CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter presents the introduction, statement of the problem,
significance of the study, scope and delimitation, hypothesis, and
definition of terms.
Introduction
Coffee shops are a trend these days, resulting in many start-up
entrepreneurs choosing this as their business. However, competition in
this business is increasing in the industry. Therefore, it is crucial for
coffee shop owners to understand how marketing strategies can affect
their number of sales and their business performance. Business
strategy, especially marketing strategy, is an important thing that must
be pursued and realized by every company that wants to increase its
revenue. Various traditional marketing strategies have been
implemented throughout the years, but with current trends in technology
and consumer behavior, new ways of persuading people have taken
their marketing strategies on to another level (Isma et al., 2020).

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
LOCAL LITERATURE
By authors isleta et.al. 2023 discussed that the Assessment of
Marketing Strategy among Local Coffee Shops of Kapeng Barako in
Lipa City, Batangas, Coffee Shop, for instance, it requires an
appropriate market mix of product, price, place, and promotion for it to
be effective in business, as quickly found by the researchers. Marketing
is essential as it will help you expand your business through interaction
as well as access the target clientele by applying the strategies of
marketing in a successful manner, especially in areas of the marketing
mix in which change is believed to be essential. When the researchers
coded the data under Product, People, Place, and Physical Evidence
by age profiles, it was found that the marketing of Kapeng Barako in
Lipa City was different from the marketing of Kapeng Barako in Lipa.
The products would be suitable for any age, although the emphasis
should be placed on the millennials and Gen Z population. While there
is people and price, most customers who attempt to go to these close-
by coffee shops are female for the sex. The price is grouped according
to the nature of the civil status. In order, the researchers concluded that
people who are single, married, or in a relationship are concerned about
the cost. The researchers saw that there is no variation in the marketing
mix as per the employment location of customers.
According to A Case Study of the Marketing Tools Coffee Shop
Owners Use to Sustain Businesses by Adeleke, A. (2020b) A company
owner who wants to sell a good or service may employ a variety of
pricing techniques. The ability of a business owner to combine
resources in order to control the optimal price for maximum profit and
sustain competitive advantage is known as pricing strategy. I
questioned the SBs about their pricing strategy throughout their first five
years of firm ownership. Table 5 contains the Evidentiary Statements for
Theme 5—Competitive Pricing plan. Each SB suggests a competitive
pricing plan to attract new clients and keep hold of current ones. The
SBs' answers support the assertion made in [67]. A business owner
needs to focus on price in order to expand their clientele and gain a
competitive edge in the coffee shop industry.
As Surachman, Sinaga, Bainus, and Sumadinata 2020 stated,
issues regarding strengthening competitiveness of local industries in
era of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), are incredibly
significant in strengthening integration of economy in ASEAN region.
The Philippines as one of the countries in ASEAN region, currently
continues to strive to increase economic growth in an effort to
strengthen economy of ASEAN region. Increased industrial
competitiveness is done through increasing competitiveness of local
Philippine leading industries which have become a trade priority sector
to respond to the MEA era, this is done with the consideration that
increasing competitiveness is in accordance with Philippines potential
with its superior products, both food and non-food and sectors or types
of commodities that are the priority of trade in the ASEAN region going
forward. In the perspective of industry and trade, the role and existence
of Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the main body tasked with
implementing Philippine participation in the AEC, states that the stable
economic performance in the country, along with various reforms that
have been implemented have putting Philippines in a good position to
benefit from economic integration. DTI is carrying out a variety of policy
packages taken by the government, specifically regarding the Philippine
Government's development policies in dealing with the ASEAN
Economic Community.
According to Mona and Audini 2023, stated, in the covid-19
global pandemic era, many countries apply restriction for many offline
activities to prevent virus spread. This affected many businesses and
forced them to go online. Every business has to adapt and adopt
technology within this pandemic situation. One of the businesses whose
product demand is increasing is a medical supplier company. But this
increase not only in the matter of demand, but also competitor and
product variation. Existing companies should run digital transformation
to secure and expand their position on the market. This paper explains
digital marketing communication strategies which were conducted by
medical supplier company in covid-19 pandemic era. The company
makes use of some platforms for the initial digital marketing strategy,
such as social media activation, company website, and e-commerce.
