Introduction
The fast food industry is probably one of the biggest businesses in the country
today. Industry sales hit nearly P8.5 billion in 1982 (Fabe, 1993:p21). The phenomenal
growth is evidenced by the rapid expansion of fast food chains in key areas in Metro
Manila and the surrounding towns, as well as in emerging urban centers in other parts
of the country, as in Cebu City. The fast food business has grown rapidly because
dining out has become a part of the Filipinos' life style. Many office employees, and
even some employers, also eat in their offices, availing themselves of the take out
delivery service of the fast food chains. Working wives, having less time to cook, often

assortment of the products and services purchased, the prices and features of these
products and services, and the manner in which they are made available are all results
of marketing decisions. Furthermore, people are bombarded daily with messages about
all these products and services and about the organizations that offer them through
advertising, an essential part of the marketing scene. This is to say that marketing is
There are many definitions which provide a clear insight into what marketing is all
a about. One of the best describes marketing as the the way in which an organization
matches its human, financial, and physical resources with the wants and needs of its
customers. The reason why every organization makes use of varied marketing
strategies in order to fit into the needs and wants of their consumers. But no matter how
good the product is, interest rates, new laws, fashion, etc. can affect its attractiveness to
customers. In order to make sense of these factors and put them into an
understandable form, they are actually classified as the marketing mix and the
marketing environment.
The marketing mix is the name given to the main demand-influencing variables

offer in terms of both price and performance. If one of these is missing or wrong from
the customers point of view, a long-term relationship will be difficult to sustain. Effective
marketing management wields these variables into a coordinated whole in the market
place in exactly the right combination for the targeted customers. This is the reason why
every enterprise exerts an extra effort in providing the best marketing program not just
to satisfying their target markets needs and wants but to go beyond their expectations.

students. A more demanding student clientele suggest an urgent need for educational
institutions to have a strong marketing orientation. Thus, if schools wish to survive, they
need to do some drastic changes and shun the traditional belief that students and the

Methodology
This study made use of descriptive research method with the questionnaire as
the major tool for gathering data. There were four groups of respondents for this study
composed of thirty (30) school administrators, forty-five (45) faculty members, forty-five
(45) non-academic personnel, and one hundred eighty (180) students from the three (3)
selected Higher Education Institutions in Metro Manila. Random sampling was used in
respondents. On the other hand, convenience sampling was employed in selecting the
student respondents from the selected HEIs. The following statistical tools and
techniques were used in this study: frequency and percentage, weighted mean,
The results of this study are organized in eight (8) sections according to the
administrators in the current study are not in consonance with the study of Tsend (2000)
which found that no group of higher education leaders in Mongolia was rated as high in
46
terms of their practices even by their own self-assessment. Although leadership in the
selected HEIs was found generally effective, the lowest ratings of the respondents with
efforts and achievements suggests the need for school administrators to strengthen
stakeholders and other knowledge producers within and outside higher education,
This finding is supported in the study of Tsend (2000) which likewise found out that the
assessment on the 8Ps of services marketing were all verbally interpreted as agree.
By and large, it can be deduced that the four groups of respondents were satisfied with
the marketing strategies adopted by the selected HEIs in terms of the 8Ps of services
hand, the lowest ratings on price, people and promotion implies the need to review the
marketing strategies adopted in these areas. The foregoing findings are in consonance
47
with the findings of Simbajon (2007) as to the positive ratings of the respondents on the
marketing strategies employed by the selected HEI. Likewise, this is supported by Yu-
Tings (2007) study with regard to the marketing strategies of higher education
institutions being in the middle level. However, the findings of the current study do not
share the results in the study of Soriano (2004) which found out that marketing
strategies employed by HEIs in Region I are slightly effective. With regard to the
marketing strategies most favorable to students, while the findings of the current study
showed that product strategy was most favorable to the respondent students, this was
not true in the case of Yu-Tings (2007) study which found that place strategy had the
highest approval among students. This is likewise in contrary to the findings of the study
of Robles (2000) which noted the product strategy having received the lowest rating.
Quality, People, and Physical Evidence was rejected. The respondent school
administrators recorded the highest rating in almost all areas in the marketing mix
except in People, wherein the respondent faculty members posted the highest rating.
The respondent students disclosed the lowest overall rating in all areas. This finding
suggests that among the four groups of respondents, the respondent students tend to
be more critical of the marketing strategies adopted by the selected HEIs in terms of the
institutions, they have high expectations that excellent educational services and facilities
be provided to them in exchange for the money (tuition fees) spent for their education.
48
Product and Promotion was accepted. This indicates congruence in the assessments
of the four groups of respondents as to the marketing strategies adopted in this area.
This finding is corroborated in the study of Simbajon (2007) which also found that the
agree, and implies that the respondent students were generally satisfied with the
selected HEIs. This suggests that the selected HEIs have met or exceeded the needs
preference in studying in the selected HEIs and even recommending their respective
schools to others as a good place to study and learn. These are similar with the
findings of Simbajons (2007) as to the high level of satisfaction of students with their
respective HEIs.
The results further implies that the more effective are the school administrators in
and excellence, and in supporting improvement and involvement, the higher will be the
level of satisfaction and loyalty of students with their respective HEIs. On the other
hand, the more satisfied and loyal are the students with their respective HEIs,the more
motivated will the school administrators be in the effective discharge of their leadership
There were moderate correlations between student satisfaction and loyalty and
and Quality, People, and Place/Location. This finding was supported by the computed
49
Pearson r values of .674, .674, .621, .607 and .494, respectively. A part of the
foregoing findings is similar to the findings in the study of Watson (1998) which also
showed that faculty-student interaction, which is categorized under People in the current
study, is one of two most important variables which influences their level of satisfaction
with the overall campus environment. A low correlation was observed between student
satisfaction and loyalty and their assessment as to the marketing strategies under
Promotion. This was denoted by the computed Pearson r value of .316. On the other
hand, data showed negligible correlation between student satisfaction and loyalty and
their assessment on Product, based on the computed Pearson r value of .168. It can
be deduced from the above findings that the marketing strategies adopted by the
selected HEIs are directly correlated to student satisfaction with and loyalty to the
selected HEIs. This implies that students tend to be more satisfied with and loyal to
their respective schools when marketing strategies offered by these schools met or
exceed their needs and expectations particularly in terms of the different educational
services offered and the effective management of physical plant, not to mention the
Conclusion
Based on the significant findings of the study, the following conclusions were
reached:
HEIs vary significantly. The ratings of the three groups of respondents are significantly
lower than the self-ratings of the respondent school administrators in all dimensions of
leadership effectiveness.
The four groups of respondents are satisfied with the marketing strategies
adopted by the selected HEIs in terms of the 8Ps of services marketing particularly in
terms of place/location, process and product. However, considering the lowest ratings of
the respondents on price, people and promotion imply the need to review the marketing
marketing strategies adopted by the selected HEIs in terms of the 8Ps of the marketing

