Blending Brazil, Marketing, Driving, Locations or Place And Food Ordering During The Pandemic? An Example Using The 9P's?

Looking at borrowing from global resources,

Product, Place or Distribution and Partners under the 9P's? Check.

We've got McDonald's. Check. 

Brazil? Check. 

Marketing? Check. 

Dining Drivers? Check. 

Pandemic Conditions? Check. 

I use the 9P’s to solve problems and find partnerships and opportunities.

Here’s an example: 

It was during the pandemic. McDonald’s attracting shoppers to their restaurants. 

As a McDonald’s marketing director said:

  • “With this new Waze feature we were able to help consumers to identify on the map which (McDonalds) restaurants were open and offering drive-thru, at a time when the search for this facility was highly increasing.”

McDonald’s was the first Brazilian brand to use the Waze’s Location Personalities and Order Ahead features.Partnership? Check. 

Drivers never left the app and were able to order with contactless payment. Waze and drive thru with the diners worked together in harmony.

Now It's With Fries? Comparative Promotion And Advertising?

"You want fries with that?" 

I like using the term comparative promotion, with comparative advertising? Why? Because a company or client is usually doing more promotion including PR, sales promtion as a compatitor more than just ads. 

Comparative promotion or advertising is a promotional strategy in which a company's product or service is presented as superior when compared to a competitor's. 

A comparative advertising campaign may involve showing, demonstating, picturing or illustrating a competitive comparison or advantage of the features of a company's products of its competitor.

Current example: Wendy's promotion of its new "hot and crispy fries."

What is "Place," under th nine P's of Marketing?  It's the company’s activities that make the product available, using distribution and trade channels, roles, coverage, assortments, locations, inventory and transportation characteristics and alternatives. 

Marketers look to the right Place in offering the right Product at the right Price, with the right Partners and Presentation, at the right time. 

Brand managers ned to consider, develop and review store and non-store, e-commerce and “brick and mortar” factors, considerations, objectives, strategies and tactics, including “Partners.”

Selling Burgers, Ecology, Kid Meals, Toys and Discovery’s Animal Planet?

Burger King v. McDonald’s but it was McDonald’s getting ahead of their competitior with their announcement of McDonald’s new eco-friendly Happy Meals toys. 

This is about a tie-ins. The Burger King Jr. meals include “eco-friendly” kids toys with animal themes, from or with Animal Planet. 

I'm creating a marketing example, with competitors, for my school presentations using the nine P’s of Marketing.

With Burger King and thier King Jr., I’d add or list “Promotion,” and “Partners,” under the 9P’s of Marketing to kid-meal “Product.” Add kids and you have targeting or “people,” generating more awareness to a different target.

The King Jr. Meals at BK include six books spotlighting different animal themes, such as pets, oceans, safaris, endangered animals and more.

Animal Planet is also working with Target.


In Marketing, the "customer," or potential consumers should be the center of the universe or "king," but they are missing in the 4P's.

For Burger King they are working with Animal Planet to reach parents and for them to take the kids to BK for eco-friendly toys which may appeal to parents more than kids.

Deception? Brand And “Presentation,” Under The 9 P’s Of Marketing.

When endorser is an actual user?

It's about advancing the brand but not in a lawful way. Making up letters, reviews, testimonials. 

Deception. Unfair. Unreal. Unlawful. Misrepresentation.

The FTC is warning advertisers of creating fake reviews and endorsements.

We can see more truthful reviews. That’s what the FTC wants.  It’s about online, phony, fakery.

It’s about deceiving consumers or “People” in my nine P’s.  700 companies have been alerted.

From FTC’s Serena Viswanathan, she said:

  • “Companies use endorsements and testimonials in many forms to advertise and market their products and services, both in traditional and social media, as well as in the form of online reviews. ”  But are they real? FTC   is looking at “notice of penalty offenses” letters.  widely, and isn't suggesting that the recipients engaged in deceptive or unfair conduct.

