Starbucks Corporation

2008
There was a moment, once upon a time, when you heard the name
“Starbucks”, only one thing came to mind; a delicious cup of coffee. During the
course over the past few years however, Starbucks has tried to cash in on
everything they could get their hands on and forgot about their original origin,
and most importantly, what Starbucks used to stand for. Starbucks has used it’s
trademarked brand name for almost anything and everything, from movie
advertisements, to beverage fullfillments, as they equipped most of their stores
me
with an increasing variety of choices for either brunch or luncheon affairs, to
books and music. Starbucks got back in the game when, CEO Howard Schultz,
ori
.
started to reassure Starbucks customers, that the once popular coffee will return
and be stronger then ever. That one change would be a dramastic change
especially for their marketing structure, but will make the difference.
The Seattle based coffee company has been confronted with numerous
ma
sLi
qu
flaws and staggering stock prices at the beginning of the year, and in March
announced a series of big things to come, including numerous transitions. Some
of the big things to come with the transitions included, a new simmering
delicious coffee blend, improvements in their expresso making equipment, a
program club full of awards to thank customers, and even an interactive website
is in the works as well. Experts are skeptically envisioning, there is no doubt that
the coffee guru needs to step things up and get back to their coffee origins. They
also note that new innovations on a massive customer base can be also back fire
Tho
against the coffee titan. In all fairness to the company, I believe in my opinion,
that the aspect of doing so many things at once can be harmful if not executed
correctly, and if it is not done in the proper procedure, it could hurt the company
even more rather then trying to make it better. There is no question that over the
past few years Starbucks has become rather generic and there name has become
nothing special anymore. Starbucks really needs to step up their strategy in order
to bring back to life their brand name and quality to doubting consumers.
The query for Starbucks is, How do they do that, and get back to their
original origin? Well they are already on the right track by focusing on their

main product which would be coffee, but if the company doesn’t reinforce the
change procedures to the whole organization, the new marketing strategies might
plummet leaving confused customers in a daze of mocha. The unitization between
customers and Starbucks, is Starbucks most important aspect of their business. The
customer needs to feel happy and appreciated to purchase their products. They
must feel that sense of fullfillment when ordering and drinking a Starbucks
me
beverage, that in a nutshell is the most important piece of the puzzle that the
company needs to bring back to life. That could be easier said then done, in
January 2008, Howard Schultz reassumed CEO duties to a company that he
ori
.
largely shaped, and who is also Chairman of the Board, quickly announced a
reorganization at the Executive level, as well as job cuts in the company. He
conveyed that the number of changes in the company could be a concern, but
ma
sLi
qu
would iron itself out over a period of time.
The new brew of coffee that came out in April of this past year 2008 is
called, a Pike Placed Roast that the company will have fusioned at every U.S
based operating facility across the country. At the same time, another change in
the marketing strategy that was mentioned earlier in this paper, was a program
club for registered customers to refill their cards and also receive free shots of
flavored syrups. In the equipment aspect of the big transition, Starbucks introduces
the new expresso makers that are designed to deliver a better, faster, and more
consistant latte, then previous models used. These models will be moved into
Tho
thirty percent of the U.S based stores by the end of this year, and seventy-five
percent of their stores by the year 2010. Another new piece of equipment that is
in the works for Starbucks is the machine called the “Clover”. This machine is
set out to make individual cups of premium drip coffee, but they are taking their
time rolling out this new machine, and Starbucks predicts, that this machine will
not necessarily make it to every U.S based store. The new interactive website that
is in the works for Starbucks will consist of executive blogs and calls for
consumer feedback to the company.

The conversions that Starbucks is going through are some really rough
times at the moment. From their stock price falling tremendously and consumer
dealings with their business failing, Starbucks, over the past year, has somewhat
slowed down their pace of new store openings. They had even closed numerous
stores, all this in an attempt to go with the new change that the company is
trying to implement. Although, Starbucks has made some aspect of change by
pulling off the shelves their morning eats, which made people complain that it
me
gave Starbucks stores a highly displeased aroma, Starbucks has not talked about
more simplifying methods that the company is going to be engaged in. In my
opinion, the company should cut back more on the food offerings, as well as the
ori
.
little nick nacks that clutter up the store, such as books, music, coffee mugs, etc.,
and stay focused on what Starbucks is really supposed to be about, a nice
satisying fresh cup of brewed coffee.
ma
sLi
qu
Due to it’s costly prices, the current economic spill in today’s market,
really have customers holding on to their money, and it is taking it’s toll on
Starbucks customers like never before. While the economy is causing various
problems for everyone around the country, Starbucks should not use that as an
excuse for their mishaps which started way back before the economy started to
have a meltdown. In all reality, Starbucks needs to acknowledge it’s own role in
their weakening of their business. What’s even more surprising that just released
last week, CEO Howard Schultz stated, “The company expects to face an
Tho
extremely challenging fiscal 2009”. 1 Schultz continued, “We appear to be more
resilient than many other premium brands. As we head into the holiday season
and Calendar ‘09, consumers are looking for value and we’ve been pleased with
the steady progress of our Starbucks Rewards program and the enthusiastic
reception to the Starbucks Gold Card. I am optimistic we are well positioned to
weather this challenging economic environment.” 2

In conclusion, I believe that Starbucks has a lot of continuing challenges
ahead of them. They really need to see past what they have become and try to
get back some of the old goals that the company once longed for. Maybe these
old tactics will help the company become better in a more positive way, rather

than a negative way, like the way they have become recently.
