Marketing Strategy
1) Affordable Price
When compared to its competitors, the price offered by Mixue is relatively lower or
competitive. Nonetheless, the quality of the product, packaging, and outlet design
remain attractive so these supporting variables make Mixue not only affordable, but
also worth buying.
2) Strength in Supply Chain
Mixue has built an advantage in supply chain management, one aspect that is very
difficult for other competitors to follow. Starting from its large number of branches,
large-scale purchasing results in low raw material prices. Mixue is able to reduce the
cost of delivering products at affordable prices to a very wide market. Mixue also
ensures that the raw materials they use are always in the freshest state when received
by their outlets, making it easier for Mixue to present products with the best quality
standards to customers. In addition, Mixue has the ability to build an excellent supply
chain management system.
3) Targeting the Lower Middle Market
By implementing a low price strategy, Mixue targets the lower-middle market, which
is the majority of the population in Indonesia today. Most of Mixue's customers are
students and workers. Therefore, Mixue's sales in Indonesia scooped up a large target
market resulting in large profits as well.
4) Establishing Partnerships
Providing brand licences (partnerships) on an individual or corporate basis is one of
the strategies used to expand sales quickly and widely. By establishing partnerships,
Mixue can work on a very large market from various circles in various regions,
especially with partnership costs that are still relatively standard.
5) Jingle Marketing
Mixue uses cute jingles as audio sensory marketing. Jingles are usually played in each
of their outlets repeatedly to increase brand recall in consumers. Jingles are proven to
be one of the marketing tools that can help a brand be recognised and remembered by
the public year after year.
6) Relying on Dense Areas
Mixue uses the "Trading Area" method of capitalising on dense areas by marketing its
business in small towns and educational areas such as schools and universities. This
has successfully made Mixue more recognisable as a product aimed at the lower
middle class.
7) Continue to Innovate
Mixue continues to innovate by creating new menus and promos in order to compete
and attract customer attention and interest. The results of research conducted on
competitors will be combined with the uniqueness of Mixue itself. The innovation has
made Mixue slowly grow into a big company with a net profit of $800 million.
