McDonalds:
The Healthy Try
Introduction
For our project we have decided to analyze McDonalds. We propose to look at how
McDonalds has attempted to change their image through marketing strategies over the years.
They have done this in a variety of ways, not just with their products. For example, they
changed packaging on their products to become more environmentally safe. They have also
created new menu items in the past 10 years in order to offer some healthy options to those
watching their waistlines. This is an effort to appeal to customers who might have disregarded
McDonalds in the past because of traditional stereotypes. They have done this in a variety of
ways using the four Ps and are attempting to change societys perceptions. Many people today
are unhappy with McDonalds and their unhealthy food, and we were interested to see if the
current marketing strategy that McDonalds is using is creating a positive change for the
company.
History
McDonalds, now known world wide as one of the major powerhouses in the fast food
industry, began in San Bernardino on May 15, 1940. It originated as a barbeque restaurant
under the ownership of brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and soon evolved into a teen
hangout generating 80% of its revenues from hamburgers alone. In 1948, McDonalds
switched gears and increasingly targeted the young family market, developing its operation
concepts around speed, lower prices, and higher volume. They ran under the slogan of speedy
service systems, selling their hamburgers with fries for an astonishing 25 cents. In 1954 Ray
Kroc, a previous restaurant owner, saw potential for growth in the company and capitalized on

it convincing the McDonald brothers to franchise the company with his financial support. In
1963 McDonalds introduced Ronald, a fun loving clown, to promote their restaurant as a
family establishment, and he became a huge success. In fact, Ronald is now an icon
symbolizing the McDonalds firm.
As the restaurant continued on its upward spiral toward success, they decided to go
public for the first time in 1965 offering one hundred shares of stock for $2,250 dollars. In
todays market, that is equivalent to 74,360 shares worth over $1.8 million
(www.mcdonalds.com). In effort to give help to those who are in need, McDonalds
collaborated with the Philadelphia Eagles Fred Hill and created the Ronald McDonald House
in 1974. At the house, families of critically ill children are given a home away from home
while their kids are treated. Today, McDonalds is the leading foodservice retailer with more
than 30,000 locations in over 119 countries, and is a symbol of American culture.
Historical Reputation
McDonalds was the first fast food restaurant on the scene. There have been many
imitators over the years, but it has historically been number one. Since its first opening in
1940, the business has boomed into an international craze. Historically, McDonalds has been
viewed as the pinnacle and one of the defining features of the American lifestyle. Burger, fries,
and a Coke were the traditional meal. Once it spread globally, it boomed into popularity
because other countries wanted to be associated with the successful image of the American
dream. It was not until recently, within the last 15 years, that people began to question the
health and safety of the fast food industry, and have been focusing on McDonalds because it is
an easy target. When a company is that large, it is a natural target forinner directed
consumers, and those who wish to upset the conformist lifestyle.

McDonalds
Reputation Today
Though all this talk about poor health and risk associated with McDonalds seems
bad for the business, we set out to see if it was really hindering their success today.
McDonalds is, after all, still the most prevalent and recognizable fast food establishments in
the world. The health aspect has actually spread out of the United States and become a global
issue.
According to All Headline News, McDonalds saw a profit loss of 14 percent last
quarter. It was the biggest loss the company has had since 2002. This may seem like an
indication of their dropping popularity; however it was actually not related to their customers
satisfaction (or lack thereof). According to the company, their loss reflected a large tax benefit
it received over a year ago, and that sales have actually been going up over the last 35 months
due toa series of successful new products, extended hours, restaurant renovations and allowingcustomers to pay with credit and debit cards.
As stated before, McDonalds is the worlds leading fast food restaurant and is globally
recognized. With over tens of thousands of stores spread across 119 countries, McDonalds
serves an astounding 50 million customers daily (www.mcdonalds.com). With such an
extremely large consumer base, it is crucial that they know and understand how their customers
feel regarding the overall satisfaction of the McDonalds experience.
The type of experience McDonalds offers to its loyal consumer is, on the majority,
rated high in overall satisfaction. The reasons McDonalds consumers are loyal to McDonalds
and not to its competitors are many. First, McDonalds has recognized the importance of
diversity and its impact within company strategy. They have done an excellent job in
implementing a multidomestic strategy to ensure the loyalty of its customers and their changing

