An opening statement
The company’s first introduction of the product and first contact with customers.
Starbucks is still considered to be one of the world’s best coffee brands. The first Starbucks was established in Seattle, Washington on March 31, 1971. The first store opened in 1971 at 2000 Western Avenue. It remained there until 1976, when it moved to another location. This was 1912 Pike Place.
Starbucks was founded by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker. The three met while studying at the University of San Francisco.
Starbuck was the name chosen by the three men after the main character from the book “Moby-Dick”, although they had originally considered “Cargo House” or “Pequod”.
Gordon Bowker recalled Terry Heckler’s opinion that words that begin with “St” are powerful. The founders then brainstormed words that began with St. When one of the founders took out an old map of the Cascade Range he saw a town called “Starbo”, and Bowker instantly recognized it.
“Moby-Dick did not have any direct involvement in the project. The name was simply a coincidental choice that suited the cafe. Bowker said. During Starbuck’s early stage the cafe only sold roasted beans. It had not started brewing coffee yet.
GrowthThis second stage is when sales begin to increase. Starbucks conducted one of the first successful campaigns in America in 2009. The campaign offered American customers free pastries if they purchased a beverage before 10:30 AM. It was a success, as about a million people took up the offer. t.
Starbucks had another successful campaign in 2013, which saw a huge blizzard strike the US. Starbucks used the opportunity to market one of their basic products, namely, Hot, Steamy Coffee. The conversation about “Nemo”, the storm that was named by the company, exploded on the main Facebook and twitter account. This campaign was very simple compared to other ads. It consisted of images of people in warm clothing holding cups of hot coffee.
The image that people were dressed warmly, drinking Starbuck’s coffee, in this cold, strong snowstorm, was a taunt to the audience, customers and consumers. Teenagers especially, were encouraged to visit Starbucks, regardless of whether the coffee being promoted was merely a regular one.
MaturityThe final stage of the growth cycle, where sales reach their highest level. Starbucks was a mature company in the 1990s and has remained so until today. Starbucks relied primarily on word-of mouth advertising for its message. Starbucks’ profit jumped 22 percent over the normal in 2015. This was due to a 23-million-transaction increase.
The quarter’s revenue grew 17. Profits grew by $4. The profit grew from $4. The same period last year saw a growth of $2 billion, but this doesn’t end there. It grows to $626. 7 million, which is 41 cents for each share, represents a 22% increase from the $512 figure. Last year, 6 million shares were worth 34 cents each.
The fourth stage of the process is called decline. This stage occurs when a product begins to lose its appeal and reaches a diffusion point. Starbucks reported their first ever decrease in 2008. The cause was a financial meltdown resulting from an increase of shares. Starbucks was very cautious to open new stores. They eventually closed down many of their branches and lost up to 28% profit.
Starbucks had to close 600 of its branches in order to make a profit. While the quality was unquestionable and their prices were higher, they still lost market share. Starbucks recovered after Howard D. Schultz took over as CEO, and shifted its focus back towards the customers.
