INTRODUCTION
When developing your food delivery marketing plan, your first
step is to define who you will be targeting. You need to perform
tests that reveal insights such as your key demographic and
common trends you can benefit from. You will also need to
perform competitor research for best results. This will help you
identify which demographics will be harder to target and which
potential users are currently not properly catered for by your
competitors.

A defining question for all food delivery apps is how you will
work with food providers. For example, a discovery platform will
have different goals to an aggregated food delivery app. These
are critical questions that must be answered in order to lay the
foundations of your overall strategy. User personas are also
needed to successfully target different user types who will find

your product valuable.


MARKETING MANAGEMENT

Marketing management is the process of planning and


executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of
ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy
individual and organizational goals.

Marketing management is the organizational discipline which


focuses on the practical application of marketing orientation,
techniques and methods inside enterprises and organizations
and on the management of a firm's marketing resources and
Marketing management often conduct market research and
marketing research to perform marketing analysis. Marketers
employ a variety of techniques to conduct market research, but
some of the more common include:

● Qualitative marketing research, such as focus groups and


various types of interviews
● Quantitative marketing research, such as statistical surveys
● Experimental techniques such as test markets
● Observational techniques such as ethnographic (on-site)
observation

Marketing managers may also design and oversee various


environmental scanning and competitive intelligence processes to
help identify trends and inform the company's marketing analysis.
FIVE MARKETING MANAGEMENT

There are 5 marketing concepts that organizations adopt and


execute. These are; (1) production concept, (2) product concept, (3)
selling concept, (4) marketing concept, and (5) societal marketing
concept.The marketing concept is the strategy that firms implement
to satisfy customers’ needs, increase sales, maximize profit, and beat
the competition. There are 5 marketing concepts that organizations
adopt and execute. These are; (1) production concept,
(2) product concept, (3) selling concept, (4) marketing concept, and
(5) societal marketing concept.
4 P'S OF MARKETING

Product
The product is what the company is trying to sell to consumers. The first
step is to determine what product the company wants to sell that
consumers will want to purchase. The product should be unique and
different from what the competition is offering. The company must come
up with different features to help make this product innovative.
Determining the quality and how the product will be made will help
determine what type of market the product will be in. The product is the
center part of the marketing mix because without the product, there
would be no reason to use marketing.

Price
The price is how much the company should charge for the product.
There are many variables that come into play when deciding on the
price of an item. The price depends on how much it costs to make
the item as well as advertising costs, distribution costs, overhead
costs, competitor pricing, etc. Price is not something that will be set
in stone, because costs of goods may change or competitor pricing
may change. It is vital to have a set price but be prepared to change
the strategy if there is a fluctuation in the market.

For instance, you own a company that creates cases for cell
phones. You have developed different prototypes for the most
popular phones and are distributing them to a few different retail
companies. After taking into account advertising costs, production

costs, etc., you will be selling them to retail stores for a price of $4.

However, once a new cell phone version is developed, you will


have to lower the price because your product will not be in as much
demand, and the retail companies will not need as many to be
displayed.

Place
Another important variable to the success of a product is the place,
which involves determining where the product will be available for
consumers to purchase. It is important to be aware of who your target
audience - the group to whom you want to sell your product - is, and
where your product can best capture their attention. The place will
depend on the type of product being produced. If the goal is to sell the
product to as many consumers as possible, then you are going to want
to place the product in as many stores as possible. However, if the
product is meant to be exclusive, it may just be distributed to a few
different retail outlets.

PERMOTION

In marketing, promotion refers to any type of marketing


communication used to inform target audiences of the relative
merits of a product, service, brand or issue.
COMPETITORS

SWIGGY:Swiggy is India's largest and delivery platform, founded in 2014. Swiggy is

UBER EATS:Uber Eats' parent company Uber was founded in


2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick. The company began
food delivery in August 2014 with the launch of the UberFRESH
service in Santa Monica, California.In 2015, the platform was
renamed to UberEATS and the ordering software was released as
its own application, separate from the app for Uber rides Its London
operation opened in 2016.

In August 2018, Uber Eats changed its flat $4.99 delivery fee to a
rate that is determined by distances. The fee ranges from a $2
minimum to an $8 maximum. In the UK and Ireland, the delivery fee
is based on the value of the order. In February 2019, UberEats
announced that it would reduce its fee from 35 percent of the
order's value to 30 percent As part of its expansion into foreign
markets, the company announced its intention to open virtual
restaurants in the UK. Sometimes called cloud restaurants or cloud
kitchens, these are restaurant kitchens staffed to prepare and
deliver food, either for existing brick-and-mortar restaurants wishing
to move their delivery operations offsite, or for delivery-only
restaurants with no walk-in or dining room service.

