Recommendations

6.0 Marketing Strategy

6.1 Marketing Research and Analysis

The Café Coffee Day, JP Nagar Outlet is blessed with fortune of located in a prime
connected area. It shall be able to leverage this opportune by offering various products
on the other two segments as well besides loading heavily in the prime target segment of
youth. In order to quantify or pin-point the areas of improvement, a survey research was
conducted so as to ascertain the Consumer Buying Behaviour and identify the areas of
improvement/change which are required for the Marketing Strategy of Café Coffee Day
Outlet. The survey also undertakes the issues/ differences which are there with the
Starbucks Outlet in JP Nagar so as to mitigate the threats posed by the competitor and
also eat away on their almost similar target segment. The results of the research are as
under:

a. Visiting frequency : This


shows that majority of
the consumers visit the
Coffee Chains Monthly
or even more than that.
Hence, the no. of
opportunities to
capture customer
attention, value and
loyalty are minimal and
hence, needs to be
accounted in the
strategy.
b. Preference
for Coffee Shop :
This shows that
majority of the
consumers visit the
coffee shop to
experience the
Quality/Taste of
Coffee and
thereafter due to

convenience/accessibility. Price and Ambience are less popular factors which


require to be looked into in the strategy.

Page 13 of 23
c. Money Spent : It can be
interpreted from the survey that
most of visitors actually spent
Rs.100 – 200 per person per visit.
Therefore, the Pricing strategy
needs to take the same into
account while formulation so that
the combination of products are in
the range / near the range. The
menu needs to be designed in a
similar fashion.

d. Reason for
Visit : Get-Together
and Refreshments
are the primary
motives of the
customers who use
the services of a
Coffee Shop.
Therefore, the
Place, Price and
Process needs to be
customized to cater
to such requirements.

e. Products
of Café Coffee
Day Outlet : The
research shows
that Coffee has an
excellent/ good
response.
However, the
outlets products
of Other Drinks,
Eatables and
Desserts need to
be enhanced
provided the fact that the customers only visit for a specific period.

Page 14 of 23
f. Value for Money, Service, Ambience : These issues which are related to Café Coffee
Day Outlet and its Marketing Mix and should be considered for incorporation in the
Marketing Strategy. The performance of the outlet on various attributes are as follows:

Page 15 of 23
The above analysis shows that none of the products (Coffee, Other Drinks, Eatables and
Desserts) are in the Excellent Category for the Value for Money. However, majority of the
consumers believe that the Value for Money is Good or Average. Thereby, there is some scope
for reduction in Price or if this is difficult the outlet may increase quantity / quality marginally
to improve the concept of Value for Money in the perception of the Consumers. Perception
theory of Selective Attention, Selective Distortion and Selective Retention needs to be
Consumer behavior may be adopted for improving the Marketing Mix.
The Service Issues are largely near to Excellent or Very Good ( 5 or 4) indicating that the outlet
is functioning well on this attribute. Some Minimal changes in the Process Marketing Mix shall
be very productive to enhance the service function of the outlet.
The Ambience of the outlet has been graded on 04 factors of Comfort Seating, Colour and
Lighting, Fragrance and Entertainment. It is observed that apart from Comfort Seating, all
other factors have been graded in 2-4 and that too in a very densely population South India
where the no. of coffee lovers are huge and a low score is an indication of shortfalls which
need to be addressed through the 7Ps.

6.2 Marketing Mix - Recommendations:

The Café Coffee Day Outlet needs to address large no. of issues on the 07 P’s and incorporate
the same in its Marketing Strategy Plan. There are various methods/ manners/ ideas which
can be implemented in the Short and the Long Run so as to achieve the Mission Statement of
Café Coffee Day and purely live up to the expectations of its Brand Mantra : ‘Experience,
Socialize and Enjoy Quality Coffee’.

6.2.1 Product

Café Coffee Day is all about


Coffee and the other drinks,
snacks and eatables, desserts
are the part of the product mix
so as to complement its main
offering of Coffee.

 It is seen from the


Menu that the
Beverages segment has
been divided into large nos. of sub-menus such as All Time Classics, Selections Cocoa
Indulgences, Cold Coffee Delight, Refreshing Teas, Swanky Smoothies, Fresh Wave,
Wellness Range, Infusion and Milkshakes.

 This requires overhauling as the specific product with which the Target Segment
connects is not coming through. The Outlet needs to reframe the Beverage Menu and

Page 16 of 23
Specify the Major heads of Coffee (Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, Americano, Expresso)
and thereafter list the other ranges in various categories. Further, the outlet needs to
seasonalize the offering instead of running the entire and very exhaustive beverage
menu through the entire year. This would help in having a direct impact on the
consumers who would be able to associate the Brand Positioning and their
connectivity with the Brand : i.e. Intense Coffee Lovers.

