Black Hills Blend Jessi Drury
Direct Competitors • Starbucks • Dun’s Brothers
Target Market & Positioning • Target Market -Coffee drinkers ages 18- 60 that are in need of a quick drink or snack Positioning – their drinks are essentially the same at every location, the barista always looks great and they always have excellent service
Strategy Compared to Competitors • Black Hills Blends strategy is to offer coffee as well as other hot and cold beverages at several drive through locations for an affordable price.
Competitive Advantage • Customer Loyalty • Competitive Prices • Convenient Locations
Retail Mix • Merchandise Variety- they have a wide variety of coffee and non coffee beverages to chose from as well as scones, muffins and cookies • Merchandise Assortment- assortment is good they have sizes small through extra large (my favorite) • Pricing- they offer competitive prices • Location- several locations around Rapid City and the surrounding hills • Customer Service- EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE most of the time the barista knows my name
SWOT Analysis • Strengths- multiple locations, buy 12 get 1 FREE card, competitive prices, never have to leave your car • Weaknesses-only able to take cash and local checks, people not from Rapid City might not know what the kiosks are • Opportunities-they have an opportunity to set up a kiosk in any town in SD • Threats- Big name coffee companies such as Starbucks and Duns Bros
