Companies with smaller profit margins must create a larger following of loyal customers because they need to rely on the quantity of customers, not the markup, for their profits. Caffe Umbria will charge $2.00 per 16oz cup of coffee to keep it below the national average cost while not compromising quality of the product. Packaging needs to stay small for purchase in store and online for home brewers so that the customer still gets the same fresh taste at home as they do in the cafes and extra care should be taken to ensure the freshness of the coffee, safety of the packaging, and the shrink in the packaging process.

My target market for the surveys would be people aged between 18-3 5 because they are who have most time and also who are
And the customer will assume since the other coffee maker was on sale and such a low price that this coffee maker must be a good deal as well and chances are buy it.

With the Clubcard points there are rumours that say they would be looking into using their Clubcard data to send personalised recommendation in real time for their shoppers’ phone whilst there are shopping in store.

In case of internet café, all the various kind of research can be used in make a marketing decision whether there is any market for an internet café business. As primary research is the most basic research, therefore we can use that particular process to observe the area whether they have any chance for internet café business.
