    how it can extend its market in a country like Pakistan where there are more tea

    drinkers as compared to coffee drinkers.

    This case discusses the challenges Starbucks will face in Pakistan during the launch

    and after launching, case also discusses the important strategies Starbucks would take

    into consideration in order to capture the maximum market share of coffee market.

    Summary

    According to us it will be a wise decision and this brand would prove to be a Profitable

    one in Pakistan, as our trend is moving more towards coffee culture and Starbucks is

    the king of coffee.

    Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world. Starbucks is an American

    global coffee company and coffeehouse chain.

    Inauguration of Starbucks in Pakistan would excite everyone in the country as like other

    franchises did such as Gloria Jeans, Hardees, Espresso and Burger King.

    Planning to enter Pakistan

    Starbucks wants to enter Pakistani showcase by emulating their current business

    methodology to develop through geographic development, securing of new clients and

    holding existing clients.

    Remembering the forceful developing technique and a portion of the late openings of

    natural ways of life like Gloria Jeans, Hardees, burger lord and others, it is extremely

    obvious and foreseeable with these establishments propelling from time to time that

    Starbucks will probably establish firm framework in Pakistan. Give us a chance to talk

    about in detail that how they can begin to market in a not so Coffee subordinate

    environment of Pakistan and the following address that emerges is the reason they

    might decide to come to Pakistan when the current circumstances and investment

    development examples of an obliged nation are not flawless.

    Pakistan's developing populace or urban ranges and changing inclination of youthful

    people from utilization of tea towards Coffee empowered Coffee volume deals to

    expand by 7% in 2011. While tea remains the more prominent drink as contrasted with

    Coffee, the interest for Coffee is climbing because of a higher social worth set on

    Coffee. This might be seen in the extensive number of cafes in significant urban areas

    of Pakistan as contrasted with outlets only serving tea and a developing number of

    adolescent buyers practicing their using decisions energetic about Coffee.

    Pakistan's unpredictable economy, cash and security circumstance displays a testing

    circumstance for Starbucks. Likewise, Pakistan is still a tea-drinking populace andStarbucks might need to enhance and be inventive with their menu and Coffee offerings

    which ought to be customized for Pakistani shoppers.

    Evolution of Starbucks

    Starbucks started with a thought from three companions who imparted a solid ardor for

    gourmet Coffee. They opened their first store in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, and by the

    late 1970's, Starbucks picked up force inside Washington, and when Howard Schultz

    assumed control Starbucks as the new head advertiser in the 1980's, Starbucks' true

    triumph got going. The picture of Starbucks as a spot to standardize and de-pushbetween work and home was placed set up.

    Starbucks rebuild and rearranged to the degree that they figured out how to change the

    Coffee society. In light of the new considering spots serving superb quality Coffee to the

    normal open, Starbucks served as a model to countless rising in the business sector

    throughout the years, to comparable Coffee chains. At the point when Starbucks came

    in the business it was not basic to discover strength Coffee in different spots than the

    little forte Coffee retailers, however today it is just about inconceivable that joints and

    restaurants don't serve claim to fame Coffee, for example, cappuccino and spot latte as

    these Coffee drinks have turned into a coordinated a piece of the normal Coffee society.In this manner, it could be contended that Starbucks modified the American Coffee

    society and in the meantime it was capable set the business guidelines.

    Starbucks has saved this innovative vision by giving a different Coffee experience,

    which has taken the organization to astounding and record-breaking statures. Starbucks

    is currently working all the more around 19,209 stores (as of June 30, 2013) in 61

    nations over this planet, making Starbucks the heading roaster and retailer of forte

    Coffee on the planet.

    Starbucks thought of its BARISTAS or its representatives as accomplices; theyfurnished them with different representative profits as they acknowledged that

    accomplice fulfillment prompts client fulfillment. The turnover rate was 70% as

    contrasted with that of quick nourishment industry in general with 300% of turnover. The

    organization supported inside advancements, along these lines the senior executives

    Starbucks point is to secure as the chief purveyor of the finest Coffee on the planet

    while upholding our uncompromising standards while we develop.

    Starbucks facing challenges

    Starbucks is the biggest coffeehouse on the planet, on the other hand, they have been

    confronting inconvenience as of late. In July 2008, Starbucks revealed that they might

    be closing down 600 cafes in the United States. It is apparent that the worldwide

    budgetary emergency may have been answerable for this conclusion.

    Starbucks is confronting inconvenience in certain creating nations where the political,

    mechanical and wellbeing circumstances are unstable. Starbucks in India is confronting

    issues with the Indian outside venture advancement board over remote immediate

    regulation. With the money related emergencies behind it and the Indians administeringcongress party enthusiastic to change its lucrative retail segment, entering the nation in

    association with other built Indian nations bodes well. Starbucks hence confront

    hardened rivalry.

    Pakistans Coffee Industry Overview

    Tea consumption in Pakistan has been a long existing trend and is considered to be the

    first choice beverage amongst the locals. However, with the passage of time,

    globalization and economic development has seen a change in this trend from tea to

    coffee consumption. This has also led to the rise of many coffee outlets in the country

    most of which are international franchises.

