Research on Wendy


Wendy's - Where's the beef
The 70’s campaign used commercials with the tagline ‘Where’s the beef?’, which for anyone who grew-up in that time would know was Clara Peller’s famous tagline that really pushed Wendy’s near the top of the fast-food pyramid.  In those commercials, this frail-looking elderly lady opens her burger only to find a small grey patty and yells “Where’s the beef?”  Soon, without benefit of the Internet, that catchphrase was one of the first to become ‘viral’.


US – Canada
  • 1969–1978: Quality Is Our Recipe (this slogan is still shown on the Wendy's logo today.)
  • 1978–1979: Juicy hamburgers
  • 1979–1980: Hot-N-Juicy
  • 1980–1981: Wendy's Has the Taste You Crave
  • 1981–1982: Ain't No Reason to Go Anyplace Else

  • 1984–1986: Where's the beef?[5]
  • 1985–1988: Choose Fresh, choose Wendy's[19] (Originally used alongside "Where's the Beef?")
  • 1987–1993: Give a little nibble was to be a catchy phrase that would capture the attention of consumers and help make Wendy's major player on the fast-food scene once again. This television commercial was a flop and sent Wendy's hunting for a new advertising agency.[20] After a poorly received seven-week run, Wendy's pulled the television commercials[21] created by Dick Rich Inc.[22][23] The "nibble" spots were meant to emphasize Wendy's better-tasting hamburger. They showed customers ripping off chunks of meat from an absurdly large hamburger.
  • 1988–1992: The best burgers in the business.
  • 1989–1998: The best burgers and a whole lot more (also was printed inside the hamburger wrappers during the 1990s)
  • 1996 - 1998: The Best Burgers Yet!!
  • 1997 – Present: You can eat great, even late
  • 2001–2005: It's hamburger bliss.
  • 2002–2005: It's better here[24]
  • 2003–2007: It's Always Great, Even Late. (Canada)
  • 2005–2007: Do what tastes right. (primary slogan)
  • 2005 – Present: It's good to be square.
  • January 2007 – October 2007: That's right.
  • January 2007 – October 2007: Uh Huh.
  • 2007–2008: Hot Juicy Burgers
  • January 2008 – October 2009: It's waaay better than fast food... It's Wendy's. (US)
  • January 2008 – October 2009: It's waaaaaaaaaay delicious. It's Wendy's. (Canada)
  • January 2008 – October 2009: Carrément bon. C'est Wendy's. (EN: "Squarely good. It's Wendy's.") (Quebec, Canada)
  • October 2009 – Present: You know when it's real.

International

  • 1983–Present: It's the best time for...Wendy's (Philippines)
  • 2000 (approx) – Present: Quality is our recipe (New Zealand)
  • 2000 (approx) – Present: Wendy's cuadra contigo (Wendy's fits with you). The word cuadra (fit) is a reference to the Spanish word cuadrado that means square. (Venezuela)

Wendy’s is using “Now That’s Better” as a new advertising tagline, succeeding “You Know When It’s Real,” which has run since October 2009.

Research on KFC

KFC- Kentucky Fried Chicken
- a fast food restaurant chain - specializes in fried chicken 
- founded by Harland Sanders, 1930 in North Corbin, Kentucky (original), 1952 in Salt Lake City, Utah (franchise) 
- headquarter in Louisville, Kentucky, United States
- the second large restaurants chain overall after McDonald's - with over 18,000 outlets in 120 countries
- subsidiary of Yum! Brands, restaurant companies that own Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.


------------------------

KFC Slogan
The first slogan which used more than 50 years - Finger lickin Good
KFC’s catchphrase came about by accident in the 1950s when a US TV advert showed franchisee David Harman licking his fingers after eating some of Colonel Sanders’ famous chicken.
A viewer phoned to complain about the incident and spoke to manager Ken Harbough, who replied: ‘Well it’s finger lickin’ good.’
The phrase was then adopted by the brand and became famous around the world.

KFC abondon "finger lickin good" slogan to boast its image.
- to create a more healthier image
- effectively communicate the breadth of different things
- introducing healthier frying oils ( 7million investment) product cooked on a griddle



------------------------


The slogan from 2001,India - so good 
Martin Shuker, chief executive of KFC UK and Ireland, said: ‘”So Good” is still about the food but it also allows us to more effectively communicate the breadth of different things about the brand, such as our people and our community.’
The rebranding exercise coincides with a decision to introduce healthier frying oils and a £7million investment to kit out UK restaurants with ovens so KFC can launch its Brazer range, products cooked on a griddle instead of in a fryer.

The new slogan - I ate the bones - 2013 March 

In case Americans want to scarf down their fast-food even faster, KFC in the United States is stripping the bones out of its chicken.
“Younger people don’t tend to be fans of bones — they’ve grown up with nuggets,” said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard, referring to people in their 20s and 30s.


link: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/04/05/i-ate-the-bones-fast-food-gets-even-faster-for-america-as-kfc-introduces-boneless-chicken/


My opinion about the changing of KFC slogan:
I think that finger lickin good is better because it do bring out that KFC is tasty until the stage that we will have to lick our finger, so so tasty. But then the next slogan which is so good, i think that it is too normal and cant attract much of attraction.

The new slogan which is I ate the bones is totally not ok, since KFC will introducing the new boneless chicken. It should not be i ate the bone, i think it should have been like boneless in your mouth or something sound and think more like boneless.

KFC in India
The first Indian KFC opened in Bangalore in June 1995. Protests ensued from left wing, anti-globalisation and environmental campaigners, as well as local farmers, who objected to the chain bypassing local producers. Many Indians were concerned about the onslaught of consumerism, the loss of national self-sufficiency, and the disruption of indigenous traditions. The protests came to a head in August 1995, when the Bangalore outlet was repeatedly ransacked. KFC Bangalore demanded, and received, a police van permanently parked outside for a year. Rural activist M. D. Nanjundaswamy subsequently claimed KFC would adversely affect the health of the impoverished, by diverting grain from poor people to make the more profitable animal feed. Former environment minister Maneka Gandhi joined the anti-KFC movement. KFC was also accused of using illegally high amounts of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and frying its food inpork fat. A second store opened in Delhi, but was closed by the authorities throughout November, purportedly for health reasons, but more likely to avoid a repetition of the Bangalore incident. The two stores only managed to attract a limited, affluent clientele, and KFC decided to abandon the Indian market. KFC returned to India in 1999, with a new Bangalore outlet, which was the sole KFC in India until 2004, when the chain began to expand.
As of December 2012, there were 280 KFCs in the Indian market. As well as the standard KFC offerings, the chain sells a chickpea burger and hot wings with chilli lemon sprinkles.

I go though alot of basic research about KFC all around the world, and what have I found?
Different country, Kfc use different type of product to sell, I am surprise to know that, and in China the slogan also different from others country, which I think it is acceptable compare to I ate the bone. The ways they Advertising also is quite different based on their country. China advertising is so fancy and so many words - hard sell while India advertising is quite creative.
