were preoccupied with domestic expansion in the USA. When the enterprise did invest in
Japan, the venture proved highly profitable, as it corresponded to a period of rapid
growth in Japan ± a time during which the standard of living was rapidly increasing,
along with disposable income. The years from 1985 to 1992 came to be known as the

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
Fast Food Restaurant, also named as Quick Service Restaurant link towards buildings used
for the preparation and making and sale of ready-to-eat food. Fast Food
Restaurants are also described by a limited menu of food items prepared quickly with food
machines (often within a few minutes for preparing), and sometimes cooked in bulk in
advance and kept hot to serve quickly to eat. (M. J. Schröder & Mc Eachern, 2005) Any
eatery described by the capacity, on a fundamental level, to give hot sustenance the base of
deferral (regularly no longer than a supporter would be glad to stand and pause). Does not
13. 6
really block the preparing of nourishment to arrange. A drive-through joint, otherwise called
a speedy administration eatery (QSR) inside the business, is a particular sort of eatery that
serves cheap food cooking and has negligible table administration.(Tan, Oriade , & Fallon,
2014) The sustenance served in drive-through joints is regularly part of a "meat-sweet
eating routine", offered from a restricted menu, cooked in mass ahead of time and kept hot
,completed and bundled to arrange, and normally accessible for remove, however
seating might be given. Drive-through eateries are commonly part of an eatery network or
establishment activity that gives institutionalized fixings as well as incompletely arranged
sustenance’s and supplies to every eatery through controlled supply channels. The
expression "cheap food" was perceived in a word reference by Merriam– Webster in
1951.(Sharma, Bash, Patel, Friedrich, & Chase, 2005)
2.1 Traditional Marketing and Experiential Marketing
In the world of marketing explains the two major types of marketing in form of experiential
marketing and the traditional marketing, the idea of experiential marketing new concept of
experiential marketing during the period 1950s (Richards, 2021). The concept of traditional
marketing focus on the concept of production concept, the product concept, selling concept
and now move to customer focus marketing concept (Teklehaimanot et al., 2019). Manager of
the marketing creates the values for customer in form of brand delivered, brand creativity,
brand communication to their royal customers (Al-Abdallah, 2022). Now the globalization
the world of marketing shift to experiential marketing approach and experiential marketing
creates the values for superior customers and significant relationship with brands (Carroll,
2018).
14. 7
Through experiential marketing the consumer perception regarding global fast-food brands
restaurants that the products not available in the restaurants but the consumer experience has
strongly impact on consumer purchase behavior (Naseem et al., 2015). Because the consumer
perception regarding restaurant of the global fast-food brands has good experience then
consumer create positive attitude toward global fast-food brand restaurants (Choi et al.,
2020).
2.2 Experiential Marketing
Prior research study explained that in the experiential marketing engagement of the customer
has the positive impact on the consumer purchase intention (An et al., 2020). In the
experiential marketing the consumer buying behavior in form of rational and based on
emotional activities to achieve happiness through brands (Schmitt & Zarantonello, 2013). The
customer satisfaction level increased through experiential marketing and customer will
integrates with the approach of two-way communication to developed their personalities
utilized global fast-food brands restaurants (Karam & Saydam, 2015). The real time
experiential marketing activities creates the values for target audience and also global brands
restaurants through communication which creates live global brands restaurants (Al-
Abdallah, 2022). Because of experiential marketing focuses on the emotions and satisfaction
of the consumers as compare to quality of the brands (Maghnati et al., 2012). So that
experiential marketing is different to traditional marketing because of experiential marketing
significance importance on consumer experience. Therefore, the important points of the
experiential marketing relate the consumers emotional factors, behavior factors, consumer
attitudes, consumers opinion (Kazmi et al., 2021). Actually, there are three main factors to
developed the concept of experiential marketing. With the help of traditional marketing the
messages of advertising communicate to consumer more attractive and in the globalization
era the global brand restaurants face competition and not possible to maintain this
15. 8
competitive advantage (Mortimer, 2009). So that the experiential marketing is becoming the
most important factor for the global fast-food brands restaurants in the competitive
environments and consumer searched the pleasurable environments with good experience
when they have spent time in the restaurants of the global fast-food brands (Farzin et al.,
2021). The consumer engaged different types of experiences such as physical experience,
price relate experience, self-perception experience, behavior and lifestyles and social
experience to creates values for brands (Plotkina, & Rabeson, 2022). Through the experience
of sense, the consumers essential focus on their observations of the brands with touch, brand
taste, brand quality and smell create the differentiation to others brands and create consumer
purchase intention. The consumer evaluates the global fast-food restaurants also utilized the
own perception and judgments to better decision making (Krishnan et al., 2022). The feel
experience creates the emotions and good feeling regarding restaurant of the global fast-food
brands and to developed effective positive impact on their buying behavior. So that the
consumer of the global fast-food brands restaurants creates the positive connections with
these brands (Maghnati et al., 2012).
2.3 Sensory Experience
In the field of marketing, the experience of sensory associated with consumer purchase
intention. Also, the sensory experience significant impact on the consume of global fast-food
restaurants. Here multi-sensory experience impact on consumer behavior, such as smell,
sound, sight, touch and taste are important factors in the approach of experiential marketing
(Ahmad & Shoaib, 2022). In the prior research study suggested that customer analysis
sensory experience with internal thinking point of views such as the factors of touch, sound,
scent, sight and taste Pluta-Olearnik & Szulga, 2022). Actually, the customer developed the
message in form of sensory experience significant message through the experience towards
brands through their sense. So that the customer creates the value of sensory experience
16. 9
concept or judgements to differentiated through their experienced (Gupta & Bhattacharjee,
2020). Through the experience of the sensory developed the strategy in the mind of
consumers the factor as the differentiator sensory experience (Ahmad & Shoaib, 2022).
Therefore, the sensory experience creates the differentiation in the consumers’ minds that the
brands have different in form of taste, quality, brand image in the globalization. So, the
marketing experts used these different stimulates for consumers in different things, and these
stimulates with the help of brand design, brand communications, brand quality, brand price,
