KFC in China, one of the marketing strategy: the first Brand Strategy

global food system group (the list of world top 500 enterprises), the group owns,including the world famous Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell three

brands, currently has more than 30,000 chain restaurants.

Yum Chinese market is the world's fastest growing restaurant groups in the

global strategy and one of the most potential market. China is Yum Yum Group

Global Restaurant Group's International collaboration in the development

of China was founded, headquarters. Kentucky since 1987, in Beijing the front door

opened the first restaurant after it had been in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Qingdao,

Nanjing, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Tianjin, Fuzhou, Shenyang, Xi'an,

Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Harbin and other places Co., Ltd. was established more

25,500 employees at work, restaurant employees have 100% localization, ranking

China's fast-food industry in the first place.

The reason why Kentucky is so successful, mainly depends on its marketing strategy

in China.

KFC and McDonald's, who is "the first"? In the KFC

China's first 400 restaurants - Henderson Center store the openingceremony, KFC has not only publicly declared that he was "the

first" for the first time with the rival McDonald's direct

comparison.

Coincidentally. World-famous research company AC Nielsen in 30 cities in China, the

16,667 copies of the questionnaire survey: the "most customer

patronage" of international brands, Kentucky ranked first, more than

McDonald's. November 13, 2000, published by the China Chain Store

& Franchise Association, the five "best franchise brand in China

2000", the subsidiary of China Yum's KFC brand as the only

foreign investment is particularly recommended international selection. This is true.

Kentucky Fried Chicken entered the Chinese market and expand the strategic course,

always the "Kentucky" as the first brand of China's

catering industry to run.

The early 90s, KFC Su, president of Chinese companies came to China of Mr., and

employees described the vision of KFC. The Chinese KFC (KFC) brand Zuocheng

the first brand of Chinese restaurants, and even the world's most popular

restaurant brand. Company Mr. Su Jingshi in the development process at all levels ofmanagement together with the continued promotion and elaboration of this goal. KFC

every new employee, to work well the first day of this goal. This makes Kentucky the

company all staff have a common blueprint, a common vision. Everyone knows the

future will be a Kentucky company looks like. Liu Jianming, general manager of KFC

Beijing, as the company said: success at different times in different proportions. Our

only goal is not more than rivals, but how to keep the consumer in mind brand.

"KFC," the first brand strategy, the initiative can be summarized

as the following three aspects:

1, taking the big cities, accurate location.

Health care products market has tended to "encircle the cities from rural

areas", while the catering is first captured cities, then spread to smaller

cities. KFC enter the Chinese market first focused radiation occupied most of the city.

September 1986, Kentucky Fried Chicken into the company began to consider the

most populous of the Chinese market, to explore the huge potential inherent in the

market. But many challenges to policy makers in Kentucky hesitation. This family is

the world's largest chicken restaurant, in front of the Chinese market is

completely unknown, KFC's pure Western style could be acceptable to

Chinese consumers? Development of the Chinese market, not only requires technical

resources, more importantly, valuable management resources needed. In addition,

China can not export a lot of hard currency profits, even moderate levels of export is

unlikely. The most critical is to enter the Chinese market must select a specific

investment location, which is then with great uncertainty: the first Jia Ying Dangchosen where Kentucky Fried Chicken shop? This decision will have future earnings,

other regions in China to further open up and the management of resources put into

the determination of such a dramatic impact.

KFC through a comprehensive, in-depth market research to confirm enter the Chinese

market as a target market must be large cities: with 100% of the energy to attack

Beijing, then Shanghai and Hangzhou. Because of Beijing in China is high ground.

November 12, 1987 Kentucky busy Qianmen area in Beijing set up its first restaurant

in China, while Beijing KFC Co., Ltd. is the first time Beijing is home to fast-food

Chinese joint venture. The development of Beijing as a starting point for the

development of KFC in the country as a prairie fire.

Shanghai is China China contend, affect Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and the

entire Yangtze River Delta. Shanghai 1989 has opened its first KFC restaurant, KFC

chain stores in Shanghai has reached more than 60, and break the world record of fast-

food industry's turnover, so far, the single-store sales results more than 40

million home in the world. Guangzhou have Dilirenhuo advantage. After 90 years of

the 20th century, Kentucky has to undertake solid offensive Tianjin, Fuzhou,

Shenyang, Xi'an, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Harbin and other cities.

