Mission, Vision, Goal and Values Mission Statement of Dunkin’ Donuts: The original mission statement of Dunkin‟ Donuts came straight from the founder:

"Make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores.” Today, because 100% of the 10,000+ Dunkin' Donuts stores located around the world are franchisee-owned and operated, each individual Dunkin‟ Donuts store could have its own mission statement.

Marketing Strategy Dunkin‟s Donut is America‟s favorite food and all-day stop for coffee and baked goods. It is a

leading retailer of hot and iced regular coffee by the cup in America and it also the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world. The original Dunkin‟s Donuts was a single cup of coffee with a donut. Now Dunkin‟s Donut offers a wide range of coffee or coffee related beverages,

 baked goods and an expanding all day Oven Toasted men.

Market Segmentation; Many types of customers appear in any market, and most firms cannot satisfy everyone‟s needs.

For instance, among Internet users, some do research online, some shop, some look for entertainment, and many may do all three. Each of these groups might be a market segment consisting of consumers who respond similarly to a firm‟s marketing efforts. The process of

dividing the market into groups of customers with different needs, w ants, or characteristics-who therefore might appreciate products or services geared especially for them-is called market segmentation

17 | P a g e

Target Market: A firm‟s marketers find a need through careful and continuing study of the individual and

 business decision mak ers in the potential market. Dunkin Donut‟s target market is high and middle income bracket people. As they are serving product in an average price so it is feasible for middle income people to grab the desired product.

Implement Marketing Mix and Allocate Resources; When the firm has identified and evaluated different growth opportunities by performing an STP analysis, the real action begins. It has decided what to do, how to do it, and how many resources should be allocated to it. In the fourth step of the planning process, marketers implement the actual marketing mix-product, price, promotion, and place-for each product and service on the  basis of what they believe their target markets will value. At the same time, they make important decisions about how they will allocate their scarce resources to their various products and services.

18 | P a g e

Product: Products, which include services, constitute the first of the four Ps. B ecause the key to the success of any marketing program is the creation of value, firms attempt to develop products and services that customers perceive as valuable enough to buy. Amazon.com, for example, developed the first e-book reader, the Kindle, to enable customers to read anything they wanted to by downloading it onto this new mobile reading device.

Price: Recall that the second element of the marketing mix is price. As part of the exchange process, a firm provides a product or a service, or some combination thereof, and in return, it gets money. Value-based marketing requires that firms charge a price that customers perceive as giving them a good value for the product they receive. Clearly, it is important for a firm to have a clear focus in terms of what products to sell, where to bu y them, and what methods to use in selling them. But pricing is the only activity that actually brings in money by influencing revenues. If a price is set too high, it will not generate much volume. If a price is set too low, it may result in lowerthan-necessary margins and profits. Therefore, price should be based on the value that the customer perceives. Dunkin donuts use their pricing strategy quite effectively. The y aware of competitor‟s pricing and determine their price according to their strategy. Dunkin Donuts

sometimes use odd pricing to grab the customer‟s attention.

19 | P a g e

Place:

The third p of marketing mix is place or outlets. Place is a very essential part of the marketing mix. If the outlet is not available enough it will not work properly even though the other p‟s are

used in a proper manner. And Dunkin Donuts use their outlets very effectively, for instances the y set up their retail chain shop in busy areas such besides the shopping malls or in down towns.

Promotion: The fourth and last P of the marketing mix is promotion. Marketers communicate the value of their offering, or the value proposition, to their customers through a variety of media including television, radio, magazines, sales forces, and the Internet. Dunkin donuts use their promotional strategy very effectively to inform as well as to educate their customers in regular basis.

Competitive Advantage According to the strategic management specialist Michael Porter, there are three generic strategies that, if properly implemented, can create a strong competitive advantage for a company. Theses generic strategies include the differentiation strategy, the cost leadership strategy, and the focus strategy. While the cost and differentiation strategies are implemented industry wide, the focus strategy is only used for individual business segments. In this model, cost leadership and product differentiation are mutually exclusive. Therefore, each company can only choose one as their overall business strategy. Dunkin' Donuts has focused on becoming a cost leader in the U.S. coffee and snack shop industry which is defined as "offering the same or  better quality product or service at a price that is less than what any of the competition is able to do." There are three main ways that Dunkin' Donuts is able to charge lower prices for their  products compared to their competitors. The first is that they produce more which results in a higher asset turnover. Also by producing more, they are able to spread out their fixed costs over a larger number of units. In addition, Dunkin' Donuts offers a variety of standardized products which limits the amount of product and service customization they have to do. Finally, by buying in bulk, bidding competitively over contracts, and working with vendors to keep inventories low, Dunkin' Donuts is able to keep a tight control over their supply chain. Having strong relationships with suppliers is a vital way to keep costs low. Although Dunkin' Donuts has a strong presence in Northeastern U.S., they do not have a strong  presence in other areas of the country. The map below depicts the abundant amount of stores in the East compared to the rest of the country. By 2020, however, they plan to have a total of 15,000 stores in the United States which would almost double their current U.S. presence. In addition to the United States, Dunkin' Donuts has been serving customers internationally for over 40 years and currently operates over 3,100 stores in 32 countries. Their growth is successful due to their store consistency and strong franchises; out of their approximately 10,000 stores worldwide, about 7,000 of them are franchises. Therefore, consistency between these stores is of great importance.

Recommendation Dunkin Donut is one of largest chains coffee and baked goods in the world.Starbucks is the main competitor of Dunkin Donuts. Increasing consumers facilities and reaching newer countries and regions will make them able to compete with starbucks. They can increase their selling through effective online marketing. They can attract City Co nvenience‟s customers, who purchase coffee  based on specialty beverage options, by offering unique, specialty beverage options at Dunkin‟

Donuts. Our research also indicated a correlation between coupon promotions and the tendency for respondents to purchase coffee at Dunkin‟ Don uts. By continuing to provide coupon  promotions, Dunkin‟ Donuts can also retain its current customers.Dunkin' Brands, through

Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins generates revenue through franchise royalties and rent  payments, sales of, ice cream products to franchisees, and sales at company-owned stores. Dunkin donut is the second largest global beverage and snack chain.
