3.1 Market Segmentation
Running a successful business is not like a field of dreams; you can build it but they
might not come true. You have to let people know about the product or service you
offer, and persuade them to buy or use it. And you have to let people know about your
product or service repeatedly. Market segmentations are the techniques used to attract
the right customer.
Objectives of segmentation are:
1) To reduce risk in deciding where, when, how, and to whom a product, service, or
brand will be marketed;
2) To increase marketing efficiency by directing effort specifically toward the designated
segment in a manner consistent with that segment's characteristics.
3.2 Demographic Segmentation
Demographic segmentation consists of dividing the market into groups based on
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.
KFC 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 KFC Generally there is no age
limit focus by the KFC. The target and focus is on each and every individual in a society.
KFC finds its largest demographic in the young of any society.
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 KFC offer kids meal with toys and veggi
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 satisfed with the
existing product.

10. 10
In KFC Income is an important key factor for KFC. This factor decides which class is to
be targeted. In the early rise of KFC they focused on the upper class but slowly are
introducing economy meals that attract the lower to middle classes.
Social Class:
This plays a vital role in the demographic factor of the KFC. Generally they target upper
class, upper middle class, middle class and middle lower class. Because the items KFC
sell are very expensive.
3.3 Geographic segmentation
The market is segmented according to geographic criteria—nations, states, regions,
countries, cities, neighbourhoods, or zip codes.. With respect to region, in rainy regions
you can sell things like raincoats, umbrellas and gumboots. In hot regions you can sell
summer wear. In cold regions you can sell warm clothes.
KFC in Bangladesh only focus following geographic segmentation. These are:-
City:
Because Bangladesh is a developing country and the fast food business highly
profitable in only Dhaka and Chittagong city that’s why KFC only focus on this two city.
Key Spots are:
 Tourist spots
 Commercial Areas
 University
3.4 Psychographic Segmentation
Psychographic segmentation is dividing a market into different groups based on social
class, lifestyle, or personality characteristics is called psychographic segmentation.
KFC divides market on the basis of psychographic variables like:
Life Style (Lifestyle is not specific)
Personality (Personality is ambitious and authoritarian)
3.5 Behavioural Segmentation
In behavioural 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. In
Bangladesh KFC can permit their customer to celebrate various occasions. They also

11. 11
offer their customer on cricket match “KFC Popcorn Chicken”, on Valentine’s Day
special couple discount offer.
Benefits:
Several products are targeted towards the benefits sought by the customer. For this
KFC only focus some social class.
Loyalty Status:
There are two ways to grow a business. First is to acquire new customers and second is
to retain your existing customers. The more loyal your customer is to you, the more your
customer base will increase. That’s one more kind of behaviour which marketers target.
In case of KFC, they have some advantage because they are well known chain
international fast food company.

4.1 Conclusion
KFC is the largest brand of Yum Restaurants, a company that owns other leading
brands like Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, A&W and Long John Silver. Transcom foods limited
have brought KFC franchise in Bangladesh for the first time In Gulshan area, Dhaka.
KFC has introduced many offerings for its growing customer base in Bangladesh while
staying rooted in the taste legacy of Colonel Harland Sander’s secret recipe. Its
signature dishes include the “crispy outside, juicy inside” Hot and Crispy Chicken,
flavourful and juicy Original Recipe chicken, the spicy, juicy & crunchy Zinger Burger,
Toasted Twister, Chicken Bucket and a host of beverages and desserts. For the
vegetarians in India, KFC also has great tasting vegetarian offerings that include
the Veggie Burger, Veggie and etc.
KFC has the culture of team. Teams are blending of old and new employees but KFC
more on old employees. The firm believes in learning of old employees then recruiting
new employees. Moreover product highly refreshes the oldness as recipe is modified
according the culture.
In recent survey it has been proved that most people in love to take home parcel rather
than dining out, but unfortunately KFC do not have any home delivery service like
McDonald or other food chain storestherefore, we would say that KFC should definitely
have a home delivery service.
KFC is one of the few food brands that have been surviving for so long with an
aristocratic brand image. Just because of its quality it has been holding a competitive
position so far. We expect to grow its reputation and business in future and hope our
marketing plan will contribute in reaping the root towards a successful food chain in its
brighter future.
4.2 Recommendation:
KFC builds on past concepts. One of the most important and oldest resources “The
secret recipe” of 11 herbs is still used in meals, with modifications according to the taste
of local market. Most of the new meals offered are based on the old product concept of
providing quality chicken. It is very appreciable work to sustain old taste within
generation to generation.
