9.Barriers to implementation
Lack of financial support and attentive workforce
Kiwi Vinkingm has aimed to increase its market share so that it can develop its
sustainable position in the competitive fast food industry. Due to this reason, it has aimed to
develop different marketing plans, such as quality development, personal selling through emails,
direct and indirect marketing and brand image development plan. However, it cannot be denied
that it is a growing organization and due to this reason it has not developed its strong financial
status yet. In this situation, implementing the selling initiatives without any help of the investors
can be difficult for the company. On the other hand, in case of implementing the marketing
initiative, it is very important for the company to appoint attentive employees who will be able to
implement the entire plan properly. In that case, creative graphic designers are needed. However,
due to lack of training among the employees, it has become tough to create an attractive webpage
for the company. On the other hand, due to lack of financial and technological support, Graphic
designers do not get the chance to deliver standard quality of products to the customers.
Lack of sufficient time for implementing the plan
In every week only 12 hours have been allocated to Kiwi Vinkingm will consult with the
Marketing team complementing its task. It has become tough for the company to complete the
huge workload within 12 hours every week. Examining the ability of the employees, it can be
clearly said that it will be very difficult for the employees to complete the entire project within
selected time. The expected time can exceed during the consultation process with experts. In that
case, it can also be difficult for the company to grab attention of the target market within selected
time period.

Analyzing the key performance indicators of the company, in the current competitive
market measuring the target value of the company is truly difficult. In that case, the company
needs to focus on estimating the current customer base of the company. It is true that without
help of the customers, it will not be possible for the company to achieve its target within such
few months. In that case, 3 to 6 loyal customers needed to be viewed for understanding the
personal selling value of the company.

25MARKETING PLANNING AND CONTROL
Analyzing the business economy of New Zealand, it has been identified that in every year
increasing contribution from the food industry has brought various opportunities for the
organizations. With increasing opportunities in the market, the competitors of Kiwi Vinkingm
are also getting various growth opportunities in the market. In this situation, the brand awareness
initiative of the company may not be appreciated by the customers as competitors have already
developed strong image in the customers’ mind. On the other hand, competitors can invest in a
large amount for celebrity endorsement or others activities for reducing the impact on Kiwi
Vinkingm on customers’ mind.
In that case, company can involve itself for a community development program.
Examining the current industry trends, it can be said that in most of the cases food organizations
have involved in different community development program like environmental sustainability,
minimizing the food wastage and many more. These initiatives are beneficial for every
organization. Hence, it can be said that if Kiwi Vinkingm focuses on community development, it
can also help to increase its brand popularity.
Natural disaster
Due to the impact of natural disaster the food industry can be contaminated with chemical
and microbiological agents. As its impact, the unsafe food storage can create a food crisis. In
some of the cases, a natural disaster can bring the sanitation as well as diarrheal diseases. In that
case, it becomes hard for the food selling organizations to provide healthy food to the customers.
Due to natural disaster, the food contamination process influences the agricultural productivity.
In this case, maintaining basic food safety becomes harder for organizations.
If this kind of situation arises, the food storage needs to be ready. In this case,
maintaining the uninterrupted supply chain process, the company can focus on providing training
to the employees' so that they will be able to manage such situations. On the other hand, both the
chemical and physical characters of disaster needed are the examined properly. Personal
protective equipment tools needed to be ready so that safety of both the customers and
employees can be maintained.
