Product Anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy a wan t or need. KFCs specialty is fried chicken served in various forms. KFCs primary product is pressure-fried pieces of chicken made with the original recipe. The other chicken offering, extra crispy, is made using a garlic marinade and double dipping the chicken in flour before deep frying in a standard industrial kitchen type machine. The main products of KFC still are fried chicken but KFC tried to development new products for suitability with modern situation; the menu for health. Moreover, new menu of KFC will emphasize the taste and health. b. Price The cost of KFC products use high pricing strategy but its not high overly.

That a special menu set also is cheaper than normal. 2. Company and Marketing Strategy: Partnering to build customer relationships a. Marketing Strategy KFC used the Demographic Segmentation, Geographic segmentation, and Psychographic segmentation. In demographic segmentation, the market is divided into groups based on an age, gender, family size, income, occupation, religion, race and nationality. KFC divides the market on demographic basis in this way: Age is between 6-65. Gender is both males and females. Family size is 1-2, 3-4, 5+ Income is Rs 10,000 n above. Family lifestyle is almost all. KFC has outlets internationally and sells its products according to geographic needs of the customer. In India KFC focuses how geographically its customers demand different products. In north India Chicken is the main selling product, while in the south the Veg. items sell more than the chicken. Dividing a market into different groups based on social class, lifestyle, or personality characteristics is called psychographic segmentation. KFC divides market on the basis of psychographic variables like: Social class- Upper and Middle class. Lifestyle is not specific. Personality is ambitious and authoritarian b. Target Marketing As the outlets of KFC are in posh area and prices are too high (overhead expenses-rent, air-conditioning, employees), so KFC targets upper and middle classes. Target market depends upon size and growth rate of population, Company resources and structural attractiveness of market segment. c. Market Positioning For a product to occupy a clear, distinctive and desirable place relative to Competing products in the minds of target consumer. In KFC feedback is taken f rom the customer in order to know the customer demands and then improvements are made in products. KFC focuses on pure and fresh food in order to create a distinct and clear position in the minds of customers KFC has a strong brand name and they are leading the market in fried chicken. 3. The Marketing Environment The microenvironment consists of all forces that are close to KFC and on which KFC has an impact. They directly affect KFCs ability to serve its customer. Three major components influence KFCs m icroenvironment: a. Competition We can compare the price of their products with McDonald, Dominoes and Pizza Hut. If the competitor provides the same product at a lower price then the organization usually lowers the price of its product too. In the case of KFC, Fried Chicken is its main selling point and controls a monopoly over the Indian fast food market (only with fried chicken). It prices its burgers, French fries and soft beverages with relation to its competitors. b. Consumer KFCs customer market consists solely of the consumer market. KFCs products are bought by individuals (males, females, singles, and families).Therefore, the product range KFC offer should appeal to as many people within this consumer market as possible, to ensure that the maximum amount of products can be sold. 4. Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning : Building the right relationships with the right customers a. Segmenting Demographic Factor Age: Generally there is no age limit focus by the KFC. The target and focus is on each and every individual in a society. KFC finds its largest demographic in the young of any society. Gender: Both male and females are focused by KFC, gender does not play any role here. Household Size: This plays a vital role in the demographic factor of the KFC. Generally they target whole families rather than single persons. This being the reason for their Family Meals which are basically bundled items served at a

nominally cheaper rate. Economic Factors Income: Income is an important key factor for KFC. This factor decides which class is to be targeted. In the early rise of KFC they focused on the upper class but slowly are introducing economy meals that attract the lower to middle classes. Consumption Behavior: It estimates the behavior of people, their liking and disliking towards the pricing of the products. Behavior Factors In behavioral aspect they segmented the market on the basis of quality, taste and price. Following are the different possible segments in this regard: taste conscious, quality conscious, class conscious, and combination of price and quality. Geographic Factors On the basis of the geographical factor we have divided our market in two main segments, urban and semi urban. Political Factor The operations of KFC are affected by the government policies on the regulations of fast food operation. Currently government are controlling the marketing of fast food restaurant because of health concern such as cardiovascular and cholesterol issue and obesity among the young and children in the country. Governments also control the license given for open the fast food restaurant and other business regulation need to follow such as for a franchise business. Good relationship with government in giving mutual benefits such as employment and tax is a must for the company to succeed in any foreign market. b. Targeting Location Hectic lifestyle of individuals giving them more time at work and less stress about waiting for food. Commercialization of urban and sub-urban markets leading to more mid-sector people that find high-end eating joints very to expensive. Mid-sector people are always looking for change which KFC provides in their range of fast food. Quality conscious people in urban areas are more conscious about the quality of food than rural areas. Urban areas are more populated therefore they help with attracting higher revenues. Placement Outlets Due to KFC placing itself close to schools, colleges, cinemas and markets which are mostly populated by the young and those who are in a hurry, KFC enjoys a large number of footfalls every day. In addition, they also have outlets close to non-vegetarians (mostly Muslim populated areas). Strategy Given the competitive nature of fast food joints, KFC uses the Push Strategy to help them create awareness, be different, and sound attractive. c. Positioning Products Basically the product is anything that be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might satisfy a want or need. KFC is specially dealing in the chicken products; Basically, KFC has the special raspy for chicken products that is why, KFC known as a chicken specialist all over the globe. KFC target the Asia and East side because people like chicken product so they enter in the market due to the demand of their chicken products. KFC product variety of product in the chicken.

Branding Brand identity was defined as the customer impressions of four different KFC identity elements properties, products, presentations, and publications. A survey of young consumers in the countries (n = 795), showed that the respondents were more apt to eat within KFC restaurants, and spend more time doing so, than the Americans. The Chinese also had much more positive impressions of KFC. Brand identity impressions were correlated with overall customer satisfaction and with future patronage intentions for both groups. These findings support a model where differences in cultural frames of reference lead consumers to actively localize the brand identity of this nominally globalized product. b. Packaging The packaging for KFC products is chosen according to performance against three criteria: heat retention, moisture removal, and grease absorption. The packaging material and carton design are all adapted to maximize performance against these three criteria. Recycled Paper All our clamshells and chicken boxes contain as much recycled material as it is legally allowed. By law we are required to have virgin fiber board in any part of the packaging that is in contact with food. Any virgin fiber comes from board suppliers who use pulp bought from managed forest in Scandinavia. This ensures that any wood cut for paper production is replaced with new plantings. For example: sogood in so many ways KFC is as committed to the environment as we are to our food and to our customers. We are proud of the steps we have taken so far to reduce our environmental footprint and are committed as a brand to do even more in the in future. Its an ongoing journey that were on and we want to keep you our customers informed along the way! In 2010, KFC introduced fast foods first reusable food container.

Pricing Strategies Market skimming: KFC globally enters the market using market skimming. Their products are priced high and target the middle to upper class people. Gradually they trickle down the prices focusing on the middle to lower class people to penetrate both sides of the market. We can compare the price of their products with McDonald, Dominoes and Pizza Hut. If the competitor provides the same product at a lower price then the organization usually lowers the price of its product too. In the case of KFC, Fried Chicken is its main selling point and controls a monopoly over the fast food market (only with fried chicken). It

prices its burgers, French fries and soft beverages with relation to its competitors. KFC price their product keeping different points in view. They adopt the cost base price strategy.
