  8. About StarbucksTarget Market • Starbucks says that they do not target a specific market • Products are consumed by people who want to take a break from the daily work routine and those who want a caffeine stimulant • Distinguished from traditional ‘coffee shop’ because of the taste of the coffee and the ‘hip’ or ‘fashionable’ store environment

  9. Four P’sAnalysis • Product • Price • Place (Location) • Promotion Panini

  10. Four P’s AnalysisProducts (in store) • Starbucks sells brewed coffees, espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, food items, teas, branded coffee drinks, a line of ice creams, and a line of compact discs through its retail stores • Also offers pastries, sodas, juices, games, seasonal novelty items, and coffee-related accessories and equipment

  11. Four P’s AnalysisProducts • Starbucks also engages in purchasing, roasting, and selling whole bean coffees worldwide to grocery stores and large hotels

  12. Four P’s AnalysisPrice • Prices range from $1.00-$4.20 for drinks • Surprisingly, this is lower than its rivals, although not by much • Starbucks regular coffee was 4% less expensive and its iced blended drinks were as much as 30% less expensive when compared with specialty competition • When compared to quick-service restaurants, however, Starbucks was more expensive. Dunkin’ Donuts’ 16-ounce latte is an average of 17% cheaper

  13. Four P’s AnalysisPrices on the Rise • Starbucks is planning to raise prices this year because of an increase in milk and green coffee bean prices • This could also be due to the fact that specialty competition has been charging more

  14. Four P’s AnalysisLocations • Operates in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. • They also operates in 34 countries outside the United States such as Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Singapore, Thailand, and the United Kingdom to name a few.

  15. Four P’s AnalysisMore on Locations • Starbucks retail stores are typically located in high-traffic, high-visibility locations. • Because the Company can vary the size and format, its stores are located in or near a variety of settings, including downtown and suburban retail centers, office buildings and university campuses. • The Company can also locate retail stores in select rural and off-highway locations to serve a broader array of customers outside major metropolitan markets and further expand brand awareness.

  16. Four P’s AnalysisMore on Locations • While the Company selectively locates stores in shopping malls, it focuses on locations that provide convenient access for pedestrians and drivers. • To provide a greater degree of access and convenience for non-pedestrian customers, the Company has increased focus on drive-thru retail stores. • At the end of fiscal 2004, the Company had approximately 700 Company-operated drive-thru locations

  17. Four P’s AnalysisPromotions • Starbucks has been able to use a standardized advertisement theme around the world in order to incorporate different cultures. • Currently they are promoting their new Tazo green tea Frappuccino Blended crème. (Inspired by Japanese tradition)

  18. S.W.O.T Analysis • Strengths • Weaknesses • Opportunities • Threats

  19. S.W.O.T AnalysisStrengths • Starbucks Corporation is a very profitable organization, earning $600 million and generating revenue of $5 billion in 2004. • Ad Week Magazine recognized the Company as one of the “Most Trusted Brands” in 2003. “The Starbucks logo is recognized by most, which also helps to retain customers that travel internationally, allowing them to get the same Starbucks coffee in the same Starbucks cup that they enjoy back home.”

It has about 8500 stores in over 30 countries. • Starbucks was one of the Fortune Top 100 Companies to Work For in 2005. The company is a respected employer that values its workforce. • They have strong ethical values and an ethical mission statement as follows, “Starbucks is committed to a role of environmental leadership in all facets of our business.”

  21. S.W.O.T AnalysisWeaknesses • Starbucks has a reputation for new product development and creativity. However, they are dependant on a main competitive advantage, the retail of coffee. • Overcrowding the Market: If Starbucks has two stores close to each other, they potentially take business away from each other. • They have a strong presence in the United States with more than three quarters of their cafes located in the home market. Many have said that they need to look for a portfolio of countries, in order to spread business risk.

  22. S.W.O.T AnalysisWeaknesses (continued) • They have been facing certain difficulties in some of its international operations. In 2003 Starbucks ended its joint venture in Shalom in Israel and closed six stores in Tel Aviv. • There was the infamous situation after September 11, when the Starbucks in Manhattan charged firefighters outrageous prices for water, $130 for three cases.
