🌟 The $300M Burger Blunder! 🌟 Back in the ‘90s, McDonald’s introduced the Arch Deluxe, a burger marketed as a “sophisticated” option for adults. They poured $300M into advertising, emphasizing a new, upscale identity. 🍟 What went wrong? Customers didn’t want “fancy” from McDonald’s—they craved fast, fun, and familiar. The product didn’t fit McDonald’s family-friendly, fast-food brand DNA. Despite the massive hype, it flopped spectacularly. 🔍 The Takeaway: Brand identity matters. Customers connect with authenticity. If a product veers too far from what they know and trust, even a massive budget won’t save it. 💬 Your turn: Would YOU buy a high-end product from a fast-food chain, or do you prefer they stick to the classics? Let’s discuss! #BrandingFails #MarketingLessons #CustomerTrust