FOOD PANDA: Foodpanda (stylized in lowercase as

owned by Delivery Hero, which is headquartered in Berlin,
Germany and operates with 20 brands in about 50 countries

FEATURES OF SERVICE

Services have some salient features which necessitate a new


vision, a distinct approach and a world-class professional
excellence to market effectively and profitably. The professionals
not well aware of the properties find it difficult to make creative
decisions. It is against this background that we go through the
salient features with the viewpoint of their instrumentality in
making the marketing decisions.

Feature # 1. Intangibility:

Intangibility is an important consideration that complicates the


functional responsibility of a marketing manager, especially while
influencing and motivating the prospects/customers. The goods of
tangible nature can be displayed, the prospects or buyers can have
a view and they can even test and make a trial before making the
buying decisions. The selling processes are thus found easier. We
are aware of the fact that services are of intangible nature and it is
intangibility that complicates the task of decision-makers.

Services have some salient features which necessitate a new

excellence to market effectively and profitably. The professionals
not well aware of the properties find it difficult to make creative
decisions. It is against this background that we go through the
salient features with the viewpoint of their instrumentality in
making the marketing decisions.

Feature # 2. Perishability:

Unutilised or underutilised services are found to be a waste. A building unocc

Feature # 3. Inseparability:

This is also a feature that complicates the task of professionals


while marketing the services. The inseparability focuses on the
fact that the services are not of separable nature. Generally, the
services are created and supplied simultaneously. Like the
dancers, musicians, dentists and other professionals create and
offer services at the same time. In other words, the services and
their providers are the same. Donald Cowell says, “Goods are
produced, sold and then consumed whereas the services are sold
and then produced and consumed.”
Feature # 4. Heterogeneity:

Another feature is heterogeneity which makes it difficult to


establish a standard. The quality of services can’t be standardised.
The prices charged may be too high or too low. In the case of
entertainment and sports, we find the same thing. The same type
of services can’t be sold to all the customers even if they pay the
same price.

Feature # 5. Ownership:

It is also ownership that makes it significant to market the


services in a bit different way. The goods sold are transferred from
one place to another, the ownership is also transferred and this
provides to the buyers an opportunity to resell. In the case of
services, we don’t find the same thing. The users have just an
access to the service. As for example, a consumer can use personal
care services or Medicare services or can use a hotel room or
swimming pool, however the ownership rests with the providers.

Feature # 6. Simultaneity:

Services can’t be delivered to customers or users. Services don’t


move through the channel of distribution. For availing the
services, it is essential that the users are brought to the providers
or the providers go to the users. It is right to say that the services
have limited geographical areas.
IMPACT OF COVID 19

Growing consumer demand for convenient food ordering has


been instrumental in driving the growth of the market. However,
growing threat from direct delivery services offered by
restaurants might hamper market growth.

WHY I CHOOSE THE SERVICE

Gone are the days when businesses look to establishing an in-house IT su


needs. Instead, organisations are finding the prospect of having an invisibl

there. Today, the best IT support services, particularly for SMEs,


are those that you can outsource.

The following is a series of useful tips that we believe will help organisatio
support company to leverage technology to achieve their
business goals.

Realising your needs

We know that different companies have different technology


needs. It may be the case that a 5-person startup will need
simple support and consultancy services to keep things ticking
over and to review technology strategy on a yearly basis. On
the other hand, a company that employs one hundred
networked computers will likely need more complex services.
Those might include typical IT rescue, network monitoring, IT
project management and technical consultancy, and
enterprise cloud solutions.

It is important, therefore, to understand the scale of your


support as this will provide solid foundations for your
relationship with a service provider.

Understanding scale

It is all very well opting for the most basic services on offer, but
if you don’t recognise what your company really needs then IT
support will become just another expense that provides little by
way of growth. Instead, an IT service provider should become
an extension of your company’s long term business strategy.
There is much more to technology support than setting up
firewalls and manning IT help desks.

A great managed service provider will provide sophisticated


services aimed specifically towards driving down IT costs while
increasing internal efficiencies. They will also help you decide
how to adapt your business according to ever changing
technology standards and, in this way, plan for the future.

Building a food delivery app is a promising startup idea. But how can you gain a

competitive advantage among other similar services? In this guide, we provide

valuable insights on mobile application marketing for food delivery services. It

doesn’t matter which platform you choose to build your food delivery app for.

These tips can be used for marketing both Android and iOS apps.

1. Define your target audience


To build a successful mobile app marketing strategy, first of all you should know

precisely who your target audience is. That means you need to understand who

your product is meant for. This may sound obvious, but it’s crucial.

