Newspaper Rationale
Research* has shown that Starbucks core customers enjoy getting their news from national newspapers. Additionally, trends show that people prefer to get their news from more sources.
“Starbucks customers have a high level of interest in staying current in national and global affairs and often look to newspapers as their way to stay connected.”
Additionally we chose news papers with college educated readers with high income who would be more likely to purchase Starbucks coffee.

Total: $11,275,325• Number of spots are evenly spread
• Higher costs- Ratings, Rates • For USA,TBS, and ESPN we chose the summer months. Because of the summer programming there is high viewership. Furthermore, most sports
are in the midst of big games during these times. On FX we advertise during the times of year where other TV advertising is scarce or non
existent.
Out of Home Rationale
•Given data from Simmon’s research, it can be seen that both male and female Starbucks drinkers pay a good amount of attention to out of home advertising.
•Even though it can not be measured exactly who sees these Ads, we know that a large amount of people are exposed to it within the top 20 DMAs.

Internet Rationale

Starbucks currently has a very active presence on social media websites for they hold accounts on sites such as FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Tumblr, and FourSquare.
Currently, we plan on just advertising on Facebook with engagement ads and Perez Hilton to stay within budget constraints.
In future years we plan on advertising more with digital newspapers and magazines.
18
Product Seasonality
Heavy Advertising will be done during: The summer months promoting summer
time beverages such as frappuccinos, lemonades, and smoothies.
The fall months promoting beverages such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
The Christmas/Holiday season promoting their signature red holiday cups filled with beverages such as Christmas Blend Coffee, Gingerbread Latte, Spicy Eggnog Latte, Caramel Brulee Latte and Peppermint Mocha Latte as well as seasonal treats.

Flow Chart
27
Other Tactics Considered But Not Recommended
Advertise during prime time television Late in the evening consumers are no longer in the mind set to
purchase caffeinated beverages (morning purchase).
Advertise to coffee consumers in niche magazines Although in our target market, a Starbucks AD would feel out of
place among very specific niche product ADs.
Advertise on the front or back cover of magazines. Very expensive with a high price on CPM forcing Starbucks to
advertise less frequently in the magazines.
Advertise on the radio Many of the people we are trying to reach do not pay attention to
radio ads and use more satellite radio stations with minimal commercial interruptions.
28
Alternative Plans with Fluctuation in Budget
Increase in Budget: Internet: advertise on electronic forms of magazines and
newspapers. Use of product placement into television shows and movies. Advertise more on TV Advertise on the radio
Decrease in Budget: Advertise in the same magazines less frequently. Buy smaller sized ads in newspapers. Advertise on smaller billboards in the 20 DMAs.
29
Decision Dates
With flexible time schedule we can move around when we are planning on advertising.
Cancellation of advertising should be done as soon a possible . Magazines go to printing a month before publishing so
cancellation should follow accordingly.
The most flexible movement of advertising is in newspapers for they go to printing only a few hours before publishing.
