EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Carter Restaurants Group is a new chain of restaurants, which opens its
first six branches in 2012. The restaurants will be built in accessible locations
such as city centres and immediate suburbs of major cities across the United
Kingdom. Because there are around 100,000 restaurants with combined sales
revenue of more than 20 billion already in operation in the country, the chain
faces tough competition. Therefore, to appeal to a greater audience, the
restaurants will offer menus which will feature a combination of vegetarian
and vegan dishes.
Carter restaurants will set itself apart from its competitors by the fact that
each item on their menu will indicate its carbon footprint. The brand will be
based on causal ethical eating, and will use an environmentally aware range
of products, such as local ingredients and traditional dishes. Because of this
unique concept, the chain will be able to display their environmentally aware
credentials, thus convincing its publics of Carter restaurants corporate social
responsibilities, their ethical considerations, and their support of the nations
economy. Subsequently, the campaign theme: Dining in Harmony with
Nature, will draw heavily on showcasing environmental awareness and
honouring the countrys traditions.
Throughout Carters restaurants marketing strategy, not only will their
product, price, promotion and place considerations be of the upmost
importance, transparency will also be essential. The marcomms plan will
provide context in which to view these plans. It will analyse the political,
economical, social, technological, legal and environmental issues that could
have an influence on the project, as well as the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats that the organisation is or could be faced with.

The business objectives will be aligned with the marketing communications
objectives and will take Carter restaurants values, mission and vision
statements into consideration. This will result in timely, specific, measurable,
and achievable campaign objectives and targeted messages, with activities
focused on key audiences and stakeholders.
The marcomms plan will be based on a 6-month plan and will consist of three
strands of interactive plans, to involve the public and media: pre-launch
awareness-building; integrated intermedia communications surrounding a
launch event and follow-up initiatives to keep publics engaged and
interested.
The tactics which will be employed will consist of five tools: advertising,
direct marketing, sales promotion, personal selling and public relations. Each
of these tool will be used to differentiate the Carter restaurants products and
services from their competitors; will remind publics of a their unfulfilled need
for the products and services offered by Carters restaurants; will inform
potential customers of what the organisation has to offer them; and will
persuade people to dine at Carter restaurants. These tools will also raise
attention, interest, desire, and action.
The report will conclude with a detailed outlining of potential budgets, a
GANTT chart and evaluation criteria.

TARGETED AUDIENCE
Carter restaurants targeted audience consist predominantly of: ABC1s, upper
middle class business men and women, middle class executives and
managers, and lower middle class white collar office workers. They are likely
to be single or couple, between 25 and 55 years old, likely to have received
tertiary education and living within a two-hour travel time of the restaurants
(not included international visitors). This audience wants to portray itself as
refined, sophisticated, and successful. They have the income to eat out
regularly at first class diners, and do so in a social as well as business-like
context. They care about their health, but do not have the time (or knowledge)
to cook for themselves. This audience is also into yoga and believes in the
concept of a healthy spirit in a healthy body. Furthermore, they like the idea
of supporting the nations economy, and they are delighted to be able to dine
in a causal, ethical way, as this allows them to support the environment in an
effortless fashion. This audience wants to showcase their involvement with
the nation and the environment not only during working hours, but also in
their personal life.
This general public is segmented into key publics and influencers which have
been identified as critical to the success of the campaign, based on their level
of interest and involvement.

In trade press, business and leisure/lifestyle magazines, adverts will be
placed, which will feature the logo of Carter Restaurants, as well as the
slogan, together with a coupon. By scanning the QR code on the coupon,
audiences will be directed to the official Carter restaurants website near their
location, where they will receive information concerning the future opening
of the restaurants. They will also be asked for customer information.
Afterwards, they will be placed on a mailing list. In return, they will be able to
use the personalised coupon to get a 20% discount in one of the Carter
Restaurant branches near their location, within a limited time frame after the
opening of the first six restaurants.

Days 2/3: At the official opening of the restaurants, the winners of the
previously mentioned competitions will be invited, and their own dishes will
be prepared for the audience by professional chefs. Pictures will be taken, and

(inventors of the dishes) will receive an all expenses paid trip to Costa Rica,
one of the healthiest countries to live in. Guests will also receive an
information or media pack. They will also have the opportunity to take a shirt
home, on which the collar will feature the slogan of Carter Restaurants: Dine

Follow up activity (PR, direct mail, advertising):-Website development and management:

events which have occurred in the kitchen. The chefs will also give advice on
how to prepare healthy and environmentally aware meals yourself. This will
remind and/ or reassure the audience of their need for the product and/ or
service.

environmentalist or food critic who visits one of the restaurants, will also be
given the opportunity to write a piece on the blog. This will inform the target
audience of the product/ service features and its benefits and it will persuade
them to come and dine at Carter Restaurants.
-Newsletter development and upkeep
Customers and employees will be kept up to date with a monthly newsletter,
which will include news, incentive schemes with cooperating organisations,
sections written by opinion leaders/influencers who have visited the
restaurants and hints and tips how to create healthy, environmentally aware,
traditional, vegan and vegetarian dishes. Customer information will be
available thanks to previous social media schemes and competitions, which
will have allowed the creation of a mailing list and contact database.
The first few editions following the event will give an overview of all the
activities, events, competitions and results of the campaign, making
transparency a key issue. It will contain a cover story, around 6 features and
an in perspective column.
-Social networking
On Pin Interest and Instagram a Pin board will be created with pictures from
Carter Restaurants. There will even be a special location available for photo
shoots. These shoots will be free, but the pictures will only be available on

CONCLUSION
In this marcomms plan, integrated tools have been used such as Public
Relations, Direct mail, Personal Selling, Advertising, and Sales Promotions to
create a 6-months campaign that aims to create buzz, awareness and brand
loyalty amongst its targeted audiences. It uses key concepts and analysis such
PEST and SWOT reviews, the principles of DRIP and SMART, a GANTT
chart, and the business and marketing communications objectives are
combined, which resulted in a simple but efficient strategy. The tactics which
were used, were chosen to make the Carter restaurants chain get a
competitive advantage, as well as to receive goodwill, which is essential to
create relationships with customers. Transparency was a key issues
throughout the campaign, as this concept (as well as trust) are essential
requirements which, in time, can lead to brand loyalty.