The result shows that digital marketing plays an important role in
product sales escalation. Companies can promote their business and
establish customer relationships through various digital channels.
However, e-commerce strategy seems more challenging for medical
supplier companies. This paper could help other businesses to
determine their suitable digital marketing communication strategy.
LOCAL STUDY
Based on Abi Adeleke (2019) Failure is an issue with small
businesses globally; some owners of small businesses lack the
knowledge of business administration and marketing strategies
necessary to help ensure success. The purpose of this multiple case
study was to explore what marketing strategies some coffee shop
owners use to sustain business operations during the first 5 years of
operation. The targeted population consisted of 5 coffee shop owners
in Arkansas who successfully implemented marketing strategies to
sustain business operations during the first 5 years of operation.
Goldsmith’s 8Ps of marketing mix was the conceptual framework used
in the study. Data were collected from semi structured interviews and a
review of publicly available data and company websites. Data were
analyzed using the principles of the content analysis method, which
included identifying codes and themes. Findings indicated owners of
successful coffee shops were actively engaged in the day-to-day
business operations and in the community; provided premium products;
used social media for marketing, promotion, and branding; used
competitive pricing; were precise about the location; provided
exceptional customer service and personalization, and had points of
marketing differentiation to promote their brand. The implications of this
study for positive social change include the potential to support the
welfare of the citizens of Arkansas, and owners of coffee shops across
the United States that could provide independent coffee shop owners
with marketing strategies necessary to sustain business operations,
contribute to new job creation and regional economic sustainability.
As explained by Yijia Huang (2017) For the small business such
as coffee shop, identify successful marketing strategies to improve their
customer satisfaction when developing effectiveness promotion
activities, developing competitive pricing strategies, improving customer
service quality and product quality control can be crucial for the start-up
business. This research aims that seeking appropriate marketing
strategies for Impresso Café Eatery Catering to develop customer
loyalty programs. In order to collect accurate data from the research, it
was looking at literature studies of customer loyalty programs from other
businesses. This research aims that seeking appropriate marketing
strategies for Impresso Café Eatery Catering to develop customer
loyalty programs. In order to collect accurate data from the research, it
was looking at literature studies of customer loyalty programs from other
businesses. Also, using questionnaire research as primary information
to collect customer personal feelings with the products quality, service
quality, promotion activities and price provided by Impresso Café Eatery
Catering. As questionnaire research, it has completed by random 50
customers in Impresso café. From the result of the questionnaire, there
are over 80 percent have high expectation on the service and product
quality, and they also claimed that appearance and attitude of staff when
they require assistance are significant elements that can influence their
purchase decisions. And the research result shows that the younger
customers tend to pay the proper price and do not quite care about the
service quality. This research clarifies the relationship between
customer loyalty and successful marketing strategies. Also, all of the
findings from this research will be used for help Impresso Café Eatery
Catering plan and control their future marketing strategies performance.
When Impreso café improve their customer service quality and develop
promotional activities, the questionnaire results from customers need to
be considered for enhancing their competitive advantage in the market.
Furthermore, this research provides recommendations for Impresso
café further development.
As per Costales 2023, stated there are several aspects that
influence the outcomes of buying decisions, some of these specifically
happen in an exact situation and occasion determined by social status,
preferences, disposition, and economic position of the customers or
consumers. Most likely Entrepreneurs consider consumer’s interest and
like leading them to create new brands that fit to their taste and
affordable to their budget. Recently, consumers are well informed and
influenced by social media in considering appearance, price, and
availability and location of the product. The globalization process
continues across the world, and also brought some problems with it.