Expected Product
Customized versions of the
Augmented Coffee
(Very Specialized)

Augmented Product :
Coffee with Frills
Coffee with add-onns such as Cream,
IcreCream, Cookies, Choco Chips etc;

Basic Expected Product: Coffee


(Freshly Brewed Hot Coffee or Freshly Mixed Cold
Coffee) - Along with its Variants

 The Other Products are in Snacks : The Snacks which have been offered are varying
from Indian Versions of Biryanis, Samosas and Cutlets to European Versions of
Sandwiches, Pies and Cakes. To the American versions of the Burger. This has created
a wide array of products which has not dwelled in the minds of the consumers.
Further, the outlet has no facility of cooking or preparing these items. All the items
are made available to the outlet which in turn heats and offers to the consumer. The
space available with the outlet is insufficient so as to keep all he products and the
unavailability of the product shall hurt the Form, Reliability and Performance Quality
of the Product thereby tarnishing the image of this coffee based outlet. Therefore,
the outlet needs to revamp and bring together the allover the place menu with
limited and high quality items at par with its competitors. Reducing the SKUs shall
help in improvising differentiation of the snacks, quality, form and reliability in the
perception of the consumer.

 The Outlet can also launch Combos which shall suit the preferences of the consumer
and shall be in line with the standard offering of Café Coffee Day such as Cappuccino
+ Cookies, Café Latte + Cake, Tea + Samosa etc; The value perceived by the consumer
shall be high and shall also be a change: welcome initiative of the outlet.

Page 17 of 23
6.2.2 Price

Café Coffee Day has priced its products largely in the stream of the market which has already
been entailed. However, majority of the consumers have placed the same outside the value
for money : Excellent Pricing. This means that either there are products in the product mix
which are not comparable to the quantity and price ratio in the market or the entire product
mix is overpriced. In order to address the pricing strategy, the outlet needs a combination of
the Plans :

Optional
Feature
Pricing

Product Product
Line Bundling
Pricing Pricing

In the Product Line Pricing, the Product Mix Width and Product Line Length should be priced
and should also be presented in a similar fashion in the menu so that the consumer may
choose the product as per his budget and needs. As we have seen that majority

Product Mix Width

Coffee Other Beverages Savory Snacks Sweet Snacks


High End Coffee Milkshakes Burgers/Sandwiches Cakes
Budget Medium End Coffee Smoothies Wraps/Rolls Pastries
Low End Coffee Teas Samosa/Cutlet Cookies

of the consumers are the ones which would like to spend 100-200 per person per visit in a
coffee shop, the pricing needs to conform. The Outlet needs to stretch two ways to convey
its pricing to the consumer in a simple and lucid manner.

The Optional Pricing Strategy needs to be adopted for the Add-Onns which are actually
complementing the main products. Pricing is a sticky option and therefore it is important as
to what to include in the standard price and what needs to be added separately. Therefore,
Choco Chips, Cream, Caramel, Ice-Cream in Coffee and various other beverages needs to be
charged separately so that the burden of extra items is not felt.

Page 18 of 23
Product Bundling Pricing needs to be adopted for the Combos where the Outlet can offer the
products as bundles and the incentive can be less price for the bundle by cutting on the price
margin on any one product.

6.2.3 Place

The Outlet has an extremely good location where the connectivity with major places of
interest is available and also acts like a landmark location. Hence, this is a very strong area.
This can only be augmented by placing Sign Boards such as “300m Away Café Coffee Day”
etc;
Apart from this, the place has inherent benefits of a separate smoking place, separate working
area, sofa lounge area. The Décor is attractive however, lighting needs to be improved with
subtle/diffused lighting instead of direct lighting. The Fragrance is a worry area in the outlet.
Hence, the aroma of Coffee needs to be augmented in the outlet premises so that the target
segment is connected with the brand. Coffee Diffusers can be used to accomplish the same.
The Color Combinations are very apt to the brand/outlet as Red symbolizes excitement,
energy, passion and being bold whereas Purple symbolizes wealth, nobility and wisdom. It
combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. There should be some connotations of
Green in the Décor/ Furniture so that the sense of freshness and growth is built in the brand.

6.2.4 Promotion
The promotion approach of the outlet heavily weighs on in-store promotions, and largely lags
in digital promotional strategy with respect to its counterparts. Consumer engagements is
another thing that Café Coffee Day/Outlet has not able to leverage, and has never resorted
to mass media advertising. However, the brand have done the promotion through cobranding
strategies and through participation in activities like ‘Latte Art Festival’, special offers
on Women’s Day, ‘Flash Cappuccino Party’ or its recently introduced home delivery service .
These activities are standalone ones and are not able to attract the intended broader
segment.

