Financing your dream with the pitch of the Carvel franchisee

Issue

Meet Julie, a working mother of two who enjoys treating her kids to the occasional ice cream. One day, while they were enjoying their treat at Carvel, she noticed a long line forming behind her. She didn’t want to hold the line, but her kids couldn’t decide on their favorite flavors, and she couldn’t see the bulletin board for her current job. French and embarrassed, she quickly made a decision, only to realize later that she didn’t like her choice.

It’s an all-too-common problem: long lines during peak hours, menu confusion, and a lack of information that leave customers feeling overwhelmed and embarrassed. Lack of convenience and a personalized experience lead to customers leaving Carvel with an unsatisfactory experience, resulting in the loss of repeat customers. Carvel needs a solution to retain customers and bring in new ones.

The problem is relevant because it is not only Julie who faces this problem. In today’s fast-paced world, customers don’t have the time or patience to wait in long lines and struggle with menu options. They want a quick and personalized solution to satisfy their cravings with minimal effort. If Carvel fails to provide this, it risks falling behind its competitors and losing market share.

The current solution to this problem is limited. Customers can place an order through a mobile app or the website, but the option is not user-friendly, and not everyone prefers ordering online. Although Carvel has a good reputation for its quality ice cream, the lack of convenience and customization overshadows the positive aspects of its brand.

The problem exists due to a lack of innovative and practical solutions in the market that facilitate customer needs and preferences. Carvel must conduct extensive market research to understand its customers’ needs, develop an innovative solution, and re-enter the market with a competitive advantage.
