What are some of the environmental factors that you will need to consider in marketing coffee in China?

Question by O4K1986: What are some of the environmental factors that you will need to consider in marketing coffee in China?
You are the marketing manager for a leading coffee chain. Your company has made the decision to expand internationally, specifically into China. What are some of the environmental factors that you will need to consider in marketing your coffee in China? Which of one of these factors would have the largest impact on the company’s marketing strategy? Why?

Best answer:

Answer by TopSavings.Net
Well, I would need to know the culture of China better. A major environmental factor I would believe to exist would be tea vs. coffee, a long standing cultural of the Chinese. If I understand correctly, green tea is highly consumed in China. I believe this would have a significant impact on breaking into the market.

It will be hard to convince an ancient tradition to change, but there can be a marketing ploy right there. An advertising campaign making tea look for the old and weak, and coffee for the new man of the modern era.

Why I Love Coffee Forever

There are days when I just feel blah and all I want to do is just sleep in, but I don’t since it makes my day blah-er. Since that weighs me down even more, I try to just stay in my room and watch trash TV. However, while doing so, I want to be awake at all times. More often than not, laying or just sitting in bed makes me drowsy. Why I want to stay awake in bed, you may ask. For starters, these ‘blah days’ almost always occur during daytime, and I am almost always not able to sleep at night whenever I sleep all day.

Anyways, I have noticed I have been beating around the bush, what I wanted to tell since the first paragraph is about how I love coffee. It’s always my silver lining during days that could do better. I drink my coffee, and my mood is instantly lifted. It’s my favorite pick-me-upper.

I have always loved coffee. As a child, whenever I eat rice, I always ask my nanny to make me a cup of black coffee with some sugar and pour it in my bowl of rice. Of course, I would also ask her not tell my mom about it, since my mom always calls me out on drinking coffee at such a tender age. I guess she didn’t like the extra energy I had everytime I had coffee.

Coffee has helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life, college. You know what comes along with college, all the homework, paperwork, thesis, stuff like that. Sleep was not my best friend during that time, coffee is. There were times when I wanted to just give in to my drowsiness and just put myself in deep slumber, not minding all the C’s I would get if I do so. But when I had a cup of joe in hand, the temptation was always ignored. Yay, coffee.

Yes, even up to this very day, I’m still in love with coffee. You can imagine me sipping from my cup in between typing, sure. I can’t imagine life without it. I swear by it. I love it. I will always and forever love coffee. How about you? Are you as in love with coffee as I am?
