Quantitative Methods Management Report SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTAURANT SECTOR

MANAGEMENT REPORT SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTAURANT SECTOR MANAGEMENT REPORT SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTRAUNT SECTOR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report analyses the survey conducted by the Kingston University Small Business Development Unit. The survey was carried out in Surrey and Hampshire, and looked at restaurants in the area. The report states that large sized restaurants dominated the restaurant sector in the area of Surrey and Hampshire. The majority of these can be classified as being in the fast food sector, thus, they are company-owned franchises. This therefore indicates new small business should launch a fast food restaurant as this type of restaurant would be the most profitable market. As the summary measures have shown the business outlook of restaurants within the Surrey and Hampshire areas is bordering unfavourable and this is a damaging environment for new business and therefore they should be wary. However even though the outlook is bleak there is a potential to earn an average gross sales of £100,000 to £140,000. The company-owned restaurants also dominate the sector in Surrey and Hampshire, hence it may be a difficult market for small businesses to break into as company owned restaurants or franchises such as Mc Donald's are very well established with strong brand names and consequently have brand loyalty; this form of business also has large amounts of

Comparative analysis of Marketing Communications strategies and mix for the Cola drinks in the UK.

Comparative analysis of Marketing Communications strategies and mix for the Cola drinks in the UK Introduction The Cola drinks industry is a highly competitive market that relies on various methods of marketing communications in reaching its target audiences. As a newly appointed Industry Analyst in the Cola drinks industry, I will produce a comparative analysis of the marketing communications and mix of Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Virgin Cola. I will briefly mention the smaller companies, such as supermarket own brands. I will research the different promotional tools, i.e. advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling and direct marketing, each company uses. I will research to what extent they utilise these tools and how they use them in 'fighting the battle' for increased market share. I will explore the various media used, the message that the company is giving off, the image that is projected and how well the target audience is being hit. Background The cola industry is worth millions worldwide. The major companies in the market are Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Virgin Cola (Appendix 1). The turnover for 2001 reflects the market share of each company. Coca-Cola had almost 40% of the whole carbonated drinks market in the UK in 2001 (Appendix 3). In 2001 it was the #1 top FMCG good with Pepsi not far behind at #10 (www.hoovers.com). Coca-Cola and Pepsi are

The mission statement of the company is "The Coca-Cola Company exists to benefit and refresh everyone who is touched by our business".

This report serves the formulation of an Advertising Communications Strategy for 'KJM Food Ltd.' [KJM] - a German blender and supplier of tea and speciality teas.

. Introduction This report serves the formulation of an Advertising Communications Strategy for 'KJM Food Ltd.' [KJM] - a German blender and supplier of tea and speciality teas. KJM wants to launch a new black tea brand, named 'SOUL' into the UK market. Black tea is one of the most popular hot beverages in Europe and originates from the 'Camellia Sinensis Tree'. It is derived from its leaves that have been withered, rolled, fermented, and then fired. Due to the nature of the product SOUL will be launched after the summer months. KJM has consulted the advertising agency 'Flavour' to assist in this matter and the following report summarizes the agency's recommendations based on results of several marketing examinations which can be found in detail in appendices attached. Flavour will define a clear, consumer-relevant USP, clear positioning against the market competition and recommendations for an effective Brand Media Strategy as the basis of an integrated marketing concept. Further more, the theory that "all advertising communications should be designed with a particular target market in mind, created to achieve specific objectives, and undertaken to accomplish the objective toward the target market within budget constraints" [Terrence Shimp] is followed through. 2. Situation Analysis In order to prepare an Advertising Communications Strategy for the launch of the new

Has the Marketing of McDonalds products been successful?

Introduction The aim of this assignment is to investigate whether the advertising of McDonalds' products has been successful. To achieve this aim I am going to undertake research from both the general public and McDonald's itself, and use referenced information from other sources such as encyclopaedias and the Internet. Background Information on McDonald's McDonald's Corporation Inc., a multinational fast food restaurant company, was founded by the McDonald brothers when they opened their drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California, in 1948. They began by selling the traditional fast-food products such as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, soft drinks and chips. By the mid 1950's the original McDonald's was generating $350,00 a year. In 1954, Ray Kroc, a salesman who was convinced that the McDonald's idea could work in other cities was appointed by the McDonald brothers to sell franchises and a second McDonald's was opened in Illinois in 1955. By the end of the decade 228 restaurants had been opened which generated $37.6m in revenues McDonald's continued to grow in the 1960s and during this period it adopted many of its well-known associations. In 1962 the golden arches were adopted as its trademark and Ronald McDonald was created as its official mascot. McDonald's also pursued several aggressive marketing campaigns during this period, including the very successful "You