The leading problem is our environmental issues that affect all living
beings negatively. These aforementioned environmental problems have
started to come to the agenda over the years and people have started
to talk about these negativities. Consumers now have concerns about
the future of the world and as a result of this mostly prefer
environmentally friendly products. In return to these attitudes of the
consumers, companies have started to form their marketing strategies
so as to appeal to increasing apprehension of this environment-
friendliness. These marketing strategies, named green marketing, have
caused companies to adopt green policies in their pricing, promotion,
product features and distribution activities. On the other hand, global
warming has reached everyone's mind and there are lots of campaigns
on the green environment and making us advocate to preserve Mother
Earth. The ideas have been relevant to plan creating ways in how to
promote a greener environment, thus a long-term planning must be
executed to recycle post-consumer products for the packaging of the
products. Consequently, green marketing must exhibit eco-friendly
goods and services. Besides, the opposite of this idea is disastrous to
the environment. Most likely air pollution, etc. will destroy surroundings,
habitat, and nature as a whole. Presently we are experiencing trying
times on the pandemic, world economics shut down and manufacturing
ceased for a time. However, new products come out like new face
masks, new brands of alcohol, soap, vitamins, etc. Manufacturing starts
to redesign their venue and sites to fit on health protocols, hence site
expansion and work schedule shifting happened to promote social
distancing to maintaining the operations.
The green consumer is generally defined as one who adopts
environmentally friendly behaviors and/or who purchases green
products over the standard alternatives. Green consumers are more
internally controlled as they believe that an individual consumer can be
effective in environmental protection. Thus, they feel that the job of
environmental protection should not be left to the government,
business, environmentalists and scientists only; they as consumers can
also play a part. They are also less dogmatic and more open-minded or
tolerant toward new products and ideas. Their open-mindedness helps
them to accept green products and behaviors.
As maintained by Ersoy Ayse Begum, Keceli Yavuz and Kwiatek
Piotr (2020) Retail coffee business has been growing fast in the Middle
East countries particularly during the last decade. High penetration
rates of mobile communication devices such as smart phones and high
usage of social media make the coffee retails in the region with Fee
WIFI access, very attractive off-line and on-line social venues. The
growth of internet in Arab countries is continuous and offers many e-
commerce opportunities for retail businesses to penetrate, grow and
achieve loyalty. This article aims to test how coffee retail businesses can
optimize social media usage in order to increase their customer base,
reach a higher level of customer satisfaction and hence increase the
rate of customer loyalty in the long run. The literature review focuses on
social media engagement and use of businesses, small businesses and
retailers in the world and in the middle east, coffee shop industry and
coffee shop service expectations of customers. The primary data
collection is targeted to test the constructs identified in the secondary
data for coffee retail business as well as social media engagement of
subjects who frequent coffee shops. The proposed conceptual model
suggests that social media engagement of coffee shops customers
through retailers’ social media and internet presence will lead to higher
satisfaction about the shop and consequently transform them into loyal
customers. Therefore, finally the model suggests that coffee shops
should continuously seek to optimize their social media enabled
marketing activities in order to achieve their business objectives.
As per Alvarez 2020, the importance of food service in the
industry plays a vital role in our society. This study would like to find out
the implications of the marketing strategies focusing on the marketing
variable mix, and the importance of other factors like training, benefits
of the manager, sales force and customer service in the realization of
the companies’ goals and objectives and the problems involved in the
operation of franchise food service establishments. This study chose
the five giant food services in the Province of Isabela. There are
enumerated indicators of marketing strategies as identified by the
managers during the survey and these were the basis of analysis as it
tries to evaluate the effectiveness of marketing strategies used by the
food service as perceived by the managers and customers and to find
out its impact to the present market status. To further evaluate the
hypotheses posed in the study, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and F-
test were used to test the differences of the five-food service industries.
