Since the opening of Chick-Fil-A, they have received over 2 billion dollars in sales. The company’s great recipe for success is due to the marketing strategy of product, price, place, and promotion. The additional two P’s, purpose and people, also give a hand in the success. Purpose, guiding the company’s strategy planning process, and people, being key to implementing strategy. For the company, product itself is the fact that the food is made fresh every day, only making just enough inventory to sell. They found that customers reward great product. Since Chick-Fil-A makes their product, using the very best resources they can, the customers are willing to pay full price. Keeping the customers in mind, the restaurant keeps a simple, yet high quality menu. The simple chicken sandwich with the two crucial pickles set the tone for the menu. The restaurant keeps a two-prong approach to their menu, referring to it as a menu of choice, providing nutritional goals of health, (grilled chicken, wraps, salads, etc.) and other items for those less focused on that approach, (milk-shakes, waffle fries, classic chicken sandwich). Keeping these elements has developed a loyal customer following for the food chain. Customers have proven that they’ll pay full price for a quality meal, therefore, Chick-Fil-A continues with their succeeding marketing strategy. As said in the video, “pricing is not just about the product itself, it’s about the overall experience, meaning that if you give the customers what they pay for, they will continue to use your business.…
They even have some indulgent items like their milkshakes. When it comes to price, the loyal customers are willing to pay full price for quality meals. Chick-fil-A “charge only enough profit to satisfy the cost” to keep the business thriving. It also highlights the fact that the price is not all about the product itself but the overall experience which includes the service, cleanliness of the restaurant and the speed of the employees. Chick-fil-A experienced growth over the years and is flourishing in 38 states with around 1,300 stores. They are located in the malls and most of them are free standers. Chick-fil-A does have many franchises spread out across the nation too. Chick-fil-A partnered up with The Richards Group that came up with the “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign and is said to be the best marketing strategy. They rely on their quirky and renegade cows that sends a self-preserving message to get consumers to choose chicken over beef. They also entertain consumers with their hilarious roadside billboard and calendars that comes with coupons. Not only that, the mascots do get personal with the customers during events and such. The cows is said to be 1 of the 3 things they like about Chick-fil-A. The purpose reflects its…
It all started in 1990 in the small town of Statesboro, Georgia near Georgia Southern University. Childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley came up with the idea of Zaxby’s. The restaurant is only open for lunch and dinner and the menu is built around chicken wings and chicken tenders with sandwiches and salads, or “Zalads”, made with the same fried or grilled tenders. They offer a wide assortment of wing…
What Steven Ells began with a small taqueria in Denver, Colorado in 1993, one may not have foreseen this venture to become the fastest growing restaurant chain in the last decade. By 2006, Ells’ idea made its initial public offering with 535 restaurants throughout the world. Things were going tremendously well for CMG until late afternoon on October 18, 2012 when Ells finished receiving the company’s third quarter results. While data indicated an overall satisfactory outcome, it was the competition from Yum Brands’ Taco Bell and their recent launch of the Cantina Bell menu that would result in what seemed to be the onset of a major problem.…

1a. There are several reasons BBC should focus on the light beer market. It is true that their sales were decreasing from year to year but I think there is nothing wrong with the product itself. The problem is on the marketing and management system. It was proved from the result of the consumer taste survey. Most of people said that lightship beer had better taste, better color and smell compare to Bud light, Coors Light, and Amstel Light and the result stated that lightship beer was in the first place. We got almost the same result from the blind test that is held in several countries including USA and Canada. Another important reason is the demand for the light beer is relative high from the consumers. People said that the advantage of drinking light beer because it contains lower calorie. Based on the field study, light beers accounted for five of the top ten best-selling beers in supermarkets. So, it is very pity if BBC stops producing light beer.…

Finally, after reading the book, our group have learned a few key points about IN-N-OUT strategy. First, the company maintained the steady rate of expansion with traditional menu.
