The Case’s Background

• The Karma Coffee House was recently opened in downtown Boston. The owner, Jen Allen, wants to attract many of the people who work in major office complexes nearby. She is hoping that they will stop at Karma for coffee before they start work, after they leave work in the evening, or during breaks or for informal business meetings. Jen decides that the local businesspeople represent her target market.

• Karma is within a few blocks of large office buildings where thousands of people work, but it is not directly on their path to or from the metro station. Thus, those people will not be aware of the coffee house unless Jen uses promotion strategies. However, she cannot afford to spend a lot of money on promotion, so she needs to develop an inexpensive and effective promotion mix. The success or survival of Karma is highly dependent on the effectiveness of her promotion mix.

• Based on the above background, plan a promotion mix (effective, and inexpensive) for Jen and her Karma.
