🌟 Creating a Sense of Community through Marketing 🌟 #7/30days30marketingstrategies In today's business landscape, marketing goes beyond just promoting products or services. It's about fostering a sense of community, social responsibility, andambiencee. One stellar example of this approach is Starbucks. ☕ Starbucks doesn't just sell coffee; it creates spaces where people feel welcomed and connected. From cosy seating arrangements to free Wi-Fi, every aspect of their ambience is designed to encourage community interaction. 🌍 Moreover, Starbucks is committed to social responsibility, sourcing ethically grown coffee beans and implementing sustainable practices. This commitment resonates with customers, who appreciate supporting a brand that cares about its impact on the world. 👥 Through initiatives like their "Starbucks Community Store" program, which reinvests in local communities, Starbucks builds a sense of belonging beyond just being a coffee shop. They actively engage with customers and communities, creating a shared sense of purpose and belonging. As marketers, let's take a cue from Starbucks and strive to create not just transactions, but meaningful connections and positive impacts within our communities. Together, we can build brands that stand for something bigger than just the products they sell. #MarketingStrategy #CommunityBuilding #SocialResponsibility 🚀

An excerpt from Pour Your Heart Into It, published in 1997 by Howard Schultz. "Community giving is a policy to which we've been committed since we began in business. We do it because it's right and because it makes Starbucks partners proud to work here. At Starbucks, we're human, so we don't always hit the bull's-eye. But we strive to live our values...In fiscal 1996 we gave away more than $1.5 million in cash and kind, equalizing about 4 percent of our net earnings. Since we don't exploit these actions for public relations, a lot of our customers don't even know about them." The last sentence is incredibly powerful. Corporate impact, sustainability, CSR, ESG - whatever it's called doesn't matter. What they stand for, however, are becoming fundamentals of every business - but ensure you're doing it for the right reason. The same year the book was published, the Starbucks Foundation was established and still successfully operates today. The results? Starbucks Q4 reports and full fiscal year results were published today. Global store count is 39,038. Net Revenues up 11% to record $9.4 Billion. These actions are not short term quarter to quarter strategies. They're long term initiatives that can have incredible ramifications for not only your business but the world at large.

It’s Friday, so let’s keep this short, shall we? Did you know “Come as you are” is the slogan for McDonald’s France, inspired by the song from Nirvana? McDonald’s uses it to prioritize people over products. What does it mean to you? To me, it signifies inclusivity and acceptance for all. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their differences. How do you promote belonging in your business or life? How crucial is belonging in your relationships? Let’s create spaces where everyone feels they belong. #Belonging #Inclusivity #Diversity #Acceptance #Community I understand the deep feelings of not belonging in an organisation, in a culture or country or in a relationship; if this is you today, let's talk now!

#DEIB includes #humancentereddesign I gotta give credit where it's due & express gratitude for the effort. 📆 Beginning July 22nd, Walmart will be sensory mindful every Saturday from 8AM-10AM through the end of August. 🧘♀️During this window, stores will implement #accommodations such as dimming the lights. The music will be turned off & anything with moving images on screens will be turned into a stationary picture. ⚡️Sensory overload is distressing. There are restaurants, retailers, & venues that we can't patron due to their environments. It can result in anxiety, meltdowns, or avoidance behaviors, making it difficult to engage in social experiences.⚡️ 💭Intentionally creating a sensory-friendly environment lends an equal opportunity to participate in shopping activities, fosters independence & breeds a sense of autonomy for those of us otherwise bound by our conditional social requirements. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gN6JCkxH https://lnkd.in/gN6JCkxH #lifeonthespectrum #autism #spectrum #apd
