Marketing Objectives

KFC is the leading food chain in the world, which is going to spread its business in various other countries. This food chain industry wants to provide such facilities to its clients with the provision of fresh and healthy food, which can meet their requirements and also take less time to serve them.

Segmentation, targeting, positioning in the Marketing strategy of KFC

KFC (Kentucky Fried chicken) uses demographic segmentation to serve the market as per the customer needs & wants. The consumers of KFC are the young as well as young adults.

It used to serve the same menu all around the world which means that it was using undifferentiated targeting strategy. However, in recent times, following McDonald’s example, KFC has started localizing its menu, giving it better acceptability in the market. Moreover it has transformed its positioning strategy from product based to value based in recent times.

KFC is strongly positioned in the minds of consumers for its Chicken menu. There are very few outlets which serve anything in vegetarian. But when it comes to non-vegetarian, KFC is just superb. Its chicken wings, and chicken bucket is a favorite with everyone. This excellent targeting technique is the reason that most non vegetarian lovers flock at KFC.

I think strategy of KFC will succeed in achieving objectives because they are following Shotgun strategy to target all age customer helps to focus on one segment where target audience of the business is too diverse.

As per our research we think that the advertising strategies which the KFC is using right now are not enough so, we will advertise on magazine too to attract more customers. we will also make a KFC application for the phone users which will attract the customers more towards KFC and in that app there will be promotional codes and discounts to the loyal customers of KFC and all customers will get chance to earn points through that application.

History

Under armour is a genuinely youthful organization. In 1995, the unique group’s commander for the University of Maryland's football crew, Kevin Plank, saw that the cotton T-shirts that the group wore underneath their cushions and other rigging were splashed with sweat before the finish of a game or practice. After he graduated, he was resolved to build up a T-shirt that would remain light during outrageous warmth.

Online Advertising

After he built up a model, he gave the examples to a couple of his companions who had proceeded to play in the NFL. After he got some criticism, he returned to take a shot at his T-shirt and delivered a shirt that was made of microfiber that would retain dampness while keeping the competitors cool, light, and dry. He at that point continued to max out his Visas and start-up his business in his grandma's business in Washington, DC. Following a time of creation, he made his first group deal to Georgia Tech. Word immediately spread about the new brand, and various NFL groups bought from Plank. Before long, the organization moved their central station to South Baltimore where they kept on building up their well-known lines of apparatus. Today, Under Armour makes the most inventive sportswear clothing and footwear. (Brown, 2013)

They additionally post forthcoming occasions that the organization is putting on, incorporating deals on the web and in stores. Under Armour’s site likewise does a lot of showcasing. At the point when you go to their site, you are in a split second eye to eye with strong hues and text styles. This pulls in the peruse and makes you need to explore all through the site. For instance, there is right now a free dispatching advancement going on. The standard advertisement for this is a neon-green shading with dark text style. Because of the striking hues, it was the main thing that grabbed my attention. In conclusion, Under armour does a lot of promoting on sports clothing destinations, for example, Dick's Sporting Goods. At the point when you go to the 'top brands' area under 'attire', under armour is the second recorded. When you get to Under Armour’s page, you quickly observe pictures of individuals playing different games. This shows the brand covers everybody's needs. (Brown, 2013)

Under armours does the greater part of their incorporation and item positions in sports-related TV shows and films. In the wake of doing some burrowing, I found that Under Armour does a lot of coordination with the prevalent TV show Friday Night Lights. In a scene disclosed in 2009, there was an Under Armour agent selling gear. He was depicted like a decent, accommodating man. By the agent being pleasant, individuals would get the feeling that all Under Armour salesmen are on the whole like that. This would get individuals into their stores and purchase their items.

Sports Teams

Under armour does a lot of showcasing with sports groups. They even have a site where mentors can jump on and structure their group's uniform! By permitting secondary school groups, proficient groups, and even club sports groups to utilize their items, it gives the brand a constructive notoriety and shows individuals that the brand can be trusted. Under armour have exceptionally particular advertisements on TV. More often than not they are intense, yet persuasive and interesting. They generally highlight some popular competitor and at times don't make reference to the name of the competitor. By doing this, individuals are spurred to get out and remain dynamic. The following is a video for one of Under Armour’s running/preparing shoes. They support sports groups, place their items in TV shows, and make items for everybody. So next time you are hoping to purchase increasingly athletic attire, consider Under armour.
