Its basic approach used in marketing and advertising

In this part, we will discuss about the restaurant marketing approach from the market segmentation approach, core product and positioning and also advertising approach.

Bamboo Tea Leaf Restaurant is using geographical segmentation and also behavioural segmentation for the target market segmentation. Bamboo Tea Leaf Restaurant is located in Kampar, so that it is targeting customer within this area, mostly are UTAR students. Another segmentation use by this restaurant is behavioural segmentation. They are targeting tea lover where this customer can get benefit sought that do not offer by others in this area.


Bamboo Tea Leaf core product is Chinese tea. They provide a complete tea set with tutorial for art of tea. They are using tea leaf as one of the ingredient in cooking. Some special dishes which cook with tea leaf such as Oolong tea fried rice and green tea fried rice are one of their chef recommendation. They also use their unique which do not offer by others within this area as their positioning strategy. 

Relax environment also one of their value positioning. They are using bamboo as their wall; design and thus create the mind peace atmospheres. Some customer like to have their meal there just because the relax environment with the Traditional Chinese Tea House.

Their mainly target customer is within this areas and also tea lover around this level, thus they do not do mass advertisement all around the country. They advertise their self by using large advertisement board just in front of their shop. They have a god strategic location where passengers in cars can saw the advertisement because their shop just in front of road.

Another method use by them to advertise is by using social media, Facebook, as one of their advertising approach. Target customers are UTAR student who are the teenagers who spend much of their time on Facebook when they are free.

Since their target customers are studying in UTAR, so they would like to sponsor event for to increase students’ awareness around the campus. B.O.S.S exhibition is one of the events that Bamboo Tea Leaf Restaurant had sponsor. This is a good idea to promote their shop among their target customer because it is one of the public relationships. Student feel being link to the shop because the shop supports their event. This will create a good bonding within the business and customer. It maybe create loyal customer too if the student feel comfortable when dining in their restaurant.

Another consequence is that when they feel comfort and love this environment, they will ask their friend coming together which had created the viral marketing of Word of Mouth. This will help them in building good perception and also increase their brand image.


 Chang Keong Dim Sum Restaurant is a restaurant who serves Dim Sum as their core product. They are also using geographical and also behavioural segmentation for their target segmentation.  Their main target customer is those who live in Ipoh and also have the behaviour of eating breakfast.

Dim Sum has become the symbol of Ipoh breakfast. Chang Keong Dim Sum Restaurant who offers Dim Sum has also become one of the attentions to Ipoh citizens. Furthermore, this restaurant has the competitive advantage of serving fresh and delicious food to customer.

Their core product or to say hot items are “Da Pau” and “Yu Pi Jiao”. “Da Pau” refers to big Pau made with chicken, pork and egg. “Yu Pi Jiao” is a seafood Dim Sum cover with fish skin. These products have differentiated them from other who is not serving this food because the making process is complicated. More and more food that are delicious can view from our photo.

The advertisement use by Chang Keong Dim Sum Restaurant is huge advertising board that high located in front of his restaurant. They are using two boards as shown in picture because they want to grab the attention of target customer in their sight as much as possible. 

Although they have their own social media, Facebook, as one of their advertisement channel, but they are not active because most of their customer are loyal customer. They are having good business all around the time because they had successfully grabbed the heart of customer by satisfying them.

Word of Mouth (WOM) also be one of their channel in advertising because they are long in industry and also one of the most popular Dim Sum restaurant in Ipoh. Loyal customer spread their word of mouth is much more effective than any of advertisement channel because it give confident to new seeker. 

Recommendations to improve businesses through e-commerce

Chang Keong Dim Sum
As we know, Social Recommendations and Referrals are important in increase the popularity of a local food. Therefore, Chang Keong (CK) Dim Sum should consider making their Facebook page as an official one, and updating their page more often. They should not only providing their address and contacting information in it, but also some of the latest news such as new invention of dim sum, interview from TV shows such as Ho Chak! and announcement by newspaper company such as Sin Chew and Nan Yang. They could also put more photos of special VIPs who visited their shops recently in the page and what are their recommended dim sums. In another way, they could also set up their own website, with title such as “Want Dim Sum? Come CK!” to attract more online surfers, especially the teenagers who spend most of the time in playing social media.
Second, CK Dim Sum could imitate the online ordering services like Bamboo Tea Leaf, which they do it through Facebook. However, we would like to suggest CK Dim Sum to register a group chat in online messaging apps such as Wechat or Whatsapp. This can allow interested customers to order for food while helping them to save more time and effort. However, it would require CK Dim Sum to repack their food in a way that could be delivered safely and reach to a certain area. For instance, the online delivery of “Da Pau” can be packed in a vacuum bag in unheated form, which customers can use a steamer to steam it before eating them to ensure freshness and good taste.
 Bamboo Tea Leaf
As mentioned previously, Bamboo Tea Leaf only target nearby customers, this is because they do not have space which is large enough to serve too many dine in customers. Although they has been using the online ordering method to solve some of the customers’ needs, but in the end, their customers still prefer to enjoy their environment. In this case, they are suggested make good use of online ordering sales promotion. For example, when you order it through online, you could enjoy 20% discount in every receipt. This can balanced out the tendency of customers to visit the shop personally because some of the customers would preferably enjoy a lower price while getting the same product. Therefore, it enables them to target more consumers who seem to prefer Chinese tea in their own environment, thus also gradually increases their sales and popularity through e-commerce.
Next, although they promote their food and drinks through viral marketing is effective, but it does not affect consumers in other areas besides Kampar. Their big banner or shop sign can only be seen by consumers around this area. Hence, instead of focusing too much on the brick (physical shop), they should also focus more on the click (online sales and strategies). If they planned to do this business worldwide, they could consider doing some grand promotion through internet in order to enhance consumers’ mind and impression. For example, they could open their own website and design it to suit global culture. They could do it professionally by introducing their products history and teaching the art of preparing tea, through short creative videos. This could help them to promote their products in a wider geographical area, and serve their customers in terms of higher quality and brand.
