In the Philippines, Christmas celebrations start when the -ber months roll in.

No-Bake Silvanas

Something light and something that is a true treat to have during the holidays: silvanas. Dahil madalas siya ay binibili lamang at hindi niluluto sa bahay, your negosyo can be one of the few that provide silvanas along with the more hearty dishes. You can offer this as an affordable gifting option dahil you can make more with the 370ml can ng Angel All Purpose Creamer. Sarap na, sulit pa dahil P47.50 lang per can.

Pricing your items and computing your profit with the Angel Kita calculator!

Ibang disciplina ang pag presyo ng mga binebenta dahil hindi lang siya simpleng pag-add at pag-subtract. Medyo madami rin ang kailanga i-consider sa pag compute ng tamang presyo para sure na may kita pa rin tayo at the end of the day. After all, ang kita ng online negosyo ay nakasalalay sa pricing ng items natin.

So before you announce your prices online, remember to take these things into consideration:

 

Ang mga gastos

Sa unang una palang ay may mga bagay ka ng kailangan bilhin o bayaran: ingredients, packaging items, yung mga tutulong sa pagluto—at ang lahat ng ito ay ang mga gastos ng negosyo mo. More often than not, costs of an online business will be fixed; hindi sila mamawala. In fact, tataas pa yan as you grow and expand your negosyo.

Pero habang may mga fixed na cost, meron din tayong tinatawag na variable expense, o yung mga pambabayad na iiba-iba din pa-minsan minsan. For example, mas mahal ang mga sariwang prutas kung hindi sila in season. Ang mga ibang variable cost ay ang utility costs ng negosyo, tulad ng electricity o tubig, at sales commissions sa mga tumutulong sayo sa pag-benta.

Depende naman talaga sa proceso ng negosyo ang listahan ng mga gastusin nito, whether fixed cost siya o variable cost. But while you’re listing down your costs, it will also pay to think of ways to save on your expenses. Baka ang mga suppliers na pinagbibilhan mo, nagooffer ng discounts kung madami ang order mo sa kanina o baka mas magandang bayaran ang mga empleyado mo ng hourly rates or daily rates.

 

Potential revenue sources

Sa negosyo, maraming potential revenue sources, pero ang pinakamalaki ang ay ang pagbebenta ng mga produkto. Pero higit pa sa pag-benta, may mga iba rin pwede tignan para pagkakitaan: delivery fee (kung ikaw man ang magddeliver ng mga sariling produkto), pwede rin mag wholesale ng mga pinagbebenta, pwede maging supplier sa mga party o kahit ano man.

I-lista ang lahat ng posibleng revenue source para mas may potential lumaki ang revenue!

 

Ang profit margin

When you price your products, kailangan may profit margin goal ka rin. Gusto mo ba kumita ng 30 percent bawat benta or mas gusto mo na 40 percent ito? Ang pag compute ng profit margin ay nakukuha sa sumusunod na formula:

Profit Margin = [(Revenue – Cost)/Revenue] x 100

Experiment with the numbers and see where you can adjust in order to reach your target profit margin. Pwede bang i-baba ang mga gastos or kailangan taasan ang presyo ng mga produkto?

Wag ka maintimidate sa mga numbers! May Angel Kita Calculator na para tulungan kang makita ang inyong potential kita!

Here’s a checklist of all that you need to know when starting an online business

Starting an online business is not easy. The truth of the matter is, there’s a lot to consider when starting an online business of your own. So bago ka muna magsimula (o mag-extend kung nakapagsimula ka na!), remember these five things that you need to know when starting an online business:

 

Planning your products

When it comes to your online negosyo, plan your product line accordingly. Kung may specialty ka na, pagisipan na rin ang mga items na pwedeng i-partner. Or kung hindi naman swak na swak na partner, pwede rin ibahin lang ang mga flavors. May ube na at strawberry na nga, may mango flavor pa!

Giving your customer options means giving yourself and your negosyo more potential to earn.

 

Finding the right suppliers

Another thing you should already be thinking about is your suppliers o kung saan mabibili ang mga kailangan na gamit, kung ingredients man o mga pang-package. At tandaan: may mga paraan para makatipid sa mga costs!

May mga suppliers na nagbibigay ng discount para sa bulk order, so order na ng malaki kung alam mong mauubos at magagamit rin naman. At kung saan pwede, mag order na diretso sa supplier; wag ka na dumaan pa sa mga grocery o third-parties. Tulad ng Angel Milk, na nag-ooffer ng direct at bulk orders (link to bulk order form).

