2. In the growing world of business it is really a challenge for those who want to start a
business to come up with a unique product or services that will cater a wide market.
Coming up with a distinctive product may seem impossible though variations and
planning up of different ideas may produce a unique and sole business product that will
be enjoyed by many consumers. In starting up a business it is proper to think first if the
product is something that people would actually spend their money for. In the
community we are in, most of the businesses coming up are concerning
foods, beverages and other similar product.
Many Filipinos around if not all have sweet tooth. They almost always see to it that
sweets or desserts are a part of their daily diet. As aspiring Entrepreneurs we took that
opportunity and come up with the idea of starting a business that will cater the people
a product that will surely satisfy their cravings of sweet delicacies. Having this as an idea
for business we establish our product to be home-made and easy to make no-bake
brownies which will surely be highly accepted by the target market.

There are many pastry shops or cake shop already at the peak of their
business. Also small businesses of pastries, delicacies and other similar
products are just around the corner. We determine some of our
competitors would be those in school selling brownies and other sweet
treats that has become popular to the students. Our business on the
other hand will be focused only on no-bake brownies which will only use
refrigerator for storing. We wanted our product to be our original and
own-made n-bake brownies. We are also open for the development of
the product once it is out in the market. We are also expecting a 20%
return on investment.

What the Fudge Brownies will have broad customer appeal due to
school atmosphere, wide variety of food offerings, and low price points.
We will not only compete with the other student seller, but also with the
school canteen.
In competing against them, we will have the following advantages:
- Lower price point for a complete service. If our consumer is a
brownie lover, it’s another advantages for us to gin more profit.
- There will be no tipping at “What the Fudge” since we are direct
selling. This will reduce the actual customer cost.
- Speed of service will be instant: no waiting. Everything will be
readily available: fresh, and cooked as requested.
- Our portions will be "just right." The portion size meets the
need, rather than a pre-determined amount meant to suit the "average"
person.