Based on the results of the study, marketing strategies with respect to
products and services, prices, place of distribution and sales promotion
proved to be the main concern of the food service. Also, all food service
establishments observed the importance of training to improve sales
force and work efficiency, benefits, as driving forces to motivate the
employee and crew to do exemplary work and the significance of
achieving customer satisfaction in the overall performance of the food
service store.
Based on Yamagishi, Ocampo, et.al. 2021 stated, the current
literature has espoused the role of social media platforms in promoting
tourism destinations. Despite such advances, limited works are reported
on how social media foster the sustainability of tourist destinations. This
work builds upon the argument that sustainable tourism (ST) agenda
and initiatives can be integrated alongside the traditional competitive
mission of social media marketing as a communications strategy of
tourism stakeholders. With such an argument and the scarce literature
on the topic, this paper analyzes the impact of social media strategies
on marketing indicators contextualized within ST. In addressing this
objective, a fuzzy cognitive mapping technique is adopted to examine
the changes in marketing performance indicators given an initial set of
activation values of social media marketing strategies. A case study in
Kalanggaman Island (Philippines), an emerging tourist destination, is
carried out to demonstrate the evaluation process. Three policy
scenarios with interrelated social media marketing strategies are
examined: minimal effort, moving visuals, and collaborative strategies.
The minimal effort scenario increases counting metrics, comments, and
Web traffic, while the moving visuals scenario yields increases in reach,
counting metrics, comments, and Web traffic. Finally, the collaborative
strategies scenario enhances indicators on awareness, the share of
voice, counting metrics, comments, and lead. The findings generated
from the proposed framework provide policy- and decision-makers a
platform for analyzing possible social media policies in disseminating
the ST agenda.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
According to Rutz and Watson (2019) Endogeneity in empirical
marketing research is an increasingly discussed topic in academic
research. Mentions of endogeneity and related procedures to correct for
it have risen 5x across the field’s top journals in the past 20 years but
represent an overall small portion of extant research. Yet there is often
substantial difficulty in reconciling issues of endogeneity with many of
the substantive questions of interest to marketing strategy for both
theoretical and/or practical reasons. This paper provides an overview of
main causes of endogeneity, approaches to addressing it, and guidance
to marketing strategy researchers to balance these issues as the field
continues to move towards more methodological sophistication,
potentially at the expense of managerial tractability.
As Morgan, Whitler, Feng, And Chari (2019) stated, marketing
strategy is a construct that lies at the conceptual heart of the field of
strategic marketing and is central to the practice of marketing. It is also
the area within which many of the most pressing current challenges
identified by marketers and CMOs arise. We develop a new
conceptualization of the domain and sub-domains of marketing strategy
and use this lens to assess the current state of marketing strategy
research by examining the papers in the six most influential marketing
journals over the period 1999 through 2017. We uncover important
challenges to marketing strategy research—not least the increasingly
limited number and focus of studies, and the declining use of both theory
and primary research designs. However, we also uncover numerous
opportunities for developing important and highly relevant current
marketing strategy knowledge—the number and importance of
unanswered marketing strategy questions and opportunities to impact
practice has never been greater. To guide such research, we develop a
new research agenda that provides opportunities for researchers to
develop new theories, establish clear relevance, and contribute to
improving practice.
According to Rosário & Raimundo (2021) stated, e-commerce is
deemed as the sale and purchase of goods and services through the
internet in exchange for money and data transfer to complete the
transactions. E-commerce is at the forefront of transforming marketing
strategies, based on modern technologies, and facilitates product
information and improved decision-making. In this way, marketing
strategy increasingly requires substantial amounts of information to
better understand client needs, which raises the question of choosing
the right marketing strategy to better fit consumer expectations. This
literature review aims to shed light on both the recent growth of e-
commerce literature and its interplay with consumer marketing strategy.
