6.3 Marketing Channels & Budget
The Year 1 marketing budget is set at R900,000, representing approximately 7.2% of projected revenue. This investment will be allocated across digital marketing (social media advertising, Google Ads, influencer partnerships) at 40%, local community engagement (sponsorships, school programmes, church events) at 20%, traditional media (local radio, billboards, print) at 20%, and launch promotion and grand opening events at 20%.
The marketing strategy will shift progressively toward digital channels from Year 2, with an emphasis on loyalty programme engagement, user-generated content, and delivery platform visibility optimisation. The marketing spend ratio is expected to normalise to 4–5% of revenue by Year 3 as brand awareness and organic customer acquisition increase.
6.4 Customer Loyalty Programme
The “Cluck Club” loyalty programme will be launched within three months of opening, offering a points-based rewards system accessible via a mobile application. Members will earn 1 point per R10 spent, with redemption thresholds at 50, 100, and 200 points. The programme will also offer birthday rewards, exclusive promotions, and early access to new menu items. The loyalty programme is projected to achieve a membership base of 5,000 active users within the first twelve months, driving repeat purchase frequency and average transaction value.