To find the best way to promote your app, you may need information about your

potential customers including demographics, location, their interests, and

lifestyles. This information will help you create a buyer persona, which is a picture

of the target customer you want to reach.

A deep understanding of buyer personas will help you with:

 Creating your message

 Choosing communication channels

 Creating a content marketing strategy

As you can see, it’s vital to create and research buyer personas carefully before

deciding which of app marketing strategies to choose for your food delivery

service. But today, it’s also important to find a niche for your product to compete

with big food delivery players. Gesoo, for instance, delivers only from Asian

restaurants and targets the Asian population in the US.

Lots of food delivery startups target customers who are too busy to cook. But to

narrow things down, you can target a specific segment, for instance people who

prefer healthy food or food from high-end restaurants.

Embracing new niches isn’t the only trend sculpturing the food delivery

industry. Find out what to expect from food delivery in the near future.
2. Create a unique selling proposition
Once you know your target audience well, you’re ready to create a unique selling

proposition (USP). A strong USP can distinguish your food delivery app from

competitors.

Around 60 percent of consumers cite speed of delivery as a key factor when

ordering food online. But there are already many food delivery apps that promise

to deliver fast. That’s why you might need to offer other advantages in order to

stand apart.

Creating a USP is an important part of all app marketing strategies. When you

create a USP, think of your target audience’s needs and pain points. With the help

of a USP, you’ll be able to tell your potential customers what problems your food

delivery app can solve.

Let’s take a look at two of the top food delivery services, Uber Eats and Caviar,

and compare their USPs and target audiences. Uber Eats, which is now the

fastest-growing food delivery service in the US, aims at busy 24- to 35-year-olds

for whom speed of delivery is the top priority. To satisfy their needs, Uber Eats

delivers local food as well as fast food from big chains. The company emphasizes

fast delivery with the slogan “Your favorite restaurants, delivered fast.”

Meanwhile, Caviar targets customers who have higher average incomes and want

quality food from restaurants rather than fast food. That’s why Caviar’s USP is

delivery from high-end restaurants.

Tell your potential customers what’s unique about your product and how they can

benefit from it. Your USP should let people know how your food delivery app
differs from others. When creating app marketing strategies, you should always

keep in mind your USP.

3. Use content marketing


It’s hard to overestimate the role of content for mobile application marketing.

Many of today’s businesses take advantage of content marketing, and there are

several reasons for that. Content marketing can prove effective when it comes to

building trust with customers and building brand awareness. It’s a relatively cost-

effective way of reaching and attracting your target audience.

Social media
Social media is an effective tool for mobile app marketing. Seventy-one percent of

customers who have a good social media experience with a brand are likely to

recommend it to others.

Here are some tips on how to use social media to promote your food delivery app:
 Choose the right platforms. To decide on social platforms and what

content to post on them, you should know what your target customers like

and what influencers they follow. Instagram and Snapchat can help

you reach younger online users while to reach an older audience, you might

want to opt for promoting your app on Facebook.

 Leverage the power of influencers. Consider teaming up with influencers

who can help you reach your target audience. Eighty-seven percent of

buyers give more credence to content that’s shared by an industry

influencer.

 Keep a balance. Posting promotional content is a good idea, but don’t

forget about something entertaining and engaging. While your posts should

be related to your app, keep up with cultural trends and the latest news.

This will help you build a community.

 Align your communication with your audience. Social media is about

communication, so remember that you should speak the same language as

your target audience. Most food delivery companies use a friendly tone of

voice and simple language.

 Use social media to spread the word about your business. Social

media platforms are a great place to run a contest or host a giveaway.

When you ask your audience to share your post, you reach more people as

participants’ friends and followers will see it as well.


 Use social media for advertising your mobile app. With the help of

advertising, you can get your content shown to specific users who fall within

your target audience.

For instance, Uber Eats had Instagram sweepstakes where people had to

comment on a promotional post by the company and tag one friend to participate.

Want to replicate the success of Uber Eats? In this article, you’ll find the core

functionality, cost, and pitfalls you may await when creating an app like Uber

Eats.

To enter the DoorDash sweepstakes, people needed to post a photo taken in front

of one of the company’s murals, tag DoorDash, and use a hashtag. The prize

included a $2,000 donation to Feeding America. This type of campaign can have a

potential to go viral because the company doesn’t ask participants to post ads but

rather their own photos. Moreover, this type of contest has social value, helping

the company build trust with customers and improve its image.

