Figure: Marketing Strategy KEF has marketing strategy emphasis on the following facts: Market Segmentation Market targeting Differentiation Positioning A) Market Segmentation: Dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have different needs, characteristics or behaviors and who might require separate products or marketing programs. KEF mainly focus on following market segments. Figure: Market Segmentation Demographic Segmentation: variables such as age, gender, family size, income, occupation, education, religion, race and nationality.As one might expect, demographic segmentation variables are amongst the most popular bases for segmenting customer groups. Also, for practical reasons, there is often much more data available to help with the demographic segmentation process. KEF give their concern in following demographic segmentation:- Age: One of the first variables of demographic segmentation is age.
This is because consumer needs and wants change with their age. In KEF Generally there is no age limit focus by the KEF. The target and focus is on each and every individual in a society.KEF finds its largest demographic in the young of any society.
Figure: Age Life cycle stage: Closely connected to age, the life cycle stage of a consumer group defines what will be the need of that particular customer. For this KEF offer kids meal with toys and veggie burger for old age people. This demographic segment cannot be said as an "Age" segment because these customers are in specific phase of their "Life". Income: Another popular basis for segmentation is income. A person's income level combined with its accumulated wealth is the major determinant of the consumers' willingness to purchase a product.Income is the main decisive factor that influences consumers purchasing power.
Consumers with low incomes may not be able to purchase their desired products whereas consumer with higher incomes may not be satisfied with the existing product. In KEF Income is an important key factor for KEF. This factor decides which class is to be targeted. In the early rise of KEF they focused on the upper class but slowly are introducing economy meals that attract the lower to middle classes. Figure: Income Social Class: This plays a vital role in the demographic factor of the KEF.Generally they target upper class, upper middle class, middle class and middle lower class.
Because the items KEF sell are very expensive. Figure: Social Class Family size: whole families rather than single persons. This being the reason for their Family Meals which are basically bundled items served at a nominally cheaper rate. Figure: Family Size Religion: Bangladesh is a country of religious group. The two main groups are Muslim and alcohol free.

Key Spots: Tourist spots Commercial Areas University Canteen Cryptographic Segmentation: Cryptographic segmentation is dividing a market into different groups based on social class, lifestyle, or personality characteristics is called cryptographic segmentation. KEF divides market on the basis of cryptographic variables like: LifeStyle (Lifestyle is not specific) Personality (Personality is ambitious and authoritarian) Behavioral Segmentation In behavioral segmentation, consumers are divided into groups according to their knowledge of, attitude towards, use of or response to a product. It is actually based on the behavior of the consumer. Occasions: The first form of behavioral segmentation is selling product in different occasions.