Extant research has examined this change in human interaction due to
social network building, mostly through the themes of online marketing
and social media marketing, also comprehending issues such as cost
efficiency, information quality and trust development towards online
shopping. Nevertheless, existing research has not shown in full all the
research streams, how they interact with each other and its potential
knowledge development. Thus, a literature review on consumer
marketing strategy for e-commerce in the last decade is opportune. This
paper aims to identify research trends in the field through a Systematic
Bibliometric Literature Review (LRSB) of research on marketing
strategy for e-commerce. The review includes 66 articles published in
the Scopus® database, presenting up-to-date knowledge on the topic.
The LRSB results were synthesized across current research
subthemes. The following findings are presented: Amidst the current
competitive global business environment, companies tend to respond
with strategies for e-commerce and online businesses that resort to e-
commerce platforms and social networking to better understand
consumer needs, facilitate consumer marketing strategy and share
innovative information. The originality of the paper relies on its LRSB
method, together with extant review of articles that have not been
categorized so far.
According to Tom Gates (2024), many small business owners of
US coffee shops lack effective strategies to sustain their business
beyond the first 5 years. Small business owners are concerned that the
use of ineffective strategies can negatively impact the coffee shop’s
profitability and competitiveness. The purpose of the qualitative multiple
case study was to explore what type of skills, business acumen, and
strategies small business owners of coffee shops use to be successful
within the first 5 years of operation. The conceptual framework that
grounded this study was von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory. The
participants were five small business coffee shop owners in the eastern
region of the United States who successful sustained their business
within 5 years of operation. Data were collected from semi-structured
interviews using open-ended questions and review of public social
media and business websites. The data were analyzed using Yin’s
process methodology. Business sustainability strategies were explored
through semi-structured interviews, in which four themes emerged:
diversified business practices, community and good customer service,
quality leadership, and quality products and services. A key
recommendation is for small business owners of coffee shops to
implement strategies such as employee mentoring, offer growth
opportunities, and create a referral rewards program. The implications
of this study for positive social change include the potential for small
business owners of coffee shops to experience greater success and
contribute to the local economy by creating new job opportunities.
According to JH McAdooo (2020), the coffee industry has a
yearly economic impact of $225 billion on the US. Understanding the
decisions made by small, independent coffee shop operators in order to
gain a competitive edge is essential to understanding this business.
Customer loyalty, or the capacity to attract and retain consumers who
make repeat purchases, is a core value for coffee shop operators. The
issue was that after five years, almost 50% of small enterprises
collapsed. This qualitative multiple case research evaluated the
strategies used by profitable coffee shop owners to gain a competitive
edge. Spending time with specific business owners who fit the study
criteria was the most effective strategy to get at this insight.
FOREIGN STUDY
According to Ali & Anwar (2021) stated, the current study aimed
to examine pricing strategies as a determining factor in influencing
consumer behavior. The present research applied quantitative research
method via adapting questionnaire from academic sources. The sample
size for the current study is 162 which was gathered via random
sampling method. The results show that Penetration Pricing has a
significant positive influence on consumer behavior at 5% level. The
results show that Price Skimming has significant positive influence on
consumer behavior at 5% level. The results show that marketing sharing
sites have significant positive influence on consumer behavior at 5%
level. The results show that blogs have significant positive influence on
consumer behavior at 5% level. The results show that Competitive
Pricing has a significant positive influence on consumer behavior at the
5% level. Moreover, all beta values are higher than. 001. All models
have very high adjusted R2 indicating the ability of the models
explaining the variation of consumer behavior due to variation of
independent variables is very high. The F-value shows that the
explanatory variables are jointly statistically significant in the model and
the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics reveal that there is autocorrelation in
the models.
On the authority of Doleman. John P. (2017., pp. 86), small
businesses created marketing strategies and used mobile marketing to
make their brand awareness higher and increase their sales. Stated by
Smutkupt et al., n.d), the research problem was small business were
losing profits when they were not using mobile marketing strategies
because they lack learnings in developing mobile marketing strategies
to increase sales. This study focused on understanding how small
businesses develop these strategies and how they integrate them into
their marketing efforts. It also examines how these affect consumers
and sales. The findings of this study showed that small businesses used
mobile marketing to make the chances of customers making a purchase
and establishing brand awareness higher. Marketers used mobile
marketing in innovative ways to change the customer’s behavior so they
would engage with the small business. The findings have potential to
provide insight into planning and operating marketing communication
strategies that make consumers willing to engage with small businesses
in the use of mobile channels.