B. Articles/ Journal
Its 2017 and fast food restaurants are starting to catch on: green is in and greasy
is out. Weve all seen the Instagram accounts with millions of followers that only post
acai bowls and kale salads. Okay, so what does this mean for fast food restaurants, and
more importantly- what does this mean for their marketing strategy?
Whether the menu is organic, locally sourced, or cage-free, its clear that the fast
casual restaurant model is winning with consumers. The Chipotles and Shake Shacks
of the world have revolutionized consumer expectations of what fast food might actually
include. With healthier consumer mindsets, companies like McDonalds will need to
place a greater emphasis on the food, not just the fast when it comes to effective fast
food marketing strategies. While we still crave the efficiency that comes with a quick
meal, that doesnt mean that we arent compelled to make healthier choices as we take
on the world, either. Well take a pricier burrito bowl over the $1 menu McChicken if it
means feeling good about my eating choices (and sparking jealousy from my followers
on Snap chat).
So what are the fast food giants doing to shake things up? For starters, McDonalds is
shifting its philosophy from billions served to billions heard. Burger King and
52
McDonalds have added salads to the menu, and Mickey Ds is now serving antibiotic-
free chicken, milk from cows not treated with growth hormones, as well as egg white
breakfast sandwiches. Not without notice, the company is taking steps to clean up its
act, so to speak.
The misstep here, though, is the threat of brand inconsistency when it comes to
strategic fast food marketing. Is McDonalds attempting to ditch their old image,
replacing it with the notion that theyve evolved into the go-to restaurant for quick and
indulgent? While Im glad McDonalds has added more health-conscious items to the
menu, and I dont believe the chain has to lean one way or another in an effort to remain
successful on the fast food marketing front, the traditional image they have consistently
held is going to be a mighty tough one to shedand one they shouldnt be so quick to

ways for smaller fast food companies to stay in touch with their companies is through
marketing research. A small fast food company must know what key customers want
Fast food companies can drive traffic through collectibles, particularly those that
kids enjoy. Select a movie or popular animated film. Find companies who sell dolls,
glasses or other mementos that are related to the movie. Offer four or six characters or

