garment alterations, offered with regular home pick-up and delivery services which
is located in San Fernando, Pampanga. The target market in the study is the households

the current market are mostly traditional laundry shops. Compared to these traditional
laundry shops, Regular Home pick-up and drop laundry shop is more convenient, time

business, there will be no possible long term receivables and liabilities. Also, based from

Introduction
Doing laundry is a part of every person’s life. Just like food and shelter, clothing is
one of our most basic necessities. To have fresh clothes every day that we can readily wear,
we allot some of our time and energy in washing and drying our clothes. There are two basic
ways in doing this, i.e. hand washing and machine washing. However, some people either
don’t have enough time or energy or both to do their own laundry. Thus, the birth of
laundry shops.
helps our economies evolve and this change affects the lifestyle of every individual. It is
clearly evident in the evolution of laundry machines. In the older times, it usually takes two
or more days before we can take back our clothes from the laundry shops. With the

Historical Background
Washing of laundry is one of the oldest household chores, probably one of the
most unappreciated, known to man. Before the emergence of washing machines and
mechanical dryers, let us discover how washing laundry was done before.
The beginning of laundry can be attributed to the use of wool on clothes. Since
wool are highly expensive at that time, and the use of cotton has not yet been discovered
for textile, the need to reuse the clothes through cleaning had been a necessity. During
the earlier times, people did their laundry along rivers and streams. Laundry washing used
to be a man’s job, with full ones using rocks and boards to scrub and their feet to tread
the clothes. After washing, the clothes were dried and were brushed with hedgehog’s
skin or some thorn-embedded stalks or stems to remove visible adhering soils, after
which sulfur was scrubbed to whiten the clothe. Sun drying was the drying method used.

One of the biggest mistakes that an organization can make is to assume that all of its
customers are the same. The power of excellent sales, marketing and customer service
comes from realizing that different types of customers have different types of needs.
While some organizations consider customer complaints to be signs of failure, others see
them as opportunities to learn from. Also, research suggests that customers who
experience prompt resolution to their complaints often are some of the most loyal
customers. You can understand why the most important aspect between your
organization and its customers is the quality of the relationship between the organization
and its customers. That quality determines how loyal your customers are to your
organization.

their housework (including laundry) in San Fernando, Pampanga. They are often
tired after the whole day of working and tend to spend money to hire someone

1. Demand Analysis (Fig.10), projected demand is the estimated kilo of clothes per
week that needs to be catered by our services.
2. Supply analysis (Fig.11), Loading Capacity per week is the normal operating
capacity that the Laundry shop can cater.
3. As seen in Fig.12, there will be a gap of 6382 (7132-750) kilos that will never be
catered. Hence which is a good thing, since the demand for our services is higher
than what we can give. Therefore, the threats of competitors to rise up in the same

critical questions such as, “Is your current product or service, or mix of
products and services, appropriate and suitable for the market and the
customers of today?
2. Prices - The Second P in the formula is price. Develop the habit of continually
examining and reexamining the prices of the products and services you sell
to make sure they’re still appropriate to the realities of the current market.
Sometimes you need to lower your prices. At other times, it may be
appropriate to raise your prices. Many companies have found that the
profitability of certain products or services doesn’t justify the amount of
effort and resources that go into producing them. By raising their prices,

customers about your products or services and how you then market and
sell to them.
Small changes in the way you promote and sell your products can lead to
dramatic changes in your results. Even small changes in your advertising can
headline on an advertisement.
4. Place- The Fourth P in the marketing mix is the place where your product or
service is actually sold. Develop the habit of reviewing and reflecting upon
the exact location where the customer meets the salesperson. Sometimes a

present? How do people think and talk about your company? What
positioning do you have in your market, in terms of the specific words people
use when they describe you and your offerings to others?

responsible for every element of your sales and marketing strategy and
activities.

decision and policy has to be carried out by a specific person, in a specific
way. Your ability to select, recruit, hire and retain the proper people, with the
skills and abilities to do the job you need to have done, is more important
than everything else put together.

The Demand and Supply Analysis showed that 62% is the excess in demand over the
supply and it will be the market share basis for the purpose of this study.
Every household will do their laundry once every week in one cycle.
The maximum capacity of the machines acquired is 10 kilos per cycle. The survey result
shows that majority of the household has an average of 9 kilos of laundry per week
which is within the capacity of the machines. The survey result also shows that most of
Ending inventory shall be equal to 50% of the required average monthly supplies
