10. 4. Identify the gap between
customers and competition
Where is the marketing opportunity?
 There is currently no eye clinic located in Bonifacio
High Street which targets class A-B-C and offers
quality care and state of the art equipment
What NWDs are not being addressed?
 Accessible location
 Homey environment
What is the unique selling proposition?
 Hospital care in a homey environment

11. 5a. Estimate the market size
using competitor data
Based on interviews and online research, each
competitor has between 5 to as much as 20
scheduled cataract surgeries per day.

12. 5b. Estimate the market size
using company data
Company is theoretical, no data on market size
yet.
However, theoretically the company’s expected
market size would be a percentage of the
current market size of St. Lukes Global City,
it’s closest direct competitor.

13. 5c. Estimate the market size
using customer data
1. Usage per day or per year
 Twice in a lifetime
 Elderly in the household

Technically speaking, everyone will be
eligible for cataract surgery because
cataracts are part of the normal aging
process of the eye

14. 5. Decide on market size in
pesos, not in number of
people
1. Competitor data= 900,000 in 1 month
(low estimate, 5 procedures/day),
2.7M in 1 month (high estimate, 15
procedures/day)
2. Company data = N/A
3. Customer Usage data = N/A

15. 6a. Photo of product category

16. 6b. Product Description
The product is quality, safe, and state of
the art phacoemulsification cataract
surgery in a comfortable and homey
clinic setting that is accessible to our
target market (mall placement).

17. 7. Price
 Ideal theoretical price would be P30,000-
45,000/procedure
 This would be more affordable than St. Luke’s which
is the closest competitor, and also more affordable
than other private tertiary hospitals.
 40% price difference in comparison with St. Luke’s
 The price range would be similar to other mall clinics
that offer the same service such as American Eye
and Mega Clinic.
 0-10% price difference in comparison with other clinics.
 Pricing Strategy: Price matching and Target Return
