INTRODUCTION
they are very fond of documenting every single thing that they do like eat, drink, and even
when they go out on trips and those pictures are now usually uploaded to the different
social media sites we have today. It became a way of expressing one’s self, capturing
unforgettable moments, and reliving a memory but instead of just having a soft copy of
those precious pictures that can easily be deleted by just a click or can be corrupted at any
moment due to the uncertainty that technology has, why not go back to the traditional,
Not needing a physical store, not having headaches for monitoring loads of
inventory, and not stressing out while doing the work, photo booth businesses caught the
attention of the proponents. With this, the proponents came up with a Profitmaking Project
(PP) that will be named “4 Clicks, 1 Pic”. From the name itself, 1 printed copy will contain 4
different shots. Since some people just take pictures during special or formal occasions, this
PP aims to take pictures of people on normal days in the tourist spots found in Albay to
capture the moment that becomes special because of who they share these moments with
that can either be their friends, families, or their loved ones. It will be a rolling photo booth
that will be travelling and will be setting up at certain landmarks in Albay. All of the people
in the place where the rolling photo booth will be set up is encouraged and invited to avail
the product. There will be a variety of props to be used, and there are certain layouts to
With this, people can document their normal day in an extraordinary way,
and adults can also evoke the nostalgic time where pictures are printed and are not seen in
Rationale
A feasibility study wouldn’t be complete without undergoing the market aspect. This
specific aspect is needed to determine the extent to which the products or services that will
be generated by the project are needed or demanded. This will also give a hint if the
proposed project will be a success or a fail. This chapter includes the target customers of

Definition of Terms
Demand – it is the amount of goods that consumers or buyers are willing and capable to
buy for a specific time period while everything else stay the same.
Demand Analysis – it is the research into the desire of consumers for a particular product
or service. It used to identify who wants to buy a given product, how many units they are
likely to pay for it, how many units they might purchase, and other factors that can be used
to determine product change, selling cost and advertising strategy for a product.
Price – A value that will purchase a finite quantity, weight, or other measure of a good or
Supply – it is the total amount of a product (good or service) that the producers are willing

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the sampling design and methodology used in conducting the
study. Moreover, this chapter also includes the population identity, population size, size
Sampling Design
To determine the sample size of the total number of respondents, the proponents
made used of the random sampling method. The sample size of the total number of
Population Identity
The population of this proposed project came from the residents of Albay.
Population Size
There are about 1,314, 826 inhabitants in the province of Albay as of 2015.
According to the 2015 census, Legazpi City has a population of 196,639 and Camalig, Albay

The proponents determine the sample size or the number of respondents by using
the formula n= N/1+Ne2. The proponents came up with the total of 100 respondents
Research Strategy
The proponents conducted a survey in order to attain the purpose of this study. To
know if there are possible demands to this project that will be launched and to evaluate the
feasibility of the business, this strategy was used. Also, through researching and interviews,
Instrumentation

attain the information needed to achieve this study. The proponents made it certain that
The proponents conducted a survey to the sample size of the total population of the
residents of Albay to know if the business is feasible enough for the respondents to avail
the service or not. This will serve as a basis if there will be a demand in the service that will
be given. The proponents also used the internet in gathering essential and related
information.
The proponents also visited the following persons and offices to gather data for the
The proponents projected the number of tourists and residents by using the growth
rate from the past few years. The three locations where the business will operate are in
Sumlang Lake, Quituinan Hills in Camalig Albay and Legazpi City Boulevard. The data
presented from the year 2015 until present are the ones to be computed to get the growth
rate which will be used in projecting the number of tourists and residents in the three
locations stated.

