Hadilao Vietnam's digital marketing team has been designated with the responsibility of developing an
annual digital marketing plan for the brand. This plan will encompass various elements of the SOSTAC
framework, ensuring a comprehensive and effective strategy for the organization's digital marketing
efforts.
2. Objectives
Sell: Display ads and search ads redirecting to the website: Run a campaign to advertise the promotion by
redirecting to the website, and add an online booking system which has not yet available, to the website
with the expectation to increase sale revenue by 15% in 3 months of December 2023, January and
February 2024 in compared to same months last years.

rate by 50%
Save: Optimize display ads and search ads through analytic tools, decrease CPC by 10%
Sizzle: Ensure logo, brand identity through social media, website, graphic, video, etc. Furthermore, the
brand should conduct collaboration with Influencers to build a positive image in customer’s mind.
Expecting to increase brand awareness by 10%
Overall, considering the impact of covid 19 heavily affecting the service industry, growth in terms of sales
might be staggering. Therfore it is realistic to set a growth number goal in a considerable figure of 10-
20%. A duration of 3 months should be enough time for the brands to execute its plan and ends at the last
time of the year. Consequently, it is a good time to reflect on the effectiveness of the campaign and
planning for the next year.
3. Strategy
3.1 Target market:
Demographic (25-35 years old; both male and female): Haidilao customer segment spans all ages from
young to old, all genders. Mainly customers who have worked and have a stable economy (IPos, 2022).
People in this age group, because they are financially stable and usually office workers, should often gather
to eat and drink. Besides, office work takes up a lot of time, so they often have the habit of eating out.
Behavioural: Haidilao focuses on customers who have a liberal and open lifestyle, and at the same time,
have food preferences. Besides, they are people who like to gather to eat and drink, and have a habit of
ordering food online. They also spend much time suffering through social media or e-commerce (IPos,
2022). According to VNIS (2023), the largest number of internet users are from 25 to 34 years old,
accounting for 16.0% of the total population. Besides, the average internet usage time of a person is 6 hours
and 23 minutes (VNIS, 2023). In addition, the average time spent on social media is 2 hours 32 minutes
(VNIS, 2023). Here are some pictures provided by VNIS in 2023:
Figure 3: Statistics on the use of social networks in Vietnam in 2023 (VNIS, 2023).
Geographically (focusing on Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City): Haidilao mainly focuses on urban areas,
major shopping and tourist centers, as well as areas with people who tend to spend liberally (IPos, 2022).
Because of their generous spending lifestyle, they are willing to shell out large sums of money for a meal.
3.2 OVP
Haidilao's Facebook page is a valuable resource for customers as it regularly shares updates on upcoming
promotions and events. By keeping customers informed, Haidilao ensures that they are aware of exciting
upcoming opportunities and can plan to visit and enjoy these experiences. Furthermore, Haidilao goes
further by providing convenient options for customers to reserve a table in advance, whether it is through
their Instagram link, website or phone number. This level of approach demonstrates Haidilao's
commitment to customer satisfaction and convenience. Additionally, Haidilao posts are customer-centric,
providing valuable information and updates about the brand. This not only demonstrates Haidilao's
dedication to keeping customers up to date, but also creates a sense of concern and consideration for their
needs. Ultimately, these efforts contribute to a more seamless and comfortable experience for Haidilao
customers, ensuring they can easily access the essential information they need.
4. Tactics
4.1 Tools, platforms channels
As customers move down the sales funnel, omnichannel marketing combines branding, message, and
online and offline touchpoints seamlessly to provide a better customer experience. Omnichannel marketing
draws attention to customer-centered marketing strategies. Its objective is to provide users with a perfect,
useful, and immensely satisfying user experience. (marketingevolution.com, 2023).
Digital platform/tools:
Social media platform:
Facebook:
Haidilao is most active and well-known on these social media networks (200k likes and follows).
Additionally, as the majority of Haidilao cliemtele users are young people, who make up the demographic
of the population that is most exposed to social media, these channels have the most potential to grow
traffic. (Wutzke, 2021)
Increase visibility: Social media may help businesses reach a wider audience and increase their visibility.
Businesses can increase their visibility to potential clients by keeping an active online presence through
regular publishing and conversation with followers. (Wutzke, 2021)
Cost-effective: Businesses may rapidly and cheaply reach their target audience by using social media
platforms. Businesses with limited marketing resources have a great option in social media because it
allows them to create and distribute content without incurring significant fees.
