McDonald’s Product market Expansion Grid ( Ansoff Matrix)


Market Penetration:
In the fast food market, McDonald's could increase frequency of purchase through an
advertising campaign that gave consumers a reason to go there more often; they could increase
amount per purchase occasion through "value meals;" they could use both of these marketing
actions to gain customers from other fast food restaurants; finally, they could use these and
other marketing actions to get consumers in the market who don't eat at fast food places to do
so.

Product Development:
McDonald’s Corporation has always provided new and new innovations to its customers.
McDonald’s always seeks innovation from one market and provided these innovations and new
products to the rest of the world. This strategy does have a minimal level of risk which almost
always have provided good results to the organization for keeping the strength in its 47 million
customers averaged daily existing customers.

Market Development:
As we all know that McDonald's is a Global organization and it has the franchisee FDI system to
reach the new global markets of work in its international business. It has more than 31,000
business outlets (franchisees) in 119 countries round the world and it always pursuit the
additional market segments on geographical basis.

Diversification:
Diversification is not the best of the idea for the company because it can’t afford to make new
products in the new markets. It’s actually not possible with the franchisee system that
McDonald’s adopts. McDonald’s adopted both product and market development strategies
which was outside the core competencies of the firm.
