Abstract

The Internet provides people with a variety of social platforms and channels to learn about various brands. At the same time, in order to meet the trend and people’s preferences, many brands have also innovated their marketing methods and strategies. With the increasing pressure of study and works, coffee has gradually become an indispensable refreshing drink in people’s life. The competition between different brands of coffee in the coffee market is becoming increasingly fierce. Starbucks, as a world-famous coffee brand, has a noticeable influence in the coffee market. Starbucks is a world-renowned coffee chain brand with a large number of customers and followers around the world. Since its establishment, Starbucks has achieved great success in marketing and has attracted many fans, and its brand awareness has also been significantly improved. However, how to improve the sales of coffee and how to play a leading role in the coffee market requires Starbucks to formulate and implement the most suitable marketing strategy.
