2.1.2 CustomerAnalysis
Accordingto Swipely.com(2014) the ‘popup shop’foodculture isbecomingincreasinglypopularin
the UK. Schefsky(2013) statesthat withthe morphingof offlineandthe virtual,Facebook,
Instagram,and Snapchat,whichmimicthispop-upbrandculture,itcreates emergingdemographics
withsignificantbuyingpower:urbancultural creatives,technoratis,andexperience seekerswho
favorshort-lived,dynamic,andlow-brandedengagement.Althoughthere are notmanystatistical
reportson ‘popup shops’asof yet,we can assume a similardemographicasthe ‘fastfoodoutlet’
culture;The majority(58%) of UK 16-24 year oldshave declared‘FastFoodOutlets’astheirmost
popularvisitedvenuesforlunch (Mintel,2014)
In total,the MOSAICUK groupsand types,demographicof TrinityKitchenconsistedof 38.57% of the
UK. The customer group identified to be focused on for this report will be the ‘Rental Hubs’ category;
061: CareerBuilders,062:Central Pulse,066: StudentScene (Experian.co.uk,2014). The justification
for thisselectionisdue tothe correlationbetween Schefsky(2013)’sdemographicsof the ‘popup

3.0 Digital Marketing Objectives
Using information gathered from the macro and micro environmental analysis and TOWS analysis,
digital marketing objectives for Trinity Kitchen have been created. These objectives must be SMART
(Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realist and Time), this SMART test will ensure that the objectives
are well-definedandtominimize misinterpretation (Richman,2006)
Objective 1:
To create and improve individual social media presence, separate to that of Trinity Shopping
Centre, and create the Trinity Kitchen App, ultimately increasing social visibility to 6,000+, within
the next6 months.
1. Create individual TwitterAccount
Trinity Kitchen does not currently hold their own Twitter account; their only presence on Twitter is
the Trinity Shopping Centre hashtags (#trinitykitchen). Although this is a common trend, the
implementation of their own individual site will increase the social media following lead to an
increase insocial visibility.
2. Pre-approvedupdatestoallowforconstantsocial presence
Trinity Kitchen needs to create pre-approve updates, as they lack social media content updates (see
Appendix 1, section 1.3.3.2). This is a more efficient way to increase social media presence, as it
saves individual research each time content is needed; this should be done weekly to ensure that
the contentisup to date. (IAG Blogs, 2014).
3. TrinityKitchen‘App’
With the increase of digital marketing, organisations need to ensure that they are using the right
platforms. Not all consumers will go straight for the web browser, but instead turn to an App for
information, guidance and promotions. As these Apps become integrated and allow users to sign up
using Facebook and Twitter, it gives the organisation the power to share on the users’ wall. (Evans,
2010) This will help to work towards the aim of increasing social visibility to 6,000+ in the next 6
months.
Objective 2:
To create an individual website for Trinity Kitchen, allowing for specific social share buttons, email
sign ups and create itsown online presence,withinthe next 6 months.
1. Website
The creation of their own website will not take away from their SEO visibility as they will still have
the links, and it doesn’t matter where the links originate (Schrenk, 2006) However the creation of
their own website will help to differentiate them from the other restaurants and bars in trinity, help
to focus on the food industry in relation to keywords, and allow for the implementation of social
share buttonsand email signups.
13. 9
2. Social share buttons
Although there is a social share button on the Trinity Kitchen website, as it is part of the Trinity
Shopping Centre website, they link to the Trinity Shopping Centre social media pages. Once the
individual website and Twitter page has been created, social share links to Facebook and Twitter can
be implemented;thiswill create easytravel throughoutdigital platforms.
3. Email signups
As with social share buttons, once an individual website is created for Trinity Kitchen, it will allow for
email sign ups solely for the purpose of Trinity Kitchen. This may increase the amount of email
signups as it is more specific, there is less risk for the consumer of spam. It also allows for more
detailedemail marketingandpromotions.
Objective 3:
To increase m-commerce through the use of online promotions, mobile purchasing (Google Wallet,
Pay Pal), withinthe next6 months
1. ContactlessPayment
With the introduction of Near Field Communications (NFC) it gives consumers access to their bank
accounts through software such as the Google Wallet. This allows for sales promotion and
contactless purchasing through the Google Wallet, allowing consumers to pay via digital format, in
store. Through the use of promotions via these NFC tools, it will allow Trinity Kitchen to send
promotions instantly via mobiles, and with 80% of the target market owning smart phones, this will
allowdirectcontactwiththem(see Appendix 1,section1.2.1).

