Burger Planet Positioning Paper: Draft

Disclaimer -- This is a rough draft, draft.  We still need to format it into an actual paper form.

Tasty, Filling, and amazingly Healthy


1. New menu options will boost sales among middle aged health concious women (who control the family budget). This will be supported by data we find about the amount of money Young (18 yrs old) to middle age (50 years old) women spend in comparison to the other demographics. Also how other quick-service restaurants have grown their profits by similar marketing.


“Burger Planet cares about its customers. For more than seven decades, the company has succeeded because it put customers first. We listen to our customers. And our customers desire healthy choices, of which we offer many,” said James E. Muellenbach III, CEO of Burger Planet.



"Burger Planet has been a leader in the Quick Service Restaurant industry in offering healthy menu choices. The company believes in encouraging customers to live healthier, active lifestyles and I have spent my life trying to teach women that lesson," said Jayne Petersen, fitness guru who helped Opal Whitcomb get in shape.


2. Jayne Peterson is also a convincing spokesperson for the new line because she is a representative that our target audience knows and respects. We can graph or outline in some way, her relatibility by cross referencing the audience's influence on market sales with their time spent watching the "opel whitcomb" television show.

Target Audience:

Female

Age 30-49

Family income below $75,000 a year

Has kids

  1. Good idea with all the outside information and statistics to support your talking points. Remember to expound upon the new healthy menu! Talk about what new benefits it offers and WHY it will benefit those target market moms.

  2. I really like how you gave healthy eating tips other than menu options. It makes it seem like burger planet cares about obesity in general and they aren't just going to use it for their advantage. Good job.

  5. It looks good Travis other than Natalie does have a point with the SWAT analysis. That might be something that you want to include. And also don't forget to really market to your target audience.

  7. I like the ideas that you are presenting and with information relating to how to lose weight and stay in shape, although I do think the emphasis needs to be more whats on the new menu that's healthy instead of focusing on ways to stay healthy.
