Word of the day:

"MARKUP"

This means the amount added to the cost of making a product to set its selling price. It is how a business makes profit on each item sold.🍃

"CASH FLOW"

This means the movement of money going in and out of a business over time. Even if a business is profitable on paper, poor cash flow can still cause problems if money is not coming in fast enough to cover expenses.🍃

Example: if Upo Ka Muna makes big sales but customers pay late, the business might struggle to pay for ingredients even though it is technically earning money, that is a cash flow problem.

Word of the day:

"BREAK EVEN POINT"

This means the point where your total sales equal your total costs, so you are not losing money but not yet earning profit either. Past this point, everything extra becomes profit.🍃

Example: if Upo Ka Muna spends 5000 pesos to make and sell products in a month, reaching 5000 pesos in sales is the break even point, anything sold beyond that is profit.

Word of the day:

"OVERHEAD"

This means the regular costs of running a business that are not directly tied to making a product, like rent, electricity, or packaging supplies. Keeping overhead low helps a business stay profitable.🍃

Example: if Upo Ka Muna spends on storage space and utilities every month, those costs count as overhead.

04/09/2026

Word of the day:

" VALUE PROPOSITION"

This means the clear reason why customers should choose your product over others. It explains what makes your business useful, different, or better in a simple way.🍃

Example: Upo Ka Muna's value proposition could be turning an underused vegetable into a tasty, healthy snack, that is the specific value it offers customers.

03/09/2026

Word of the day:

"NICHE"

This means a small specific group of customers with particular needs, instead of trying to sell to everyone. Businesses that focus on a niche can serve that group better and stand out more easily.🍃

Example:
" Instead of selling to all food buyers, Upo Ka Muna could focus on health conscious customers looking for vegetable based snacks, that group is their niche."
