Quarter 1 – Week 5
This lesson covers the Generating Ideas for Business, Branding and SWOT
analysis.
Here are some basic yet very important considerations that can be used to
generate possible ideas for business:
1. Examine existing goods and services. Are you satisfied with the product? What
do other people who use the product say about it? How can it be improved? There
are many ways of improving a product from the way it is made to the way it is packed
and sold. You can also improve the materials used in crafting the product. In
addition, you can introduce new ways of using the product, making it more useful
and adaptable to the customers’ many needs. When you are improving the product
or enhancing it, you are doing an innovation. You can also do an invention by
introducing an entirely new product to replace the old one.
Business ideas may also be generated by examining what goods and services are
sold outside the community. Very often, these products are sold in a form that can
still be enhanced or improved.

2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the customers,
institutions, and communities are missing in terms of goods and services.
Sometimes, these needs are already obvious and identified right away. Other needs
are not that obvious because they can only be identified later on, in the event of
certain development in the community. For example, a province will have its
electrification facility in the next six months. Only by that time will the entrepreneur
could think of electrically- or generated business such as photo copying, computer
service, digital printing, etc.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products and
services are referred to as market demand. To satisfy these needs is to supply the
products and services that meet the demands of the market. The term market refers
to whoever will use or buy the products or services, and these may be people or
institutions such as other businesses, establishments, organizations, or government
agencies.
Businesses or industries in the locality also have needs for goods and
services. Their needs for raw materials, maintenance, and other services such as
selling and distribution are good sources of ideas for business.
4. Examine the available resources. Observe what materials or skills are available
in abundance in your area. A business can be started out of available raw materials
by selling them in raw form and by processing and manufacturing them into finished
products. For example, in a copra-producing town, there will be many coconut husks
and shells available as “waste” products. These can be collected and made into coco
rags or doormats and charcoal bricks and sold profitably outside the community.
A group of people in your neighborhood may have some special skills that can
be harnessed for business. For example, women in the Mountain Province possess
loom weaving skills that have been passed on from one generation to another. Some
communities set up weaving businesses to produce blankets, decorative, and
various souvenir items for sale to tourists and lowlanders.
Business ideas can come from your own skills. The work and experience you
may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts, home economics, or ICT classes will
provide you with business opportunities to acquire the needed skills which will earn
you extra income should you decide to engage in income-generating activities. With
your skills, you may also tinker around with various things in your spare time. Many
products are invented this way.
5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on new products and
techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business ideas from
magazines such as Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Business Magazines, “Go
Negosyo”, Know About Business (KAB) materials, and Small-Industry Journal. The
Internet also serves as a library where you may browse and surf on possible
businesses. It will also guide you on how to put the right product in the right place, at
the right price, and at the right time.

Branding
Branding is a marketing practice of creating a name, a symbol or design that
identifies and differentiates product or services from the rest. It is also a promise to
your customers. It tells them what they can expect from your product or service and
it differentiates your offerings from other competitors. Your brand is derived from who
you are, who you want to be and what people perceive you to be.
Branding is one of the most important aspects in any business. An effective
brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets.
A good product can:
- deliver message clearly,
- confirm credibility,
- connect to target prospect,
- motivate buyers, and
- concretize user loyalty.
SWOT ANALYSIS
In generating a business idea, you should first identify the type of business suited
to your business idea. You should analyze and scan the potential environment, study
the marketing practices and strategies of your competitors, analyze strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your environment to ensure that the
products or services you are planning to offer will be patronized and within easy
reach of target consumers.
