Marketing techniques to determine the feasibility and possible demand of a new product.
ReplyDeleteIf the "limited time" offer sells enough, brings enough income into the corporate coffers AND, if the new limited-time morsel also leads to add-on ordering... "...and toss in a drink, some fries and, how about one of those, etc. whatever there is a decent chance, depending upon projected future costs of ingredients, for the new item to become permanent and a possible replacement for an item that is not selling as much as desired.
Basically, it all comes into the hands of the in-house corporate math pros who ascertain cost/profit matters... and that only makes sense BUT.... those calculator-using aces need to consider any "emotionality" by the human horde as to how the masses view any of the offerings.
Imagine how folks would feel if A&W Root Beer dropped the root beer, root beer floats, etc.
Even if profitability could be enhanced by scrapping those goodies it would likely harm the public's "view" of the firm and that move would be shunned.
