The Starbucks vs. Peets Story

Notas del editor

  1. Starbucks stock price dropped $40 -> $8, Starbucks closed 600 stores this year Peet’s stock price is solid $20-28 a share, Peet’s profits increased 25%, Peet’s opened 23 new stores
  2. Grinders / Brewers: early grinders used stones to mash the beans. Now grinders are so sophisticated they measure everything from grind density to temperature specifications. Recently, Starbucks unveiled an $11,000 coffee maker. It
  3. 3-6 % for marketing in other industries
  4. Post 911 – when other retailers were reeling from the recession, Starbucks was enjoying its 11th consecutive year of sales growth, making them think they were recession proof. They had few sales promotions and relied purely on customer loyalty. This is no longer the case. Starbucks has really upped the number and types of sales promotions they offer. They have coupons, both on-shelf and on-line, loyalty programs, where you can buy a starbucks card that gives you discounts the more you use it. More recently they started introducing price deals. On their ready to drink products. And finally one of the ore popular promotions was Starbucks’s “Summer Hot Relief tour” where A fleet of Starbucks Chill Patrol vehicles went to festivals, beaches and city streets offering samples refreshing blended drinks, including Frappuccinos and Tazo Ice Blended Tea.
  5. Peet’s Coffee and Tea has a different philosophy. They too offer on shelf coupons – catering to their established clientele, and just like Starbucks, they have loyalty programs. What’s unique to Peet’s is that they do free standing inserts, which is similar to a direct mail campaign. You can see from these two companies that Peet’s is not trying to sell to the masses. Peet’s is mostly interested in keeping it’s customer, so these programs are tailored to them.
