thus it will stand a very high chance of improving and having a large market share. Truvision Cyber Cafe is advantaged in that
the proprietor discovered her competitors’ weakness and he is planning to capitalize. It came to her realization that, their
customers feel that they pay exorbitantly for services which is true to some extend since the cafes have taken advantage of
monopoly. The proprietor’s plan is to provide quality services at affordable prices but make profit at the same time. It also has all
factors required for emergency of substance of a business venture.
Journals, calendars, diaries, T-shirts and others and distribute them to the potential customers to ensure that the business is well
known and familiar to the locals. The firm will also use signboards and bill boards at designated place especially road junctions
outside and within the district. These methods of advertisement are meant to portray an image of quality, efficiency, and high

it will be carried out four times in a year.
a) Competitors’ price which forms most of the important pricing policy. From the competitors, the enterprise is to have direction
on how to price and retain customers
b) Consumer price in regard to the willingness and ability to obtain services by the potential customers. This is going to play a
very important role in the pricing policy. The question of at how much are customers willing and able to obtain services will to a
great extend determine the policy. This is because it will be inadvisable to price more than they are able and willing to buy.
c) Stocking and overheads. The cost of material and the overheads will be the hall-mark of pricing upon which their factors will
be added. As much as he aspires for good workmanship and quality at the end, he does also desire to scale down costs by
carrying out various management techniques such as work study aimed at reducing costs while at the same time staying effective
and efficient by offering quality services.
d) Demand and supply. Any commercial venture is related to the forces of demand and supply. The business is no exception in
this regard. If the demand proves to be higher, then he will be forced to supply more to meet the demand and the opposite is true.
The price will however take care of customers’ price factor and demand/supply factor.
The enterprise will extend credit but only to number of customers whose credit reliability is unquestionable such as
government bodies, schools, agricultural firms. In case of an increase in fee, management would inform client prior to that so as
to prepare them psychologically
