Challenge
The primary challenge was to overcome the stagnation in pod velocities, indicating a lack of consumer interest or awareness regarding the new Starbucks Nespresso pods available at Target locations.
Execution
To address the challenge, Starbucks implemented a cutting-edge and highly interactive marketing campaign. The centerpiece of this strategy was the development of an innovative mobile application, known as APP>LESS. This app was designed to guarantee real human engagement with hyper-targeted coffee-loving shoppers around selected Target locations.
The APP>LESS platform leveraged advanced targeting algorithms to identify potential customers based on their proximity to specific Target stores and their demonstrated interest in coffee-related content. The app engaged users by allowing them to explore and experience the new coffee flavor variants in a personalized way, tailoring the presentation of the products based on the consumer's mood.
The interactive features of the app included mood-based quizzes, augmented reality experiences, and exclusive promotions accessible only through the mobile platform. This approach aimed to create a memorable and personalized connection between the brand and the consumer.
Results
The execution of the APP>LESS campaign yielded impressive results for Starbucks.
