Today I am going to talk  about how chick-fil-a uses the 4 P's of marketing mix. Chick-fil-a uses several methods to advertise their products. Chick-fil-a uses the 4 P's of the market mix to understand what the product or service can offer and how to plan for a successful product offering. The 4 P's that the chick-fil-a uses are Product,Price, Promotion,and Place.The first P is Product. Chick-fil-a make their product fresh and daily. their fresh products are what separates them from other restaurants. Since chick-fil-a make fresh products, they make their price higher than any other restaurants to be reasonable and to make profit.The second P is Price. usually people tend to spend more money on a good product. Because of the quality of their product, chick-fil-a prices are higher than an average fast food restaurant. The third P is Promotion.The way chick-fil-a promote their products is through their religious beliefs and their fresh products to attract their customers. In their official statement, their corporate purpose is to "glorify God''. They make all of their business decisions around their religious beliefs. This gives them an advantage above their competitors because it attracts more people who also follow their beliefs. closing on Sunday is a very competitive advantage for Chick-fil-a because it shows that the company sticks to their beliefs. It draws in customers who follow those religious beliefs and it attracts loyal customers. Promotion includes elements such as advertising, public relation, social media marketing email marketing, video marketing and more. The last P is Place. “ From the billboards to water towers, TV to radios, there is no place that is off limits for the renegade cow’s self-preservation message.” Chick-fil-a uses pretty much everything to promote their products. They’ve been spotted hanging from the side of buildings and made an appearance on big professional sporting games. Obviously they’ve been very successful because of their restaurants across the country. Over the years they’ve inspired thousands of Americans to go to their local Chick-fil-a restaurant to celebrate what is now Cow Appreciation Day every july.