    Research shows that the total coffee sales volume growth is approximately 7% (2013)

    in Pakistan and it is expected to grow in the upcoming months. This is mainly due to the

    fact that most of the countrys urban population is shifting their focus from tea

    consumption to coffee with the young generation playing a major role in this trend

    change. Even though tea still remains to be the highest consumed beverage in

    Pakistan, the overall demand for coffee is mainly attributed towards the upper social

    class who consider coffee consumption as an upscale status symbol as compared to

    tea.

    Whenever we hear the word coffee, the first thing that springs in our minds is Nescaf

    which was, and is still regarded as a long-established and the most well-known brand of

    coffee available in the country. Consumers can purchase Nescaf coffee from most

    retail stores; however, the market for coffee outlets is rising rapidly and is continuing to

    do so as compared to coffee consumption at homes.

    Working professionals in Pakistan who usually are always on the go especially those

    who are on the road for long hours are also being more and more inclined towards the

    consumption of coffee at the same time eliminating the frequent tea breaks with fewercoffee breaks. It is, however, important to acknowledge that this segment is still a

    minority, and with the low purchasing power of the general public, the majority is still

    more inclined towards tea and this is most likely to remain in the foreseeable future.

    Coffee shops have existed since many years in Pakistan. However, it was Karachis

    coffee shop Espresso that provided the kick-start to the now thriving coffee niche. For

    example, in Karachi there are coffee shops in almost all lanes of the posh Zamzama

    area. Cafes like Espresso, Butlers, Gloria Jeans, Dunkin Donuts are a few well

    recognized coffee houses that have launched and been successful in establishing a

    branded coffee niche.

    Coffee Revenue Trend

    Pakistan is a creating nation with a developing urban populace. Junior shoppers are

    currently changing from tea, energetic about Coffee which brought about an increment

    at a compound yearly development rate of 7.9% between 2004 and 2009. The moment

    Coffee division was at the front line of the Coffee showcase in Pakistan in 2009, with an

    offer of 97.3%. The total Coffee volume deals expanded by 7% in 2011. Nescafheaded deals in 2011 with a 47% offer in off-exchange volume terms.

    Retail Coffee volume deals expanded by four percent in 2010 in the nation, as stated by

    a study by Euromonitor. The moment Coffee portion headed the Coffee showcase in

    Pakistan with an offer of 97.3 percent.

    the best quality coffee. People associate Starbucks coffee with status, they get a feeling

    of high status when they visit the Starbucks outlet and buy a cup of coffee, and they feel

    Starbucks Pricing Strategy

    Starbucks is the leader of the coffee market. As an individual company, it controls

    several times more market share than any of its competitors. More than just a high-priced coffee shop, Starbucks offers a combination of quality, authority and relativevalue.

    Quality

    Starbucks sets its prices on a simple idea: high value at moderate cost. When people

    feel like they are getting a good deal for their money, they are more likely to pay a

    higher cost. Quality is key. Starbucks has to maintain strict quality controls in its coffee

    sourcing as well as in its customer service and peripheral products to justify its costs.

    Differentiation

    Starbucks also spends a lot of time and energy differentiating itself from the

    competition. You can see this in the design of its coffee shops, the music played there

    and the types of products it sells, such as coffee-brewing equipment and jazz CDs.

    Starbucks makes sure to keep current on the latest technology, often times being the

    first to introduce the newest advancements to its customers.

    The Value of Authority

    Starbucks' pricing strategy has a lot to do with how it positions itself as an authority on

    coffee, allowing the company to charge premium prices. Thus, when Starbucks

    introduces new products at higher prices, consumers are willing to pay extra without

    even having tried the products because they associate the Starbucks name with high

    quality.

    Relative Value

    Starbucks also uses relative pricing. It offers premium items, like its espresso drinks or

    its Starbucks brand whole-bean coffees sold in grocery stores, along side lower-cost

    items, like its drip coffees or its Seattles Best line. While the risk exists that more

  • 5/21/2018 Starbucks Report

    15/26

    15

    customers will choose the lower-priced items, by offering higher-priced items along side

    lower-cost alternatives, Starbucks is justifying the higher price through comparison

    In Pakistan-Pricing strategy

    Starbucks can take the advantage of becoming the Price Leaders which means thatthey will not be following their competitors price but establishing their own by keeping a

    higher price than the competitors since the beginning. This will give the brand the

    quality image which it maintains in the minds of public.

    Promotion strategy

    It is very rare for one to see a promotional advertisement for Starbucks Coffee in a

    magazine, newspaper, billboard, television commercial, or any other typical advertising

    campaign. Starbucks used the marketing strategy of word-of-mouth advertising;

    allowing the high quality of products and the legendary service promote the brand. Thistactic has played a huge part in making Starbucks Coffee Company a success.

    Company only uses digital medium to promote their products like:

    Twitter

    Face book

    YouTube

    My Starbucks Idea

    In Pakistan same promotional strategy should be implemented used to create hype

    before the initial launch and even after words. They should also create a MobileApplication.

