An example of McDonald's effort to gain more trust of consumers is the Transparency Program launched by it called “Our food. Your Questions.” This was in response to increasing doubts about the quality of food especially chicken McNugget. McDonalds has hence always tried to show its trustworthy and retain if not gain further loyalty of its consumers.

Reasons for Success of McDonald’s Extensions
• Reduced Risk perceived by consumers due to strong positive brand connection
• The extensions were perceived as relevant and consistent by the consumers
• The advertising of the extensions focused on them rather than the parent brand.
• McCafe has outlets that are more sophisticated and have a different feel to the parent brand. The advertisement shown on the next slide emphasises this fact.
None of the ads have Ronald McDonald or focus on the parent brand overtly.
