Brand Position
Sharing the J.CO Way
J.CO Donuts & Coffee prides itself for creating a lifestyle caf concept that is vibrant and
energetic, stylish yet interactive and customer-friendly, and for using only premium
ingredients in its signature range of coffee and chocolate beverages and variety of donuts
which appeal to even the most discerning customers. A typical J.CO Donuts & Coffee outlet
is well-designed to suit a lifestyle concept, with abundant energy, music, comfortable seating,
and highly attractive display counter with transparent kitchen.
Offline vs. Online Customers

J.CO Donut & Coffee works well in advertising online. Through the use of brand
community and presence in many blogs, it is inevitable that J.CO has strong brand
advertisement online. But one could never question the power of word-of-mouth which is
evident most especially when J.CO first opens in the Philippines. A trend was set during the
introduction of this product. It made it big from its introduction stage; it created a bandwagon
effect to its consumers and a lot of people got hooked with it.

The bottom line is that online and offline customers worked hand-in-hand in the
success of J.CO brand. Through the use of the two powerful advertising aids such as the
social media and the word-of-mouth, J.CO became a highly established brand. The only plus
factor of offline customers is that they come in handy with the product since it is not yet
making any online transactions here in the Philippines. But when the time came that people
can make orders online, it will surely click due to the convenience it gives to the customers.

Not all companies find many opportunities to differentiate their offerings and gain
competitive advantage. Some small companies find many advantages that may easily be
imitated by competitors and, therefore very fragile. The solution for this is for the company to
continuously provide excellent products or services. These companies do not expect to get a
big advantage that permanent, but many small advantages that can be introduced to win
market-share for a period of time. Product or service offerings in a market can be
differentiated by product, service, personnel, or image.

In this case J.CO is pursuing a strategy of product differentiation, service


differentiation, and personnel differentiation. It can be viewed by doing the right
differentiation strategy to position the company as a market leader. Proper differentiation
strategy is precisely what J.CO has over competitors that made them a pretty tough brand to
compete with. J.CO product differentiation is done by making the donuts that are very soft
and has a distinctive flavor that is not owned by competitors. Differentiation of services is
what J.CO prioritizes quality of service to its customers.

PART 7
CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK
Evaluation of the Companys Online Properties

Evaluating website structure:


On evaluating the online properties of J.CO Donuts, we look to the different angles on
how to take a good criticism to their online properties. We started to evaluate its structure as
we observed that J.CO Donuts uses a Hierarchical Structure to their website that allows any
user to navigate along with the content of the website, and by just clicking the mouse the user
can jump into several pages. Since its build with Hierarchical Structure it has no back button
feature where the user can go back previously.

Evaluating Website Theme and Strategy:


When it comes to the Theme and Strategy of the companys website, they
use their home page to attract user by using an animation of a zipping tumbler with a
sound effect to encourage the user to wait patiently while the page is loading up, and
when it loads completely, you can see that they use their home page to advertise their
new product. But even though its website is animated, if the user is using a wide
screen computer they will find the website full with vacant spaces, and even with the
color of the website is not very enticing even its filled with some light colors.

Evaluating Business Model:


The next thing that we evaluated is the business model of the website. Upon
visiting to J.COs website we easily determined that it created with a website for
advertising their product, in short their model is Advertising Model where they are
only using the website to advertise their company, product and service. We came up
to this conclusion because J.CO website did not include the prices of their products
and the delivery button only works for those who are in Indonesia.

Evaluating Website Objectives:


By evaluating different angles of their online properties specially their business
model, we had concluded that the primary objective of J.CO Donuts is to inform internet
user about their existence and to provide different information about their company,
product/ service as well as their location, community pages on twitter and Facebook. To
acquire potential customers is not only the objective of J.CO Donuts website; they also
attract investors and franchisee as they launched their franchise and contact button.

Recommendations for improving the business model:


After gathering and analyzing online some information about the online properties of our
chosen company which is the J.CO Donuts, we concluded that J.CO Donuts should have an
upgrade and renovate their models to attract more customers.
We recommend that the J.CO Donuts to upgrade their website structure from Hierarchical to
Mixed Hierarchical to enable the user to go back in their previous page in the site. When it comes
to their website theme, they should eliminate spaces in their website because it can create
boredom to the users, we suggest using more colors, slide shows pictures, linked videos, polls,
and advertising banners will be more effective to catch the eye of the customers and to convince
them to stay in the website in an allotted measure of time. Including about a certain description of
their product will be more effective to educate their customers on what they are offering. They
can also use their website to advertise other website and product/service that are not connected
with their product line to increase sales leads.
When it comes to its model which is advertising model, we suggest upgrading their model
into a brokerage model will be more effective in generating sales. We are saying this because, if
you had tried to go on a stores of J.CO Donuts you will be aware that their stores are really
trending since many people are falling in line just to buy their donuts. If J.CO Donuts will
provide a delivery service they will reach customers who have no time and patience to wait and
fall in line. In order to do this method they should have to create a new website only for the

68 | P a g e

Far Eastern University


Institute of Accounts Business and Finance

Philippines maybe www.jcodonuts.com.ph they should also include the prices of their products and
promos for the customer to be aware.
Recommendations for improving the opportunities:
o

To gain and retain more customers, J.CO Donuts should also explore more in the
field of online marketing. Since mobile marketing is such a boom in this
generation, why dont they enter the world of mobile marketing by generating
apps that will be suited to retain and acquire customers, and pay pop out banner
for other mobile apps to generate customer awareness?

Using alternative multimedia channels and tools such as video marketing tools
will also be a good help in promoting the companys products.

They should always update the information about their company, product and
service.

They should maximize the usage of their online communities such as their
Facebook Page, Twitter Account and Instagram Account to generate more
costumer awareness.
