Answer:
Explanation:
Starbucks has existed for quite long in the United States. Its name is generally synonymous with coffee. Its success in foreign but less developed and emerging markets may be attributed to perception, owing to advertisements and popularization. Advertisements made to potential consumers glamourize the products, making potential purchasers more. Popularization, on the other hand may be attributed to “showbiz”- celebrity synonymity with Starbucks’ products. A movie may feature celebrities taking a Frappuccino from Starbucks. Upon arrival in a new market, a celebrity’s fan is most likely to take a Frappuccino since celebrity so and so took it in a certain movie and declared it good. Another reason for success may be that the bourgeoisie individuals of an emerging market may take to Starbucks products in order to enjoy what their counterparts in developed markets have been enjoying and glamorizing.
