Starbuck's Global Marketing Plan

Starbucks a Seattle based company is well known for its quality to coffee and aggressive global marketing. Starbucks has two strategies when expanding globally:presenting a high quality product no matter where you sell it and choosing the right people to work with. Starbucks also tries to stay sensitive to cultures and language. In Spain almost every menu is written in Spanish and Catalan. In china Starbucks goal is to build hip hangouts that tap into the new taste of china's emerging middle class: tweaks to furniture,store layout, artwork and food options have been made to apply more to the Chinese eye.

Starbucks largest oversea markets are in japan, England and china. Starbucks need to make more changes to appeal to these countries who prefer tea.

Starbucks Target market

Starbucks original target market for its delicious high quality coffee was young college students with slightly higher incomes than average incomes. Years later Starbucks has moved it focus from college to targeting every demographic. Starbucks locations are noticed in specific neighborhoods and classes. Starbucks targets every demographic in higher incomes: people with high incomes are more likely to spend 4 dollars and up for a cup of coffee.

Starbuck's Major Marketing Situation

The Starbucks chain just continues to grow and grow. Europeans will be happy to know that Aria foods: a company owned by 7,700 Danish and Swedish cooperative members will now manufacture, distribute and market Starbucks branded RTD beverages around Europe. This is a great deal for Starbucks who estimate the European market size at about 500 million. Starbucks is also calling for 200 international cafes and has not forgotten about the united states takeover calls for 100 net stores. Starbucks is looking toward china for the expansion of the company after it takes over the united states. All I can say is watch out Dun kin donuts because when Starbucks does it , they do it big.
