Auch ein entsprechender Service wird angeboten: Außer einer Beratung und einem offenen Ohr für alle Fragen rund um das Kaffeevergnügen, bekommt der Kunde seinen Kaffee nicht einfach aus dem Regal, sondern persönlich über den Verkaufstisch gereicht. Die Grand Crus werden natürlich von Fachpersonal aufgesetzt und als Club-Mitglied genießt man z.B. die Vorteile einer Maschinenwartung und einem Nespresso Boutique Pick Up Service – Einkaufen ohne Wartezeit. Beim Verlassen des Geschäfts hängt eine Tasche aus dunklem, festen Karton am Handgelenk. Auch die Kapseln sind in einer festen Schachtel zu einer Kaffeestange verpackt. Selbst hier fühlt der Kreis der Premiumkaffeetrinker, dass sie nicht nur einen Espresso, sondern ein durch und durch hochwertiges, designtes Markenprodukt und ein Stück Lifestyle gekauft haben – Nespresso.

...NESPRESSO AND ITS STORES - SYNOPSIS RETAIL MARKETING HA – E125 Autumn 2012 Cpr n° 051092-3138 Cpr n° 270790-4162 Copenhagen Business School PURPOSE STATEMENT This synopsis will present some problems related to the brand Nespresso and more specifically concerning its store management. We will focus on issues associated on store layout, design and visual merchandising. Nowadays, Nespresso highlights its boutiques while they were not integrated in the initial business model of Nespresso. Indeed, they have only been created in 2002 in order to address customers’ needs. The brand decided to develop its boutique due to the growing demand of its customers for a face-to-face contact, which means a lack of direct relationship with them. However, this touchpoint is indispensable in the strategy of the brand nowadays. In France for example, the rate of opening of shops is about two or three a year. First we will present briefly the brand Nespresso and its products. Thus we will approach its positioning and channels of distribution in order to introduce the store concept and design of Nespresso. Finally we will deal with theories related to our problem statement: the store design and atmosphere in Nespresso boutiques and the SOR model. CASE PRESENTATION Nespresso is the leader on the premium portioned coffee market. The brand was created in 1986 by Nestlé Group which is located in Switzerland and has a turnover of almost two billion euros. Nespresso changed the idea of coffee as...

... The Nespresso story began over 27 years ago with a simple but revolutionary idea: enable anyone to create the perfect cup of espresso coffee just like skilled baristas, but in your little environment. The Nespresso concept has redefined and revolutionised the way millions of people enjoy their espresso coffee today. It has shaped the global coffee culture. Thanks to continuous innovations and highest quality, Nespresso has evolved from being the pioneer and trendsetter for portioned coffee into a worldwide reference. Let’s go back to the start of this amazing journey! In 1986, Nestlé Group founded the company Nespresso SA. It was inspired by Luiggi Bezzera’s original espresso coffee concept. It developed a revolutionary system of portioned, encapsulated coffee and dedicated machines that interact to deliver what was expected to be a perfect coffee. But only four initial coffee varieties included Capriccio, Cosi, Decaffeinato and Bolero (now known as Volluto) were offered. And the first two machines offered (the C100 and C1100) are designed to resemble mini espresso machines that people were used to seeing and enjoying at cafés and restaurants. In 1989, Nespresso first tested the Nespresso system in the Swiss household market with Turmix as machine partner. . In 1991, Nespresso SA takes a huge turning point deciding to produce their own machines exclusively with Eugster, which becomes their exclusive producer. Within the same year, Nespresso enters the markets...

The company owns now more than 15 000 coffee shops around the globe: it is settled in North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle-East and Asia. The diversity and depth of its offer (from smooth to extra roasted coffee, African, Arabian or Latin, and all the muffins, cookies and sandwiches) allow them to count on an international exposure that has last for many years. Still, their business tends to be flattening. And the number of competitors in their core-business market, even if the competition stays way back them, is growing constantly.
