  3. Why the Change? • Wants to grow into billion dollar business • Expand to fast food channels, convenience stores, and vending machines • Wants to create an emotional brand for consumers • New universal sign for good coffee • Create a global identity • Starbucks has saturated market • New product to gain market share in other venues

  4. Reaction to New Logo • Too generic • Looks more appropriate for a blood donation center • 68% of 2000 people thought Starbucks should “try again” • “Clean” and “modern” lines does not say coffee • Old logo had vintage feel, like from mom-and-pop • Too similar to corporate letterhead of: Lukoil Vodafone

  5. Rebranding Failures • PepsiCo redesigned Tropicana packaging • Looked too much like store brand • Original symbol evoked fresh taste • McDonald’s Arch Deluxe • “Burger with a grown up taste” • Image of sophistication • Consumers turned off by high price, high calorie count and confusing commercials

  6. Why It Doesn’t Work • Failure to clarify positioning • Consumers might become confused • Consumer’s emotional attachment to product • Lack of internal alignment • Change should be evident throughout organization • Lack of true change • Cannot just have new packaging • Must have goals and objectives to back up position

  7. Will Rebranding be Successful? • Launching the product in a fun way • Street team: “red capped invaders” took over Starbucks headquarters • Placed large red refrigerators in biggest markets, Portland and Seattle • Nothing marked on outside • Inside contained free cold lattes and mochas • Product hasn’t changed…only the image they are trying to convey
