The name, inspired by Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of early coffee traders.

5. Original Inspiration European Coffee House Culture “coffee as art”
In 1983, a year after becoming a chairman at Starbucks, Howard traveled to Italy and became captivated with Italian coffee bars and the romance of the coffee experience. He had a vision to bring the Italian coffeehouse tradition back to the United States. A place for conversation and a sense of community. A third place between work and home. He left Starbucks for a short period of time to start his own Il Giornale coffeehouses and returned in August 1987 to purchase Starbucks with the help of local investors.

24. 5.
The Coffee Wars.

25. Coffee Wars
Starbucks declines in the 2000s, leading heavier competition with Dunkin' Donuts (DD) and McDonald's (McD) despite Schultz's "pain" in his company being compared with fast-food restaurants.
Economic recession + rising prices for food commodities (which were at an all-time high in 2008) caused Starbucks to increase their prices, which pushed consumers to DD or McD.

26. Coffee Wars
March Consumer Reports ranked Starbucks behind McDonald's Premium Roast. The magazine called Starbucks coffee "strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open"
Starbucks tests drive-through windows and introduces breakfast sandwiches to their menu.
McD added espresso and flavored coffee to its menu, which it marketed as "specialty coffee," and sold for 60 cents cheaper than Starbucks.
Starbucks began using television commercials in November of 2007.

27. Coffee Wars
McD created "UnsnobbyCoffee.com" and billboard advertisements in Seattle that said "Four bucks [for espresso] is dumb.”
Schultz was reinstated as CEO of Starbucks, and re-focuses on educational and artful coffee experience and customer service
Focus on EDUCATIONAL

Venti 20 US fl oz (590 ml), Italian for "twenty”
26 US fl oz (770 mL)
Trenta 30 US fl oz (890 ml) Italian for "thirty"

30. Marketing Controversy

Driving out small independent competitors
Intentionally operating at a loss
Saturating the market (clustering several locations in small geographic area)

Marketing Tactics.
In class we were talking about how it is hard establish a real strategy when current markets seem to be in a state on constant flux. So these are the tactics we analyzed. We feel that these tactics are on track because, learning from their mistakes, these initiatives are coffee-centered.

35. B+ Starbucks Evening (As of January 2012)
Customers want more options to relax in store in the evening
Selected locations only
Special menu 4pm-close. Includes beer, wine, appetizers
“Less hurried atmosphere perfect for winding down.”
Modeled after European coffeehouses that evolve with the time of day
Live music and poetry reading
Low risk because they are operate out of Normal starbucks stores. If they are unpopular, they just take the sign off the door that says “evening” and return it to normal
a Starbucks. B+
Appeals to young urban professionals, “weeknight hang”
True to original inspiration of European
Can maintain educational, artful atmosphere
November 2013 Los Angelus Airport: still serves small plates of European inspired foods.
Risk: Not about just coffee, Makes the starbucks brand more more complex

36. D Starbucks Drive Thru (As of September 2013) US only
Goal: 60% in 1,500 new US locations
Aimed at sustainability
“Store in a Box”: modular design
Less than 1000 sq. feet
Assembled off premises and delivered.
This store designed to look like “shipping containers” from local port
Howard Shultz used to complain that his coffee was being compared to MCDonald. He said that his company was a far cry from the McDonald’s pitstop experience. Soooo, what now Howe?
The only thing that saves this from an F is its appeal to building sustainability. The selling point of this is that we tell consumers: Look, you get the same coffee, but without the extra expenses that the weigh on our environment

37. B+ Starbucks Train Car (As November 2013) Zurich, Switzerland
Starbucks opened first store in Europe 11 years ago in Switzerland
(As November 2013)
Zurich, Switzerland
Seats 50 People
Specifically designed for the locale
+Maintains the ambiance of affluence
+Specifically designed for the locale, so it will feel local
Not a cozy coffee house, it’s a moving, bustling, train with time limits.
Is this an educational relaxed coffeehouse?

38. A- C+ B Single Servings (As of February 2011)
2010, SB serves premium single serves which accounted for 2/3rds of growth coffee sales in US.
Starbucks’ Via (instant coffee) generated $180 million.
SB VIA permeates the hospitality industry

This tactic is all about $$$
12% of American Adults own single-serving coffee (up significantly from 2012)
81% of American adults aware of single serving coffee (up significantly from 2012)
Very American
Appeals to hospitality industry
Hannah: Money!!!
Andrea: Does not help mission. Not an educational, artful experience.
Erika: B

39. A+++ (As of October 2013) Tweet a Coffee
Allows Starbucks to collect User info
Less Friction in Starbucks Sales
So basically, in the process of tweeting a coffee, you can potentially tell Starbucks who you are, where you live, who your friends are, what coffee you drink, and which Starbucks locations you visit or don’t visit.
As we learned this is virtually FREE PRIMARY INFORMATION
They are reaching million of people since they have the largest twitter following.
With give this an A+++
Because I hardly costs anything
And if its way too “faddy” who cares!!! Look at at all the primary Information you’re getting!

40. A- My Starbucks Rewards 2009, loyalty card program established
Works in Conjunction with the App that lets you scan to pay and win rewards
In July 2013, 10% of store sales were made using the app.
2009, loyalty card program established
2013, opened to reward Starbucks brand groceries and Teavana purchases
Builds loyalty. Let’s ask Arika.
We give this a A. Simply because we have learned to be cautious with all kinds of “cards.” from the mistakes and warnings of our mothers. Plus grocery store means one more step in the checking out process. We are lazy. That’s also why “levels” turns us off. Is it faddy.
But 10%!!! $$$$$

41. Consistent Fortune Magazine Rankings
Reason Cited:
1. Employees of the company were offered stock rewards for working 20 hours/week
2. "There is potential for anyone to move up the ladder."
You can’t go wrong when you are considered a great company to work for and support.

42. “The way ‘we’ see it…”
Our group has come to the conclusion that the Starbucks brand will thrive in future if:
Continued participation in the health and wellness markets: transparency with ingredients and processes.
Strong presence in and advocate for humanitarian and conservationist efforts. Make themselves a brand with a conscience worth supporting.
Protecting the unique identity of each Starbucks store, to avoid the “big chain” feel and to preserve the “artful and educational coffee ambiance ” at home in each locale.
Gain prestige via corporate culture rankings.
In class we were talking about how it is hard establish a real strategy when current markets seem to be in a state of constant flux. Here’s what we think…
#2 Especially since it will benefit Latin Americans coffee farmers. Be PRO-Latin American 76% of Hispanic-Americans drink coffee daily (up 13%)

43. Original Inspiration
In this #1 New York Times bestseller, the CEO of Starbucks recounts the story and leadership

45. “The road is paved with so many companies that have lost their way through thinking that they can be all things to all people. The strength of Starbucks brand and the success of our company is linked to focus and discipline. We’ll continue to be a coffee company. That’s who we are.” -Howard Shultz, CEO
We want to close with the words of this CEO
