MARKETING Combination CONTRIBUTION:
As we know that the marketing mixture is the combination of four things.
KFC blends all these four P's of marketing mixture in an exceedingly structured manners, which helps the organization in satisfying the customers demand as well as attaining the objective of the organization.
Combinations of that marketing combination are:
Product.
Pricing Composition.
Place / Distribution system.
Promotional activities.
We select the product (Chicken breast PCs. ) for the reason. As we realize that this product match the tastes level of Pakistani people. KFC created this product first time in Pakistan in 1997, when they opened first restaurant in Karachi. The product breaks all the record of deal.
According to the marketing supervisor of KFC that people prepare chicken PCs. And mostly the rest of the products on the programmed vegetation and we deliver the merchandise (Chicken Personal computers. ) after the proper examination by the quality control team.
Raw material used in this product like meat, etc. is purchased from the top Provider Company, which supply the beef at a same time to all or any the stores.
PRICE:
Prices of Chicken breast PCs. and all the other products of KFC are place by the top Office by implementing the correct method. Matching to
Marketing Manager price of any product is equal to the cost plus desirable revenue. According to the marketing supervisor of KFC that the charges strategies of firm will vary in different countries scheduled to different exchange rate, inflation, and different duty polices in the several countries.
But in Pakistan KFC priority is to market in volume and maintain it on long term basis. They may be charging a cost that they think reasonable to customers.
The policy of KFC is the fact that they don't set the costs on the basis of competitors. The aim of KFC is to satisfy the clients in low prices. In economics we can say that when the costs are constant, the demand of product increase, level of sale is increase, and earnings is can also increase, consequently of this circle the income of the organization is increase however the prices remains constant. So offering on low prices has a valid justification.
PLACEMENT:
The Chicken PCs. and all the other products of KFC can be found at the 18 restaurants in Pakistan.
DISTRIBUTION OF RESTAURANTS:
The first restaurant of KFC was opened in Karachi. Following this KFC opened its restaurants in Lahore at Protection, Cavalry Surface, and Barket Market. Truth be told there are 18 restaurants in all the Pakistan. However the question is the fact why the KFC select Defence area for starting the restaurant. The Marketing Manger of KFC offers us answer that before starting a fresh restaurant in any where our organization conduct a study to evaluate customers need, people buying ability and customer anticipations from KFC and find out what current and potential rivals are doing for the reason that area.
You can say that Defence is the region of the upper upper and higher middle class. In this area there are many up standard private universities like LUMS, ILM, etc. and collages, office buildings, posh shopping malls and the populace itself is a good market for the junk food. Therefore KFC Defence appeals to the students, children, family members and visitors of that area.
On the other palm KFC in Karachi too has strong reason and debate about slecting the site of Nipa, Churungi, Gulshan Karachi. It is a solid education and family focused middle income area. The majority of families living are joint family system. Therefor this restaurant attracts the large number of the customers. The area is inhibited by the several million peaceful people who wish to take their children out but there are not place this goal. KFC provide this center for the reason that area and folks are pleasure with us.
PROMOTION:
The element in an organization's marketing combine that serves to inform, persuade and remind the marketplace of something and/or the organization offering it in the wish of influencing the recipients thoughts, beliefs, or habit. The coverage of KFC is the fact that to look at the same methods to promote all its products like the Chicken PCs.
According the marketing manager of KFC that they use the next promotional methods:
ADVERTISING:
Advertising is non-personal communication of information usually for a persuasive in aspect about product services or ideas through the discovered sponsors through the various media.
Advertising perform the communication, education and marketing function it says people about the benefits associated with products and educate them how to make their life and time better off.
In KFC advertising are performed by the marketing office.
The advertising are being used by the management of KFC and rational behind it is the fact the organization consider it has market segment. So advert will have a great misuse reach and their advertising cost per consumer or the customer will high enough. So advertising is not very appropriate tool of promotion mix for them.
However irrespective of heavy or low use of the advertising campaign, the advertisement of the organization serves for both purposes and various regarding advertisement conducted by the central body which advert activities are:
· About the multinational string of KFC.
· The local body conduct ad about some deals which assists the functions of educating folks how they may make their time more enjoyable.
TELEVISION Advert:
Television combine audio, movement and design special visible impact. But KFC advertises himself on Television set in other countries. In Pakistan it gives ads on Television set very rarely.

The purpose of this advertisement is merely to set-up the awernance among the list of people about their products and deals.
PRINT Marketing:
They give the advisable information in the printing ads to the mark market in order to inform the clients about the benefit of their products.
Whenever they introduced new products they give ads on print multimedia at regular intervals. So the customer is informed about the new product. For their matured products they give advertisements with different gaps in the papers. The newspaper publishers they use are:

PERSONAL SELLILNG:
Personal selling is the special form of the interpersonal communication. Their goal is to bring its potential customers attention that will meet a need and that will elicit a response, hopefully by means of purchase.
Personal selling is highly effective when marketplace is slim one and you need to convince the prospect to be able to stimulate an action from him. But this technique demands higher degree of considerbility. The sales team of KFC must find out about their products and that of rivals, must allocate the clients with potential, discover their needs, developing the sales display directly striking at the needs of the customers, and after close the salesmen the must go for follow-up.
KFC Marketing Management considers it as you of its most significant tool.
