you have got a lot to learn dude.

 

For most international brands you are actually paying more for higher quality. Large brands do have better buying power and thus can afford to spend more on quality. Smaller less known brands don't have buying power and thus less to spend on quality. If the two brands price the same then you are most likely getting better quality and value from the larger brand. why do you think smaller companies have trouble competing? I am not saying its always this way but in most cases it is. So for the case of Starbucks or McCafe you are actually getting more value for your money than most other brands if you really know how much is being spent on quality and on the coffee.

 

 

had a discussion with a client about this and we agreed that being i starbucks is a statement that you're cool/chic.you're paying more for the brand rather than for the coffee .

Starbucks may have a great line up of products but that's not their selling point. Starbucks hasn't innovated the coffee industry but just merely introduced a "lifestyle." People go to starbucks not mainly for their coffee but to be "seen" drinking and purchasing their coffee. In the Phils., it has been more of a status sysmbol and a lifestyle adoptation. As some people would've put it, Starbucks is a marketing firm.

i just wonder why its a common meeting place for dates? i mean i hate coffee.

[lomex32]

Perhaps coffee connotes a WHOLESOME yet MATURE or BUSINESS-LIKE thought ..... compared to joint that servers ALCOHOL which may connote getting drunk etc etc.....

 

If plain food naman .... this may just connote a FRIENDLY fare ...

I say nothing really, especially with so many equally good or even better coffee house now operating......

 

Except maybe.... the name...STARBUCKS.... two syllables only and easy to recall.....

 

the first to really do serious marketing and promotions....

 

An American Brand....

 

ummmm what else is there??

 

ambiance?? so does several other coffee house I can think off...

 

Price?? some equally or better coffee house are much more competitive.....

 

Service??? so does other coffee house... equally or better service...

 

Personnel?? young, smart, courteous, efficient..... same as a few others...

 

Maybe the Coffee??? ahhhh... to connoisseurs there are others who are better... depend really on individual taste..but to most... they don't know the difference between an arabica from a robusta or Jamaican from a French blend.

 

Cakes and pastry?? umm I can think of better chocolate cakes, or sandwitches or cookies...

 

sO what really the difference??

 

I don't really see any...... its easier to say and recall Starbucks from coffee beaneary, bo's, UCC seattles best or Nene's Coffee haws ( bacolod market??) hehehe...
