quality, eco-friendly organic soap that enhances guest

experience, supports sustainable tourism, and aligns with

1.2.3 Competitor Analysis

The current market is moderately competitive. Most

accommodations still use mass-produced or commercial

soaps, which are often imported or not environmentally

friendly.

Direct Competitors:

 Commercial soap suppliers offering bulk amenities

 Imported hotel amenity kits from Metro Manila distributors

Complementary Players:

 Local manufacturers of herbal cosmetics and organic

wellness products

While some competitors have established networks, very

few offer custom-branded organic soaps with a focus on

local sourcing and sustainability. This presents a unique

opportunity for the company to establish itself as a niche

supplier.

Barriers to Entry:

 Consistency in production and packaging standards

6
 Establishing trust with decision-makers in the hospitality

sector

1.2.4 Competitive Advantage

The company differentiates itself through:

 The use of locally-sourced organic ingredients supporting

community-based farming

 Eco-friendly packaging options, with plastic-free and

refillable formats

 The ability to customize branding and scents, allowing

hotels to create a personalized guest experience

To mitigate risks, the company:

 Establishes long-term supplier agreements with local

growers

 Offers flexibility in order sizes to suit small and medium

businesses

 Invests in brand building and education on the value of

organic products

7
Legal protections include brand trademarking and potential

registration of soap formulas with the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA).

1.2.5 Marketing and Communication

The company’s marketing approach is focused and

relationship-driven. Strategies include:

 Direct outreach to hotel and resort owners/managers

through calls, emails, and in-person visits

 Participation in local trade shows, tourism expos, and green

initiatives

 Collaboration with the Department of Tourism and local

tourism councils

Digital tools include:

 Social media marketing (Facebook, Instagram)

 Online product brochures and client testimonials

 Search engine optimization (SEO) for visibility within the

local tourism and hospitality sectors

1.2.6 Distribution

8
Distribution is managed through:

 Direct delivery to clients within Albay using local

transport or courier services

 Partnerships with logistics providers for efficient

distribution to resorts in remote areas

In the future, the company plans to:

 Establish a small distribution hub in Legazpi City

 Expand operations to neighboring provinces such as

Sorsogon and Camarines Sur

the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats

involved in a project or organisation. It's a framework for

matching an organisation's goals, programmes and

capacities to the environment in which it operates.

7. 7 Packaging and Display  Put it on a well prepared

packaging

 Put it on display section

In the organic soap-making, there is significant room for

Research and Development (R&D), allowing creators to

elevate their products. By exploring a variety of high-

quality, sustainably sourced ingredients, soap makers can

refine their formulations, ensuring superior texture and

benefits. Testing different soap bases, such as coconut or

olive oil, alongside shea butter, can offer diverse results.

Furthermore, formulating soaps to target specific skin

concerns, like acne or dryness, by using essential oils such

as tea tree or chamomile extract, can set the product apart.

Integrating antioxidant-rich extracts, like green tea or

rosehip, can also enhance the soap’s anti-aging properties.

Ensuring that the soap is not only effective but also free of

irritation through patch testing becomes essential in

13
delivering a gentle, high-performance product. Alongside

ingredient experimentation, soap makers can innovate with

eco-friendly packaging and natural colorants to improve the

aesthetic appeal and sustainability of their soaps.

Researching natural preservatives or techniques to enhance

shelf life and performance, such as testing the soap's lather,

moisturizing quality, and resistance to degradation, is also

crucial.

To finance the development and production of organic

soap, a combination of personal savings, small loans from

family or friends, and crowdfunding could be used initially

to cover the costs of raw materials and setting up

production. As the product gains traction, additional

funding might come from small business loans, investors,

or grants aimed at supporting eco-friendly startups. For

R&D suppliers, organic ingredients like essential oils,

fragrance oils, botanical extracts, and soap bases could be

sourced from trusted local distributors or international

suppliers focused on sustainability. In Albay, particularly in

areas like Legazpi City or Daraga, there are opportunities to

collaborate with local farms or agricultural cooperatives to

obtain fresh, organic botanicals and extracts. These

14
partnerships would not only provide high-quality

ingredients but also support the local community and align

with the brand’s commitment to sustainability and organic

practices.

2.2 SUPPIER AND RAW MATERIALS

By supporting local producer and distributor while

creating a good quality organic soap. the fragrance oil and

essential oil are bought from Janah essential oil in Legaspi

city a local distributor here in Albay, the Buela’s local

flower shop here in San Lorenzo tabaco city known for its

good quality and fresh flowers. And the base packing, that

came from Melar packaging supplies located at Bonot

Legaspi city, Albay known for its different and unique base

packaging.

This structure provides the owner with full control over

business decisions and operations while minimizing startup

costs. Additionally, it requires fewer legal formalities and

less paperwork compared to other business structures. The

owner has direct access to profits without the need to share

with partners or shareholders. This structure also allows for

quick decision-making, making it ideal for a small-scale

business focused on handcrafted organic soaps. However,

the owner assumes full liability for business debts and

obligations, which should be carefully managed through

proper financial planning and risk assessment.
