PROMOTION

COMPETITION
We can compare the price of their products with mcdonald, dominoes and pizza hut. If the competitor provides the same product at a lower price then the organization usually lowers the price of its product too. In the case of kfc, fried chicken is its main selling point and controls a monopoly over the indian fast food market (only with fried chicken). It prices its burgers, french fries and soft beverages with relation to its competitors.