brands physical sale point location (Chepchirchir & Leting, 2015). Through the sensory
experience consumer touch the global fast-food brands restaurants and consumers can
motivates these sensory experience and impact on the consumer purchase intention (Liu et al.,
2021). Actually, the experience of the sensory is the form of value in the restaurants of the
global fast-food brands. So that marketing managers share these sensory experiences in form
of unique values to consumers that impact on the consumer behavior (Naseem et al., 2015).
2.4 Feel Experience
The feel experience is the consumer inner satisfaction and inner emotion, inspirations and
consumer feeling have been perceived from the restaurants of the global fast-food brand and
services (Doeim et al., 2022). Therefore, the consumers these feel experiences different forms
such as relate to good mood in in the restaurants of the global fast-food brands. To developed
positive feelings during the time, spend in the restaurant of the global fast-food brands and
consumption of the fast-food brands creates the positive experiences in the feel experience
and have positive impact on consumer purchase intention (Choi et al., 2020).
The prior research study suggested that good feel experience creates good emption towards
restaurant of the global fast-food brands (Soon, 2019). When consumer have good feel
experience regarding the consumption process in the restaurants, environments of the
restaurants, management behavior of the restaurants and quality of the brands have positive
17. 10
association on the consumer buying behavior. In the prior research study suggested that the
feel marketing is the essential marketing strategy and also implementation for consumers to
creates the deep love for brands through the feel experience marketing to succeed in the
restaurants of the global fast-food brands (Singh & Nanda, 2022).
In the past research study through the feel experience marketing creates the consumers
consumptions experiences.
2.5 Think Experience
In the restaurant of the global fast-food brands perspective the think experience relate to the
consumer mental experience and the think experiential is the essential components in the
experiential marketing and impact on consumer behavior (METIN & KIZGIN, 2015).
Because the think experience creates opinions in form of new perceptions or ideas regarding
the brands, such as the restaurants of the global fast-food brands and based on these processes
or ways consumer creating new concepts or new ideas to global brands restaurants (Swoboda
& Sinning, 2021). Prior research study suggested that think experience is the essential
marketing experience and the marketing method model to creates consumers thinking in form
of creativities regarding the restaurants of the global fast-food brands (Raman & Aashish,
2020).
So that marketing experts encouraged to consumers things regarding global fast-food brands
or global brand symbol, sign of brands the global fast-food brands companies used in their
marketing strategies. Because the consumers of the global fast-food brands restaurants have
no explain the benefits or the features of the global brands but the think experience encourage
consumers in the field of experiential marketing (Raman & Aashish, 2020).
2.6 Act Experience
In the restaurants of the global fast-food brands the act experience on based experiences with
the consumer physical body language, consumer behavior and consumer lifestyle. These
18. 11
experiences consumers learned from the social interaction in the society and meet others
peoples (Parsa et al., 2017). So that consumer developed a sense of sensation, the influences
of the global brands restaurants and the association with these restaurants of global fast-food
brands offered global brand companies (Sampaothong, 2018). Through the act experience the
marketing managers creates consumer experience with the help of behavior of the individual,
individual consumer social behavior, consumer lifestyle through the essential factor of social
interaction. (Chivandi et al., 2020).
2.7 Relative Experience
Through the relate experience enable consumer to build their social relationships and
connection with the social activities and social communities regarding consumer purchase
behavior (Panachuenvongsak & Ashaye, 2022). So that the concept of relate experience of
the experiential marketing can be enhanced through relate marketing campaign social
activities which build positive perception and self-improvement and developed relationship
with social activities and social communities (Ibrahim & Aljarah, 2021). In the experiential
marketing the relate experience developed the consumers feelings associated with consumers
perceptions, consumers preferences, consumer relate to culture (Lopez & Rodriguez, 2018).
Therefore, in the experience marketing the global brand have the positive association with
social factors such as the consumer behavior, consumer habits, consumers culture and the
consumer lifestyle
(Bhardwaj et al., 2011).
2.8 Customer Perceived Value
Price is amount of money that is levied on a product or service from the value exchanged by
the customers to gain benefit from owning or using a product or service (Kotler and
19. 12
Armstrong, 2008). Engel (2004) defines price as the sum of money (plus a few products) that
are required to obtain a combination of products and services. According to Stanton (1994)
prices is a number of value that the consumer exchanged with the benefits of owning or using
a product or service which value is set by the buyer or the seller (through bargaining) or set by
the seller with similar price for all buyers.
Paul Peter and Jerry Olson (2000) states perceived price related with how the price
information is fully understood by the consumer and give deep meaning for them. At the time
consumer evaluate and research towards the price of a product, it is influenced by the behavior
of the consumers themselves.
Thus the assessment of a product price that said to be expensive, cheap or normal
from any individual is not necessary the same because it depends on the individual's
perception that has been overshadowed by the surroundings and conditions of the individual
life environment. In the decision making, the prices have two main roles, namely:(Fandy
Tjiptono, 2008).
1) Allocation role, which helps the buyer to decide the best way to obtain the expected
benefits in accordance with the purchasing power. Thus, the prices can help the buyer to
decide how to allocate their purchasing power in different types of goods or services.
Buyers compare prices of the various alternatives available, and then decide the allocation
of funds desired.
2) Information role, it is to educate consumers about the factors of product sold, such as
quality. This is particularly useful in situations where buyers have difficulties to assess
products’ factors objectively or its benefits. The common perception was that the prevailing
high prices reflect the high quality.
2.9 Consumer Purchase Intention
Price is one of the ways to encourage the consumers’ interest to make purchase decisions on
KFC Kisamaun Tangerang branch products. Where the price offered is relatively affordable
and very varied. KFC offers a package at an affordable price to help consumers in choosing
the products that suitable with their Allowance. When the consumers buy with package price,
the consumers can get discounted price compared to only buy each one of the products.
Consumers’ purchase decision is a consumers’ decision to buy the product more than once.
Consumer purchase decision is also accompanied by factors that influence it, especially the
information about the products benefits they get.