popular theme for your collectibles that other fast food companies are not marketing.
Market Segmentation
Small fast food companies often use market segmentation as a marketing tool.
Market segmentation is the process of identifying key buying groups that patronize your
restaurant. This information is largely obtained through market research surveys, asking
people demographic information such as age, income and household size. For
example, the majority of your customers may be 18 to 24 years old and earn less than
$40,000 per year. You could then locate clusters of this demographic group within a 5-
mile radius of your restaurant. Obtain the addresses of these residents and mail
coupons to them. You can also segment your market by various activities, attitudes and
Loyalty Programs
Frequency card programs are a popular type of loyalty program for fast food
restaurants. Create a display and sign-up forms to promote your frequency card
program. Invite people to fill out an application. Reward people according to the
frequency in which they visit your restaurant. For example, you could offer people a free
drink after their first four visits, then free fries after their next four visits. Ultimately, a
customer could earn a free meal after 12 visits. Keep repeating this cycle for six, eight
Societal Marketing
Societal or social marketing is designed more for getting ideas across than making
values because of your charitable work may, in turn, patronize your fast food restaurant.
Americans embrace fast food because it fits well with the busy pace of everyday
life, and because it looks and tastes good. But the $184 billion a year fast food industry
also uses a battery of marketing strategies to keep its foothold in the front line of
modern culture. Marketing is continually evolving, but there are some basic strategies
Consumers don't have to hunt for fast food, its everywhere. Fast food
restaurants often appear in clusters, but individual chains also open multiple restaurants
within short distances. Although it might seem like over-saturation, its a basic element
of fast food marketing. A continual trail of highly visible brand names and logos has
become part of the landscape where people live, work and play. The uninterrupted
access to fast food reinforces brand recognition and underscores the ease and
The Center for Science in the Public Interest estimates the fast food industry
spends about $10 billion annually on marketing products directly to kids. Ads for kids
meals feature cartoon characters and film stars who tout free toys inspired by popular
movies and television shows. Websites offers kids' clubs with stories, games and
contests that engage children while exposing them to brand names and logos. The fast
food industry targets young teens with product placement in music videos, movies and
video games. Mobile marketing campaigns send out text messages with coupons for
free products, and Web-based rewards programs offer free merchandise and meals.
According to Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, the goal is to initiate and
develop a customer relationship with kids and teens that will last through adulthood.
Fast food marketing reacts to the moods and needs of customers, and while
emphasizing value and affordability have always been part of the industry's overall
strategy, those product qualities have become even more important in a tight economy.
Free samples, value menus that feature items for $1 and special monthly deals are all
meals with free drinks or side orders and senior discounts also bring in customers
The fast food industry has been criticized for menus that offer processed foods
high in fat, and packaging that generate tons of waste. The industry has responded with
ads featuring whole foods purchased from American farmers, and fresh, low-calorie
menu options geared toward health-conscious consumers. Some companies have also
use of recycled materials. Through marketing, the fast food companies have presented
themselves as socially responsible businesses that share the public's concern about
health and the environment. Social responsibility marketing is aimed at consumers who
try to make purchases that reflect their values. Fast food companies use social
responsibility marketing to convince consumers they can buy their convenient and
As people become busier than ever, eating outside the home has become
extremely popular, and this has led to increased competition in the fast food industry. As
a result, there has been an increase in the number of fast food marketing strategies, as
If fast food marketing is to be successful, then it has to focus on the things that
the consumers are looking for. That includes the convenience of being able to get food
on the go, without having to wait for a long time. In addition, consumers are also looking
for budget-friendly food that is inexpensive, as they often have to make purchases for
57
the entire family. Fast food restaurants like have been able to take advantage of the by
providing meals that are affordable, flavorful, and can be picked up on the go.
In order to attract customer fast food marketing strategies tend to focus on:
Kids: A lot of fast food establishments have kids meals. These meals are small and
tasty, and feature foods that kids are sure to enjoy, like chicken nuggets, and fries. More
importantly, many of these kids meals also include toys, usually of movie or cartoon
characters, making them doubly appealing to kids. By including these toys, fast food
restaurants are more attractive to children, and because parents will tend to go with
what their kids want, these fast food restaurants are guaranteed more customers.
Convenience Factor: This is the watchword for the fast food industry, as consumers
are looking for food that is easy to order and pick up. This has led to a growth in the
individuals, the drive-thru makes it very easy to get a meal on the go, because you dont
even have to get out of your car. In addition, they have a larger branch network, as
outlets seem to pop up around every corner, making it that much easier to buy a meal.
Giving you more for less: Fast food marketing strategies focus on giving consumers
more of a product, at a lower cost these meal deals often come with add-ons like drinks,
cake, or a toy, and this makes them appear to be very good buys for the budget
conscious family. This is the audience that the fast food restaurants seek to cater to.
They also offer special promotions like 2 for 1 deals, in order to convince consumers to
Loyalty Programs: Many fast food restaurants also have loyalty programs that reward
those persons that visit the restaurant often. Customers simply have to complete an
application, and they are given a loyalty card which is updated every time they visit.
When the card is full, then the customer is usually entitled to some free offer, or a
discount.
These are just some of the fast food marketing strategies that are used to satisfy

