Abstract

Starbucks has recorded one of the biggest success stories of the coffee brand since its entrance into the China market. However, many customers feel that Starbucks did not pay much attention to its customer satisfaction, especially in China market. The purpose of this study was to explore possible strategies for Starbucks to improve its consumer satisfaction, using literature reviews on brand image, word of mouth, and customer satisfaction. The SWOT analysis method was used in this paper to gather data and analyze Starbucks’ existing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. According to the research analysis, this study found that Starbucks had several disadvantages in the following areas: high product price, average product quality, low customer satisfaction of individual unique products, insufficient understanding of customer feedback, poor service of individual stores, and insufficient advertising and marketing. This study concluded that Starbucks should focus on optimizing product and service quality to improve customer satisfaction, which partially met this study’s hypothesis that improving the Starbucks products and focusing on customer feedback can help Starbucks improve customer satisfaction.