2.10 Consumer Behavior Theory
The consumer decision process is composed of problem recognition, search,
evaluation, and purchase decision. Post-purchase behavior is the result of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction that the consumption provides. The buying
process starts when the customer identifies a need or problem or when a need
arises. It can be activated through internal or external stimuli.

price. Following are the different possible segmentsin this regard.

2.11 Theoretical arguments and hypotheses development
The main objective of the current research study was to concludes the consumer perception
on the global fast-food brand restaurants using the experiential marketing in the city of
Karachi. The past research described the five different types of experience related to
experience marketing and well known as the strategic experiential factors the global brands
restaurant managers considered in the developed marketing strategies to satisfied the
consumer’s needs.
In the traditional marketing is the new concept of experiential marketing significant important
in the restaurant of global fast-food brands and the research of this concept little work of
research but there are many empirical research studies developed the association between the
new concept of experiential marketing with consumer purchase intention. The important
construct of the experiential marketing is the sensory experience of the consumer or sensory
22. 15
perception of the consumer play essential factor in the customer satisfaction and consumer
purchase intention association (Yang, 2009). Therefore, the variable of consumer purchase
intention has more impact on the positive experience of the consumer behavior.

Quantitative research needs proper explanation and future knowledge that can be transfer to
other groups, places and organizations. Quantitative research in social science is the most
dominant research. It is all about technique, economic process, strategies, social process and
assumptions by the study of numeric patterns. The researchers use that research and translate
that into numeric data. Therefore, the quantitative research is basically to translate all the data
that you collected and convert that data into quantified. The research is not dependent on the
researchers and the research is also measured the reality. The objective of the quantitative
research is to statistically measure the data. The purpose of quantitative research is to know
the correlations between dependent variables and independent variables and is there
relationship has a positive or negative impact on the organization through data collection.
3.2 Research design
The Design of this research is using causal research. SUGIYONO (2013) states, causal Are a
cause-effect relationship in which the independent variables affect the dependent variable.
This research aims to determine the effect of two independent variables (exogenous), which
are brand image and perceived price, to one dependent variable (endogenous), which is the
purchase decision. In other word, this research Aim to determine the influence of brand image
and perceived price on purchase decisions at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Tangerang
