Marketing Environment
Marketing environment means all the forces and factors out side the
marketing that affects the marketing management ability to build a
successful relationship with the target customers.
When the McDonalds started it business in the Pakistan first they have to
consider the market environment of the Pakistan. There are four
considerable factors in the marketing environment of the Pakistan. These
are product, price, place, and promotion.
And other is micro and macro environment factors those have much
influence on the marketing process of McDonalds are discuss below,
1: Competitors
The microenvironment factor has a lot of influence on McDonald. because
the McDonalds is a fast food restaurant chain and it has a large no of
competitors in this field and to tackle its competitors MacDonald’s is trying
to understanding the needs and wants of the target customers and
providing them the superior services and products.
2: Demographic Environment.
Demographic environment of a country include the study of characteristic
such as age, gender, race, occupation and density of the people of that
country.
So the McDonalds find out and introduced there products in those areas
where there products will be readily accepted. They also studied the buying
power of people their age level and the intensity of population in different
regions. And then McDonalds decided to offer different types of products
satisfying each and every customer of fast food industry.
3: Economic Environment
The economic environment means buying power of the people. The fast
food industry of Pakistan is increasing day-by-day this encourages
McDonalds to start their new outlets in all the major cities of Pakistan.
McDonalds also consider the infrastructure of fast food industry of
Pakistan before starting its operation. The purchasing power of the
individuals was also studied to decide that in which areas they should
open their new outlets.
4. Social and Cultural Atmosphere
When McDonalds started its business in Pakistan nine years ago people
of Pakistan were not font of eating fast food and McDonalds was not
generating too much revenues at that time but with the passage of time
the interest of people has developed towards fast food and it has become
a culture specially for the high class to go and eat fast food from
expensive restaurants like McDonalds.
As McDonalds is an American base company so it is facing many problems
in Pakistan in its operation. Some times people show hate against it for this
reason. for example , At least 11 people were injured in two explosions in
a KFC and a McDonalds outlet in Pakistan’s southern city of Karachi
4. Political and Legal forces
Political conditions of Pakistan are steady and this promotes the foreign
investors to come in Pakistan and start their business or expand it. For
those companies who are already operating in Pakistan. Government of
Pakistan has imposed restriction for McDonalds to provide Halal food in
Pakistan and McDonalds has to follow that restriction. Also 15% general
sales tax is imposed by government which McDonalds is paying
completely.

PRODUCT LIFE CYLE
The product life cycle means the course of product, its sales and profits
over its life time .
it involves five distinct stages:
Product development stage
Growth
Maturity
Decline
If we see the McDonalds in the product life cycle then it will lie in the
growth regions for the Pakistan. Because in the Pakistan McDonalds
was introduced just 9 years ago, and now its sale is increasing rapidly
but average cost is also high. McDonalds profit in the Pakistan is not
much high because it is yet trying to get maximum market shares. and
now McDonalds is offering such products those have distinct features
and it is also trying to increase the no of distributing outlets. So
because of these bases we can say that McDonalds lie in the growth
region of the PLC.
Distribution channel of McDonalds in
Pakistan
Distribution channel is a set of interdependent organization involved in the
process of making a product or service available for use or consumption
by the consumer or business user.
McDonalds in the Pakistan is using the vertical marketing system as well
as in whole world.
In this type of the distribution same organization manufacture the products
distribute them and sale them. McDonalds is also doing same thing.
Vertical marketing system
PROBLEMS FACING McDonald’s IN
PAKISTAN:-
manufacture
wh
oles
al
er
retailer
consumer
There are also many problems for Mc in PAKISTAN,
One of the major problems for McDonald’s is the affordability of their
products for the people of PAKISTAN.
As PAKISTAN is the developing country so the average income of people
is very low, so a large number of people cannot afford to visit McDonald’s.
The second problem for Mc is that they represent the western taste or
style of food which is totally opposite to the traditional food of PAKISTAN.
So Mc attracts a very low percentage of people to visit.
Thirdly the factor of hesitation and lack of confidence also count as a
problem of Mc .
People feel shy and hesitation to visit MC.
In PAKISTAN Mc also facing the problems of place.
In PAKISTAN Mc branches are in few big cities so, the people of small
cities are not aware about the Mc.
McDonald’s is also use it’s promotion only in the big cities and in specific
areas for the specific people.
SOLUTIONS:-
They shuld try to reduce the prices of there products because
most of the people of PAKISTAN cannot afford the products of
McDonald’s.
They should also try to introduce the product according to the
tast of the people of PAKISTAN
They should try to focus the people of whole country while
advertising and try to increase the locations in Pakistan.