McDonalds
wants and needs. This is shown through their diverse menu options around the globe. For
example, McDonalds restaurants in India created a vegetarian sandwich in order to cater to
their need of not eating beef. By increasing the number of segments they can market to, they
are able to reach more people. This is only one example of many on how McDonalds has met
the needs of its customers.
McDonalds provides a positive and caring attitude towards the community of which it
serves. McDonalds vision states that "We are not a hamburger company serving people; we
are a people company serving hamburgers". With a vision so clearly committed to people,
customers have responded by continuing to keep McDonalds number one.
Other aspects of the McDonalds dining experience show why their customers continue
to hold their reputation high. They use things like the dollar menu, playgrounds, endorsements,
and charities all add to create the overall satisfying experience. These things overshadow the
health risks that are a large issue in todays American society. Through the information we
have found, McDonalds is still popular because it is about convenience and fast food. Until
people are willing to wait longer to eat and pay more for healthier food, it will still be one of
the leading chains.
So, does it seem that they are repairing the damage done by the health nuts? On the
contrary, they may have maintained their customer base through smart advertising and
marketing but are still not popular with many people. They are such a large and conspicuous
company that many people find it easy to blame them for problems. Inside the US, they are the
target for various causes such as anti-globalization groups and environmentalists who believe
their packaging is creating excess waste. It has also been accused of being heavy-handed in its
retaliations to these protests, giving it a somewhat bully image. Outside of the US,

McDonalds
McDonalds is still widely pervasive in most countries, all of which have local owners. Yet, it
finds itself a symbol of American domination of economic and natural resources. There are
also many urban legends about its food and company, and it is a target for unusual lawsuits.
Customer Base
This is not to say that all people hate McDonalds. Their website claims to serve over
50 million people per day. Who are McDonalds customers? Stereotypically they are
overweight, lazy, and unhealthy people (men, women, and children). This could be adding to
the social stigma surrounding McDonalds and adding to their unhealthy image. One crucial
group is what they call the heavy hitters. These are men 18 34 years old, who eat at the
restaurant three to five times a week. These men actually only make up about 20 percent of the
customer base, but account for nearly 70 percent of the visits to the chain (Alexander, 2004)!
However, McDonalds decided to phase out the Supersize Option on its meals in 2004, which
could be alienating this group. It is important to keep this group because they bring profits way
up by increasing margins on sales. The change was implemented when McDonalds began to
focus more attention on attracting moms and health-conscious adults.
Target Market
Traditionally, and still today, McDonalds focus in advertising, marketing, and design
has been children. This is obvious with their PlayPlace, Happy Meals, and character Ronald
McDonald. They actually introduced Ronald as a way to draw families into the restaurant. In
recent years, McDonalds has also been increasing their marketing toward mothers. This
makes sense because they have to also draw the moms into the restaurant, where the kids want
to go. They are almost a small addition to the child market. They use a variety of marketing
strategies to attract children, moms, and families in general.

Promotions and Current Marketing
McDonalds is actively working to change their image to a healthier one. Gone are the
days where hamburgers are the key advertising attraction. People already know McDonalds;
in fact the golden arches are the single most recognized symbol around the world, even before
the cross. They have completely saturated the market to the point where you can now even
order a Big Mac while shopping at Wal-Mart. Their problem, however, is their battle with
health critics and customers filing lawsuits about their unhealthy products. This negative
publicity is shaping some stereotypes around the company which they want to change.
As we know, perception is reality. The American public sees McDonalds as a
restaurant that is as unhealthy. Americans dont go to McDonalds with visions of healthy food
dancing in their heads. Some dont even go to McDonalds at all. So how does McDonalds
get them back? This is an immense project that may also never be a successful one.
its what i eat and what i doim lovin it
The most recent way that McDonalds has tried to create a healthy image is their new
marketing campaign titled its what i eat and what i doim lovin it. The campaign is
meant to build upon their global marketing campaign, im lovin it, which was launched in
September 2003. It is designed to tie all our balanced, active lifestyles messages together,
said McDonalds CEO Jim Skinner (Press Release, 3/08/05). The theme highlights the
important interplay between eating right and staying active.
Throughout all of the press releases and media material that we found on McDonalds
corporate website there was one common phrase: balanced, active lifestyles. It is their new
platform and it consists of three pillar ideas: increasing menu choice, promoting physical
activity, and providing more accessible information. In the next few paragraphs we will
7

