PROPOSED MARKETING STRATEGY

 SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

- Minute Burger is also known for the fresh and unique flavorful burger that they may want to
upgrade along with their services by creating new sites for their marketing strategy to get
back and compete in the 21st century market and coming future generations. Using Google
forms or any searching site, Minute Burger can easily show their ads to attract more
costumer. They can use search engine marketing strategies instead of just placing typical ads
and conquer different website above those web searches. Whether Minute Burger want to
connect with people who are looking for flavorful burgers or just a passerby, they can
develop a plan to put Minute Burger’s market up front and center of technology business
zone.

 BUZZ MARKETING
- Some of the common tactics used to create buzz are building tension around referrals and
events, causing controversy, or reaching out to bloggers and social media influencers. This
can be seen in the growing connection between marketing topics and traditional television
shows. In buzz marketing, Minute Burger can use "buzz" to create big things and let users
do the hard work. When done correctly, buzz marketing can help generate organic or at
least simple social engagements and conversations, web referrals, and more. Buzz
marketing is a viral marketing technique aimed at maximizing the potential for word-of-
mouth of Minute Burger’s particular campaign or product through conversations between
consumers' family and friends, or through larger discussions on social media platforms.
With Minute Burger using buzz marketing, their aim is for consumers to talk about their
products and services to increase brand awareness, increase sales and profits through
increased online traffic. As an example of buzz marketing, Minute Burger can decide to
promote their products through certain events centered on shows and stunts, and
consumers share their experiences by trying out the products and sharing them in daily
conversations offline and online.

 FRANCHISE IMPROVEMENT
- Minute burger is one of the top burger shops in the past years, but nowadays Minute
Burger’s business is not as good as it used to be. Some of the franchisees of Minute Burger
is filthy and not attractive at all. The paint was faded and issues of the place here and there
are so visible causing for their customers being unattracted to buy their products because of
the ambiance of the stall. So, one of the strategies that Minute Burger needs to improve is
the setting and impression of their stall. By that, the ambiance will become aesthetic and
the customers will be more attracted to buy. We suggest that Minute Burger need to
enhance the paint color and presentation tone of their stalls, renovate their place and build
a wholesome and warm atmosphere in every of their franchisees. With that, surely people
will go and buy in their stalls because it will be refreshing and eye catching. Minute Burger
also need to add more equipment to their stalls to conquer the needs of their customers
while waiting their orders.
  ABSTRACT ADVERTISING
- We know most of you are already familiar with Japanese advertisements. The one that are
often based less on an idea than on a feeling: they aim to create an impression or sense of
realization, hoping to convey the "essence" of a product. One example of abstract
advertisement is like the one that RC Cola did. It may seem weird but this advertisement
targets a broad audience, not just locally. With the RC Cola commercial, can you believe that
even Ellen DeGeneres noticed it? That’s why we proposed this marketing strategy for
Minute Burger as it will greatly increase their organic audience and create a wider prospect
for their business. If they will get to adapt this pop culture and trend the same as they
adapted to different seasonal trends, its not impossible for Minute Burger to be as
competent as Jollibee or Mcdonald’s for the upcoming years.

 LOYALTY PROGRAM
- Minute Burger’s loyalty program allows their customers to redeem customizable rewards. If
done right, loyalty programs can drive repeat sales. A lot of customers focus on earning
points and getting free burger. There are many restaurants that use this system such as
Starbucks, Jollibee or Burger king, that have attracted millions of customers thanks to their
loyalty programs. What makes a loyalty program successful? There are a multitude of
factors such as how simple it is to use, does it have a digital option, is it inclusive and is it
promoted on all available channels such as Instagram or inside their referral network?
Loyalty rewards programs might boost Minute Burger’s marketing and sales efforts because
they don’t focus solely on customers that have already been to their burger stand. If the
incentives are personalized and effective, Minute Burger can attract new clients.
