Editor's Notes
- Blue Bottle’s main target market divides into two segments. The first segment is people age between 35-45 years old, well educated, possess a higher income level. This group of people are coffee lovers, not only drinking coffee in the café but also enjoy brewing coffee at home. The second segment is people age between 55-65, married couples who live by themselves and enjoy their retired life. This group of people are having their free time at home and caring about the quality of coffee bean. They tend to look for high quality roasting coffee bean and taking pleasure of brewing homemade coffee.
- the marketing strategy for Blue Bottle Coffee is to create awareness and encourage consumption among current consumers. The current consumers of Blue Bottle Coffee are affluent professional adults who enjoy a freshly brewed coffee. Blue Bottle needs to create an attractive website that would provide enough background information about its products. The existing website is very plain and does not encourage interaction between consumers and the company. In addition, the website should add a blog where consumers can post their comments and add more information to company’s background. Its history and mission is what makes the company unique.
