2. Qualitative Research
Qualitative refers to the non- numerical elements in the research. When the
information or data cannot be grasped in terms of numbers, qualitative research
comes for the rescue. Though not reliable as much as quantitative, qualitative
research helps to form a better summary in terms of theories in the data.
3. Theoretical Research
4. Applied Research
Here, the goal is to find strategies that can be used to address a specific research
problem. Applied research draws on theory to generate practical scientific
knowledge, and its use is very common in STEM fields such as engineering,
computer science and medicine.

CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSION
Running a global brand is not easy. Different regions have different customers,
and pitching those customers requires a robust marketing strategy. Domino’s has
mastered the art of selling by leaving nothing and trying out all the strategies to
reach their customers and get them inside their pizza stores.
The reason Dominos has a wide range of marketing tactics is that its audience is
also wide. One strategy work for some audience, and one works for another.
Meme marketing would work better on Gen Z generation customers than
television commercials because this generation spends more time on social
media.
Attract customers with the right kind of strategy which you think will work best.
Domino’s India has been going strong with their Digital Marketing strategy. But
Domino’s marketing strategies keep evolving with time so it is important that
even Domino’s India keeps making those changes in their own e-marketing
strategy as well. With it being one of the largest brands that sell pizza in the
leading pizza restaurant chain and online it is very important for them to maintain
their reputation and keep doing the great work they are already doing.
Domino’s Pizza is consistent when it comes to digital marketing. It leverages
technology to enhance its marketing mix and continues to be a global market
leader in the pizza delivery segment.
