Whereas, 90 people do recognize that they do have rounded and heavy body which is obese and this statistics have proven that more than half of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor citizen do have an obese problem.
This questionnaire is more towards a public perception regarding their health and appearance. This is important to see how particular is a person to find alternative in ensuring their health and physical appearance to be perfect along the journey of life. For the time being, 10 of them who says No is actually people aged 16-20 who not really concern about their health since they do feel that they are still young and not being able to worried about the matters since their parents is already keep in track about their level of health. The others 140 who answered this question always concern about their health and appearance to actually gain a healthy life with true fitness.

This question is important to investigate how public’s concern into getting a product for their fitness. In the same time, we could identify the real target market that need to be approach.
After analyzing the real target audience for the slimming product, this is the time where we could identified which type of slimming product publics prefer so that we could push more on this item so that it reach directly based on market demand. Based on the analysis, 6 of them would prefer to use patches that are easily sticks to the external part of their skin. The other 9 would prefer to use slimming lotion that is hot to burn up their calories. The next 10 prefer to drink slimming tea to help in ease of their bowel system.

This question is created to see the popularity of each product based on their marketing strategy. The most well known product among publics is Jusmate 5 that gets highest rating which is 90 people that have interest into getting their product. The second highest with 40 people would be Leesa Formula since they have invest more in television commercial and also promote it during women’s talk show program. The third highest were equal to both slimming company which is Natasya and Sendayu Tinggi. The reason behind this is because Natasya is better known to its skincare product whereas Sendayu Tinggi is better known in cosmetics products.
