This marketing plan presentation was presented by a group of graduate students from Golden Gate University for their Cheese Me food truck business. The presentation outlines the board members and goals of quickly serving customers at a cheap price while building loyalty. A survey showed most customers would buy from a food truck and were willing to spend $2-5. The marketing strategies section details approaches for placement, product, price, service, supply chain, integrated marketing communications including social media, and public relations such as food reviews and festivals.
