Summary of Case
• Starbucks, a leading specialty-coffee brand and coffee store
chain based in the US was founded in 1971 by Gerald
Baldwin, Gordon Bowker, and Ziev Siegl.
• In 2002, Starbucks had achieved a CAGR of 40% since its
IPO and owned approx 5000 stores
• Its competitors range from small-scale specialty coffee
chains to independent specialty coffee shops, and donut and
bagel chains.
• Further growth in untapped national and international
markets and unreached saturation levels.
Continued…
• Starbucks used company-operated stores in areas with high
traffic and high visibility.
• Additionally, Starbucks sold coffee products through retail
channels.
• Joint-venture partnerships to distribute certain products, e.g.
bottled Frappuccino through Pepsi-Cola.
• Starbucks was able to reach customers “where they work,
travel, shop, and dine”.
Continued…
• When a partner was hired, he/she had to undergo two types of
training i.e. hard skills and soft skills.
• They tracked service performance using mystery shopper program
called the “customer snapshot”.
• They followed aggressive growth strategy and in 2002 the two
biggest drivers of company growth were retail expansion and
product innovation.
• In 2002, company had gathered evidence that customer satisfaction
is on the decline, its brand image is showing some rough edges and
its customer base has also significantly changed.
What factors accounted for the extraordinary
success of Starbucks in early 1990s? What
was so compelling about the Starbucks value
proposition? What brand image did Starbucks
develop during this period?
Why Starbucks succeeded in
early years
• 3 components of experimental branding
– High quality coffee: it monitored process of roasting to
distribution around the world.
– Service: practicing customer intimacy regularly and
providing lively experience each time.
– Atmosphere: lounge experience with universal appeal.
• Other factors contributing to early success of
Starbucks
– Attractive market: unexploited by competitors
– Partner satisfaction: low turnover rate and high
satisfaction rate (80%-90%)
– Store location: high customer traffic and high visibility
areas.
Core Value Proposition
• Focus on intangibles associated with coffee drinking.
• Focus on overall experience of coffee at a Starbucks
store rather than only taste and quality.

Why have Starbucks customer
satisfaction score declined? Has the
company service declined or is it
simply measuring satisfaction the
wrong way?
Fall in Customer Satisfaction
Customer Snapshot: The imperfect tool
•Mystery shopper program: 3 times in a quarter.
•Criteria for ratings: service quality, product quality, cleanliness &
speed of service.
•Legendary services: that behaviour which made the experience
memorable for customer.
Outcomes based on research
•Primarily making money and building more stores created a rough
brand image.
•Less differentiation perceived between Starbucks and other.
•Comparatively less trendy.
•Unsatisfactory service of partners.
•Due to drink customisation, speed of service was reduced.
