Starbucks' Treat Receipts Some Sweet Naming and Branding

Starbucks, which has been hit hard by the economy's downturn (a cause of some levity in the blogosphere), has decided to offer Treat Receipts to morning customers. These green receipts allow customers to come back to the store after 2 PM to get a $2 (half price) grande cold drink. What interests me is the fact that a deft, elegant marketing move like this allows Starbucks to offer value to customers without using that particular word; or the words sale, cheap, or half-price."

Examples and Exercises

I first heard that in a workshop taught by Mark Stelik (who is on the faculty of Carnegie Mellon where Leigh Ann is currently a grad student). M...

Backup and restore files, online, using Webroot Secure Backup

Recently the fad seems to be to develop backup software that enables you to store information online and then restore back to your system, if you experience issues. Backup tools such as SugarSync and Syncplicity have gone much further, enabling you to take your data, backup online and then synchronise this data across different computers. One consistent function is that you generally receive a free account that enables you to receive 2GB of online storage as part of the basic package. Webroot Se...
