As a movie critic, I’d say: “Hold the popcorn!” In an unexpected twist, it’s not Netflix or Hulu making headlines with lower prices, but rather McDonald’s! Yes, you heard that right. They’ve decided to reduce the cost of their combo meals. It seems the fast-food giant is determined to remind us all that a trip to McDonald’s remains an affordable luxury. Frankly, this move is a game changer, and I can’t help but think other companies might want to follow suit!
According to CNN’s report, even the CEO of McDonald’s acknowledged that their prices are excessively high. Frankly, we’re taken aback by this news! In early August, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski expressed concern that consumers seeking affordable options frequently encounter meals priced over $10 at McDonald’s, which he believes is negatively influencing the perception of value. He admitted that they need to address and lower these prices to improve the situation.
It appears McDonald’s is moving forward with its promise to reduce prices, as reported by CNN. The fast-food giant and its U.S. franchisees have agreed to sell eight popular combo meals for 15% less than the combined cost of purchasing the items individually. McDonald’s will provide financial assistance to franchisees who choose to lower their prices, with the goal that these combos do not exceed $10 each.
It’s likely that if McDonald’s lowers their prices, they’ll experience increased spending from a larger number of customers. Other brands could learn from this strategy. While people might tolerate price increases, they tend to become resentful. However, reducing prices, similar to what McDonald’s is planning, can significantly change a brand’s perception in the eyes of consumers. Goodwill is powerful and long-lasting. We’re eagerly waiting to see how the price cuts at McDonald’s unfold, and we’ll certainly cheer if they follow through with their lower prices.
