Activity Title: Conduct Simple Survey using Technology and Other
Datagathering Method
I. Introductory Concept
This Learning Activity Sheet covers simple survey using technology and other datagathering method. It
includes market trends on products made of bamboo, wood, and metals, customer’s preference of products,
types/sources of innovative finishing materials, accessories, and designs, and the processes in
enhancing/decorating finished products.
A. Readings/Discussions:
Enhancing wood, metal and bamboo products into becoming unique and attractive is another job that you
can do especially if these products are to be marketed to become an alternative source of income.
Conducting a simple survey is important to determine the market trends, customer’s preference of products
and types of innovative finishing materials, accessories and designs.
UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES:
1. Survey - look carefully and thoroughly at someone or something.
2. Technology - the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.
3. Market trend - is a perceived tendency of financial markets to move in a particular direction over
time.
4. Polyurethane – is a polymer composed of organic units joined by carbonate (urethane) links
5. Design - is a plan or specification for the construction of an object or system or for the
implementation of an activity or process.
SURVEY AND OTHER DATA-GATHERING METHOD
1) Market trends on products made of bamboo, wood
and metal. Philippine products are in demand not only
within the local market but also in the international
market. Locally manufactures products intended for the
global market have unique designs and high quality
craftsmanship that demand higher value and earn profits
for the entrepreneurs.

2) Customer’s preference of products.
Products are in the form of home
furnishings, table tops, jewelry, decorative
accessories, home accents, kitchen and garden
decors. Customers buying craft vary generally
from tourist, collectors, business people, artist or
artisans, people attending conferences and many
others.

To have marketable and saleable products,
artisan/artists and manufacturers must know their
consumers and their preferences in terms of colors, style
size, and quantity. It is also helpful to know their interests
and needs. They must be creative and adopt new design
trends for their products to be competitive in the market.

Craft artisans and entrepreneurs must adopt new marketing strategies to reach their consumers.
Specific selling strategies include focusing on customer service such as:
a. Offering free delivery
b. Repair and retouch services
c. Special promotions
It is important first to make a study of the business
and the industry. The SWOT analysis maybe
considered when thinking of a business.

3) Types/sources of innovative finishing materials, accessories and designs
MATERIALS USED TO BEAUTIFY, DECORATE AND IMPROVE
QUALITY OF FINISHED PRODUCTS
A. Finishing materials - used to smoothen the products before
decorating.
1. Varnish - often used generically for furnish or top coat. It’s
very durable because it contains a higher ratio of solids. Spar
varnish is perfect for outdoor projects and for raw wood
used for exterior doors
and trim of rustic homes. Source: Region V TLE Module Grade 6
2. Shellac - a natural product (it’s made from combining a secretion from the female lac bug with a
solvent such as alcohol) that is very safe once dried and hardened. In addition to adding a
protective coat, it also can add a warm amber
color to wood. It can be affected by heat (white
rings will appear under a hot bowl or mug) or
chemicals, so a kitchen table might not be the best
place to use it. Fine furniture items can be greatly
enhances with shellac. Some shellac
manufacturers recommend using it as a protective
coat n non-wood items. Apply it with a natural
bristle brush or with a cotton rag.

3. Lacquer - provides the extremely intense gloss finish
often used on any Asian-inspired or ultramodern furnishings.
It is extremely durable and resistant to damage; however,
over time it can begin to discolor and become scratched.
Wonder why it’s so smooth? It’s applied via a sprayer,
because it is thinner than the other finishes. You’ll need a
highvolume, low-pressure (HVLP) sprayer and a
wellventilated and spacious workspace to apply it.

4. Polyurethane Essentially a plastic in the form of a
liquid until it dries. Polyurethane is available in
both water and oil based options and comes in
varieties from satin to glossy. Water-based polyurethane is popular because of its low odor and low
toxicity. It goes on clear without adding a slight color that oil-based versions can, and it dries much
faster. As with shellac, waterbased polyurethane wont’ hold up well to heat and chemicals. It’s
good for bookcases, desks, side-table and picture frames – anything that won’t be exposed to
extremes.

4) Processes in enhancing/decorating finished products:
These were the processes that were discussed on the previous topics which includes the following:
a. Woodturning
b. Hand Curving Other Methods:
c. Pyrography
d. Flocking a. Engraving
e. Inlaying b. Etching
f. Gilding c. Texturing or embossing
g. Staining d. Metal enhancing media h. Painting
Though it is said that Filipinos are best known for their creative minds and hands, new trends in the
market, and emerging strategies and techniques must be explored to allow local products to compete in
the global market.