Digital Media Promotions in the marketing plan is also not very robust, the Brand Mobile
Application is ranked 46th in the Lifestyle category of Apple Application store with an average
rating of 2.2 out of 5 and poor peer reviews similarly in Google play store as well.
The reward point system in the official website is also not attractive for the youth e.g. The
customer will get 1 Bean for every Rs. 10 spent on food and/or beverages. On redemption,
the value of 1 Bean = Rs.1, which is meagre and Beans are earned on the base price of the
item after discount and before tax. This needs to be made attractive by having greater
benefits on lean days/ hours and for also attracting other subsidiary target segments for
increasing their usage. The referral program is moderately encouraging as on referral the
referee will earn 25 Beans (equivalent to Rs 25) from each referral if referred person signs up
and makes a transaction using the Mobile application. The maximum referral that can be done

Page 19 of 23
is just 2. Also the Mobile Application is not customised as per the store location and it shows
the Menu with limited-period products and other select items from across the country, which
misleads the customer and leaves with a feeling of dissatisfaction on menu item not being
available in the store.
Hence, in order to maintain its dominant position in the market, Café Coffee Day/ Outlet
needs to adopt aggressive promotion and marketing strategies to enhance its Digital/ Social
media image and to increase customer footfall by the following ways;
1. Promoting Social Media Pages and Good Experiences with the Customers for
enhancing brand loyalty and customer experience on its social media pages and
consistently engaging customers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube through
promotional videos and campaign.
2. The CCD/Outlet ordering App needs to be customised as per the location and store
menu offerings to enhance customer experience.
3. The referral program , reward point system and coupon offers in complimentary
websites needs to be strengthened with better promotional and attractive offers to
gain the market share.
4. Also CCD is giving its store branding space to others to advertise their products as an
external revenue earning measure, this strategy can be better utilized to promote
complementary products which can be bundled and sold through the stores for
further improving the store revenue.

6.2.5 Process
The Process needs to be overhauled by incorporation Human Touch/Personal Care of
Customers, Gratitude for Availing service, Feedback and Outlet Diary.

External Marketing: According to the market survey, the outlet’s staff received only an
average rating for their behaviour and service. Café Coffee Day needs to work hard at this
aspect, especially considering they are a service sector organization that is looking at large
expansion.

Page 21 of 23
Internal marketing : Café Coffee Day should look into its current recruitment selection and
most importantly, its current training policies. Combination of ample bonuses and health
benefits with strong emphasis on worker self improvement through training. Special wellness
seminar and get-to-know-you events outside work help create a caring atmosphere.

Interactive marketing : Describes the employees skill in serving the client. Clients judge
services not only by its technical quality(was the product good?) but also by its functional
quality(Did employees show concern and care in doing the service). Delegating autonomy to
frontline staff promotes closer employee cooperation and hence increases the customer
satisfaction and retention.

6.2.6 People
People are considered one of the most important assets of Café Coffee Day. The whole
company is successful through a huge chain of people who manage the functioning of CCD.
At the J P Nagar outlet of CCD itself people management is done top to bottom, with senior
Café In charge and service providers (permanent staff) to the temporary staff (contractual
labour) who focus on the upkeep of the store. Pay for the people may vary from Rs 5000 to
Rs 85000 (excluding the contractual labour) depending upon the person’s role in the outlet.
Usually people with some experience in competitive Café chains are given preference and
they work in shifts. Café Coffee Day employees sport a uniform designed for them and are
very gentle while talking to the customers whether it is taking the orders, serving or taking
the bill. Employees attending the bill desk greet the customers when they approach to place
their order with a warm smile. CCD gives a great importance to customer engagement. This
tell about people strategy in the marketing mix of Café Coffee Day.

Page 22 of 23
Motivation and personal skill are laid emphasize upon. Their employees are like friend to
the customer but at the same time they know about the international standards of hygiene
and cleanliness and personal grooming.

6.2.7 Physical Evidence

Café Coffee Day has used bright red and purple colours in its logo. RED stands for leadership,
vitality and passion for coffee. Café is noticeably larger in the logo to denote that Café Coffee
Day pioneered the café concept in India way back in 1996.
Architecture and Décor is Largely wood and granite-based interior with young colours of
today, like red, lime green, yellow, orange, and purple predominate. The literature provided
by Café Coffee Day is indicative of its youthful image. The menus, posters, pamphlets are all
designed to attract young and young at heart. The J P Nagar outlet is well designed, with
magazines and plush sofas for visitors to read and relax while they await their coffee. They
also have their magazine called as ‘Café Beat’, which is published monthly at their Bangalore
head office and distributed throughout the branches. Their interior design and decorations
offer a tangible and unique experience to the guests.

The Marketing Mix : Recommendations have been made for the Café Coffee Day Outlet as
well as the Brand in terms of Long Term and Short Term measures based on the feedback and
the prime core business of the coffee chains. These recommendations need to be developed
in to an Action Plan for Adoption along with set milestones so as to achieve the much needed
emergence of the components of the Marketing Mix : The 7Ps in Café Coffee Day JP Nagar
Outlet.
