...Biancka Jimenez Dr. Philip Gonsher MKT 324 – 11/9/10 The Emergence of Starbuck’s Vivanno In 1971, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker opened the first Starbucks in Seattle Washington. The venture began as a single store selling high-quality coffee beans and coffee-making equipment. A few years later, Howard Schultz joined the company and introduced the concept of selling beverages along with selling coffee beans. Although this idea did not sit well with the original owners, today Starbucks Coffee is a well-known coffee shop with over 17,000 stores in 50 countries. Despite its original focus of selling coffee-beans, Starbucks has expanded its offerings to include pre-made coffee, tea, bakery goods and other grocery items. A Starbucks customer was historically a busy professional seeking a premium coffee-based concoction made to their exact specifications. A standard “Cup of Joe” was replaced with the 30 second double-caramel skim half-caf macchiato. Patrons used a jargon that soon became synonymous with the Starbucks brand. Starbucks was not only selling what was listed on their menu: They were selling an atmosphere of taking part in the Starbucks experience and for some people a certain type of lifestyle. Although this demographic still frequents Starbucks, the recent recession has pushed Starbucks to begin looking into expanding their customer base. Starbucks is trying to find a way to convince people to spend their hard earned money on a luxury item...

...McDonald’s Smoothies: Creative Brief |Client/Brand: |McDonald’s Australia |Date: |September 2, 2011 | 1. The Company McDonald’s Australia is a 3.2 b dollar business. It is not only known to people for its iconic golden arch, mouth-watering burgers, fries and nuggets, but also for its community service, strong partnership with local growers and suppliers and an array of corporate social activities. 2. Brand Issues McDonald’s is a recognized representation of fast food and often not deemed as a ‘healthy’ food option. Therefore, McDonald’s goal to stretch its product range to fresh fruit smoothie is a challenge. Further in Australia, there are established players, specifically targeting smoothies and fruit drink segment. Customers therefore, have a wider available choice already. When the scenario is like this, reasons why people would still buy McDonald’s smoothies are: • No competitor can provide mix benefits of a great range of meal options and cheerful in-store ambience along with smoothies that McDonald’s can. • With 808 restaurants in Australia, out of which roughly 30% operates 24/7, McDonald’s offers widest availability and greatest convenience than any of its competitors. • In 2009, McDonald’s introduced McCafe that offers finely brewed made to order coffee drinks that has been a great success. It means if smoothies can be properly positioned keeping consistency...

Consumer attitudes to smoothies 9 1. Market Value Smoothies are an increasingly popular way of consuming fruits. In 2006 the smoothie market in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) was worth an estimated €4 (£3) million and between 2002 and 2006, the market grew by 214% (AC Nielson in Amarach Consulting 2007). The smoothie market was estimated to be worth £282 (€354) million in the UK in 2008 (Mintel, 2008). 2. Market Size and Forecast Having seen exponential growth of 159% in volume sales between 2005 and 2007, the smoothies market then saw a dramatic reversal in fortunes with a 36% decline between 2007 and 2009 as consumer spend became increasingly squeezed. Mintel forecasts that this decline will slow in 2010 and the market will experience slow but steady growth thereafter, however not to the extent seen in the mid-2000s where Innocent almost single-handedly grew the category from scratch.

(for making unproven claims such as calling their products “superfoods” without backing it up by any medical science) 3. Recession/economy slowing down/ consumers spending less money in supermarkets Opportunities 1. They could improve their brand by making their own store (juice bar) 2. Being mostly owned by Coca Cola creates many opportunities to operate internationally 3. Government and the EU passing legislation to promote healthy food/drinks Weaknesses 1. High price 2.

...Introduction Orange Julius is a very well-known brand. It is a great place to stop at if you are looking for a fruity and refreshing treat or beverage. Not only can you stop and enjoy such beverages in the summer, but they are also delicious in the winter, fall, and spring seasons as well! Around here, when we think of Orange Julius, we think of the store inside of the mall. It is the same way in many other locations. Orange Julius is a branch that is found in remote areas such as malls and in other mall-type settings. In this project, we wanted to expand on this idea. We created Orange Julius vending machines. These machines will be placed in businesses and schools so that workers and students can enjoy a healthy and tasty smoothie at their convenience. Instead of having to run to the mall for this, they can simply find a machine in the hallways of where they spend their most time! Orange Julius has a funny and interesting history. Their story began back in the 1940’s when a man who just loved oranges. The only problem was that oranges gave him a stomach ache. He also had a friend who loved oranges. His friend wanted to find a way to enjoy oranges without the acid and stomach aches. He began blending oranges in yogurt and other ingredients to dull down the acid. This is how the orange Julius smoothie was created. They then began making them for the people within their neighborhood. They instantly became a huge hit. Shortly after the opening of their business, Dairy Queen,...

The smoothie and tanning industry are some of the fastest growing industries in history. Few shops offer both tanning and smoothies in one location. You can find such business endeavors on each coast, but not here in the Dallas Ft. Worth metroplex. Dallas has the perfect demographic makeup to support such an undertaking. The target market for this opportunity is actually comprised of a couple of different groups. Primarily the targets are 18-34 year olds and women. Generation X and Y consumers are demonstrating a huge concern with nutrition and fitness that separates them from the Baby Boomers and older generations. Smoothies have emerged as the best vehicle for providing heath-oriented consumers with a complete, convenient option for a tasty meal or refreshing snack that is also packed with nutrition. In addition, Sun Tan will also be a great place to get a tan. There are a couple of places currently that have a smoothie offering, but none will be even close to the fresh amazing smoothies and tanning that will be available at a one-stop-shop...
