Executive Overview

This international marketing plan details the launch of FEBO Service in France country. Our Concept, FEBO gives the following benefitsto the consumer: Propose fresh and healthy food at any time of the day only with coins any time of the day.

We selected France country as an appropriate market for our service because in France there is a submerged fight against junk food and this becomes a crucial issue on the repositioning of fast food.

The target market in France country will be females/males between the ages of 14 and 50years old, which concerns people who has an average income, and any type of education level and who lives primarily in main city areas as La Défense, République Square, St Michel Boulevard.

In our research we have determined that there is a strong need for bio and healthy products because it is not yet available at this price or quality, so you will use that point to catch our target market.There are many competitors as Fastfoods, but they can’t propose a quality of product and price like ours; Meaning that Competitors’ products are also higher priced and have lower quality, and do not propose a self service all the day.

While our company has some weaknesses, they are not substantial enough to block entry of our service in the market, and we have outlined a strategy below toovercome those weaknesses.