Blog
Blog is one more effective tool for a mobile app promotion. Businesses that have

blogs get 55 percent more website visitors than those that don’t. Creating useful

and informative blog content not only helps you get noticed on search engines but

also builds trust with your customers and gives people a reason to come back to

your website.

Good blog content helps businesses:

 Boost brand awareness and reputation


 Increase incoming traffic

 Strengthen audience engagement

Consider writing guest posts for other websites, as their readers may fall within

your target audience. Guest blogging can also help build your authority as an

industry expert.

To promote your food delivery app, you can post informative and useful articles.

Uber Eats, for example, posts useful and entertaining food-related content

including articles about places to eat and food photography tips.

Think of posting something funny if you want to entertain your readers. GrubHub

has a blog where, in addition to articles, they entertain readers with quizzes like

“Are You a Hot Dog or a Hamburger?” Don’t forget to let your readers share their

results with friends.

We’ve already mentioned posting contest information on social media, but you can

post it on your blog as well. Caviar uses their blog to inform customers about

contests such as for tickets to food events.

Video content
Compared to other types of content, video content may be costly to create. But it

has a number of advantages when building app marketing strategies, especially

taking into account today’s technologies. In a nutshell, video marketing helps to

promote products, entertain, and engage your audience.


Video content you might want to consider when marketing your food delivery app

includes social videos, interviews, stories, tutorials, product videos, testimonials,

and explainer videos. Ninety-eight percent of people have watched an explainer


video to learn more about a product or service. This type of video is used to show

potential customers why they should use your product or service and what

problems they can solve by using it.

While social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook let users post videos,

the key video platform is YouTube. According to Google, the top three reasons

why people turn to Youtube are:

 To find solutions, such as for fixing something in their home

 To be entertained

 To learn something new

When planning a video marketing strategy for a food delivery app, take into

account the preferences of your target audience. For example, 81 percent of

Millenials want to see how their food is produced, while 80 percent want to see the

story behind the scenes.

DoorDash made a behind-the-scenes video telling about Project DASH, which

addresses problems of hunger and food waste. It shows the company’s mission

while building awareness about DoorDash. Such videos help to connect with

audiences and build trust.

4. Remember email marketing


Many businesses focus on social media, but email marketing still works. Being

cost-effective, it helps you to reach a large audience, which may be crucial for

food delivery startups. That’s why emails are also used as a tool for mobile

application marketing.
Email marketing helps to inform customers about loyalty programs, discounts, and

contests, which helps to build brand loyalty. Moreover, emails can be entertaining

as well. People usually don’t reply to promotional emails, but Eat24 found a way

to encourage their customers to answer. The company once sent out an email to

customers signed up for their loyalty program containing a promo code for a

discount as well as a scarf-wearing blue blob asking if anyone was even out there.

By sending this email, Eat24 let customers know that their email address was

monitored by real people. As a result, they got a number of replies from

customers.

We don’t just send a coupon. We always send


something funny or entertaining.

STRATEGIC MARKETING :ANALYSIS OF FOOD


DELIVERY SERVICE

A strategic analysis is an important step before we


embark on a marketing plan. It is important to learn
how to analyze your audience and market.
This is an example of analysis we did for a food
delivery business

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

Environment
The situation analysis is required prior to setting up a
marketing strategic plan. The culture of food delivery
and ordering online is growing at an unimaginable
rate. Food delivery is more common for restaurants
that serve Pizza such as Domino’s Pizza and Pizza
Hut.

Current Trend in the Food Delivery Industry

1. More consumers will order food online and at a


higher frequency
In this century, due to busy schedule and heavy
traffic, ordering online has become so normal and
easy for consumers that we only expect the growth
and frequency of that trend to increase.

2. Technology will continue to propel the industry


forward
Technology is the lifeblood of every industry, and with
modern users’ digital expectations, alongside fierce
competition in the food delivery industry, new and
creative use of technology is the only way to succeed.
With the high usages of smartphone, consumers
prefer to order their food vide the online services by
downloading apps and choosing the favourite food.

3. Variations in the Common Delivery Model


As soon as a new trend is adopted by certain key
players in the industry, others will follow suit.
4. In-house and third party delivery services will
compete fiercely
The rise of third party delivery services like
foodpanda, UberEATS and DeliverEAT have
undoubtedly disrupted the food delivery space, in the
same way Uber and Airbnb have shaken up the
traditional business models of taxi firms and hotel.

TARGET MARKET
The target market of food delivery service company
can be categorized in terms of demographic,
behavioural and psychographic.

