ANALYSING THE EXHIBITS
EXHIBITS 1 AND 2: Net income has more than tripled and amount of stores worldwide
almost tripled from 1998 to 2002.
EXHIBITS 3,4 and 5: They show payroll structure and income volume per location in 2002
and product mix for North American company-operated stores.
EXHIBIT 6: It shows changing in Americans coffee drinking style into specialty coffee. It is very important
for Starbucks because companys main market is specialty coffee.
EXHIBIT 7: It shows positive customer snapshot scores for North America stores suggesting about
companys success. The only issue is the product quality that went down during 3rd quarter of 2002.
EXHIBIT 8: It shows that established customers and new customers are quite different in respect of
education, income and attitudes toward Starbucks. Customers who first visited Starbucks 5 years agohave higher degree of education and higher income level. New Starbucks customers do not see it as a
brand of high value.
EXHIBIT 9: Customers visiting Starbucks stores more than 4 times monthly, are more satisfied than
customers who visit Starbucks less frequently.
EXHIBIT 10: Customers put store cleanliness as the most important attribute of the Starbucks stores. Nextare convenience, treating as valuable customer, friendly staff, coffee taste and fast service and right
prices. Fast customer service is not the most important attribute for Starbucks customers .
EXHIBIT 11: It shows that 34% of responders perceive upon better services as a factor, 19% want to see
friendlier staff and only 10% want to have faster service. From 28% of responders indicating better prices
and incentives as a factor, 19% of them believe free cup after x number of visit as the most important
improvement.

SUMMARY OF THE CASE
Starbucks has enjoyed great success since it was
founded 30 years ago.
The company has being doing very well for last 11 yearswith 5% or more store sales increase, even with the rest
economy still reeling from the post-9/11 recession.
However recent research, conducted to Starbucks, have
showed some concerns regarding companys problem
meeting customers expectations.
To increase customer satisfaction level, Christine Day,
the Starbucks senior vice president of administration in
North America, suggested a plan to add additional 40
million annually for extra 20 hours of labor per everystore.
This move should help the company to accomplish lower
time of service to three minutes.

Annual Customer Value
Equation Used:
Annual Value equation is no of visits per month (VPM) X average ticket size (ATS)/visit *12
months
1. Unsatisfied Customer: 3.9VPM x $3.88 ATS x 12= $181.58 (Customer life= 1.1)
2. Satisfied Customer: 4.3 VPM x $4.06 ATS x 12= $209.50 (Customer Life= 4.4)
3. Highly Satisfied Customer: 7.2 VPM x $4.42 ATS x 12= $381.89 (Customer Life= 8.3)
[ Exibit-9]
Differences between Unsatisf ied-Satisf ied-H ighly Satisf ied
1. Unsatisfied vs. Satisfied: $209.50-181.50 = $28.00(15.38%)
2. Satisfied vs. Highly Satisfied: $381.89-$209.50 = $172.39(82.23%)
3. Highly Satisfied vs. Unsatisfied: $381.89-$181.58 = $200.31(110.32%)

I nvestment BreakEven Analysis:
1. Calculate increase in labor cost for each North America, Company Operated Stores:
$40mil/3496 = $11,441.65[Exhibit 2].
2. Calculate breakeven point for customers switching from satisfied to highly satisfied:
$11,441.65/$172.39 = 66.67 customers.
The investment of $40 mil requires a conversion of 67 customers from satisfied to highlysatisfied to break even on the additional investment in labor.

To find the amount of unique customers per store:
1. 15,400 X 52 weeks- 800800/3.85= 208,000( No. of Transaction )
[Exibit 3]
2. 3.9+4.3+7.2= 15.4 ; 15.4/3= 5.13 Average visits/month
[Exibit 9]
3. 5.13 X 12= 61.6Average visits per customer/year.
4. 208,000/61.6 = 3,376unique customers per store.
5. The above figure gives a perspective on the scope of capitalization the company could
achieve on the number of customers conversation.

Conclusion
The differences between both satisfied and unsatisfied customers and highly
satisfied customers were $172.39 (82.23%) and $200.31 (110.82%).
The data suggests that Starbucks strategy should focus on improving customer
service to increase the amount of highly-satisfied customers among its client.
67 conversions per store to have a store break-even point.
1126 unique customers per store conversion of 2% of customers from satisfied
to highly satisfied would allow Starbucks to break-even.
Based on the calculations mentioned in previous slides, we have arrived to a
conclusion that the company should invest $40million in investment of labour.
Also, the company should restructure the marketing strategy by forming a
centralized strategy group for using market research data to take decision.

ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL
Recently, customers perception about its brand image was gettingpoorer. It can communicate the people with posters in crowd streets.
Creating an internal strategic marketing team will help Starbucks to keep
customer focus and fast responding to the customers demands.
Also strategic team can help in understanding the required investment
of 40 million for the individual stores.
Starbucks should invest in new espresso machines. This investment will
help company to speed the service time.
Bring down the expansion plans in North America and compensate with
more labour in these areas.
Smart Cards must be distributed and made available to more customers.
Phone ordering facility for customers with smart cards. Focused Training: Update job knowledge to baristas. Providing solutions
of customer-handling in unplanned situations.
Reward coupons: Tracks customer purchases and will provide more
value to customers
Design of the Starbucks-counters could be modified so that morenumber of customers could be attended b a sin le barista.
