CONCLUSION 
Marketing Strategies implied by McDonald's clearly gives the entire comprehensive 
information that is necessary for the growth and development of a business 
enterprise. 
Basically, the strategies that are implemented by McDonald's includes many basic 
essentials features like market research, innovative ideas, customers views, 
forecasting consumers demand, planning, organizing etc, these are the few basic 
essentials elements that plays a vital role for the successful business and also in 
creating the brand name of a product. 
Today, in this fast moving dynamic world the demand for goods and services are 
increasing at an alarming rate due to which there is greater competency and 
competitors ruling in the market. 
Therefore, most of the companies adopt different types of marketing strategies in 
order to serve their customers in a more better and efficient manner than their 
competitors so that, their business can easily survive in the market. 
Let me conclude by quoting this quote by Ray Kroc 
"Perfection is very difficult to achieve, and perfection was what I wanted in 
McDonald's. Everything else was secondary for me."
