Kraft Foods, one of the largest food manufacturers in the country, accomplishes its goals of the customer attraction, retention, and solving customer complaints through several means. According to Eccles (1981) customers prefer flexibility in their product and service offerings. Flexibility in product and service offerings not only provides the options to customers to choose and select only those products and services that best meet their needs but it also facilitates the process of customization and personalization. Similarly, Porter (1980) argues that in the present dynamic environment, a number of firms are shifting their focus from transaction-based interactions to relationship-based interactions. Since a firm usually incurs far more money in attracting a new customer than maintaining an existing one, it is always beneficial for the firm to lock- in its existing customers by developing close relations with them. In this perspective, businesses are encouraged to take notice of the customer's life….
It is a bit too whimsical and playful, as though it was designed for children. Since consumers are influenced by visual imagery, the environment in which they view things is important (Meyvis et. al, 2012). If children are the target audience, then this would be fine. but, it is safe to assume that Kraft is targeting an adult audience. After viewing this section, the consumer may decide not to view anything else because they may not take Kraft seriously.
The other section of Kraft's website that appears on the main page is the 'ecipes and Product Information' option. When this option is selected, the consumer is taken to a page that also displays a menu bar at the top. What works in Kraft's favor is that they were conscientious enough to post recipes and other information specifically geared toward the consumer.

Kraft Foods is a major producer of supermarket food items. There are four generic strategies that define the position of a fir within an industry. Kraft operates with a differentiation strategy; here brand recognition and higher prices illustrate the premium value that Kraft brands have for consumers. This strategy is not perfectly aligned with the company's strengths and weaknesses, however. This poor alignment can be dealt with. First, Kraft needs superior products that can help it appeal to modern shoppers. Second, Kraft needs to fight to regain its bargaining power with the discount stores -- it has the ability to attract customers but needs to break out a cycle of not being able to afford to support its brands.

The intensity of rivalries will negatively influence Kraft. This can lead to price wars and similar merchandise geared towards their customer base. ("Kraft Foods," 2013) (Nestle, 2007) (David, 2009)
Evaluate the organization's Intensive Strategy, in the areas of Market Penetration, Market Development and Product Development.
Market penetration is when a Kraft is focusing on increasing its market share for products through improving its advertising. This is occurring with the firm sponsoring different events that highlight the merchandise they are selling. At the same time, they have specific commercials and newspaper / radio / online advertisements that will enhance their image of specific brands. Market development is when Kraft is introducing new products to emerging economies. This is occurring with company focusing their efforts in China, India, Brazil and ussia. Product development is where the firm will modify various types of merchandise. This is taking place with the company understanding changes in….
In addition, it makes little sense to split out Canada as a unique reporting segment from the United States. The highly integrated economies, free flow of goods, near parity of currency and nearly identical product lines would indicate that there is little operational or strategic benefit to cutting Canada out from the United States. This may allow Kraft to rationalize production more, improving efficiency. The possibility of rationalizing production for Mexico should also be explored as that nation's economy becomes more integrated with that of the United States.
Conclusions
Kraft attempts to build share in its mature markets through a differentiation strategy. There is evidence, however, in the company's inefficiency and lower than industry averages margins, that the consuming public does not ascribe to Kraft the degree of differentiation that the company seeks. In order to improve efficiency, two steps can be taken. The first is to lower prices, spurring more demand.….

The fourth C. is contagiousness. In communications, contagiousness is good. One wants their viewers to catch the message, run with it, and spread it around.

Situation Analysis
Marketing to Millennials is important. The problem has been that they have been ignored and instead, their parents were the ones that were a market to for many years. This is significant since parenthood is altering the way millennials have been interacting with products and how they pick the products. Before they had children, millennials were particularly more likely to purchase brands that they looked at as having amazing quality. This was regardless of the value. They now put a greater stress on convenience and price in comparison to other features when ordering for themselves. Kraft Canada wants to come up with a way to not just market to the parents, but also to their children in a way that is effective and that can be traded in a way that is appealing (Kraft Foods Canada:Targeting The Millennials 2014). It is evident to the company that such transitions make….