McDonalds
illustrate just exactly what McDonalds is doing in their marketing campaign to address these
three pillars.
The most recent example of the first pillar, increasing menu choice, is the introduction
of the new Asian Chicken Salad. McDonalds is both expanding their menu and increasing the
availability of healthy foods. Advertisements for this new salad are everywhere. Signage is
present outside the restaurants, on street banners, and even on the windows and near the
registers. One food bag also featured the new Asian Chicken Salad as part of a GoActive!
Happy Meal. We even saw a couple different versions of advertisements on television for this
salad as well as an ad in InStyle magazine. It is their newest healthy item. Other recent
menu additions were also healthier choices such as Premium Chicken sandwiches and other
premium salads.
The second pillar of this campaign,promoting physical activity, is also evident on bags,
cups and signage in each store. The bags that hold food orders no longer have hamburger ads
on the outside. They now feature images of people leading balanced, active lives. On one
bag, a woman is doing yoga with a caption saying being good to myself has never been
easierim lovin it. This lady is sending a message that she thinks it is easy to maintain her
healthy lifestyle by eating at McDonalds. Physical activity is also promoted through the
introduction of four different 15 minute workout DVDs that you can get when you buy the
GoActive! Happy Meal that includes a salad and a Dasani bottled water. During the Winter
Olympics in Torino, many Olympic athletes were also featured on McDonalds bags with
motivational messages about their active lives. McDonalds is doing everything they can to
broadcast images of healthy active people and associating them with McDonalds.

McDonalds
The third and final pillar, more accessible information, is evident in McDonalds new
packaging concept that will provide nutritional information on individual food boxes.
McDonalds has a 30 year history of providing nutrition information to customers, but as
recent lawsuits against McDonalds and scenes from the movie Super Size Me suggest, they
have room for improvement (Press Release, 2/0706). The lawsuits against McDonalds
claimed that the plaintiffs were obese because they were unaware of the nutritional content of
the McDonalds food that they were eating. Whether that is believable or not, McDonalds was
forced to make a move. They were lucky that these lawsuits were thrown out due to the fact
that the plaintiffs could not prove that McDonalds was at fault, but what if the next plaintiff
had a better case? McDonalds has to be on the defensive.
Therefore, McDonalds is moving nutrition facts straight to the box. Not only does
each box have the nutrition facts table, but McDonalds also chose to highlight the five most
relevant indicators that customers can understand: calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and salt.
These five indicators are presented in a different color, while the nutrition table is presented in
plain text. The only packages that will not feature nutritional information will be those used in
short-term promotions and wrappers and containers that are used for multiple products. In
those cases, customers will be referred to McDonalds websites and in-restaurant brochures.
Marketing for Children
Another part of McDonalds push toward balanced, active lifestyles also includes
their interaction with children. Kids are a huge market that McDonalds caters to and has done
so for many years. Parents often take their kids to McDonalds because it is often the only
indoor play area around, and also provides a quick, convenient, and fairly cheap meal. In a
country where everyone is busy with work and shuttling kids back and forth to soccer practice,
9
-
7/27/2019 Mcdonalds Mcdonalds Corporate Strategy3Corporate Strategy3
10/18
McDonalds
a quick meal is invaluable. The kids are fed and are able to run around and play at the same
time.
McDonalds is finally aware of their hold on kids and how this hold is affecting the
health of American kids. Because of this, McDonalds is now using Ronald McDonald as an
advocate for balanced, active lifestyles. The goal is to have him inform both kids and families
around the world about the importance of eating healthy and staying active. In the fall
McDonalds plans to release the first two in a series of DVDs featuring Ronald McDonald,
these DVDs are meant to show kids how much fun they can have when they activate their
bodies, their minds, and their imaginations (Press Release, 2/07/06).
New Healthy Products
Over the years, McDonalds has also introduced a variety of new products to combat
the image of unhealthiness. These have worked to diversify their menu, but have not made
much of a difference in the perception of the restaurant. Some of the new items include the
Premium Salads, Premium Chicken Selects and Chicken Sandwiches, bottled water as a
substitute for soda, Low-Carb options for normal menu items, the Apple Dippers and fruit bags,
and the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait. Beside reminder ads, McDonalds is currently spending the
majority of its advertising budget on these new products, and still sell more double
cheeseburgers than all of them combined (Warner, 2006)! In fact, though they are marketed as
healthy but a Chicken Caesar Salad with dressing at McDonalds actually has more calories
from fat (270) and percentage of daily sodium (64%) than a Big Mac (270 calories from fat,
42% daily sodium) (Nutrition, 2006).

