Service Intangibility:
• “Signals” of service quality
• Making the service “tangible” in a way
Starbucks - “Third Place”
- Position themselves strongly
- Creating superior value during service encounters
- China: consumers rely more on word-of-mouth when purchasing services

Service Inseparability:
• Simultaneously produced and consumed
• Provider-customer interactions
Starbucks - employees to show professionalism - market the service successfully
Service Variability:• Who provides the services, When, Where and How they are provided
Starbucks - Comprehensive health benefits
- "First Impressions." - Retail management courses
•Satisfied employees translates into greater profits in the long run.

6) From the Japanese experience, what marketing recommendations would you make to Starbucks as it continues its Asian expansion?
![Page 38: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

- Currently, there is no Starbucks outlet in India
- Starbucks has planned to enter India’s market by December this year but has deferred its entry in July due to FDI regulations.
![Page 40: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Marketing Recommendations:
- India is a potential market since the population is large.
-Relevant market research to be done to understand the taste and preference of consumers.
- Indians’ preference of tea has been long standing, Starbucks can cater to them by blending tea and coffee.
- Expanding product width

- Create the homely atmosphere in Starbucks cafe
- Advertisement should also try to convey to the Indian consumers that Starbucks is the ideal place for family get together.
- Focus expansion in the more developed states of India
![Page 42: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Limitations- Difficulty in changing consumers’ mindset
- Competition from tea and various cold drinks in India
![Page 43: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Marketing Recommendations
From the Japanese experience, we learnt that Starbucks should not open too many stores at one go. Instead, it should first determine if the market is saturated.
-Mobile coffee service can be provided in Beijing which offers free sample of Starbucks coffee.
-Serves as a mean of advertising
-If outlets in Beijing or other parts of China experienced an increase in sales, Starbucks should then decide if expansion is viable.
![Page 45: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
From the Japanese experience, Starbucks also learnt that competitors often pose a major threat to them. To gain market shares, Starbucks may differentiate itself from its competitors in the following ways:
-Building a positive brand image by committing to social responsibility
-Collaboration with Chinese property developers
-Smoking segregation
![Page 46: Starbucks_ppt_slides[1] three levels of a product](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050614/547335d0b4af9f156c8b4797/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
