Profit Margin Estimates

With Bangkok’s population at 8.3 million people, we have faith in our marketing strategy to minimally sell our product to 0.1% of the population (8000 people). Coupled with the fact that we managed to attain a low-cost price for our products, we are confident to hit a net profit of $40,000 from the sales of the first batch of products alone.

For example, in one study, it was found that women who took a 2.5 gram – 5 gram of collagen for 8 weeks experienced less skin dryness and a remarkable improvement in skin elasticity relative to those who did not take the supplements.

The older population also have the most to gain from eating health supplements. Collagen supplements aid the elderly in improving joint function, promote lean muscle mass and support healthy bones.

Hence these supplements are believed to be the shield that counteracts against the unhealthy lifestyle habits that we have developed, inspiring a new health fad that is trending among the city people to lead healthy lifestyles.

The Market

Bangkok has a population of 8.3 million people, so how are we going to pitch to them that they should consume our health supplements daily idea?

The middle class in Thailand has grown to a 49 whopping million of which have begun to lead and desire a different lifestyle, a healthier lifestyle.

The elderly population in Thailand will make up for 20% of the total population. These are another set of customers we will be targeting our health supplements at. Out of the 3-billion Baht market for multi-vitamins supplements, only 3% are catered for the elderly’s consumption.

It is reported that Health and food supplement sales can be expected to contribute to over 30% of the Thai Direct Selling Association in 2018, up from 10% a decade ago.

The market for such health supplements is growing rapidly and our product serves to cater to this demand arising from increased purchasing power of the Thais. Furthermore, with recent news exposing dangerous health products containing illegal substances, the locals will be on the look out for a new, more trustworthy brand with a product that sells what it claims to sell.

As described briefly earlier, our marketing strategy comprise of a 2-prong method, retail distributors and Thai distribution agents. These distribution agents will be entrusted to sell our products as part of their own business while simultaneously bringing in more agents who would not only consume (Why wouldn’t they) but also sell these products. Agents will be spurred to recruit more agents under their wing as they earn a tiered profit through the agents they bring in. With this steady structure of marketing our product through the multiple layers of agents, we can ensure our product will be visible to the Bangkok residents and the middle-income earners in Thailand.

Progress/ proof

Most of the administrative or business processes have already been setup and organized. We have already established contact with several retail outlets and gathered 60 distributing agents prepared to launch the product on a go. The production of the first batch is ready to begin at any moment now. The red-tape regarding the selling of health supplements in Bangkok has also been sorted out accordingly with the authorities.

Last but not least, PAY IT FORWARD. Certain profits from the company will be used for charity and future aspiring entrepreneurs.
