Excerpt from the Book
1. How different channels (both online & offline channels) engage consumers in various psychological perspectives (e.g., perception, personality, attitudes, motivation, and learning). The case of Starbucks
Starbucks is one of the most profitable brands that exhibits a fresh and innovative approach to its marketing and brand strategy. Its marketing strategy has been successful thanks to out-of-the-box campaigns and unrivaled commitment to maintaining consistent brand quality across several locations and touchpoints.
In its online marketing strategies, Starbucks engages its customers online through different ways (Wang, 2021). The company follows users back on Twitter and engages in conversations with them, from telling individuals they love their Starbucks-themed nail art or wishing students good luck on their finals. Similarly, Starbucks makes the coffee experience more social with its Tweet-A-Coffee program, where a user connects their gift cards to their account and can tweet it to anyone they want.
Secondly, Starbucks created an app that makes it convenient to pay on the go. However, it goes further by allowing the customer to build stars for free drinks. According to Lin et al. (2022), this is a win-win for customers and the company since it has been a huge success at attracting and acquiring customers.
