SWOT AnalysisSTRENGTHS WEAKNESS

• Italian heritage, family owned • 95% brand awareness in home market • High quality fresh coffee

• Overexposure in Italy and Western Europe leaves it vulnerable to downturn

• Emphasis on fresh coffee has taken attention away from instant coffee and away-from-home markets.

• US market: Largest global coffee consumer; Keurig partnership & 40% increase in coffee sales for 18-34 demographic in last 10 years.

• Emerging markets ask for large volumes

• Strong competition from large groups in Hot Beverage industry (e.g. Tata Group, Nespresso, Keurig)

• Fluctuations in commodity prices, however constantly offering high quality is crucial

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

Appendix - Q&A

• Grace: When and for how long did Lavazza’s interactive marketing campaign in NYC happen? • This campaign took place over Thanksgiving Weekend (USA), in

November 2014.

• Alice: How will this strategy differentiate Lavazza from its competitors in terms of environmental and corporate social responsibility?

• The concept is not about differentiating on this particular aspect of the company. Lavazza itself is very strong in CSR and has its own strategies to ensure that it only makes coffee sourced from fair trade and sustainable plantations. We are building on the idea of environmental responsibility while bring consumers themselves closer to the production of their coffee. By having them invest in one of Lavazza’s single-source plantations, we would be giving them the opportunity to follow the production cycle, understand who or what is involved in making their coffee, and drink the final product they are helping to create.

• Federica: What is your communication strategy for the new service? • Because we are primarily proposing a virtual platform, we would

suggest that Lavazza focus on using social media and a microsite within Lavazza.com. We also suggest using the sales of the Mono-Origin collection, in high-end restaurants and specialty shops, to further promote this new service. These are the 2 methods of communication most in line with our strategy.

• Federica (Comment): It is impossible to show a mapping of coffee companies, especially Italian coffee companies, without including Illy. • This is true, and was an omission. Our positioning focused on the

brands found in Euromonitor’s Top 10 Hot Drinks brands, in which Illy was not included, however due to the cultural and geographical relevance, Illy should have been included.