 

Payment methods available

Of course, kailangan rin ng ready payment methods para sa mga order ng customers. Buti nalang ay marami ng paraan para tayo ay makapag-transact online. Sa ganun, pwede rin makapili ang customers kung ano ang pinakamadali sa kanya.

On top of your bank account, pwedeng magbukas ng GCash account o PayMaya. Ang importante lang i-consider sa mga payment methods ay kung madali rin natin ma-checheck kung nakapasok na ang transfer. Syempre, we will avoid all possible ways na pwede tayo ma-scam.

 

Delivery methods available

As much as possible, kailangan rin siguraduhin na makakarating ang mga produkto sa mga customer ng maayos! So before you make the announcement that you’re ready to sell, better to check what delivery methods are available and are within your reach—at wala rin namang kakulangan sa options.

Madami ng delivery services available ngayon, para sa mga maliit na order at sa mga malalaki. May mga options na rin tayo na i-schedule ahead of time ang mga deliveries, pero may rush options rin para sa mga customers na hind talaga magapaghintay sa mga masasarap na produkto mo!

 

Invest and re-invest

Starting a business—any business—requires capital o yung pera para makapagsimula. Walang dalawang negosyo na pareho ang kailangan na capital, dahil depende ito sa kakayanin ng business owner at, syempre, ang produkto mismo.

So sa simula palang, be prepared to make the investment sa sarili mong pangarap. At pag ikaw ay nakakapag benta na, remember to re-invest in your business, too. Ang ibig sabihin lang naman ay kailangan pagisipan ang pagiwan ng konting puhunan galing sa kita natin para hindi na ulit magdadagdag ng capital.

Think long-term when it comes to spending your profit.

It might be intimidating at the beginning, but there really is a lot to think about before stating you own online business. Pero kung gaano man nakakatakot magsimula, mas maganda pa rin ang return sa inyo. Kailangan lang simulan.

What you can do to market your online business and get more customers!

If the last 12 months have taught us anything, it’s that being online is important for any and all businesses. It’s how they stay top-of-mind—at nakakatulong ang social media para makilala at matandaan ang mga negosyo. At kung natatandaan ang negosyo natin, mas madali tayo makakabenta!

Ano ba ang kailangan para makapagsimula sa online marketing? Easy lang at wag matakot; may mga tips para tayo ay makapagbenta even better!

 

Tip #1: Be present on social media

Everyone has their own preferred social media platform, whether that’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok—at kung nasaan man ang mga customers at potential customers, dapat nandun din tayo.

Ang unang step ay ang paggawa ng mga social media accounts. At kung saan pwede, ang username na gagamitin ay iisa lang across all platforms para mas mabilis hanapin ang online negosyo natin kahit saan. Ang social media ay isa ring way para makipagusap sa mga interested buyers; hindi na kailangan magpa-landline!

 

Tip #2: Be consistent

Pag meron ng social media account ang negosyo, kailangan natin gumawa ng social media calendar. Tandaan natin na kung walang activity ang mga account, hindi ka makikita ng mga followers at customers.

The best practice for businesses is to post multiple times a day, which might be difficult, especially if you’re also trying to stay on top of your production process. So kahit one post a day lang ang kaya ay okay na, basta may makita pa rin ang followers at masasabi na active ang negosyo page.

 

Tip #3: Change things up

We will admit: posting everyday may become difficult—pero may trick dyan! Tandaan lang that there are other things to post than just photos of the negosyo product.

Para maiba naman ang nakikita sa feed at para maging unique ang content against competitors, consider posting other aspects of your negosyo. Pwedeng ang proseso, tulad ng pagluluto o pagpackage ng mga benta. Pwede rin ang pagbili ng kailangan, para makita ng customers kung paano pinipili ang pinakamaganda at pinaka sariwang ingredients. Paminsan-minsan, pwede rin mag post ng simpleng tanong sa page, tulad ng “Anong flavor ng leche flan ang pinakagusto mo?” o “Anong prutas ang masarap kasama ng gatas?” Hindi natin alam, baka may sagot ang customer na pwedeng-pwede i-try sa negosyo! Kung dati ay buko salamig lang ang nasa isip mo, pero pwede rin pala ang strawberry samalamig!

