that are sent for servicing will perform well after our service.

We also provides our customer with unique customization of computer programs and
softwares as well as hardwares to suit their need and demand of our customer. We also
provides various service packages to suit our customers need and demand of the market and
to fulfill their needs and wants well by providing these unique personalize packages for our
targeted customers. This helps us to be different from our competitors due to these unique

3033 Entrepreneurship May-Aug 2010

services. We also makes sure that our services provided is also attractive and of good to
excellent quality so we will always have repeated customers and new customers coming in.

We also provide after sales services if our customers find that there maybe some errors in our
services or needed corrections, we will do so , so that our customers are always happy and
satisfied with our services. We also make an effort to improve our services for the benefit of
our customers.

Pricing Strategy

We provide value-based pricing that is where our customers’ perception of the value of our
product and service. We also did proper research on our services and products that are
provided for sell. We noticed that from our competitors if they provided too high pricing for
their products and services, it resulted in poor sales while pricing too low on their products
and services will generate less revenue than they would if the price were raised to the
perceived value level.

On the other hand, we also use competitor pricing so that we are able to compete with our
competitors but to also enable us to provide better quality services and packages than our
competitors. This is because we assume that our customers judge a product’s value or service
value on the competitors’ prices as well as their quality of service. So, we need to be able to
be competitive in the market. We have to sometimes follow our competitors’ pricing on their
products and services while provided good or excellent quality products and services for our
customers.

By applying these two kinds of pricing strategy, we will be able to at least main and keep our
repeated customers while encourages new customers to purchase our products or/and our
services more often over a longer period of time.

Distribution Strategy

We will then apply the distribution strategy when we choose who and how our products
or/and our services are distributed. As such, distribution strategy is aimed at establishing a
structured and controllable distribution system to ensure the product offered or services
offered reaches the targeted customer.

A distribution channel moves goods from producers to customers.

In our business, we choose to provide our products or/and services directly to our customers.
This is because it has no intermediary level and consists of a business selling directly to
customers.

Besides that, we also provide selling our products from selling through retailers or selling
through wholesalers. This is because we do not produce or make our own computer or laptop

20
3033 Entrepreneurship May-Aug 2010

parts or accessories needed for servicing our customers’ computer. We also noticed it is much
cheaper to just buy through a good retailer or retailers, wholesaler or wholesalers and just
service our customers’ computer or laptop as when needed. This is also because we want to
concentrate mainly on our computer consultation services for our customers as we are more
specialized in this field of expertise.

Promotion Strategy

We also apply promotion strategy for our business. This strategy is used to disseminate
information about the company’s product or services with the purpose of attracting the target
market. Our target markets are a group of people who are teenagers, young adults and new
companies. So to apply this strategy, we need to advertise, have sales promotions, and to
build good public relations and have good publicity so that our customers will be aware of
our company as well as to encourage them to purchase products or/and services from us.

By advertising through various media format such as by printed media (newspapers,


magazines, and yellow pages), by broadcast media (television, radio, and cable TV), by
internet (through websites) and by also outdoor activities (billboard, banners).

Now and then we also have sales promotions where we give short incentives or special offers
to encourage our customers to comeback for our services or by giving special offers where
our customers can get free online games pack installation for a good value and as well as
extra computer consulting packages for our regular customers who are interested in
upgrading or updating their software and hardware and their programs for various purposes
such as for assignments, projects and various company activities that require computer
consulting services.

Besides that, we also need to have public relations and good publicity so that we will have
more customers coming to our company for computer consulting services. Public relations
functions includes press relations, public affairs and investor relations. And we also need to
emphasize on free media attention such as in articles, magazines, newspapers, TV or radios.
This is to attract our customers attention and to ensure that they are aware of our company
and its services to the community.
