Segmenting and Targeting Markets-One-to-one marketing (week 14)


Chipotle Mexican Grill always look for different ways where they can benefit their customers. An example is a gift card, you might think that it isn't worthy but in this holidays Chipotle is a promotion where customers can buy a gift card of $25 and they can get a any free meal at the same day or in their next visit to the restaurant. All that the customer need to do is keep the receipt where he/she can show the purchase of the gift card. I found interesting and convenience because we don't really need to give a gift card  to somebody, we can keep it for ourselves and use it as a debit card, at the same time we are getting a free meal. People might think differently, but i see it as a way where we as customer can save a couple of dollars and we are not spending nothing just keep the money that we eventually would spend. Customer also can visit the Chipotle website and find their gift card valance.

Consumer Decision Making- Perception (week 6)


Messages posted in the cups are help full for customers because they learn something new about company. Also, Chipotle is using napkins to put information for the customers. For example, in each napkin you would find information about to opened a burrito or sometimes there is information about sour cream. It explain how Chipotle's sour cream doesn't  have the hormone " rBGH ." This hormone is injected to the caws to produce more milk as they use to produce. However, Chipotle's farmers does not use it because they want to protect Chipotle's cattle and customers.

Consumer Decision Making- Perception (week 6)

When customers go to Chipotle sometimes they need some help to figure out what they are going to eat and it is when Chipotle helped them. People who work at Chipotle always try to be specific and clear in the way that they explain the customer what they might order to eat. Another way to let the customer know about what they should eat and what they are eating is by giving information posted in the Chipotle's to go bags. Ever time when you order an entrée to go, the company gives you one of about four or five artistic bags with a few sentences about the company's values. For example, "(Cartoon pig drawing, pig with speech bubble: "¡Viva la Revolución!") Okay pigs, it's time for us to get together and start fixing this system. We see the way that our pig friends get treated at their factory farms, and it's time we fight so all pigs can have the same rights we have! No more tight confining pens! No more antibiotics or non-vegetarian feed!!!!!!!! We can do it!" It is another way to let people know about Chipotle values, these bags have information about the animals raised, as well the beans, and vegetables that the company is using.

Consumer Decision Making-Stimulus(external) (week 6)


  • Customers who are visited Chipotle had been extraordinary wondered about the food and they way how it's make, so that recoment Chipotle to their friends, family members and others. It is how Chipotle chain goes by one customer to others people and so on. Customers who had tried Chipotle want to their friends and others to have the same experience and to taste the delicious of the food served at Chipotle. A lot of customers are wondered about how the guacamole tastes and they liked, why? because, it is home made and fresh. Every single of guacamole portion that you eat is fresh and every day made.  

Consumer Decision Making-Stimulus(internal) (week 6)



Chipotle found the keys of its success that is serving food with integrity and the great customer services. Customers like to eat great quality in the meet and have a extraordinary experience in any place that they like to eat. Well, Chipotle has these characteristics giving quality, even if they don't expect it and acknowledge their customers about food with integrity. Customers want to know what they are eating and they like to see how the food is cook. Chipotle is proud about its free-antibiotic meat, because Chipotle's goal is to give to their customers the best flavor, taste in their food. Once, every customer taste the food, Chipotle is convinced that he or she would come back, why? because they'll taste the quality and freshness of what they're eating.

Consumer Decision Making-Need Recognition (week 6)

Chipotle has set itself a step ahead of the competition by catering to customers concerned about sustainability. According to Ells (the owner of Chipotle), Chipotle buys more antibiotic-free and vegetarian-fed meat than any other restaurant in the world. As a result, Chipotle’s meat tastes much better than anywhere else.

Developing a Global Vision-Culture (week 5)


As we metioned before culture is very important to us as markets because there are many things to take in consideration. Chipotle is trying to get all the products 100 % natural and organic to satisfy its customers and people's culture. An example is Chipotle's menu, people whom for any reason, sometimes for religion can't eat meat, Chipotle has the capability to serve a delicious order without meat (vegetarian; burrito, tacos or salad).