Enhance customer relationship: Due to the two-way nature of social media, businesses may interact with
their clients and create enduring relationships with them. Businesses can gain their followers' trust and
loyalty by promptly and helpfully responding to their questions and comments from customers. This will
boost traffic and revenue. (Wutzke, 2021)
Tiktok:
Due to the two-way nature of social media, businesses may interact with their clients and create enduring
relationships with them. Businesses can gain their followers' trust and loyalty by promptly and helpfully
responding to their questions and comments from customers. This will boost traffic and revenue.
Wide reach: With more than 49.86 million monthly active users (VNIS, 2023), Haidilao is one of the
largest social media platforms. Producing and distributing content on Tiktok, which has a large user base,
gives businesses a better chance of being discovered by new customers. (Salamander, n.d.).
Improve search rankings: Short videos on Tiktok have the potential to score highly in search results,
particularly for more specialized long-tail keywords. By optimizing their films for search engines,
businesses can raise their search engine rankings and improve website traffic. (Salamander, n.d.).
Branding: Companies can use Tiktok to share brief movies that highlight their brand's culture and values.
Producing videos that reflect the goal and values of the brand can help businesses get the attention and
loyalty of their key customers. (Salamander, n.d.).
Website:
Currently, the interaction effect on Haidilao's website is not high. The site's bounce rate (the percentage of
visitors who leave after viewing only one page) is quite high, around 58% (SimilarWeb, 2023), indicating
that visitors may not be finding what they're looking for or your content. The website is not attractive
enough to keep visitors on the site. In addition, the effectiveness of sales on the web is not high.
Increased visibility: Websites give businesses online presence and make it simple for prospective clients
to find them. When a website is optimized for search engines, the chances of getting found by clients
looking for your company's goods or services are significantly boosted. (Parachute, n.d.).
Branding and messaging control: A website gives businesses complete control over the voice and tone
of their brand. Companies can then use a website that accurately represents their brand to communicate
with their target population.
24/7 Accessibility: Due to its constant availability, customers can visit your website whenever and from
any location. This suggests that businesses can still gain visibility and leads even if they are not actively
marketing or selling anything..
1. Cost-effective: Compared to conventional advertising and marketing methods, a website can provide
more visitors and leads for less money. Once a website is operational, there is very little continuing
expense involved in keeping it up and promoting it.
2. Analytics and tracking: Websites offer organizations a goldmine of data and analytics for tracking and
analyzing user activity, traffic sources, and conversion rates. With this knowledge, marketers may fine-
tune their strategies for greater effectiveness in attracting customers and increasing sales (Parachute, n.d.).
Overall, using a website to enhance traffic can help businesses become more visible online, provide more
leads, and increase sales. These correspond to Haidilao's objectives. Additionally, Haidilao's website is not
particularly efficient. As a result, brands need to focus more on this platform.
Brands must provide display content that appeals to customers by updating the web interface to be more
modern and eye-catching in light of current concerns. Additionally, the functions associated with online
ordering ought to be more practical.
SEO Tools (Search Engine Optimization)
To optimize the display efficiency of Haidilao's website, news, and channels. Currently, Haidilao uses
SEO on Google. In August 2023, the total number of visits to Haidilao's website was only more than 93
thousand, and the bounce rate was about 58%, which was low. (SimilarWeb, 2023).
Increase Web Visibility and Traffic: Search engine optimization (SEO) increases the likelihood that a
website will be discovered and visited by potential customers. As a result, more people will view your
website, increasing your chances of making a sale (Muthoni, 2021).
Improve User Experience: SEO is the process of enhancing a website's visibility in search engine results
by adjusting the content and architecture of the website to better serve the needs of users. This is likely to
increase user interest and time spent on the site (Muthoni, 2021).
Higher Search Engine Ranking: SEO, or search engine optimization, improves the visibility of the
website in the SERPs and thus the likelihood that visitors will click on the website (Muthoni, 2021).
Cost-effective Marketing: SEO is a long-term investment with a low return on investment. While it may
require some time and effort in the beginning, it can have a positive long-term impact on a site's
discoverability and traffic (Muthoni, 2021).
Increase Credibility And Trust: Customers tend to trust and buy from websites that appear higher in
search engine rankings. This has the potential to increase conversion rates, brand recognition, and
customer loyalty (Muthoni, 2021).
