High quality cakes with high demand
A good setting provided with comfortable seats for customers to enjoy slowly

lower as the cakes are partially sponsored
Backofen’s business is footed but our business has mobility.

As the stalls are clustered at one hallway, customers have many options to choose
from the other food stalls

8. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING
1. MAIN INCOME : WEB PAGE DESIGNING
Upon having the opportunity to recreate a web page for S3 LAND SDN BHD, we took
the initiative to provide the service as we have the required graphic designing skill set
from one of our teammates, Hariish Kumar.
PRODUCT FEATURE :
Graphic designers usually charge an amount of RM3,000 and above for a very basic
web page design using an old server system which makes the page not very
attractive.
We had came up with a service that only charge RM2,500 for a trendy yet functional
design for the company. We offered a good service with a reasonable charge.
PACKAGING :
9. The whole web page is recreated from scratch, featuring user-friendly one-click systems
and enhanced graphics. The setting is also renewed from dull to attractive. We registered
a new domain for the client www.s3land.com
10. 2. TARGET SALE : CAKES
We provide customers with 3 choices of Backofen manufactured cakes namely butter
cake, 2 in 1 swiss roll ( pandan & strawberry ) and chocolate moist cake.
PRODUCT FEATURE :
11. The cakes are sold fresh as the remaining cakes are given away for free after business
hours to show customers that stocks are renewed every selling day.
Backofen’s owner, the manufacturer also sponsored RM0.80 per cake selling us at a
price of RM2 per cake which was originally priced at RM2.80. The quality of food is
good provided with welcoming feedback by the consumers.
PACKAGING :
The cakes are wrapped on 3 sides with aluminium cake wrapper so that customers would
keep their hands clean while enjoying the cakes. Transparent plastic cases are used for
visibility of the cakes to the customers while protect the 4cm x 7cm cake from
contamination. The cases are also very lightweight to be easily carried around and can be
easily crushed when being disposed thus saving space inside rubbish bins.
3. PASSIVE INCOME : PS4 GAME PLAY
We provide entertainment within the campus by bringing in the PS4 game play screened
12. on a 32 inch Sony LCD screen.
PRODUCT FEATURE :
We provide entertainment for students during class transitions.
Every player is provided with 3 game choices, FIFA15, COD and NBA 2K15. We
charged RM3 per 15 mins for every player.
PACKAGING :
We prepare chairs for the customers and also for their friends who were there to watch
them play to join the fun. If customers want to play a 1 on 1 game but he/she did not
come in a pair, we would arrange our teammates who are good in those games to play
with the customers. Music is also provided for the customers to enjoy when indulging
themselves in the game.
13. PRICING

SELLING PRICE : RM2,500
COST PRICE : RM0
ESTIMATED HIGHEST PROFIT : RM2,500
STRATEGY :
A. OPTIMIZING OPPORTUNITIES

14. 2. CAKES
SELLING PRICE : RM5 X 210 UNITS
COST PRICE : RM2 X 210 UNITS
ESTIMATED HIGHEST PROFIT : RM630
STRATEGY :
A. LOWERING SELLING PRICE
Compared to prices of cakes sold in campus, our price is RM2 cheaper than that of
their cheapest cake priced at RM7.
To increase sales as stocks would expire, we came up with a package of RM12 for 3
cakes which is RM4 per cake, lesser than the original price of RM5 by RM1.
B. STARTING EARLY
On a Thursday 13th November 2014, 4 days before the official beginning of the
Charity Drive Event, we started selling 50 units.
We approached customers one by one on foot, splitting into 2 teams, a team of 2 and
a team of 3.
We tried every possibility, every passer-by.
We did this to allocate the right timing to sell the cakes, the peak selling time is
during 12.30pm to 1.30pm. The time when staffs and students are going to have
lunch.
We noticed that the chocolate moist cakes finish fast.
C. SUPPLY ACCORDING TO THE DEMAND CURVE
After finish stocks of 50 chocolate moist cake, 50 butter cake and 50 two-in-one
swiss rolls, we ordered another 60 cakes but this time only one flavour, chocolate
moist.
60 chocolate moist cakes were sold finish during that day itself which was a Tuesday
18th November 2014, as it had a very welcoming response.
15. 3. PS4 GAME PLAY
SELLING PRICE : RM3 PER PERSON (15 MINS)
COST PRICE : RM0
ESTIMATED HIGHEST PROFIT : RM480
STRATEGY :
A. PASSIVE INCOME
We have noticed that game stations are one of the most frequented business during
other charity drive events.
With a low price of RM3 per player, mostly 2 players per game of 15 mins, we can
generate RM6 every 15 mins which means RM24 per hour.
We chose to have a game station as apart from selling cakes on foot in 2 teams of 2
people, we can allocate 1 teammate to collect passive income while we were
physically outside of the competitor’s zone.
18. We produced an A2 size poster at our stall to notify the customers of our good cause
while selling cakes. We came up with the tagline ‘ONE CAKE HELPS THREE
ORPHANAGE HOMES’ to let the customers know that our team aren’t just covering 1
but 3 orphanage homes in Klang, Shah Alam and Puchong.
19. 2. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
We advertised our cake featuring the chocolate moist flavour as it’s the most wanted
among our products. We added the tagline ‘1 CAKE HELPS 3 ORPHANAGE HOMES’
to remind the customers of our noble cause. Group leader, Chew Yu Jing also added his
personal experience in helping one of the orphanage homes back in highschool to tell
people that they can make a difference no matter where and when.
Our team also advertised our cakes online through Facebook posting on walls or in
pages to notify as many people as we can about the service of entertainment, PS4 game
play, that we provide during the charity drive event. We shared many photos and
information regarding our stall and our cause to serve the community by helping 3
21. We passed on word of mouth by telling customers that our cakes are from high
quality cake manufacturer Backofen thanks to the owner Mrs. Choo who had given us
permission. This had increased our numbers in sale as the cakes had an established name.
Because of the good brand name with a promotional price, many customers bought the
cakes whereas other peers from the same foundation programme spread the word fast.
4. THE CONSULTANT APPROACH
Our team strongly go against hard-selling that makes the customer buy something
they don’t need. Our team uses the consultant approach, presenting ourselves as
salespersons who has the customer’s best interest in mind. We never pushed a customer to
buy if they said ‘no’. We also made it an obligation to say a warm ‘Thank you’ to every
customer who did or did not buy our product or service. As we kindly serve customers,
we let them know that they have helped 3 orphanage homes around Puchong, Shah Alam
and Klang to brighten their day as the customers had done a great deed contributing to the
society.
22. SPONSORS
SPONSOR THROUGH COST SHARING
We received a sponsor of RM0.80 per cake by Backofen’s owner Mrs. Choo for 210
cakes which makes the cost sharing of RM168 from the owner herself.

