Go Negosyo
Thankfully, it’s not all bad news on the homefront. Credit must be given to the few that deserve it. We are not all crabheads, some people actually lead. Take Joey Concepcion and his advocacy, Go Negosyo!
Joey is successful and confident enough that he can afford to encourage potential competition. I am sure no one would be happier if any one of his disciples would become so successful that it would even challenge his own business empire.
This is the hallmark of true success. When you are that successful you don’t even worry about the competition anymore. Look at Meralco, if you can monopolize your market like that, you might even need to advertise calling on consumers to use less of your product.
Inspired, my brother and I are working on a business idea of our own. We are thinking we could commercially market his wife’s delicious puto pao. It’s not the regular rice bread stuffed with meat, mind you. It is the quintessential adobo for stuffing accentuated by the local luxurious delicacy kesong puti for topping.
One last kink we still have to work on is the price. My sister in-law spared no expense when formulating her recipe. Fifteen pesos per bite-sized piece, we project, is a just little out of reach of the mass market.
Maybe we can rent a stall in the Makati Business District? You know, right beside SM Makati where the shawarma stalls are at. That might be the trick. Watch for it, one of these days, we shall open our first store -- Adobo Putoshop 1.0.

Adobe Putoshop! That's very witty :) Now I'm craving for Putopao.. Where do I get one here in the boondockssssssssss... Ugh!
ReplyDeleteIt's ADOBO putoshop. Hehe. My brother and I were semi-serious with that for awhile. Sarap talaga ng puto-pao ng wife nya.
ReplyDeleteOooops Adobo nga pala. LOL. Penge?
ReplyDeleteWhen we open our first store, you will be the first to be invited for the freebies. Sadly, right now, the formulation for the adobo puto is TOP secret. Baka manakaw ng mafia. Alam mo na. =D
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'd like to market myself as an RPG-player for hire. Pwede akong maging kalaro. :)

ReplyDeleteDude, why not sell dinuguan to go beautifully with the puto? Hehehe. Or if its not feasible, you might wanna consider setting up shop near or most probably besides a Goldilocks outlet. But they also sell puto so its a bad idea. hehehe.
Fifteen Pesos would be too much for the working class, yes. So if you'll target a better earning class, maybe you should also consider packaging. Just look at "Pringles". Its just potato chips but the packaging makes it feel special so they could sell it at a higher price.
Another example would be computer parts. The box gets too big that if you finally assemble them, you'd not believe how small the final product would be. Hehehe.
Maybe you could package it onto nice, hand-woven baskets or trays. (from hand woven, recycled newspapers. Probably made in Marikina.)
And don't forget the cutesy ribbon. Let's face it. The ones who'd probably be buying would be women... and if you do get a lotta men amongst your clientele, you could give them the choice of either a cutesy ribbon or a picture of the latest bombshell. That oughta do the trick.
