    Chapter 01 1. Introduction McDonald's is one of the best-known brands worldwide. This case study shows how McDonald's continually aims to build its brand by listening to its customers. It also identifies the various stages in the marketing process. Branding develops a personality for an organization, product or service. The brand image represents how consumers view the organization. Branding only works when an organization behaves and presents itself in a consistent way. Marketing communication methods, such as advertising and promotion, are used to create the colors, designs and images, which give the brand its recognizable face. At McDonald's this is represented by its familiar logo - the Golden Arches. Marketing involves identifying customer needs and requirements, and meeting these needs in a better way than competitors. In this way a company creates loyal customers. The starting point is to find out who potential customers are - not everyone will want what McDonald's has to offer. The people McDonald's identifies as likely customers are known as key audiences. McDonald’s has come up with advertising campaigns to help combat the dropping sales such as its New Taste Menu, and this was geared toward the healthier consumer. The message was that the company was tasty and nutritious, friendly folks and fun could be found at McDonald’s. 1.1 Problem Statement McDonald’s has been forced to contend with a number of potential obstacles to growth in recent years, most notably stark criticism and a less-than-favorable global economic climate that has seen consumers reduce their discretionary spending.

Every single day, Maia is tasked with ensuring that every cog in the machine that is RMHC New Zealand’s Auckland facilities is turning smoothly. Some days, she sorts last minute maintenance issues. Others, she lends a kind ear to families who’ve had a tough day on the ward. Her role is a constant juggle with a simple mission in mind: providing much needed accommodation and support to the hundreds of people in her care. Maia’s COVID-19 story is special. During levels 3 & 4, she chose to self-isolate from her family - as her son has compromised immunity. Maia put her own comfort and care aside to ensure that vulnerable families with a child in a hospital away from home were cared for and protected throughout the Frontline worker Maia and her family lockdown period.

  • The Validity of Odd Pricing
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE VALIDITY OF ODD PRICING A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Studies at Massey University Judith L Holdershaw 1995 ABSTRACT Odd pricing refers to the practice of pricing goods just below the nearest round figure, for example, $9.99 instead of $10.00, or $1,995 instead of $2,000. to produce higher than expected demand at the price level concerned. Although the practice of odd pricing is prevalent in retailing, there is a lack of empirical evidence to verify the effectiveness of odd pricing as a strategy to increase demand. This thesis reports the findings of a study designed to test the assumption that odd pricing produces higher than expected demand resulting in a "kinked" demand curve. That is, a demand curve which is inconsistent with the traditional law of demand. Purchase probabilities, used to measure estimated demand for six household products at four price levels, were obtained from a sample of 300 consumers. For each product. showcards featuring two prices, one slightly above an even price point and one slightly belo~ the same price point. were presented to all 300 consumers. These prices served the purpose of creating top and bottom "anchor" points of the demand curve for the product concerned. The sample was further divided into three subsarnples of 100 consumers who each viewed either an appropriate even or odd "test" price.

  • 'If There's Not One Near You Now, There Soon Will
    New Zealand Journal of History, 39, 1 (2005) ‘If there’s not one near you now, there soon will be’ AMERICAN FAST-FOOD CHAINS COME TO NEW ZEALAND* THE CURRENT (2004–2005) New Zealand television and billboard advertising campaign for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) proclaims that its product is ‘Kiwi For Chicken’. Not only is the ‘fried’ aspect of its heritage elided, Kentucky has become New Zealand. Three decades after KFC’s arrival in New Zealand all that remains of its original marketing pitch is the chicken, flavoured with the ‘Colonel’s secret recipe’. Yet on Friday 20 August 1971, when KFC officially opened its first branch at the Manukau Road exit from the Royal Oak roundabout in Auckland — thus offering New Zealanders their first local taste of branded American fast food — the Americanness of the chicken was to the fore. Full-page advertisements in the Auckland Star (Figure 1) promoted the store’s opening with a large photograph of the company’s founder, Colonel Harland B. Sanders, and promises of free balloons for children. Live music from the Southern Bend Blue Grass Band accompanied the festivities.1 By the early twenty-first century, however, American fast food in New Zealand is so commonplace that we rarely notice it at all; ‘Kiwi For Chicken’ hardly raises an eyebrow. New Zealanders, of course, enjoyed take-away food prior to the arrival of KFC. Fish and hot chips, meat pies and sandwiches from New Zealand Railways were staples of the local eating experience. Moreover, American influence on food and drink consumption in New Zealand had a history prior to the 1970s.
