Why You Should Eat Bananas 

Bananas thrive abundantly mostly in countries like the Philippines, where the climate is relatively warm, and the seasons are either dry or rainy. Over a hundred different varieties of bananas grow in the country. At least 12 species of bananas are known to be widely cultivated and produced as both export and import products. These include the Lakatan, Saba, Señorita, Cavendish, and Morado cultivars, among others.

This finger-shaped fruit is full of nutritional value, some of which are fiber and potassium. The fiber content found in bananas is good for our body’s digestive system. It generally cleanses out the toxins in our intestines and helps regulate our bowel movement. Moreover, its rich potassium content also regulates the body’s fluid balance and stabilizes our electrolyte content for our heart and muscles.

    In my own opinion, since Banana Chips is a new product of Merczi and upon reading the article about Banana and Banana Chips, it has really a great impact not only to the consumers but also to our farmers. Now that we are experiencing this pandemic, Merczi can manage their new product; The Banana Chips by continuing the production of this and as we all know bananas have a lot of nutritional values so instead of eating unhealthy food, consumers can divert eating banana chips rather than junk food. The company can gather together and discuss few things like give promos or freebies to the consumers and I think this will be a catch to them because people now are saving. Merczi is not just helping their company but also the consumers and our farmers.

    1. Keep track of your buyers and or resellers-need to communicate with them effectively online or thru text messages of the office hours and product update like if there are discounts or promotions.
    2. Identify areas of improvement-this is to evaluate if marketing strategy is effective such as advertisements.

    For me the best thing to do to manage the Merzci Banana Chips is to sell more, like offering it to more buyers like sari2x store owners, online sellers and mall owners to resell this product to more consumers. Also it can help also by posting online and boosting the Facebook Page of Merzci, in this way more Facebook users may see this page and they can check out the Merzci products.

    1. what is the best thing to do to manage the product this time of pandemic Ans: lets try to utilize a social media management app to keep all social platforms up to date or create graphics and images that catch the reader’s attention. Many people scroll through their social media fairly quickly, so that the post have to be short and to the point to make them realize that the product is right for them. Don’t make your content “business as usual”, either, instead tailor your posts and other content to the pandemic and offer support to your customer.

    The best thing to do to manage the product at this time of pandemic is to advertise and introduce it online. Since the pandemic cut down a lot of budget in any company now, and I believe to Merzci too, the best option to let the people know about a new product is to make noise on social media. Less expense and more appearance to the target market. Especially, story that’s inspiring and that has a little drama really creates noise on social media and since people are usually at home now and online. So, for me that’s really the best way to be noticed and advertise it is through social media.