Civil penalties can add up, to $43,792 per violation.

What's A Tom Brady Football Worth? 2021 versus 2022?

Hey, fans, Brady's coming back. 

Update on March 14th, that football isn't worth as much especially since it's not his last big time touchdown when he plays in the fall of '22. 

One used on Sunday it is estimated to be worth $500000.

So it's not priceless, but the 600th TD pass yesterday by Brady to Evans was given to a fan and the Buccaneers helped negotiate getting it back.

Estimated to be worth $500K. 

To the fan, the Buccaneers traded a $1K gift card for team stuff, another football, a signed Tom Brady jersey and Tom says he will throw in a helmet, a couple of jerseys or some other stuff. 

How about adding lifetime upgraded season tickets?

I can buy a NFL Wilson football for under 20 bucks. 

Put this under "Product," In the 9P's of Marketing. I'd add "Place," and "Presentation," too.

In Marketing, the "customer," or potential consumers should be the center of the universe or "king," but they are missing in the 4P's. I feel from my study and research that there needs to be more focus on the "Customer," or "People." "People" or market segments, which utilize demographics, geographics, psychographics, behavioral characteristics and technographics, are vital, learning components of the 9P's.

I consult and teach using these Marketing concepts and practices of the Nine P's/9P's of Marketing.

Connecting SNAP Stock Drop, “Place,” “People,” “Promotion” And Ad Revenue Drop, With 9P’s Of Marketing?

"Place" is distribution and supply chain issues.

Promotion is promotional ad, ad dollars for the ads on Snap, Facebook, Goggle.

People is potential customers and targeting.

They all came together last week in the Snap stock crash (down about 18 dollars). The crash or stock drop  was blamed on “supply chain issues,” holiday gift delivery delays and Apple’s data privacy policies affecting Facebook, Google and more.

These Aplle privacy issues are affecting ad revenue which is “promotion.”

 A lot of billiard ball shots and colliding going on, going into the holiday season.

The Role of an Expert Witness?

What is the role of an expert witness? 

In the American judicial system, the role of an expert witness is “to assist the trier of fact (judge or jury) to understand the evidence, or determine a fact at issue.” (Federal Rules of Evidence, Rule 702). An expert can be qualified “through knowledge, skill, experience, training or education.” (Federal Rules of Evidence, Rule 702).

The role as an expert is to tell the truth, transmit “specialized knowledge” and render an opinion or opinions.

You are communicating ideas, practices and concepts in a clear way to the judge and jury. Helping people understand. 

That is one of the reason I teach, consult with my clients and have the job of an expert witness.  For 19 years, I have been a senior Forensic Marketing Expert, Advertising expert, Advertising/Marketing consultant with Londre Marketing Consultants, LLC.

Is a Super Bowl Spot Worth $216,667 A Second? It Costs $6.5 Million For A :30? Another Sunday Leading to Super Bowl Sunday February 13th.

Every year I analyze the TV spots used in the Super Bowl. 

Their approximate cost is $6.5 Million, each, or $216667 a second and that's for just for the time. No creative or production.

I look for an analysis of branding, media and creative planning plus looking at the eight components of promotion in the 9P’s of Marketing.

There are many alternatives, looking at the parts of “Promotion” and the 9P’s, in spending $6.5 Million in other areas to promote. 

Clients could use the money for:

  • More Planning. More or better or more continuous Marketing research
  • Change or lower prices
  • Discounts. Coupons.
  • Sales Promotion, look at instore. 
  • Increased distribution
  • More PR
  • Free gift with purchase
  • Add more or better customer service
  • New product development
  • Better website
  • More digital or social media
  • More people on phone at call center. 
  • More sales people
  • Faster delivery and distribution

 Marketers, agencies and media companies make costly, high-risk decisions. These are expensive costs and financial, spending decisions.

Ultimately, it is about generating SALES.
