Mang Jose and Mang Tano are both bamboo craft
makers. Renato observed that more people are buying
the products of Mang Jose.
What could be the reason why customers are attracted
to the products of Mang Jose?
One morning, he asked one of the customers of Mang
Jose the reason why they like to buy his products. The
customer replied, “the products of Mang Jose are
durable, functional and more aesthetically attractive.”
Durability, functionality, and the aesthetic
appearance of the product promotes
marketability, therefore maintaining the good
quality of the product is very essential if you want
to gain more profit from selling the product. This
depends on your creativity and workmanship to
improve, enrich and make the appearance of your
product superior.
The Importance of Enhancing and Decorating the
Product
A. Attractive and More Salable

a product is enhanced and decorated it is more
appealing to the customers. Thus, resulting to more
sales and profit.
Finished products are more saleable to costumers
when enhanced and decorated.
Product
B. Durable and more beautiful
Durability of the product depends on the materials used.
We are rich of local materials in the community favorable for
project or furniture making. Once a product is enhanced
and decorated using innovative finishing materials the
product is more durable and will last longer. Finishing
materials preserve and protect the product.
Enhanced and decorated bamboo, wood and metal
products help maintain their durability against harsh
elements.
Product
C. Profitable
Profitability of the product depends on the quality of
the materials used, the workmanship and creativity of
