霍华德,听我说说奶盒子

by KG on 八.12, 2009, under starbucks

每天平均从我手里扔出去的1升装利乐包装超过10个。一个星巴克门店最少扔出去100-250个。装在垃圾袋中的奶盒子被一个叫“小蒋”的连同其它的垃圾运走。他们的最终去向我们不得而知。小蒋说他们那个村都是收垃圾的,那里生活着成百上千户的”小蒋“。

小蒋说过,星巴克最值钱的垃圾是用来装冰饮的塑料杯,但是那是曾经了。随着控制成本,本地化扩张,以前的进口杯子换成了国产,塑料材料品质也随之降低。现在小蒋最喜欢的也就是各种包装用的纸箱子了。

利乐包装是个好东西,环保,可再生,使得牛奶,酸奶这些乳制品能够更长时间的保存。曾经看过这个每天我们都见到的这个纸盒子是用纸纤维,铝等原料制成的。在欧洲和日本等国家都有分类回收的规定,日本的很多卫生纸都是用它来回收制成的。

星巴克在媒体中经常和CSR 这个字眼有联系。比如在西部资助贫困地区的教师的培训,投资改善水质量等等。但是也有关于浪费资源的负面报道。所以,投资本地建立回收可循环资源的设备或工厂,消化门店产生的垃圾,对于树立企业形象,影响消费者环保意识的增强都有很好的作用。比你一下拿出500万现金资助个什么公益组织来的更有诚意,也更加符合“企业社会责任(CSR)”的精神。每天每个星巴克在产生无数的不知去向的垃圾,这个恐怕不是个标榜社会责任的体现。

想象一下,某天有一家星巴克,从装修到每位客人使用的吸管,纸巾,卫生纸包括电,水都是依靠回收的纸盒,塑料杯,太阳能实现的,那得多牛B。对于其他的竞争对手来说星巴克更有这样的条件来实现。

星巴克Q3扭亏为盈

by KG on 七.25, 2009, under starbucks

根据星巴克最新发布的第三财政季度报告显示,截至6月28日的财季,星巴克实现利润1.515亿美元。因重组支出下降,星巴克开始扭亏为盈。同时,该公司加大压缩成本的力度,由计划中的5亿美元增加至5.5亿美元。这是其去年同期亏损后的首个业绩回暖,证明其一系列增加收入、压缩成本的调整措施显效。

为了应对惨淡的市场局面,星巴克全球掌门人霍华德·舒尔茨采取在美关闭600家店面裁员1000人。随后,速溶咖啡在美国市场推出,今年,星巴克在美国市场上更是推出免费冰淇淋并开始在西雅图试销啤酒和葡萄酒。同时,星巴克还要求美国的房东为其减租25%。

另 外,海外市场也是星巴克另一利润源泉,在美国市场收缩的同时,其海外市场加速扩张。去年底,星巴克高管高调来华,为中国公司提振信心。但星巴克在我国市场 所面临的挑战并不亚于在美国。尽管这里是充满希望的新兴市场,但是众多咖啡品牌的加入也加剧了中国市场上的竞争。英国Costa、日本真锅咖啡等对手都在 绞尽脑汁讨好中国消费者。

自星巴克2008年第三季度财报显示当季净亏损670万美元,该公司提交了自1992年上市以来第一份亏损的财报。此后,星巴克的业绩一直下挫。2008年全年星巴克的净利润仅为3.155亿美元,相比2007年下滑了53%。

Some facts about Tazo 关于泰舒茶

by KG on 五.11, 2008, under starbucks

Technorati 标签: ,,

 

今天在给新PTR介绍泰舒茶,突然发现对这个公司没有什么了解。上网得到点儿关于tazo公司的信息,

分享给大家。

Tazo茶叶公司是一家茶叶制造商和分销商,总部设在俄勒冈州的波特兰。

Tazo Tea Company is a tea manufacturer and distributor based in Portland, Oregon, known for their “New age” style marketing and product labeling. For example, every box of tea is labeled as “blessed by a certified tea shaman”.

tazo茶成立于1994年由史蒂夫史密斯(退休于2006年)和他的商业伙伴斯蒂芬李和Tom mesher 。李为stash茶叶公司的前任首席执行官,他与史密斯在1972年创立了stash。并且在93年卖给了 yamamotoyama这家日本公司。

Tazo Tea was founded in 1994 by Steve Smith (who retired from Tazo in 2006) along with his business partners Stephen Lee and Tom Mesher. Lee was the former CEO of the Stash Tea Company which he founded with Smith in 1972. Stash was sold in the fall of 1993 to Yamamotoyama, a Japanese t

ea company.

