Graphical presentation
Our KISS (Keep it Simple & Smart) approach will be successful only if we don't distract ourselves from the core business of making good sub fast, and of treating the customers as if they are special. As with any business model in the new millennium, we must adapt our strategy to the customer and market trends, while maintaining consistency of brand and message. This is a challenge for any business in any industry because the nature of business will always, and has always determined that the best strategy with the most resources behind it will survive. This millennium has proved to be very successful in growing this market, and of supporting it's franchises.
Value Proposition Our value proposition is that we offer high-quality, healthy fast food at a reasonable price. The business facilities are clean and our food is tastier than that of our competitors. The ambiance of our facilities will contribute to customers' desire to eat their meals in a comfortable, healthy environment.
Competitive Edge We have a competitive edge in regards to the overall quality and differentiation of our products, and in the cleanliness and ambiance of our seating area. Our sandwiches are all of the finest quality, and have been refined through taste-tests sponsored by The Sub way Corporate. We will differentiate our food from our competitors in regards to taste, quality of bread and contents, attentiveness to customers, and overall experience. We gain from their conversion of burger eaters to sandwich eaters, but alternately prove that we are more responsive to customers and offer better fare than other franchises. Strategic Alliances The fast-food business is based largely on the impulsive choice of consumers. Many people buy their business lunch, lunch, or family dinners at a fast food restaurant, and those fast food restaurants offer not necessarily the best selection, but the most reliable menu and the fastest order completion time. Customers will try other fast food restaurants, and shop around, but the majority of their fast food purchases are made through one retailer. Our goal is to capture those customers, and to build loyalty to the product through purchase punch cards, consistent daily specials, and a direct mail list.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing
Our Marketing Strategy is to reach the largest amount of tourists residents, and students for the least amount of money. Our strategy will focus on three solid points: To develop customer loyalty To extend the franchise brand locally. Develop local word-of-mouth advertising (buzz). Pricing Strategy Our pricing strategy is different for different customers. Prices to retail customers will be fixed by the chairs, and based on a relative cost of living indicator. Retail prices will be competitive at about 6 for the average meal. This is about 30% above McDonald's and Burger King prices, Customers are simply willing to pay more for healthy, flavorful food served in a clean, comfortable environment. Promotion Strategy The chairs will promote our products on the national level. In order to reach our local customers, and build loyalty, we will offer special mid-day promotions, sponsor local community events, advertise in the local classified paper, and our President will become a leading figure and spokesman in the community. Distribution Strategy We plan to distribute our products direct to customers, without the use of a separate channel of distributors.
Sales Strategy Our sales strategy will be to reach the largest amount of Jackson county residents and tourists with consistent value-added incentives to purchase our products and visit our restaurant. In this industry, and especially as a franchise, our marketing programs are almost indistinguishable from our sales programs. The indistinguishable handles a lot of the national and regional marketing, and we just pay our fee to have it done. Our flexibility will lie in our ability to push the boundaries of freedom the indistinguishable has given us, and to take advantage of opportunities to differentiate ourselves on sales by sale level.
