helps you forecast the number of units you'll sell each month using the bottom-up method.
JO-BEAuty for period 1 has 300 units of products to be sold. Every month there are 25 pieces / unit. To get
the Unit Forecast, we multiply the unit to the average selling price.
= 26,250 monthly

the Unit Forecast, we multiply the unit to the average selling price.

unit. To get the Unit Forecast, we multiply the unit to the average selling price.

JO-BEAuty for Post-Launch year 2, has 1,200 units of products to be sold. Every month there are 100 pieces
/ unit. To get the Unit Forecast, we multiply the unit to the average selling price.
= 105,000 monthly

purchases.
For the Pre-Launch Period 1, JO-BEAuty expects to have an average of 300 customers (25x12) with an

Net Revenue is calculated by adding up all the sales that a company recorded and then subtracting direct
selling expenses, like commissions, discounts and returns.
Since we have introductory price of 20% off or 50 pesos off and our sales forecast for Period 1 is P26,250
monthly. To get the net revenue, we must subtract discounts (in the introductory price) from sales forecast.
15,000 + 6,250
= P21,250 Discounts
= P5,000
Sales forecast for Period 2 is P52,500 monthly. To get the net revenue, we must subtract discounts (in the
introductory price) from sales forecast.
= P42,500 Discounts
= P52,500 - P42,500
= P9,500
Sales forecast for year 1(Post-Launch) is P78,750 monthly. To get the net revenue, we must subtract
discounts (in the introductory price) from sales forecast.
= P60,000 Discounts
= P78,750 - P60,000
= P18,750
= P80,000 Discounts
= P105,000 - P80,000
= P25,000
Development Cost is the expense earned by a business while researching and developing a new product
or service. It could also be the total of product design, production, and logistics costs.
For a developed aesthetic packaging in Period 1, JO-BEAuty is estimated to cost P6,750 for P500 Pixie Dust
Soap, P2,500 Vanilla Strawberry Potion, P1,250 Gluta Berry Lotion, and P2,500 Seoul's Dewy Set, all of
which are 25 pieces each.

P1,500 Pixie Dust Soap, P7,500 Vanilla Strawberry Potion, P3,750 Gluta Berry Lotion, and P7,500 Seoul's

Rent: P600,000
Salaries: P126,000
For Period 1 (Pre-Launch), According to Nerd Wallet, Salary is 40% of Business Revenue (315,000) which
is P126,000 for Period 1. A rent for 50sqm is P600,000.
= P755,700
= P785,400
For Post-Launch Period 1, with the same operating expenses, P726,000, will be added to P89,100.
= P815,100
For Post-Launch Period 2, with the same operating expenses, P726,000, will be added to P118,800.
P726,000 + P118,800

Marketing Cost is the total expenditure on the marketing activities. It includes a wide range of activities such
as advertising, campaigning, sales force expenses, promotional events, celebrity endorsement, and market
research.

Net Contribution or contribution margin is the sales price of a product minus its variable costs. Variable
Costs vary based on the amount of output produced. Variable costs may include labor, commissions, and
raw materials.
P60,000 - P29,700
= P30,300
For period 2 (Pre-Launch), we have P114,000 sales. The cost of Good Sold as the variable cost is P59,400.
P114,000 - P59,400
= P54,600
For year 1 (Post-Launch), we have P225,000 sales. The Cost of Good Sold as the variable cost is P89,100.
P225,000 - P89,100
= P135,900
For year 2 (Post-Launch), we have P300,000 sales. The Cost of Good Sold as the variable cost is P118,800.
P300,000 - P118,800
= P181,200
8. Partner Programs
JO-BEAuty has partner programs such as Lazada, Shopee, and Tiktok. By engaging with partner programs,
there will be advertisements that will help JO-BEAuty to get investments, resellers, and distributors who want
to be part of this skincare line. Discounted offers will be given to distributors and resellers as they purchase
or start their entry. Thereby, as they sell more products, there will be a gaining profit.
Moreover, there will be monthly giveaways and cash prizes that will be given to distributors and resellers of
JO-BEAuty. Distributors and resellers should have at least P10,000 to P15,000 weekly sales. Thus, will
provide monthly sales reports to the company.

year and the boosting of customer retention at 10% each year, which can be achieved through the top three
