STARBUCKS
STARBUCKS
It introduces
price hikes that will produce maximum profit and returns on investment. I
agree with the use of Profit maximization but it is risky because the company
will increase its pricing which could drive the customers off but Starbucks
found a way on how they increase the target price without losing the
customers interest by the use of research and analysis.
I agree that Starbucks is considered a luxury beverage due to its price and
premium quality feel to it which is a good strategy. Due to their competitors
with cheaper prices like Dunkin donuts, Starbucks isolate themselves in to a
“luxury beverage” by increasing their prices which will create a huge price gap
in the market of beverage. By having a huge price gap it creates an illusion of
premium quality made coffee. The company will no longer need to compete
with cheaper chains thus a chance on increase of demand on premium coffee
in our country.
