Marketing Communication Planning for Yuppiechef Coffee Cafes
Step 1: Project Scope
The proposed project focuses on the design and execution of a marketing
communication campaign to launch Yuppiechef Coffee Cafes within the company’s
existing physical retail stores. This initiative seeks to transform the in-store experience
by introducing an innovative dining concept where all meals and beverages are
exclusively prepared and served using Yuppiechef’s premium kitchenware.
The purpose (why) of the project is threefold: to strengthen brand visibility, to deepen
customer engagement, and to increase foot traffic to Yuppiechef’s physical stores.
By positioning the cafes as immersive brand touchpoints, Yuppiechef aims to provide
customers with a functional lifestyle experience that demonstrates the practicality and
superior quality of its kitchenware. This strategy reinforces brand loyalty while
simultaneously encouraging incremental sales of both cafe offerings and retail products.
The stakeholders (who) engaged in the project include:
• The project manager (my role), tasked with overseeing the planning, execution,
and evaluation of the campaign.
• Yuppiechef’s internal marketing team, responsible for ensuring strategic
alignment with the broader brand strategy.
, • Store managers, who will coordinate operational integration between the retail
and cafe environments.
• External partners, including creative agencies for campaign materials and
digital marketing specialists for online advertising and influencer collaborations.
The implementation approach (how) is grounded in an Integrated Marketing
Communication (IMC) strategy, ensuring consistent messaging across all platforms.
The campaign will leverage multiple channels, including targeted social media
advertising (Instagram, X), email marketing, in-store activations, and influencer
partnerships. Key tactics include launch events at flagship stores, loyalty program
incentives to encourage repeat visits, and visually compelling content that highlights
both the cafe dining experience and Yuppiechef’s kitchenware in action. The campaign
will run for a three-month period, with performance measured through indicators such
as store traffic counts, point-of-sale data, and social media engagement metrics.
