NU 12 Week 12 - Business Opportunities You Can Think of

Camille A. Dela Cruz

There are so many business opportunities now but I decided to focus on the opportunities that are not popular here in the Philippines or who don’t even exist in our country. Here are the following business opportunities I can think of:

1.      An Organic SPA located at the provinces in the Philippines.

2.      A man-made lake for Kite Boarding in Laguna.

3.      Organic Ice-cream product.

4.      A retailer store for party favors.

5.      A cleaning home service.

6.      An overnight-weekly parking space near ports and sea terminals.

7.      A stand-alone movie house in Magallanes.

8.      A day care center for working parents or working single parent located in Makati or Ortigas city.

9.    A delivery service for medicines and groceries. The third party agency can tie up with drugstores like Mercury Drug and supermarkets like SM, Robinsons, Rustans, etc. to delivergoods at the doorstep of the customer.

10.  A state of the art gym facility where different sport groups can rent or use the facilities for training and sports development.

11.  A bike rental for those who want to commute using the bike.

12.  A car wash place where there is a coffee shop (Internet included) where customers can wait.

13.  Franchise In and out burger and bring it in the Philippines.

14.  A transportation service that will bring tourist to their resort destination in the north and south Luzon area.

15.  A distribution company that will distribute popular imported alcohol liquor in the Philippines.

16.  A place where women can rent expensive bags.

17.  Library where customers can rent books and read books.

18.  A transportation service that will pick up the customer to there house and bring them to the exact destination.

NU 12 - Serendipity Walk by Kathleen Lizette C. Crisostomo

Hi Sir,

Below is my 8th NU 12 Blog - Serendipity Walk along Ayala Avenue

Thanks!

NU 12: Serendipity Walk

I work along Ayala Avenue, right in the area near Greenbelt 5.  I used to work in Salcedo Village in areas near condominium units.  Because Makati has a lot of one-way streets, a lot of employees and applicants stick only to the major roads such as Ayala Avenue and take advantage of what is readily available in the area.

I'm thinking of ways to enrich Ayala Avenue without people having to go to the malls or to the condominium areas. 

Location: Stretch of Ayala Avenue (corner Makati Avenue to corner Gil Puyat Avenue); does not cover streets at the back of Ayala Avenue such as Dela Rosa and Valero as well as nearby malls

New Business Ideas

"Sizzling Food Delight"

When I was working for a restaurant, I used to love eating at the mall's food court. I enjoyed some food selections which caters to people like me but still tastes great. There's this one franchise in the food court where they serve food using sizzling plates. Sizzling plates were popular in my earlier years but somehow they began declining the status since I don't know when.

An idea of a business concept wherein a sizzling plate is the star for every meal served may not be new. However, I have an idea of another business concept wherein people who loves Filipino dishes and those who just enjoy food in general can dine in and enjoy their meals together. Using these sizzling plates, there are a lot of new menu that can be made. Also, to be more unique and interesting to the market, the items in the menu will have fun titles. There was once a trending topic in Twitter.com where the names of the popular Filipino celebrities are turned into food names. Combining that idea with the restaurant concept will create a fun dining experience for the guests.

I created a sample menu wherein the names of popular Filipino celebrities are turned into scrumptious sizzling meals.  

MENU:

Soups and Noodles

            Shamcey SOUP-SOUP

            Anabelle RAMEN

Main Dish

            Sizzling KARE-KAREn Davila

            Sizzling BAGNET Medved

            Sizzling Jennilyn MECHADO

            Sizzling Joey De LECHON

Rice

            Zsazsa PAELLA

Desserts and other delights

            Imelda MUFFIN

            TuesCAKE Vargas

            YOGURT Bautista

            BIKO Belo

Beverage

            COFFEE JELLY de Belen

           

Thank you Sir,
