According to Porter’s first force, we should take a look at Dunkin’ Donuts competitors. Their top competitor is obviously Starbucks, followed by Krispy Kreme and McDonalds. “But many who have struggled to compete with Starbucks have had to do so with limited resources or only a few franchises. Not so with Dunkin’ Donuts, whose parent brand, Dunkin’ Brands, also owns Baskin-Robbins.” (Exploring Management). Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks are in a tough rivalry, but Dunkin’ Donuts is holding their ground and trying to come out victorious. The second Force is based on the new entrants in the coffee and donuts community. This could cause some decline in Dunkin’ Donuts business, but after everything settles in I think that they will continue to be on top and smoke their competition with their uniqueness. As long as their customers are perfedctedsdfasdfsadfasdf, the business owners and employees will be happy.

Due to the fact that Dunkin’ Donuts is already successful company with many loyal customers, our group decided to make your company the topic of our choosing. Because of the current success of the company, we realized that Dunkin’ Donuts already has an effective marketing strategy. Instead, we wanted to create another aspect to this current marketing strategy to take Dunkin’ Donuts to another level. We have spent a great deal of our semester researching your company and effective advertising methods. Because of this, we hope that you will find this proposal to be beneficial for the marketing department and could possibly incorporate it into your marketing strategy in the future. Since your company is very successful currently, we did not feel it was necessary to change any of the current marketing strategies and techniques. However, we do feel it is time to incorporate some new and young ideas. Through our research we noticed that Dunkin’ Donuts is lacking in the many college communities. As a result, we are concerned that college students will support companies that have a strong presence on campus. Because many people quickly become loyal customers after one positive experience, these students are likely to remain loyal to the companies on campus. This can potentially be a problem for Dunkin’ Donuts, but with the simple marketing campaign we have designed this problem could be resolved. As stated...

...Marketing strategy is the mantra through which the company hopes to create customer value and achieve profitable customer relationships. A company’s heart beat can be measured by the sales it makes which by definition, is the amount of purchases made by customers. For this very reason, companies need to be customer centered. A market share is only captured by acquiring customers and maintaining them by delivering greater value. However, the customers are diverse individuals of different tastes and thus, it is required to divide the total customers in optimal segments that are expected to yield greatest results. This process involves, market segmentation, market targeting, differentiation and positioning. Market segmentation is dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have different needs, characteristics, or behaviors, and who might require separate products or marketing programs. For instance, a more modern, hip and artsy McDonald’s branch at Union Square in NYC would appeal to the Yuppie customers in the region as opposed to the average American taste that demands the plain and original McDonald’s feel as seen in a branch in White Plains. Market Targeting is the process of evaluating each market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more segments to enter. Market Targeting is the process of evaluating each market segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more segments to enter. A company with limited resources might decide to serve only one or...

...DeSales University MK 502: Marketing Strategy Midterm Case October 14, 2013 Assess Dunkin’ Donuts’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats Strengths: * Dunkin’ Donuts is a very popular franchise that has established a great image and brand through its powerful marketing and operational strategies of its variety of products, low prices and customer service. The company has worldwide operations and have significant power over their supplies due to their experience and support from Allied Domecq. Dunkin’ Donuts also has many different convenient locations and uses CRM in a lot of their marketing strategies to reward their customer base. Weaknesses * Because Dunkin’ Donuts is a retailer, they are not well equipped to produce bagels themselves. They rely solely on outsourcing. One drawback of this is constantly running out of products or specific flavors. This allows them to become too dependent on suppliers and disappoint their customer base. Opportunities * The growing demand of coffee and breakfast items for traveling families and working adults has spread across the US as well as Europe. Bagels appear to many different audiences such as children, working adults and retired adults. There is a lot of opportunity to expand with their products.

...Case Analysis 1 Case 7: Dunkin’ Donuts: Betting Dollars on Donuts February 16, 2010 Case 7: Dunkin’ Donuts: Betting Dollars on Donuts Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for Coffee Industry Porter’s five forces provide a great deal of information about the attractiveness of the coffee industry. There are many customers in the market for coffee. According to Schermerhorn, (2007) “400 billion cups of coffee are consumed every year making it the most popular beverage globally.” This is a opportunity that is shown in the coffee industry. Many customers for coffee provide a large base of revenue for the coffee selling firms. There are a few big competitors that Dunkin’ Donuts needs to worry about for the future. Schermerhom (2007) states that” Starbucks [is] rethinking its positioning strategy and McDonald’s [is] offering a great tasting coffee at a reasonable price.” Starbucks is trying to position its coffee as a cheaper product. This will make Starbucks more of a competitor than in the past. Since McDonald’s is trying to sell a better tasting coffee, the company will also be more directly competing with Dunkin’ Donuts. Suppliers are another interesting part of the puzzle. According to the Dunkin’ Donuts website, Dunkin’ Donuts has reformulated its food and beverages according to its DDSMART criteria to meet healthier criteria. This healthier food probably costs more to make causing a threat to the company. Dunkin’ Donuts should advertise how their food meets these new standards...