The Olympics Partnership
The Olympics have a long lasting reputation for their presence and involvement with
sports and collaborations with corporations for sponsorship and advertising opportunities.
Because the Olympics have such a profound impact worldwide on individuals, it is not
surprising that the marketing element in the Olympic Games is so prevalent. With the
Olympics being a globally viewed event (over 2 billion) in over 200 countries, marketing
throughout the duration of the games can generate mass publicity leading to greater profits for
the sponsors. Sports also play a role in millions of peoples lives around the world. It is one
arena of life that the mass media also finds significant; implicating the obvious reason that
marketing through the Olympics is a golden opportunity.
Other than being a company who markets their product via commercial or some other
media outlet, sponsors of the official Olympic Games contribute a great deal in understanding
the entirety of how corporations are involved with the Olympics. Sponsors show their support
to the Olympic Games by providing financial and other resources to give their image a positive
boost. McDonalds has latched onto this sponsorship idea, and began sponsoring the Olympics
in 1976. It is important to understand how the Olympics affect their sponsors and vise versa,
which explains the in depth explanation of the Olympics.
McDonalds was in its rapid growth stage as America was embracing the experience
that McDonalds offered; inexpensive food and quick, friendly service. As McDonalds was
becoming a familiar household name throughout the country, so were the Olympics. When
they became an official sponsor, it was most definitely the merging of two huge forces, and
became a long lasting relationship. McDonalds today continues to show the Olympic Games
their committed support, and uses their relationship to promote its new healthy image.

McDonalds
McDonalds CEO had this thought on their involvement with the Olympics, Our McDonalds
restaurant teams have always shared many of the same ideals as the Olympic team. They
include excellence, teamwork, and being your best. For more than 30 years, we have been a
proud sponsor of the Olympic movement, a partnership that directly aligns with our ongoing
commitment to help people live more balanced, active lives. Not only is McDonalds a
devoted and veteran sponsor, they hold the position of being the top sponsor of the entire
Olympic movement. Although McDonalds has had a long run as being the top sponsor to
the games, it will come to an end when the 2012 London games take place, for their
sponsorship will cease. We havent found the reason behind the decision which is surprising
because it is a significant one. McDonalds sponsorship with the Olympics has provided many
positive outcomes for both parties. Having a close affiliation with the Olympics altered the
way that the public perceives McDonalds, which was what they were hoping for, especially in
the last decade. The question is, has their sponsorship changed the company or how the public
perceives it?
The essence of the Olympics is about fitness and bringing together the best of the best,
two very important values. As McDonalds became more and more aware of their customers
increasing interests in a more healthy diet, they began to change their strategy fast.
McDonalds also realized that the affiliation with the Olympics alone could help make their
transition to a more health conscious restaurant more visible. So, McDonalds began
promoting the sponsorship by adding it to their packaging, voicing it in their commercials, and
in other media outlets. By doing so, people started to view McDonalds in a healthier way,
through a small halo effect. The affiliation between the two also intertwined the values of
health between both the Olympics and McDonalds. In other words, some people started to
12
-
7/27/2019 Mcdonalds Mcdonalds Corporate Strategy3Corporate Strategy3
13/18
McDonalds
think of McDonalds as being the best in the fast food industry, and also purchasing the
healthy items. Although this was only the first step McDonalds took toward changing their
image, it was one that had a lasting impact.
Recently, McDonalds has become aware of the increasing health conscious public and
has tried to adapt accordingly. They have incorporated many different campaigns to capture
and promote the essence of healthy living. As stated before, among these include the
sponsorship with the Olympics, offering a line of products which are marketed to the health
conscious customers, endorsements with super-fit celebrities, collaboration with other health-
oriented products such as bottled water, and also the introduction and promotion of the
GoActive! Campaign. This campaign is headed by a famous celebrity fitness trainer, Bob
Greene, and has been named The GoActive! American Challenge.
GoActive! Campaign
The GoActive! Campaign is McDonalds most recent attempt to diversify their options
on the menu, and convince its customers to become more active. This is aimed more toward
the adult rather than the child market, which is a turn from traditional marketing strategies.
McDonalds wants parents to be able to order healthful food while still giving the kids what
they really want: The Happy Meal. This change is successful because the options are given to
customers, rather than automatically getting fries and a soda with the meal. Instead, customers
are given the option of things like fruit salad, apple slices with caramel sauce, cut veggies,
juice, and bottled water. By doing this, McDonalds is taking a proactive, hands-on approach
which shows customers they care about and realize the significance of a healthy lifestyle. To
promote this program, McDonalds and celebrity fitness trainer Bob Greene decided to
challenge America. Their challenge was called McDonalds GoActive! American Challenge
13
-
7/27/2019 Mcdonalds Mcdonalds Corporate Strategy3Corporate Strategy3
14/18
McDonalds
and it encouraged others to live a more balanced life by taking steps to reach a goal. To
promote the new campaign, Bob Greene walked and biked across America for a total of 36
days. To include people in this journey, McDonalds distributed 10,000 to 15,000 step-o-
meters along with brochures containing information about fitness and ways to start living a
more active life.
It is McDonalds hope that customers will see, from this challenge, that McDonalds is
a place where they have a choice to consume either healthy or unhealthy food. Also, the
presence of Bob Greene adds advantage to McDonalds marketing techniques because of his
status in the fitness world. If he is associated with the company, then it must not be that
unhealthy. It is critical to analyze what perception is and how it plays a part in McDonalds
and their marketing strategy.
Interview with Bob Comisky
We also wanted to get the opinion and viewpoint of a person inside the McDonalds
Corporation on this topic of healthy marketing. We talked to a franchise owner, Bob Comisky,
to see whether or not he thought the current actions and advertisements were really working.
According to Bob, customers are not coming to McDonalds to eat healthy. He said, Overall
we have increased a little in healthy product sales but we have found that although there is a
health craze right now people come to McDonalds for the burgers, not to eat healthy. This
mimics our research, finding that the dollar menu sells much more than the healthy items. The
marketing has had little effect on the buying patterns on the restaurant patrons. He also said
that McDonalds is hoping to increase their market share globally:
McDonald's as a company has vision to dominate the world-wide foodserviceindustry. In order to do this they will set the performance standard high for customersatisfaction in addition to increasing the market share and profitability by fulfillingMcDonald's mission of value execution strategies and convenience.

