    How Mcdonalds Evolved Its Marketing Strategy in India

    When McDonald's India launched in 1996, urban Indians in Mumbai and Delhi typically ate out three to fives times a month, according to AT Kearney, the management consultancy. In the 12 years since then, that average frequency has doubled and analysts forecast that by 2011 the Indian quick service restaurant market will be worth 30,000 crore (about $6.3bn at October 2008 exchange rates). But from their earliest investments in India, multinational company (MNC) owners of restaurant chains have struggled to adapt to the needs of India's many markets. Some pulled out of the country after failed ventures. At the time, consolidation of the hugely fragmented Indian retail sector had also barely begun, and there was scepticism that Indians would prefer burgers and fast food to local food offerings. However, in the intervening decade, McDonald's has continued to open new outlets in the country, evolving its marketing strategy through several phases. Twelve years of McDonald's India McDonald's India was set up as a 50:50 joint-venture between McDonald's at a global level and regional Indian partners such as Hardcastle Restaurants Private Limited in western India, and Connaught Plaza Restaurants Private Limited in northern India. The first Indian McDonald's outlet opened in Mumbai in 1996. Since then, outlets have begun trading in metropolitan and Tier II towns across the country. By September 2008, it had premises in Mumbai, Bangalore, Baroda, Pune, Indore, Nasik, Chennai, Hyderabad, Surat and Ahmedabad. Amit Jatia, Managing Director, McDonalds India, said: "The past decade has witnessed a marked change in Indian consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. Households in middle, upper, and high-income categories now have higher disposable income per member and a propensity to spend more." Phase I: Launching the brand The starting point for McDonald's India was to change Indian consumers' perceptions,…

    Marketing Mix of Mcdonalds

    Marketing mix must focus on the product, pricing, promotion, and placement of item in order to make it successful. Marketing strategies must feature customer orientation, input, and accessibility in the fight to the top of the market. McDonald's is no different. An example of this is illustrated with a comparison of McDonalds and Wendy's. At first glance, they may appear to have roughly the same marketing mix and target markets. Both are fast food and provide similar products. However, looking closer, one can recognize that McDonald's primary target market is children ages 3-11 and their parents. McDonald's understood that the parent was making the purchasing decision, most likely based on price.…

    Mcdonald's Business Strategy

    A key element of McDonald's strategy since the beginning has been the policy of the company to own all property on which a McDonald's outlet was built, regardless of whether that location was franchised or company-owned. Rental income varies from property to property, but it has been estimated that McDonald's generates more money from its rent than from its franchise fees. McDonald's real estate holdings and rent generated from these holdings are an important component of the company's value and income. McDonald's is unique in the fast-food industry in that it owns much of its real estate. In most cases, McDonald's restaurants are located on prime high-traffic real estate that is highly visible and easily accessible. McDonald's conditions for a franchise location include a corner lot with at least 35,000 square feet of land whose entrance and exit were facilitated by a traffic light. McDonald's also earns money by marketing excess land. The company was also testing new methods for raising revenue, such as selling retail merchandise in certain stores.…

    The story of McDonald’s began in 1940 when Dick and Mac McDonald open their first car hop in San Bernardino, CA which had a large menu and employees served customers while they sat in their vehicles. In 1948 the brothers redesigned the location to include a walk-up self-service counter and drive-in, simplified the menu to only 9 items and opened a second location. In addition to burgers and fries, the McDonald’s brothers served milkshakes made with an appliance called a Multimixer which they bought from a salesman by the name of Ray Kroc, who, in 1949 visited the brothers in San Bernadino to supply them with additional Multimixers.…