Launch pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on search engines and social media platforms to target potential
customers who are actively searching for relevant products like coffee and tea. You should use relevant
keywords, eye-catching ads, and compelling calls-to-action to increase clickthrough and conversion rates.
Immediate results: Once a pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaign is started, the ad is immediately
presented to the intended audience. This can be especially helpful for companies that need a spike in
website visitors, leads, or sales
Targeted Ads: Businesses can use pay-per-click (PPC) advertising to target specific demographics, such as
schools, locations, and interests, to make it more likely that their ads will be seen by the target market.
This could lead to higher conversion rates and a better ROI.
Measurable results: PPC advertising makes it possible to measure results, making it easier to manage
campaigns and make data-driven decisions. Businesses can measure metrics like click-through rate (CTR),
conversion rate, and cost-per-click (CPC) to improve ROI.
Cost-effective: PPC advertising is a good way for businesses to promote their products and services, as
they only pay when their ads are clicked. Advertising costs can add up quickly, but by setting and sticking
to a budget, businesses can keep their costs under control
Brand awareness: Businesses might benefit from PPC advertising because it targets a particular
demographic with its adverts. Even if they don't click on it, the more times individuals view an
advertisement, the more familiar they will be with the brand.
PPC marketing works similarly to the SEO tool stated above for the current channels and platforms. PPC
enables businesses to enhance the efficiency of their promotion while optimizing their content.
Additionally, the employment of this technology supports the previously established objectives of raising
revenue, raising awareness, raising interaction, and reducing communication expenses.
This action plan will help Haidilao in many ways such as increasing brand awareness, brand presence,
customer engagement and revenue. First of all, on Awareness, it is possible to increase brand awareness
and reach a larger audience by investing in digital marketing and influencer partnerships. Through social
networking sites, Haidilao can easily reach the audience targeted by the campaigns, because this is also the
part of the people who use the most social networks. The ads for the campaign will be posted 5-10 days
earlier before deployment so that customers can clearly grasp the program information.
Second, cross-platform Search listing optimization can help Haidilao rank better in search results pages
and increase organic traffic to the Company's website, which will lead to to greater website traffic, more
engagement, and better visibility online. In addition to the Website, social networking sites are also a way
to be able to connect with consumers at multiple touchpoints and create lasting relationships with them by
posting consistently, and implementing activities and strategies at each level on the customer journey map.
Through this, Haidilao can enhance customer loyalty and beneficial word-of-mouth referrals. Last but not
least, Haidilao can increase sales and profits by attracting new consumers and retaining existing customers
through a combination of delicious products and tailored marketing tactics. Promotions for gift vouchers
or loyalty programs can be mentioned on social networks, websites and when customers experience in-
store.
Haidilao is a new and popular restaurant chain imported to Vietnam with a strong brand image and
dedicated customer care, so investing in digital marketing and collaborating with influencers can help
improve brand awareness and consumer engagement. Given the popularity of the brand and the great
demand for dining in Vietnam, Haidilao's ability to attract customers and revenue from these efforts will
be substantial, so the investment is about 100-120 million VND/month on digital marketing and
partnerships with influencers is an acceptable amount. These marketing campaigns, with the right strategy
and execution, can lead to higher sales, repeat business, and favorable word-of-mouth referrals.
6. Controls
Goals:
Increase the sales revenue by 15% through both online and offline in 3 months compared to last
year
Reduce bounce rate to 35%
Increase the interaction rate by 50%
Decrease CPC by 10%
Increase the brand awareness by 10%
Measuring performance
When finished measuring the effectiveness of the marketing activities, Haidilao will start analysing the
data to extract needed information to improve. For each metric, the team will analyse and evaluate if it has
reached target KPI or not, the plan is considered successful when all of the targets are acquired in the
bounded time. Else, if some of or all of the targets are not reached, it is critical to reflect on the plan and
judge each step and find out the specific problem. After analysing the data, the company should define the
strengths as well as the weakness in the campaign to improve in the next time. By doing so, the company
can gain experience and has a more comprehensive understanding of their customers.

in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. By investing in online platforms and expanding its online presence,
the company aims to achieve a balance between online and offline sales channels. The ultimate goal of
omni-channel marketing is to provide exceptional customer experiences that cater to the diverse
preferences and habits of today's consumers.

will encompass all aspects of the marketing mix, including strategy, objectives, tactics, and
implementation. Through the effective utilization of digital platforms and comprehensive marketing
strategies, Hadilao Vietnam aims to strengthen its position in the competitive market, enhance customer