史密斯利用他在食品服务行业中的众多联系,使得他可以说服许多餐馆,食品商店,茶馆推行售卖这种新上市的tazo茶。在1998年史密斯接触星巴克的首席执行官霍华德舒尔茨寻求进一步的投资合作伙伴。
星巴克在1999年以八百一十万美元收购了Tazo。

Smith used his corporate connections within the food services industry to convince many restaurants, food stores, and tea houses to carry the new Tazo Teas. Smith approached Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz in 1998 seeking further investment partners.

The company was purchased by Starbucks in 1999 for $8.10 Million USD.

强调品牌价值–看看星巴克在经济萧条期中做什么(转)

by KG on 五.09, 2008, under starbucks

  当2001年美国经济萧条时期,以星巴克(Starbucks)为代表的新式高档消费品不但没有遭受重创,而是显示出自身特有的生命力。数据显示,那年星巴克的销量同比上升了20个百分点。而高档面包连锁店PaneraBread的销量增长也超过50个百分点,总销量达5亿美元之多。

  品牌的建设是与经济环境没有直接关系的。品牌是一个持续沟通的结果,是坚持的结果。面对目前中国的大环境,很多企业在建设品牌的过程中迟疑了,减少传播投入、趁机给产品加价、打折促销刺激消费……其实这些并不是有利的品牌解决之道。涨价是成本所致,但不如企业从品牌的角度给消费者一个充足的理由。消费者最讨厌企业趁着物价上涨进而抬高自己的价格,其实企业一直都没明白一个道理,企业不应是为了涨价而涨价,企业的涨价是需要得到消费者的认同。只有这样,你的品牌才会不断产生溢价,即使是经济复苏后,你也无需再降价,你卖的是品牌而不应该是产品或者原材料。

  在这方面很多奢侈品做得很好,他们之所以称为奢侈或许跟他们耐得住寂寞分不开吧。无论是在销售旺季还是淡季,不论是在经济鼎盛时期亦或是经济萧条时期,他们的价格只可能涨不可能降。五星级酒店亦是如此,他们不会因为住宿率,就降格以求。他们的总统套房宁可空着,也绝不会降价出让给普通消费者。因为他们明白,一旦降了价,品牌就会受到损伤,即使经济萧条也不能降价,因为当经济复苏时,你的价格也回不去了。价格是品牌的价值最重要的表现,一旦在消费者心理形成就不可轻易改变。改变要给足消费者理由,否则都将对品牌形成伤害。

  品牌价值是在任何环境下都需要坚持的。从积极面看,其实每一次的经济危机也都会是你的一次机遇。因为你的竞争对手与你一样在经历这经济不景气带来的烦恼,如果你的竞争对手在此时选择了退出策略,而你完全有可能借助此次时机将你的竞争对手打败,扩大你的市场份额。

  富有远见的CEO们面对经济问题,考虑的并不是“如何在萧条中生存”,而是“如何在萧条期过后有更大的发展”

When the 2001 U.S. economic recession period, to Starbucks (Starbucks) as the representative of the new high-grade consumer goods have not been hit, but show their own unique vitality. Data show that the Starbucks in the year-on-year sales increase of 20 percentage points. The upscale chain stores PaneraBread bread sales growth of more than 50 percent of the total sales volume as much as 500 million U.S. dollars.
 
   Brand-building and economic environment is not directly related. Brand is a continuous communication of results, is to uphold the results. Faced with China’s current macro-environment, many enterprises in brand building in the process of hesitation, to reduce transmission input, the opportunity to increase products, discount promotions to stimulate consumption…… In fact, these are not conducive to the brand solution. Cost is attributable to price increases, but as enterprises from the perspective of brands to consumers a good reason. Most enterprises taking advantage of consumers dislike price increases to raise their prices further, in fact, enterprises have been a reason not understand that, enterprises should not be to price increases and price hikes, the enterprise’s consumer price hikes are needed to be recognized. Only in this way, your brand will continue to produce premium, even after the economic recovery, you no longer need to price cuts, you are selling the brand instead of a product or raw materials.
 
   In this regard many luxury doing very well, they may not be the reason they called luxury endure loneliness inseparable from it. Whether in the season or the off-season, whether it is also in the economic heyday during the period of economic recession or that their prices up not only may drop. This is also true five-star hotel, they will not stay at the rate on Xianggeyiqiu. They prefer the presidential suite empty, and will not sell to the general consumer prices. Because they understand that once the lower price, brands will be damage, even if the economic recession can not be price cuts, because when the economy recovers, you have the price of the Hui Buqu. Price is the most important value of the brand’s performance, once in consumer psychology can not easily change the form. To give adequate reasons for consumers to change, or will have a brand hurt.
 
   Brand value in any environment need to adhere to. On the positive side, in fact every time the economic crisis will also be your first opportunity. Because of your competitors with you the same experience in this economic downturn brought about the trouble, if you choose the competitors at this time of the exit strategy, and you very likely will use this time to beat your competitors, you expand Market share.
 
   Visionary CEO who face economic problems, does not consider the “how to survive in the Depression,” but “how the recession after a period of greater development.”
