KFC

Always a pleasure. There was a flyer stating that KFC will guve out a hot and crunchy chicken if the order was not completed in 7 minutes. I was standing patiently looking at my watch and because of a confusion with my order, it took them 8 minutes. They themselves handed out the piece of chicken they advertised on the flyer without me asking for it. A big thumbs up for professionalism.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a fast food restaurant originated in 1952, is the world’s second largest restaurant chain. There are more than 17,000 KFC outlets in more than 115 countries and territories around the world (KCF, 2013). Colonel Sanders was the spokesman for KFC until his death in 1980 after his death; they had an actor portray the Colonel for the KCF commercials. In 1998 KFC created an animated version of the Colonel and it continued until 2001 in the United States. KCF has created different ad campaigns introducing new tasty products.

The puppy sad eyes look at the boy and the boy says, “Sorry Rex, is KFC boneless chicken!” The commercial would end with the family enjoying boneless chicken and the dog lying next to the dinner table. The commercial can really show how a family would enjoy a new menu item, the chicken it remains original recipe, but with no bones. The previous commercials can change the dialog, instead of saying, “I ate the bones,” it can admire the new menu item and say, “Mmmm, KFC boneless chicken.” Mass media advertising can be very effective because it can target a large-scale audience. The purpose of advertising is to promote the new menu item and to cultivate a long-term demand (Thomas Clayton O’Guinn, Allen, Semenik, & Scheinbaum, 2015).