In determining the "capture of large cities" strategy, site

selection strategy is very important. Location is the primary factor in hotel

management, food chain too. The correct location chain is not only a prerequisite for

its success is to achieve chain standardization, simplification, the prerequisite and

basis for specialization. Therefore, the KFC fast food shop on site is very important,site selection decision-making is generally two examination and approval system,

through the two Boards, one local company, the other is the headquarters. The site is

almost 100 percent success rate, is one of Kentucky's core competitiveness.

KFC site by following these steps: First, the business district of the division and

selection. Business district of the division, mainly to attract consumers, energy

measurement. Select business district, that is, to determine the current focus on

business district in which shop, which main goal is. Selection criteria in the business

district on the one hand to consider the restaurant's own market

positioning, but also make a circle of stability and maturity. Market positioning of

different restaurants to attract customers are not the same, the choice of business

district is different. Second, the poly-off point of measurement and selection. Main

contents are: to determine the business district, the most important poly-off points

where; site selection must consider the flow of the main line will not be competitors

stopped; Poly-off point selection affect business district selection.

To plan a good business district, Kentucky Development, has invested enormous

effort. In Beijing, KFC Corporation, the Development Department staff perennial

traveled to Beijing every corner, on the annual construction and road changessignificantly, the locals are easy to get lost in the local well known. Often this occurs,

the Beijing KFC company received a customer call, the proposed KFC in the spot

where he set point, developers can one address-known local business environment,

suitable for shop. In Beijing, KFC has been divided into according to their own

investigation business district, more than 60 successful out of the restaurant.

2, positioning cooking chicken expert, standardized services.

KFC Chicken market advantage for its unique taste of food, location in the

"world-renowned expert cooking chicken,"

"delicious cooking chicken, all in Kentucky," Kentucky Fried

Chicken and McDonald's positioning is also the biggest difference. Its 60

years of cooking experience cooking the chicken out of chicken products, plain

chicken, spicy chicken wings, spicy chicken burgers, boneless chicken breast strips,

etc., golden crispy outer layer, the inner tender and juicy, with its unique delicious

taste widely praised for the customer. KFC in a variety of advertising also continued

to strengthen its "Cooking the chicken expert" the selling point.

KFC belongs Yum Greater China said Mr. Su, president of KFC in China, one of thereasons is that it successfully developed a taste for fast food varieties of Chinese

consumption, whether chicken wings and chicken hamburgers these is rich in

essential nutrients food, or mashed potatoes, green salad and fresh vegetable soup and

other delicious hibiscus nutrition, catering, are very suitable for the Chinese people

"eat fine" requirements. KFC to introduce more Chinese people

taste the food, but also set up a "health food in China KFCCommittee", to employ more than a dozen national experts as a food

development backing.

KFC to family members as the main target consumer. The focus is more receptive to

the promotion of foreign culture, fresh young things, all the food, the service

environment are targeted and designed. This is because young people prefer Western-

style fast food airy dining atmosphere, and hopes to influence other age family

members to visit. In addition, the Kentucky Children also spend a lot of energy to

customers, the shop specialized Piyou dining area children, as children celebrate the

birthday of the region, arranged to meet the children's favorite colorful

decorations, holiday toys as gifts, on the one hand want to encourage the children

from fast food snack habits, it also hopes to bring small children, to attract members

of the family to accept the warm service shop.

KFC to keep returning the consumer division, can be divided into severe, moderate,

mild three types. Heavy consumers is once a week, moderate consumers about a

month to once every six months once considered light users. After investigation,

KFC's heavy consumers accounted for almost 30% -40%. On the heavy

consumers, KFC's marketing strategy is to maintain their loyalty, do not letthem down. These heavy consumers know KFC is because they often visit. The waiter

even KFC are good friends with them. Their unique and simple way is to not let them

down. For example, quality, service attitude. For light users, the survey found that

many people do not visit a KFC store the biggest factor is the convenience. This can

only be achieved through continuous shop has.

KFC worldwide to promote the "CHAMPS" Champion

of the Chinese market, including one. Which reads: C: Cleanliness remain beautiful

the KFC franchise Bu Jin need to join those who have funds that condition, but also

the operators themselves have a certain quality.

finance the purchase of an ongoing operation and has been profitable in the chain.

China Yum Group Manager Xu true, said: "KFC on the Franchise to have

some choices, that non-agricultural population between 150,000 to 40 million people,

per capita consumption of more than 600 small and medium cities, rather than

catering industry city. "Meanwhile, Xu real added:" KFC in
