Meal bundling is nothing new for McDonalds targeting multi-meals with multiple components however is. Given that McDonald’s leadership is grounded with the knowledge brand equity is not a constant continued success in growing customer counts, and sales are never taken for granted.  McDonalds does not believe in brand protectionism.  The consumer is dynamic and so is McDonalds.  

This fall McDonalds is infusing contemporized customer relevance with Tailgating Meal deals. This edifies several points of relevance with consumers.  First, it reinforces relevance with high school, college, and professional sports fans. Secondly, it deals a blow to start-up non-traditional food retailers targeting the same niche with brand familiarity and price competitiveness thus upsetting the price value equilibrium. Thirdly, they invite family and friends to share a meal; a McDonalds meal, garnering a personal endorsement from a trusted family member or friend.  That’s an indorsed brand invitation.
