This brings to Sola’s believe the red cup will not affect Starbucks sales. It is outrageous about people care about the design on cups they drink out
He inserts pictures of these brands such as Apple, Nike, Starbucks, and Facebook covering people’s mouths. This shows badly these companies are consuming people. They have no realistic view of the real world only what they see through these companies. Millennials have a special connection to these companies because their branding is apparent everywhere and is inevitable to not feel a connection towards these companies. What Lewis is conveying is that the connections we feel towards these companies are not mutual.
Starbucks Red Cup Controversy The famous Starbucks holiday cup is always decorated for the holiday season with little designs that go along with Christmas. This year a Starbuck’s controversy surfaced because this year Starbucks put up plain red cups and many people are going against this. This is because many people feel as if they are being discriminated from being religious or Christian. Starbucks usually puts festive snowflakes or of people sledding down hills to show the holiday season, but not this year.
The coffee shop isn’t used as a meeting place; old friends now connect through the internet rather than meet each other in person. One doesn’t go to a coffee shop on a weekend to go relax by a window to read the paper and slowly enjoy every sip of an expertly crafted cup of coffee. Now people wait in a long line at their local chain to get a paper cup filled with cheap coffee and fake sweetener, and rush off to their class or job, drinking so fast they burn their tongues in the process. Coffee and coffee shops have now become a routine rather than a delightful occasion. When I go into Dunkin Donuts in the morning I get the same basic greeting, same brown paper cup, and walk out feeling the same as I walked in.
The use of archetypical characters and situations provides readers realism to identify the characters and situations in the real and social world. In Linda Seger’s essay, “Creating the Myth,” Seger reveals that most successful films are based on universal stories. Her essay states the ten steps of hero stories to describe common characteristics of most succeeded heroic stories in the society. To learn more about archetypes, I analyzed characters of an animation, The Little Mermaid. In this animation, diverse characters appear to form an interesting story for children.
Starbucks is known for its green color and symbolic lady on the front. Green triggers the emotions of refreshing, balance, and happiness. Thinking about what coffee makes you feel like can also bring out these affections. The green lady is depicted to be a mermaid. Symbolically greek mythology portrays mermaids use techniques to lure in sailors (customers) and grant them with secret pleasures.

Starbucks also want to show people that they are tolerance and support differences. This is one of the examples from Starbucks action to support LGBT. Starbucks took its backing for the LGBT people group above and beyond, revealing a system went for helping casualties of hostile to gay scorn wrongdoings in conjunction with the Seattle Police Department.

The company I am analyzing in my white paper is Starbucks Coffee. I am looking at Starbucks’ marketing, including their use of marketing campaigns, social media, and product placement. When looking at Starbuck’s marketing campaigns, I have found that they have had a lot over the years of being a company. A marketing campaign is defined as the efforts of a company or a third-party marketing company to increase awareness for a particular product or service, or to increase consumer awareness of a business or organization. In my analysis I discuss how Starbucks has developed its logo and some of the campaigns that have been the most successful.
Political • Growing demand and supply shortage has increased world coffee prices. • Favorable advantage to accessing raw material through supplier relationships. • Fair-trade practices include its Coffee and Farmers Equity (C.A.F.E.) program among other fair trade policies and agreements. • Starbucks adheres to local, national and international government laws and policies and tightly control labour practices, avoiding scrutiny and negative imagery from being a large corporation. Economic • High industry sensitivity to the macroeconomic factors affecting disposable income, a main industry driver.
Even though they're a huge company, they still give customers individual attention, which no doubt goes a long way toward keeping them coming back for more” (p.1). Starbucks also uses their social
The strategy that Starbucks uses is broad differentiation where they seek to differentiate their product offerings from rivals’ with attributes that will appeal to a large variety of consumers. The key market characteristic for the strategy of differentiation to work is that buyers’ needs and preferences are very diverse and cannot be satisfied with a standardized product offering. This is an evident characteristic of the market because consumers all have different preferences on the way they like their coffee. Which is the reason why Starbucks offers many different product options like lattes, skinny lattes, coffee, iced drinks, blended drinks, etc. They also offer fruit cups, water, and bakery items to provide even more options for their consumers.
In her essay “”No Logo,” Naomi Klein dives into the world of corporate advertising, specifically branding. She claims that nowadays companies do not sell products, they sell names, emotions, and “the experience.” However, it was not only like this. According to Klein, throughout the 1900s, companies made the transition from product-centeredness to brand-centeredness. In order to prove her claim, she follows the paths that these companies, such as Nike and Starbucks, took during this transition period.
“Captain! There is something you should see,” Skinner said, his eyes wide. Curious, Captain Hook stepped out of his captain’s quarters and followed Skinner to the main deck. Near the edge of the ship was an infant. She stared up at him and smiled.
