Students – These are the college students of the university, heterogeneous when it comes to defining their courses and in terms of demographics, there is no limit on the age bracket and there is no gender bias.
With this market, the proposed business would have an advantage, since the target market is readily available and has the buying power, thus, with significant calculations and marketing strategies, the business would be profitable.
But the proponents are not limiting the possibilities of having other markets such as walk in clients like parents of grade school, faculty and staffs and others.
Nature of Demand The total population of the desired market is 3,598 based from the enrolment data of 2nd semester, S.Y. 2012-2013 for ADZU College students.

Projected Demand
The projected demand of the proposed spa business was derived from multiplying the 56% which represents those respondents who have already been to a spa to the total population of the target market. For the succeeding operating years a 2% average increase in population growth rate of the college students was applied (this is based on a 10-year average increase, see Annex A for the computation).