Today is the era of fast food chains. These food service chains are everywhere
and earn hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Americans for one, continue to show
their affinity to fast food. According to Lawrence Scholer, a book reviewer from
Darthmouth, Americans gulp down millions of pounds of French fries and hamburgers
daily. Also, each American eats an average of three hamburgers and four orders of
French fries per week. The American love for fast food even led to it being dubbed as
the Fast food Nation. This affinity to fast food, serves true even for the rest of the
world.
How exactly has fast food popularity gained its momentum? Much has to do with
its selling point. Fast food chains sell convenience and taste. The other half of its
success lies on the marketing strategy that fast food companies choose to embark on.
59
Convenience is a major selling point for fast food chains. Literally, these
companies serve their food over the counter. People choose from the menu, servers
immediately place them on a tray, and off the customer goes. This coinciding with the
faster pace of life in the modern world, places fast food on the regular dining choices for
more and more people. Majority of fast food chains also offer drive-thru services.
Driving to work or school in a hurry? Grabbing food is just as easy as driving thru a strip,
Everyone is acquainted with the huge difference between the taste of a platter of
green salad, and a serving of crispy fries. Fast food chains recognize this, and capitalize
on their taste advantage. Yes, burgers, fries and other selections from fast foods are
cooked in fat. This makes their food tastier and more attractive.

food chains have branches practically everywhere? Answer is easy, because this is part

any fast-food chains troubles start with fast-casual competitors, like Five Guys or
65
Jersey Mikes. Its true that fast casual, the foodservice segment synonymous with
Chipotle Mexican Grill, continues to grow faster than quick service. But its not the whole
story. Legacy fast-food brands are also losing market share to smaller chains in a
segment in between fast casual and quick service, which Technomic calls QSR-Plus.
QSR-Plus has clear differences that are resonating with consumers: Menus are
simpler and smaller, and the ingredient quality for core offerings is often higher than that
for typical QSRs. Prices are slightly higher than common fast-food price points, but
justifiably so, given consumers repeated willingness to pay a little bit more for food they
consider fresh, real or premium. Moreover, QSR-Plus prices sit below fast casuals
averages.

Unlike the developed countries, the Lifestyle and concept of healthier food have

Chinese fast food restaurant, thus making Jollibee a part of the Asian quick service
restaurant segment.
In 2004, Jollibee acquired Chinese fast food chain Yonghe Dawang for $22.5
million. Jollibee entered into a joint-venture contract with US-based Chow Fun Holdings
LLC, the developer and owner of Jinja Bar Bistro in New Mexico, in which Jollibee
acquired a 12% stake for $950,000. In 2005, Jollibee acquired Red Ribbon, a bakeshop
business in the Philippines. In less than 5 years, Jollibee managed to nurture the
business and transform it into a popular and rapidly growing bakeshop chain. In 2006,

for the researcher to give a serious thought to ethical aspects in every stage of this
study. Therefore in this study the researcher duly informed the respondents in the study
that their participation was voluntary and that they were free to omit answers to any
particular questions if they so choose. This was in line with Trochim (2006) who argued

that voluntary participation requires that respondents in the study are not coerced into
participating in the research. The researcher also protected their confidentiality and
identity through use of numbers in line with Punch (2003) who alluded that the
participants should remain anonymous throughout the study. The purpose of the study
was fully explained to them in advance. Informed consent was obtained from all the
respondents in answering the questions. The researcher was open and honest in
dealing with them. Those respondents who wanted to withdraw from the study were
allowed to do so to avoid involuntary responses. Last but not least, the researcher
avoided information plagiarism and fraud through acknowledgement of all sources used
in the study.
