Running Head: Starbucks Marketing Plan Proposal GB530 Marketing Management: Starbucks Marketing Plan Proposal GB530 Heather Conley March 19, 2013 Starbucks Marketing Plan Proposal Upon careful consideration, I have decided to create a marketing plan proposal as an addition to Starbucks’ already-existing line of products. In fact, the product I have chosen for my project is an extension to their already-existing line of drinks sold outside of their independent stores, with a designated target of retail stores (ex. Wal-Mart, Albertson’s, etc). This new product will be called “Starbucks Refreshers.” Refreshers will be a product similar to that of Mio, Kool-Aid, and Crystal Light.