E-commerce platforms always implement effective marketing
strategies, such as popular affiliate programs, to increase user
engagement and drive traffic to their sites, which in turn increases their
revenue per sale (Erislan, 2024). Digital marketing plays a crucial role
in sales promotion, with social media being a common tool for both
marketers and online businesses.
In digital marketing, companies must implement diverse strategies to
attract potential consumers and spark interest in their products.
Creativity is key to capturing consumer attention through promotional
activities, ultimately guiding them toward making a purchase decision
(Kerin & Musadad, 2022). Consumers must make purchasing decisions
by evaluating different product options based on the information
available to them (Wardhana et al., 2020). The effectiveness of a
company's influence on consumer decisions is often enhanced by its
promotional efforts, including the strategic use of social media.
Based on multiple regression analysis and multiple correlations
by Ni Luh Putu Wahyutari, I. Gusti Putu Sutarma, Dewa Made Suria
Antara, the room sales are positively correlated with the marketing mix
carried out by the hotel. The regression equation states that the
additional costs for marketing mix activities, each unit of cost
simultaneously affects the increase in room sales. The strategy of each
marketing mix variable carried out by the hotel will affect the increase in
hotel room sales. The strategy implemented by the hotel. The results of
this study answer the dominant variables that affect room sales, is
product strategy. The product strategy that is carried out is through
product development in accordance with current business trends,
namely meeting packages, wedding trends, namely wedding packages
and Tailor-made products. Tailor made a product that is a packaging
product package where guests can request the type of room and or
other needs outside the packages offered.
As indicated on the determination test, it was found that the marketing
mix affected70.7% of the increase in sales of the hotel rooms, this
provided an opportunity for further researchers to conduct research at
the hotel because the remaining 29.3% were there is no effect on the
increase of the hotel room sales. It is estimated that the figure of 29.3%
is influenced by other factors from external companies that are not
examined, such as competitor analysis, travel warning, etc., because
the marketing mix includes the company’s internal strategy.
On the behalf of N.Z. Nizam and J.A. Jaafar, there is a crucial
relationship between attitude towards online advertising and purchase
decisions. Attitudes are fundamentally based on cognitions or beliefs
which means attitudes can be constructed based on the thoughts we
have about the information we received. Meaning, consumers who
believe in the information established about the product or services will
result in having favorable attitude and having the intentions to purchase.
When a person wants to buy a product or service, they will make a
choice based on the available information and also based on the belief
of the individual towards the product or service.
Relevant Theories
The Theory of Buyer Behavior. John A. Howard and Jagdish
N. Sheth, (New York: Wiley, 1969). Consumer behavior theory is a study
of how people make purchasing decisions, helping businesses and
marketers predict and manipulate these decisions. Key factors
influencing consumer behavior include psychological factors like
attitude, perceptions, and motivations, as well as personal
characteristics like age, gender, and location. Social influences include
friends, family, community, and education, which can influence a
person's purchasing habits. Strategies to proactively manipulate
behavior can help businesses capitalize on these behaviors and
maximize profits.
CRM or Customer Relationship Management. A crucial aspect
of modern business management was popularized in 1997 by Siebel,
Gartner, and IBM. It focuses on the relationship between an
organization and its customers, which can vary greatly depending on
the size and scope of the organization. Successful organizations use
three steps to build customer relationships: determining mutually
satisfying goals, establishing and maintaining customer rapport, and
producing positive feelings. Good CRM can influence both parties'
conditions.
Conceptual Framework
This framework represents the relationship of marketing
strategies and sales performance of coffee shops, emphasizing the
major factors that impact this interaction.
