how do we go about our product launch of KIMCHI in the Philippines?

We are having our project in school where we will launch our product - KIMCHI (Korea's staple side dish - but we are going to make it Filipino Style for the Filipino market),and I am in charge of the gimiks. It is just a 45-min small crowd presentation. But I have no idea what to do. Suggestions, please. Thanks

First, did you do any research? Did you find out if Filipinos would even want Kimchi? If so, I would start with the statistics you pulled out of your research, showing that there's support for this product in this market. That will be the backbone. Then, show why your Kimchi will work in the market. What is unique about yours? How's it being packaged? Marketed? Distributed? What is your sales and marketing plan? I would keep the presentation more technical than anything else. This shouldnt be a 45 min commercial about Kimchi, but rather how you are going to succeed in turning Kimchi into a Filipino sidedish.

Small Business Funding: 10 Ways to Actually Sell your Idea Before you Launch

This is a conundrum that many entrepreneurs are faced with as they are developing their ideas and putting the business together. I hear “How do I test my product or service so that I can attract investors and the resources I need if I don’t HAVE the money or the resources to test my product?”

You can actually do it all!

Plan for milestones of beta-testing and validating every step of the way so you can continually attract the resources you need that will help build momentum. Momentum attracts investors and buyers.

Here are 10 things you can do during the planning process:

1. Start out by doing “dry testing” of your concept with live or online focus groups BEFORE you have an actual product to test. There are professional services for this but you can start by getting feedback from people you know who may volunteer for this. If you can validate the concept, move on to the next step.

2. Your product idea may need some major engineering before it’s ready for actual prototype creation and testing but you can prepare a non-working prototype sooner than later. Start doing “esthetics” testing with your groups to make sure people can appreciate it visually before you invest in a working prototype.

3. Get a panel of experts together who can mastermind with you to solve any issues you may have about product design, obsolescence, esthetics, marketability, etc. Document all participant credentials and any analysis made for possible inclusion into your business plan.

4. When a prototype is available, begin testing extensively with your customers (usually buyers) and end users (consumers) BEFORE you commit to full production. You could receive pre-orders at this stage.

5. Use your prototypes to acquire letters of intent and actual purchase orders from buyers or whoever would be purchasing large quantities of your product.

6. Create Joint Venture opportunities with individuals or organizations who have large mailing lists of potential clients for when you’re ready to launch.

7. As soon as possible, consider doing small manufacturing runs of your product for local or regional testing in a controlled market. When people start buying your product within that market, you have achieved “traction”.

8. Document in your business plan the various stages of testing and localized selling you have established to help build investor confidence.

9. During this timeframe, create activities which will build your database of prospective customers for a future launch. Offer pre-order discounts, host a contest, offer a newsletter or something else of value.

10. Want to sell into major retail stores? Consider meeting with local buyers in your desired markets to establish a time to do a “trunk show” or a short run in that store to test the product. It is much easier to achieve large national vendor contracts when you’ve had success in the local markets.

Many of these activities can be done prior to product development and all of these can be used to attract investors, contracts and other resources to help you achieve success with your business!

6 Great Internet Marketing Tools for Your Internet Business

They would rather spend their time in trying to bring in a few more customers by doing much simpler things than planning big.

In any case, most of them do not think that drawing up a plan for their internet business will be of any use. The plan need not be elaborate, however. It involves taking just a few simple steps. Proactive internet home business owners focus on understanding what their customers need most by interacting with them and then they gear themselves to fulfill such needs.

They notice changes in the market trends and recreate their internet marketing tools as well as website content periodically. They put emphasis on the core areas of their business that bring the most benefits. A lot many customers come in to buy when they know that they get the best value for their money. Internet business marketing is also about establishing individual contacts with your prospects as well as existing customers.

Email marketing is GREAT internet marketing tool
This can best be done through email, which has now become a very important internet marketing tool. Email marketing reach the target audience directly. Internet marketers and their customers or prospective customers get to establish an informal and continuous relationship, which will be good for their business in the long run.

Being inexpensive and fast, email marketing is a good internet marketing tool for promoting their business, especially because they have a wide spread and can reach, at once, a large number of buyers looking for products or services offered online. Best of all, email marketing can be used to encourage customers to give feedback, for improving sales as well as for modifying email marketing strategies.

Other inexpensive internet marketing tools
Owners of internet businesses, in general, cannot afford to invest in pricey advertisements in the traditional media. Consequently, they are always on the look out for ad opportunities that cost next to nothing.

They are willing to use more their creativity than their money. No doubt, email marketing offers such an opportunity. Blogs can also be used similarly, provided they reach those people that evince some interest in the goods or services of the internet business concerned.

A well-written press release is another internet marketing tool that can profitably be exploited without expense.

If advertisements are all about catching the attention of the people to promote business, you can get it by spreading information that highlights the line of your internet business by word of mouth. People are ready to listen to you if you talk about how the various aspects of their life will change for the better when they choose to become your customers.

What you say, of course, must be convincing and interesting. Power point presentation of your projects and products to small manageable groups will serve your purpose, although to a limited extent. You can also think to show a catchy video on your page. One picture sells more than thousands words.

Ads using Google AdWords do not need any initial investment, but if they work for you, you will be able to afford the overall expense of the effort, particularly since you are allowed to wait to pay till you receive successful results.

Strategies to promote the internet business may not be totally different from those that work for the big business, except that there will be a shift in the emphasis.