At kung meron positive reviews, share na rin sa feed. Pero syempre, importanteng hindi makalimutan ipakita ang mga produkto.

 

Tip #4: Keep your customers in the loop

Customer service has the potential to make or break your online business, so it’s important that your customers always know what’s happening.

Ang social media ay isang way para makipagusap sa mga customers ng diretso. Sagutin ang mga DMs na pumapasok; baka may tanong sila sa product mo o nagtatanong lang kung kailanan pwede i-expect and delivery. Hindi natin alam, baka magoorder sila ng madami at chinecheck kung kakayanin.

Pwede rin gamitin ang social media para sa mga announcements, tulad ng pag-break dahil sa holidays, o kung maddelay ang isang batch ng orders. Dahil ito ay isa sa pinakamadaling way para makarating sa mga customers natin, dapat gamitin.

 

Tip #5: Think beyond social media

Pag okay na ang social media accounts ng negosyo, pwede rin tignan kung saan pa tayo pwede magpakita online. Look for forums and groups that have to do with your product, talk to other small business owners, maybe even collaborate with them for a special limited-edition offer.

Para makapag benta even better online, tandaan lang: engage with your customers, be consistent when you post and always be honest with your market. Ikatutuwa ka lalo ng followers at customers mo.

3 tips sa pagpili ng negosyo recipes

So you think it’s time to start your own online food business? As they say, there’s no time like the present to start. Pero sa dami ng pwede i-benta online at sa dami ng competition, kahit sino naman ay maiintimidate sa simula. So kung hindi ka pa nakakapagsimula, don’t worry! There is no such thing as too late. And the good thing is, we have three easy tips to help you get started.

 

Tip #1: Magsimula sa alam mo

Most successful businesses start with passion. So ang unang tanong ay dapat: What can you cook? Baka leche flan recipe ni mama o yung kare-kare na speciality ni lola—basta the key is to start with what you know, what you enjoy cooking and what you love eating.

Ano ba ang lagi mong dala sa mga potluck o reunions? Ano ba ang nirerequest ng mga kamaganak mo? Kung may special occasion sa bahay, tulad ng birthday o graduation o anniversary, ano ang laging handa? Halos lahat tayo meron nyan!

Kung may sagot ka na, consider this to be your first step! Pero kung medyo newbie ka rin sa kitchen, hindi naman ibig sabihin nun ay hindi ka na makakanegosyo. There are plenty of recipes you can try and learn to make on your own, tulad ng mango ref cake, leche flan o maja blanca. You can browse through the website to get more recipe ideas!

 

Tip #2: Tingnan ang proseso

Ang next na dapat i-consider ay ang feasibility. Ito ay kung gaano ka posible gawing negosyo ang iyong chosen product. For example, the recipe should be easy enough for you to do over and over. Isa pa, kailangang madali ang pagbili ng mga kailangan na ingredients. Available ba ang mga kailangan mo bawat buwan ng taon o seasonal sila? Tignan mo rin ang mga posibleng packaging options at kung makakarating siya ng maayos sa mga customers.

In the end, these things are important to consider kase makakatulong sila sa pagsagot kung paano ka makaka-online negosyo.

 

Tip #3: Market research!

Ang next tip para sayo ay ang pag-test ng iyong product. Mag market research ka.

Gumawa ka muna ng free samples para sa mga kapitbahay, sa mga kumare o kumpare, at pati na rin sa mga kaibigan ng anak o pamangkin mo. The more the merrier! Hindi naman kailangan buong produkto ang ibigay mo—para hindi naman tayo malugi—kahit kapiraso lang para may masabi sila sa niluto mo. And if they say your sample was too small, take it as a good thing! Kase ibig sabihin, they want more.

Pero kung may masabi man sila na hindi gaano ka-positibo, tandaan lang na whatever their opinion is, we should take it as constructive criticism. If they say it is too salty or too sweet o kulang man ng lasa, adjust your product as necessary. It might be a matter of adding a little more milk lang, diba.

Remember: pwede sila rin ang bibili sayo eventually. So if they like your product, bentahan mo na sila!

Kung tutuusin, it all really just starts with one question: What’s your specialty? From there, pwede mo na pagisipan kung ano ang kailangan gawin para maging online business siya! After all, they say that the best job is one that doesn’t feel like a job at all. And if you’re working on something that you already love making at makakakita ka pa dito, then ikaw talaga ang mananalo (at syempre, ang mga happy customer!).