The rest of the 50 cakes were brought to be sold at Taylor’s Lakeside Campus at
11am to be sold which were butter cakes and swiss rolls as chocolate moist cakes

60 units of chocolate moist cakes were ordered at 16th November 2014 as it had a
high demand.
After realizing that the peak selling hour is 12.30pm to 1.30pm, 60 units of chocolate
moist cakes were transported from USJ to Taylor’s Lakeside Campus at 11.30am to
be arranged neatly at the stall before 12.30pm.
We split into teams to sell cakes at the stall and 2 teams to sell by foot. 60 units were
sold on 18th November 2014.
3. PS4 GAME PLAY
PS4 was provided by Hariish Kumar who brought it from Puchong.
25. 32 inch Sony TV screen was provided by Chew Yu Jing from Shah Alam.
Passive income was generated from 17th to 20th November 2014.
We started the PS4 game play entertainment on 17th November 2014 at 1.30pm after
seeing that the butter cakes and swiss rolls aren’t selling well.
From Monday onward, we setup the game station at 12pm and start business till 6pm,
a 6 hour ongoing entertainment booth from Monday to Thursday.
We charged RM3 per player per 15mins game, which in theory would generate
RM24 per hour.
We chose to operate from 12pm to 6pm as that was the best time for flowing
customers as Taylorians have the most free time during that period in their schedules.
26. GREEN MEASURES
REDUCE
We reduce the usage of papers through out the whole business event using up to only
8 pieces of A4.
We communicate with the client using digital means by sending e-mails while
constructing the web page.
REUSE
We made our donation box by reusing the discarded cardboard use for architecture
projects.
We reuse pins which are on the notification board left by previous business project
stall owners.
RECYCLE
Our stall is located approximately 30 feet away from recycle bins.
We collect plastic cake containers in a whole and dispose into recycle bins when
closing shop.

1. WEB DESIGN
BEFORE
PROBLEMS
S3 Land Sdn Bhd uses web link s3land.com.my which indicates it as a local
business in Malaysia
The design is less user-friendly and not attractive
The license pay for the domain was expensive
The map on the page leads to no where as doesn’t have any GPS
connections
The graphics are outdated
Old server slows down surfing process
Information unorganized
AFTER
29. SOLUTIONS:
A new theme is given to the web page to harmonize the contents with the company
logo and vision
Photoshop graphics to make it more appealing
Mind map technique to convey important messages
Updated information
Cleaner interface
Location map connected to google maps and mobile apps
New server using WIX for a faster online surfing experience
Cheaper online registration package
2. CAKE SALES
13-16 Nov, we struggled to sell the remaining stocks of 50 butter cakes and
30. 50 swiss rolls, resulting in inability to sell without hard selling which might
cause bad reputation for our team.
A drastic drop in sales during 17 Nov is due to the incompetence of product.
Chocolate moist cakes were the hot shots, not the butter cakes or swiss rolls.
In 18 Nov, 60 chocolate moist cakes were sold within 3 hours.
To increase sales, we must adjust according to the consumer’s choice before
bringing in mass stock as unsold stocks result in profit loss.
31. 3. PS4 GAME PLAY
PS4 game play is a passive income that requires less effort and customers
would come naturally.
A variety of games bring in a variety of customers.
Theoretically we were aiming to earn RM480 within 5 days, but sales were a
bit slow.
Basically, our customers were recurring customers.
We targeted the right audience as there were many students with free time
and sufficient money to spend on our games during class transitions.
Due to having project submissions during the week, operating hours
decrease causing a loss in time to earn profit.
The timing of good flow of customers is during 12pm to 6pm.
During rainy days, there were no customers.
