Project SAUP
OBJECTIVES:
This project aims to modernize the indigenous reach in terms of marketing their
produce.
This project specifically aims to:
A. Educate the Aeta brothers and sisters on how they can use different platforms in
advertising their products.
-These aetas has already a small amount of knowledge in using phones and different
technologies, and that small knowledge has a potential to grow. We as a group, we want to
be part of giving and helping these small community to utilize what they already know and
to broaden that knowledge. We will be introducing them different platforms where they
can put out there their products so that it can reach wider audiences or potential buyers
and hopefully with the help of these platforms, aetas can reap what they sow such as more
incomes.
C. Empower their market reach and reintroduce their products to the mass.
-After all of the teachings and sharing of information to these aetas, it’s now time to
showcase their product to the public. From traditional, now we will leap their products
to modern way. We cannot promise that it will be the grandest, but it will be simple yet
helpful and approve in the eyes of the public. At the end of the day, small act or big, we
will do our best to achieve development in the livelihood of these aetas and it will be our
greatest honor to be part of this development.
DESCRIPTION:
The way they sell their products is one issue that comes up in our chats. They come from a small,
isolated community, so their influence is relatively limited. Up to the current technological era, they
have sold their items using a traditional approach, notably paglalako. Ate Annabelle (one of the aeta
members) acknowledged that they are struggling to sell their products, despite the fact that they
already have a sizable market, simply because of a lack of marketing education and exposure to
other marketing channels, such as social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
We chose this project because we are communication students, and most of us, if not experts, have
a huge knowledge of technologies since we grow in a digital era. Possible communication strategies
that we can use in our application of the business side, more on digital marketing. In this way, Aetas
will not only settle on what they already practiced, but we want them to provide and to go outside
their comfort zone for their livelihood to develop and catch up with the world trend and
modernization.
TIMELINE:
-PROBLEM: LACK OF
EDUCATION AND
EXPOSURE IN USING
PLATFORMS SUCH AS
FACEBOOK, TWITTER,
ETC. IN MARKETING
THEIR PRODUCTS.
-Group meeting and planning for our first visit. We need to list down our questions before
going there and we want to interview them so that we can plan actions and materials ahead
before jumping to the final day which is the target day of seminars and training.
-On-site visitation. We want to experience it on our own to really see the problems they are
encountering in their livelihood. We will observe and list down all of these problems to
apply for solutions and help.
-Lastly, going again on the community to conduct the final output where we will apply all of
the knowledge and plans we have prepared for them.
-After that, we will conduct reviews if we were able to succeed in our project, if not, we
plan to still do another take on visiting them, but if our project became successful, we can
communicate to the aeta communities online since they are already knowledgeable about
it. We will still support them and visit them once in a while.
