In Thailand's Impoverished Northeast, Fried Insects Have Traditionally Been a Popular

Question 154

Multiple Choice

In Thailand's impoverished northeast, fried insects have traditionally been a popular food, especially during the long dry seasons. It is a taste that migrant workers from the region have carried with them to Bangkok and elsewhere in Thailand. These migrants have been able to buy fried insects from small tattered-looking pushcarts. Then an entrepreneur decided to reposition the fried insects as a snack option to rival French fries, popcorn, and ice cream, give them a branded image, and market them to the middle class. The entrepreneur is calling his franchise operation Insects Inter (Insects International) and after six months of business, there were 60 Insects Inter franchises. Each franchisee is given a kiosk painted in the company colors with the company logo--a smiling cocoanut worm wearing a chef's hat. Its employees wear uniforms in the same colors as the kiosks and with the same logo. In fact, the logo appears on everything associated with the company. Insects Inter is planning on expanding operations to Indonesia and Korea.
-Whether in Thailand, Indonesia, or Korea, the first task of any promotional effort for Insects Inter is to:


A) inform customers of how good and how nutritious Insects Inters fried insects are.
B) persuade middle class customers to eat bugs.
C) cue consumer perceptions.
D) stimulate selective demand.
E) remind customers of the Insects Inter brand.