Through the use increase use of social media and digital platforms, it will increase online value
proposition (see section 4.2). This help to increase brand values and aim to generate a more positive
consumer perception. It is essential the social media and digital platforms reflect Trinity Kitchen’s
attitudes and values in a way that differentiates them from their competitors, and the content will
helptocomplete the RACEframework(see section4.2)

email sign ups and social share buttons. This will help to focus the keyword rankings on the food
industry, and weighted so much on the other industries within Trinity Shopping Centre. However,
the links between Trinity Kitchen and Trinity Shopping Centre need to be kept to maintain keyword
rankings,backlinksandSEO visibility.
Process: By having social share buttons that are directly linked to Trinity Kitchen’s social media it
makes it easier for the consumer to move from one platform to another. This is important in terms
of ‘striking when the iron is hot’ as consumers will not search for the social media sites, they need to
be presentonthe website.
Promotion: The implementation of individual email sign-ups for Trinity Kitchen makes it easier to
create more personal email marketing for each customer; as they have signed up to Trinity Kitchen
21. 17

them,withpromise forahigherresponse rate.

Thispaperwill be comprisedof a SOSTACsituationanalysis,SOSTACstandsfor
Situation – where are we now?
Objectives– where dowe wantto be?
Strategy – howdo we getthere?
Tactics – how exactlydowe getthere?

The current situationof Trinitykitchenwill therefore be determinedusingamixture of macroand

1.1 Macro Environment
1.1.1 Political
In 2013 parliamentpassedthe licence forOfcomtoauctionof spectrumto allow the new roll-out

“Britainseeksopt-outof newEuropeansocial mediaprivacylaws”thiswill allow social media
usersto be in control of theirpersonal data;thisiscalledthe “rightto be forgotten”,inthe data
protectionregulation. (Bowcott,2013) Thiswill affectdigital marketingasthere willbe lessdata
available throughsocial media;howeveritcouldalsogive consumersconfidence toshare data,
knowingthattheyhave the powerto retract.
1.1.2 Economic
In the fourthquarterof 2008, householdspendingdropped2% whichwasthe firstfall in
householdspendingsince 1968; and it continuedtofall.Althoughthe economyhasbegunto

urgencyto the consumer.Thiswidensthe targetmarketasit reliesmore heavilyonfootfall,
and physical featurestoentice the customertoeachstall. (Swipely.com,2014)
The foreverchangingmix of streetfoodretailers opensup the targetmarket;different
culturesandtastesinterestedineachfoodretailer.
Accordingto MOSAICUK groups andtypes,demographic,itcanbe assumedthat trinity
kitchen’stargetmarketconsistsof 38.57% of the UK. (Experian.co.uk,2014)
Although‘popupshops’are not generallyassociatedwiththe stigma of ‘fastfood’theycan
be classedinthe same category. The majority(58%) of UK 16-24 year oldshave declared
‘FastFood Outlets’astheirmostpopularvisitedvenuesforlunch (Mintel,2014)
Since the majorityof trinitykitchen’stargetmarketare aged16-24, itis essentialto
understandwhatdigital platformstheyuse;
o 2011 saw the strongestgrowthinrecentyearsfor the purchase of mobiles, (Mintel,
2014), as well astabletsinthose aged18-34. (Mintel,2014)

1.3.3 Weaknesses
1.3.3.1 Website:
The website for Trinity Kitchen, as it is located in a shopping centre, is merely a
section on the ‘Trinity shopping centre’ website. This makes it look less important as
it is not a single entity, and comes under the Trinity umbrella, instead of an
individual brand.
They currently have no pay per click media; this would enhance their targeting, as it
is a cost-effective way to target consumers who are currently interested in a product
or service offered by Trinity Kitchen. (TechnicallyMarketing,2014)
Each individual restaurantpage isthe same,andhas no character;this makesitharderto
distinguishbetween the restaurants.(Trinityleeds.com,2014)
The linksonthe website tosocial mediaare notto‘TrinityKitchen’social mediasites,rather
to the TrinityShoppingCentre,sothere isnodirectlinkbetweenthe TrinityKitchensection
of the domainandthe social mediaplatforms. (Trinityleeds.com,2014)
1.3.3.2 Social:
Twitter:
o There isno separate twitterpage forTrinityKitchen,althoughitistrendedthrough
TrinityShoppingCentre,throughthe use of hashtags,#trinitykitchen,if theywere
to have theirown twitterpage itwouldcreate a higheronline presence and
interactionwithconsumers,leadingtoevenhighertrends
Facebook
o The last poston TrinityKitchen’sFacebookpage was20/03/14, theytendto only
poston Facebookwhenthere isanevent, andthis doesnotmaintaina constant
online presence,whichisneededtocreate a solidonline presence.
36. 32
1.3.3.3 Industry (Keyword) Spread
Although the industry sector that holds the majority of the keywords linking to Trinity
Kitchen is “food”, this is followed closely by other industries such as; media, home-garden,
apparel, and other. Although this could be due to the Trinity Kitchen website being part of
the Trinity Shopping centre website, it shows that the keywords aren’t targeting or
dominating the “food” industry. (Suite,2014)