CHAPTER 3
This chapter shows the gathered data which has been analysed and interpreted for
the fulfilment of this study. It contains the service description, uses of the service, the
target market, the location of the service, the demand for the service, the different market
and promotional strategies, the price of the product and its pricing scheme.
Service Description
The proponents observed that people now a days are fond of taking pictures where
ever they may be to capture the moment. These pictures they take are only kept in their
albums within their phones or other gadgets and are sometimes posted online but
technology has its disadvantages. Those pictures that are continuously stored within
gadgets have no assurance to last and still be present after some years due to some
circumstances that humans cannot control. As a solution to the uncertainty of the pictures,
the proponents have come up with an idea to make those memories as a hard copy
The proposed project entitled “4clicks, 1pic” would be a rolling photo booth that will
be going around the visited tourist attractions that Albay offers specifically Legazpi
Boulevard, Sumlang Lake and Quituinan Hills. This project would serve as an accessible way
to have a hard copy of the costumers’ photos that can serve either as a souvenir for the
tourists or a remembrance that can also promote the home land of the people residing in
The name of the business is one of the things that must be taken into full
consideration for it is the name that will be known to the people. It has to have an impact
that will be easily remembered by the people. The name must be related to the business
thus, the proponents decided to call the proposed project “4 clicks, 1 pic”. With just 4 clicks
from the camera, a picture would be printed out containing the 4 shots of the costumers.
To produce hard copy pictures that will last a longer period of time
The target market of this service is the residents of Albay. The tourists visiting
Legazpi Boulevard, Sumlang Lake and Quituinan Hills can also avail this service which can
serve as their souvenirs. They would be the said users of the proposed project.
Location
The proponents of 4 pics, 1 click have decided to set up the photo booth in Sumlang
Lake in Camalig, Albay during mornings and will transfer either in Quituinan Hills which is
also located at Camalig, Albay or in Legazpi Boulevard during afternoons until evenings.
The location is not permanent for it is the concept that the proponents have thought of. It
will travel from place to place in order to have more possible customers.
Since this is the first ever rolling photo booth to operate, the people is not familiar
with it. Therefore, they would have no background knowledge regarding it that may affect
their decision on availing this said service. In setting up a business, you should always
know first the demand for the service or product that you will offer because without
sufficient demand, the business will not grow which will indicate that the proposed project
is not feasible. In order to know the demand for the service, the proponents conducted a
survey to some of the residents of Albay which are the main target market of this study.

After verifying the total population, which is the time that the proponents will
conduct the survey. The proponents equally distributed the survey questionnaire to the
respondents through the proponents until it reached the sample size of 100 respondents.
Out of the 100 respondents, 86 or 86% are willing to avail the service and only 14
or 14% of the respondents are not interested in availing the service. Some of the reasons
of those who are willing to avail the service states that it is because the service is
affordable, and that it can also be a way to promote the tourism of Albay, and lastly,
because it will serve as instant souvenir to the people. The remaining 14% state that they
have their own cameras or cellular phones and that they can use to take their own photos
which serves as the main reason why they will not avail the service.

materials and the manpower used to operate the said business. The following are the sizes
Each printed copy will contain four (4) different shots and will have a layout chosen
by the customer. The price will vary in size the size of the printed copy itself.
Weather
The Rolling Photo Booth will operate only during weekends and the weather on
those said days will be a big factor that will affect the number of people who will visit the
different places the photo booth will set up. There will be limited people if the weather is
not good and when the day is sunlit, there is more chance of the service being availed.
Area Development
As the area of the tourist spot develops, it has more chances of attracting and
gaining people to see the spots for themselves, which is a good sign for the said service for
Vacation/ Holidays

CHAPTER 4
Summary
The market study attempts to answer the question "Is the proposed service entitled
4clicks, 1pic feasible to the market?" The proponents conducted a survey to look if there is
a demand to be found for the service. The data gathered are used to propose the demand
for the service which is used to look at the comprehensive demand for the service.
The market study also addresses the factors that influence the market and
Conclusion
The market study desires to examine the demand for the service. There is a high-
level percentage of eagerness to use the service which is a vigorous sign in the continuing
proposed project.
Results and Findings show that going into this kind of service is very commendatory
and favourable as supported by the data gathered by the proponents in the previous
discussion.
CHAPTER 5
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed project entitled 4clicks, 1pic will be the only existing PP that will offer
the kind of service to the target market that is why it is recommended to be launched in
Legazpi City Boulevard, Sumlang Lake and Quituinan Hills located in Camalig Albay. These
places are known as some of the most visited spots by tourists because of its ambiance and
good location. There is a high possibility of making this project a success as supported by
the data shown in the previous discussion. The most essential part is the proper execution
of the project and the standards to be placed on it. The proponents and the respondents
recommend that the Rolling Photo Booth will only operate during weekends to maximize
profit and minimize cost since people are usually busy on weekdays and only have their
If the proposed project will be successful, then the proponents and the respondents
recommend that this service must be offered to the Department of Tourism so that it can
be a huge asset to any event or tourist spot, help preserve memories and can print all the
photos taken at the same time and Increase recognition of tourism as an effective and