McDonalds
What is the Point?
The basic issue for McDonalds regarding perception is that the entire establishment is
based upon how they are perceived by the public. Are they perceived as a family restaurant by
families? If so, the family segment will more likely visit the restaurant for family dinners. Is
McDonalds perceived as a fun, inexpensive place for the high school and college segments to
eat at? If so, they are also more likely to eat there. Therefore, the perception that consumers
have about McDonalds is the basis of their decision to eat at the restaurant. Now that
McDonalds has tried to saturate the market with the healthy, balanced lifestyles campaigns,
they are trying to change the publics perception of them in terms of the health factor. While
McDonalds is trying so hard to be the new and improved healthy dining experience, the
perception of McDonalds in many peoples minds is already set in stone. Trying to change this
will cost huge amounts of money and there is not any guarantee that McDonalds will achieve
their goal.
Overall, we believe that McDonalds is using these healthy products and active
lifestyle campaigns as a defense mechanism. They are trying to dispel the image they have
right now, and also prevent future lawsuits. All the lawsuits that have been brought against
them in regards to obesity have been thrown out, but it is still negative publicity. The company
had to do some major damage control after movies like Super Size Me! and other negative
movements. They are less concerned with changing peoples perceptions of the chain, and
more with the fact they need to be seen as tryingto help the situation. They have already
saturated the market in the United States, and want to stay at the top and expand globally. It is
not so much about initially changing the companys image, though over time it may change in
response to this extensive marketing strategy.

McDonalds
Though it may not change their image, we also think that this is a good direction for
McDonalds to focus toward. They are a mature company, and the only way to bend the arrow
backward on their product life cycle is to innovate and create new products. This is their
attempt to return to the rapid growth stage. As stated before, McDonalds is widely known for
its hamburgers and fries, but it has potential to grow into a new market with healthy options. It
also has enough money to fund this type of project, and there is no reason they should not
continue on this road. The worst that could happen is that they revert back to the same market
and style they have always had, but thepositive side could be expansion into an entirely new
market and much more revenue for the company.