Developing a Global Vision-Culture (week 5)


Corporate culture is a very integral part of the business as the company prides itself on its natural ingredients, responsible farming, as well community stewardship. This culture is passed on to customers, who are more likely to go out of their way to stop at Chipotle instead of a competitor because of the values they share with the company. All these values aren't always easy to implement and the company has struggled to find enough hormone free meat to supply their entire corporation. However, they have been able to at least roll out organic beef market by market and have a goal of completing this roll out in the next few years.

The Marketing Environment-Research (Week4)

At mychipotle.com, customers will be asked to tell us what love about Chipotle, and they also will have the chance to upload images,audio clips, and videos about their favorite Chipotle items. Customers submissions will be feature on the site, where they can be rated, discussed and shared with other customers. All of this will help Chipotle to know what are the improvements that they need to do in order of their customer satisfaction. Chipotle knows that customer service is very important for them and they know that they are being successful because of their customers. It is why Chipotle always is trying to improve more their relationship with each customer that they have in all the restaurants.

The Marketing Environment-Research (Week4)

The campaign called My Chipotle is designed to help them engage directly with their loyal customers in a way they never have before. Chipotle is very lucky to have an incredibly passionate customers base who chooses to talk about Chipotle in a way that's so genuine. The new campaign for the new menu is also the beginning of their effort to form a deeper, more meaningful connection with each and every one of the customers. The new campaign will use many traditional forms of media, including radio, print out doors and a significant online component. It is a website called ww.mychipotle.com.

The Marketing Environment-Research (Week4)


The new menu is intended to present greater variety, offer suggestions to customers who don't understand how customize their order. Also, provide options for customers who want something smaller, or who want to spend little less money and be more welcoming to families and kids. All of this would be possible while preserving the simplicity and efficiency or our streamlined service format. In additions to the changes to our menu, Chipotle is launching a new campaign in many of their mayor markets soon.    

The Marketing Environment-Research (Week4)

In response to the problem about the menu, Chipotle figured out how a new menu would help to their customers. The menu would show their  individual ingredient, but also it would show how customers would be able to combine all the ingredients. The menu also shows more variety and the most important it doesn't intimidate the new customers. All the new customers would have more clarity and explanations when they want to place their order.

The Marketing Environment-Research (Week4)

Chipotle is researching for new ideas that would improve its relationship with their customers. During the research, they find out that while their customers prefer their food to that of  their competitors, most of the customers were not aware that the superior quality of their raw    ingredients is one of the reasons for the great testing food. In the research project Chipotle find out some drawbacks to their simple menu. Their current menus display the individual ingredients, and leave it to the customers to figure out how to combine them.

Social Responsability (Week 2&3)

                                                            Food With Integrity

FWI is our commitment to finding the best ingredients with respect for the animals, the land, the environment, and the people who grow the food and raise the animals. Chipotle treated all animals humanely and respect from birth to slaughter, never given antibiotics, never given growth hormones, and they are vegetarian fed.  

Social Responsability (Week 2&3)

It's just as three simple words: Freshness, Simplicity, and Quality. All of the food is fresh. There are no freezers, microwaves or can openers at Chipotle. We use simple ingredients, just like the Chipotle pepper, which was only a humble jalapeno before it was dried and smoked, turning it into something extraordinary.

Ethical Behavior (Week 2&3)

Customers "customize" their own burritos or tacos. Everything is made in front of them; each customer see and select exactly what goes into their burrito or tacos. All of this is while they watch, not while they wait. If customers want extra cheese, less rice, more meat, all they have to do is ask. Chipotle'll make it perfect for them.

Ethical Behavior (Week 2&3)

Our marketing mirrors our food. We take traditional marketing tactics and execute them in untraditional ways. Our best marketing tools is inside the four walls, you and  your crew surprising and rewarding each customer on every visit. Raising expectations and disproving common ideas about a quick-service joint, and promoting the Chipotle personality.