    Value Added Services

    One of the major attractions of Starbucks outlets all over the world is not only the coffee

    itself but the overall Starbucks experience which has now become more or less of a

    USP for the international coffee chain. The stand out feature of Starbucks is the fact that

    it was amongst the first outlets to provide free Wi-Fi services in their cafs, great music

    and an overall pleasant ambience that is sure to appeal to a large number of coffee

    enthusiasts.

    Possible Marketing Strategies for Starbucks to Enter Pakistan

    Starbucks needs to come up with a unique positioning and an entry strategy that

    distinguishes it from the existing companies. In order to do so, the company needs to

    focus more on the local environment, culture and beverage consumption trends of the

    country. Besides this, Starbucks at the same time also needs to focus on its core

    competency which is the Starbucks experience which it wants to bring to the people of

    Pakistan. Following are some of the options that Starbucks can have for entering the

    Pakistani coffee market:

    1. Localization

    Product Innovation

    In order to establish the Starbucks brand in Pakistan, the company needs to focus more

    on the local culture which mainly revolves around tea consumption. In order to cater to

    this market, we will not only be focusing on coffee but at the same on tea as well which

    is also one of the major offerings of Starbucks all over the world. Besides this,

    Starbucks can also offer a variety of local sweets and desserts that may include some

    of the famous local delights that would complement the tea/coffee.

    Value Chain Innovation

    As recently we have visited many coffee outlets in Karachi and we got insights that the

    main clientele included executives who were mainly focused more on the product rather

    than the prices. Based on these insights, we will recommend Value Chain Innovation

    through strategic segmentation. In this we would be focusing more on corporate clients

    as our core customers. Keeping this notion into consideration, it is highly recommended

    that Starbucks should open its initial outlets in these strategic locations:

    I.I Chundrigar Road

    Defence

    North Nazimabad

    KDA

  • 5/21/2018 Starbucks Report

    17/26

    2. Joint Venture

    Joint Ventures represent a great way to pool capital and expertise and reduce the

    exposure of risk involved. It allows the interested company to line up itself with the

    Starbucks Corporation with high hopes of having a good relationship with the mentioned

    coffee company. Starbucks can join hands with the leading company in Pakistan like the

    MCR Group that recently initiated operations of Burger King in the country.

    3. Alliance

    Starbucks can form an alliance with the local as well as multi-national companies and

    in doing so will not only provide benefits such as special discounts, complimentary

    products etc but will also at the same time help Starbucks in promoting their brand

    among Pakistans corporate world.

    4. Franchising

    Franchising is a marketing system for creating an image in the minds of current and

    future customers. It is a method for distributing products and services that satisfy

    customer needs. Starbucks can opt for this strategy for entering into Pakistan market.

    Starbucks sees franchising as a way to make quick inroads in new market where its

    executives have little familiarity.

    Note:Success of any market entry strategy is driven partially by factors outside of ones

    control--but investment in these upfront steps should help you to mitigate the risk.

    Slogan for Starbucks

    Starbucks is a brand which is well known for its name STARBUCKSand their logo is

    their biggest strength which distinguishes them from their competitors and adds value,

    currently Starbucks does not have any slogan , due to its logo its recognized all over the

    world. This brand is so big and experienced that it doesnt need any slogan which can

    add more value or create awareness for customers, everyone is familiar with Starbucks.

    Coffee Culture in Pakistan

    Pakistan is a tea culture but with the time coffee culture is spreading in Pakistan. Coffee

    outlets are opening at different locations in Pakistan which has helped a lot in spreading

    the awareness of coffee within Pakistan.

    Coffee has become so popular now that its giving competition to tea market. Younger

    generation in Pakistan definitely prefers coffee over tea this is mainly because coffee

    does not let the energy level go, people feel refreshed after having coffee it sustains

    their energy level. Professionals in Pakistan who need to be on the go for long hours

    are fast quitting the frequent tea breaks with fewer coffee breaks.

    Pakistans market now has instant coffee mixtures available which are been bought by

    consumers frequently and its easy to make and making tea is considered more difficult

    nowadays so coffee culture has taken over.

    Starbucks to initiate operations in Pakistan: Would it be a wise

    decision or a foolish one?

    Even though Pakistan is a lucrative market with a lot of prospect and rapid trend

    changes on a regular basis, Starbucks needs to be careful while making the eventual

    decision of entering in the country. On one hand, Starbucks have the opportunities and

    strengths such as the growing market of coffee consumption in Pakistan and their

    strong brand name to enter and exploit this market.

    While on the other hand, they may also fall prey to a number of threats and weaknesses

    that are being faced by most of the international franchises currently operating in the

    country that include cultural differences, un-stable political and economic situations as

    well as stern competition from the already established local market.

    One important thing to be kept in mind is that Asia is traditionally considered as a Tea

    loving region but over the years, Starbucks have proven to be success story in countries

    like China, India and most recently Sri Lanka which are considered to be strong tea

    consuming nations but the trend is now rapidly changing in these countries as well. On

    that note along with the aforementioned entering strategies proposed, it is not only the

    right time but also a viable option for Starbucks to initiate their operations in Pakistan.