Demographic
Most of the online food delivery demands come from
the age group of 18-40 years whereby 65 % of the
target market are below 35 years of age. The male
seems to outnumber the number of females in this
composition. The target generation are the millenials
who are more internet savvy, selective , confident and
impatient. A characteristic many millenials share is
leading a busy on-the-go lifestyles. The most recent
key to convenience is delivery. They use social and
mobile media to get recommendations and make
decisions about where they are going to dine. They
expect good quality food at reasonable prices, a
departure from the super-sized, all-you-can-eat tactics
that worked on previous generations. Millennials
greatly value their friends’ opinions when making
decisions, hence it is advisable to spend less on new
marketing and capitalizing more on your existing
customer base.
With an increasing number of people being
productively employed in lucrative industries, they
have increased their living standards and made their
wallets fatter too. The target group are mainly the
middle income segment who have a higher
disposable income.
Food Delivery Service Company targets the
population in urban and semi urban locations because
the city dwellers have a very busy life. The customers
need to keep up with the hectic schedule and they
need immediate, reliable and assistance for their day-
to-day tasks. Urban and semi urban locations are
ideal and potential market segment due to increasing
internet penetration & rapid smartphone adoption,

Marketing Solution
The best marketing solution will be to create a social
media campaign targeting urban audience and
working adults or parents who want to order a quick
meal.
The analysis below provides you insights on how to
select your audience based on their behavioural on
social media and Google Ads campaign.

Behavioural
The target market can be divided into two segments
which are advocates and pragmatic.

of dining out . This most often is the case for the
customers in India who brings home cooked food from

Owns a mobile
Whether consumers want to find/order a meal to eat
in, takeaway or have delivered, increasingly the tool of
choice is the mobile phone. Mobile apps and web
based system play an important role in food ordering
at this point of time . With more people using smart
phones, increasing literacy and access to the Internet,
it is highly recommended for food delivery business to
leverage on this new opportunity.

process of making online orders.

delivery companies and might switch from other food
delivery company due to poor service. They are the
type of customers who wish to order food to save cost
and time

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats, and so a SWOT Analysis is a technique for assessing
these four aspects of your business.

You can use SWOT Analysis to make the most of what you've
got, to your organization's best advantage. And you can reduce
the chances of failure, by understanding what you're lacking, and
eliminating hazards that would otherwise catch you unawares.
Better still, you can start to craft a strategy that distinguishes you
from your competitors, and so compete successfully in your market.

STRENGTH

Strengths are things that your organization does particularly well, or


in a way that distinguishes you from your competitors. Think about
the advantages your organization has over other organizations.
These might be the motivation of your staff, access to certain
materials, or a strong set of manufacturing processes.

Your strengths are an integral part of your organization, so think


about what makes it "tick." What do you do better than anyone
else? What values drive your business? What unique or lowest-cost
resources can you draw upon that others can't? Identify and
analyze your organization's Unique Selling Proposition (USP),
and add this to the Strengths section.

WEAKNESS

Now it's time to consider your organization's weaknesses. Be


honest! A SWOT Analysis will only be valuable if you gather all the
information you need. So, it's best to be realistic now, and face
any unpleasant truths as soon as possible.

Weaknesses, like strengths, are inherent features of your


organization, so focus on your people, resources, systems, and
procedures. Think about what you could improve, and the sorts of
practices you should avoid.

OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities are openings or chances for something positive to


happen, but you'll need to claim them for yourself!

They usually arise from situations outside your organization, and


require an eye to what might happen in the future. They might arise
as developments in the market you serve, or in the technology you
use. Being able to spot and exploit opportunities can make a huge
difference to your organization's ability to compete and take the lead
in your market.

THREATS

Threats include anything that can negatively affect your business


from the outside, such as supply chain problems, shifts in market
requirements, or a shortage of recruits. It's vital to anticipate threats
and to take action against them before you become a victim of them
and your growth stalls.
CONCLUSION

After studying the customers’ perception of electronic food ordering


it is concluded that every system has its strengths and weaknesses.
The purpose of this online food ordering system is basically to save
the time of the customers especially when he/she has to invite
people for any occasion. The chief reason for electronic ordering is
convenience. The single most important attribute of electronic
ordering is accuracy. This study found that online food ordering is
reasonably popular among the residents of Bangalore city. Nearly
90 percent of the respondents were aware of electronic food
ordering. Customers between 31-35 years of age ordered more
electronic food and it was often ordered as they didn’t want to cook
especially during the weekends. Customers who evaluate service
quality based on interactions with employees won’t want to use
self-service ordering. Similarly, customers who were uncomfortable
with technology may be reluctant to try an electronic self-service site
because they may be afraid of getting tangled up in the technology.
This study has shown that perceived control and convenience are
keys to customer use of online ordering which leads to higher
satisfaction.
