[问答题]Converting the Masses: Starbucks in China It sounds like Mission Impossible: Sell coffee to China’s tea drinkers. Starbucks’ solution is to select high-profile locations on the busiest streets, where stores are sure to seduce the see-and-be-seen set. As Starbucks launches an aggressive expansion in China, a coffee frontier steeped in nearly, 000 years of tea. The goal: to build hip hang-outs mat tap into a new taste for China’s emerging middle class. Starbucks China doesn’t plan any advertising, promotions, or other marketing strategies, aside from sponsoring an online coffee club and the occasional office-tower coffee tasting. Instead, the company is counting on selecting such high-visibility, high-traffic cafe locations that they market themselves. Its main advertising medium is the store itself. But in fast-changing Chinese cities, finding locations that will embody the fight lifestyle is more akin to gambling than science. The computerized mapping databases that the company uses to test a potential street comer in the United States would be little help in Chinese cities. Starbucks also faces an uphill battle. Local media reported that 70%of people they surveyed would rather not see the chain in Beijing’s Forbidden City. And even for middle-class Chinese, Starbucks is a barely affordable luxury. While retailers say a top marketing weapon in urban China is to charge more for public consumption. That’s because Chinese customers have different priorities than their American yuppie counterparts. Guys 40 years old are not coffee drinkers, but if the environment is good and the coffee is not bad, they’ll come back. The store layout, artwork and food options make Starbucks more friendly to Chinese eyes, but coffee remains the core offering and people don’t go there for the coffee. They go there to present themselves as modem Chinese in a public setting.
