Starbuck’s is perceived as a high quality company. Although the prices seem to be unreasonable, the physical location of the stores seems to be a strong advantage of the company. Due to the prices and the experience, Starbucks is perceived to be a high quality company that focuses on a relaxing environment.
When ranking Starbucks in terms of their environmental involvement and social awareness, majority of participants felt that the company is very involved.
When ranking the competitors position regarding their environmental involvement and social awareness, most participants felt as though they weren’t as involved with social responsibility as much as Starbucks.
Competitive Research
With response to advertising, Starbuck’s and its main competitors share the same types of media. These include; television, radio and print advertisements. Being that all of these company’s advertise through the same medium, there aren’t unique techniques in which Starbuck’s utilizes to promote its’ company.
In addition to the main competitors of Starbucks, other competitors would include other socially oriented establishments where you can share a beverage and one’s company.

Brand Analysis
Branding Starbucks brand focuses on three
components: coffee, people and stores. Starbucks has direct control over the quality and processing of the beans used to assure the highest possible quality of the coffee. The store design, atmosphere and aroma all influence to the “ Starbucks experience”. A large reason for Starbucks’ success is the fact the company is dedicated to keeping customers satisfied. There is not one strategy in which the corporation main focus is not directed at satisfying consumers.
Packaging Analysis
The packaging of Starbucks comes in many different colors, styles and shapes. Most colors used for Starbucks packaging are dark, soothing earth tone colors such as; dark green, dark and light brown, dark orange, dark red and white. Green and brown symbolizes the natural products used , red and orange are used to catch the attention of the consumer and white is a classic color symbolizing the high quality of the brand.
Store Ambience
Starbucks store design was inspired by viewing each store as a billboard for the company. Each component was created to emphasize the mood and atmosphere of the store, to make sure everything indicated "best of class" and that it reflected the voice of the community and the neighborhood. Starbucks worked hard to make sure the store appliances, the merchandise displays, the colors, the paintings, banners, the music, and the aromas all came together to create an alluring, positive environment that displayed the love of coffee. Starbucks banned smoking and asked employees/ baristas to abstain from wearing perfumes or colognes. Prepared foods were to be covered at all times so customers would smell the aroma of coffee only. Colorful banners and creative posters were used to living up the look of Starbucks stores and maintain a fresh environment. Promoting seasons and holidays is a way to show the customers we care.
Logo Analysis
The company logo, modeled after a 15th century Norse woodcut, is a mixoparthenos, or "twin-tailed mermaid, or siren known in Greek mythology. However, there were some controversy with the logo that resulted in the logo change. The original logo, the Starbucks siren was topless and had a fully-visible double fish tail. This logo raised controversy because of the bare chest, but the logo continues to appear on some of the products like the Starbucks Anniversary Blend 1 lb. coffee bags. In the second version, her chest was covered by her flowing hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, her navel and chest are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails. They also removed the name of the company "Starbucks Coffee". The company’s intentions behind this, is to expand the brand beyond just coffee. They also removed the circle around the Siren and the logo now features just the Siren.
