Because more people are choosing to caffeinate and want to do it lavishly instead of with just plain coffee, we can predict that Rad Cafe will see a boom in business as word gets out about their over the top caffeinated drinks. Coffee as a market is on an upward trend from 2010 to 2015 and that is not expected to stop, especially as the market for coffee and the types of coffee available is continuously changing and trending. This growth can be put on the small scale of what places like Starbucks are going to continue to see just due to the continuing trend of coffee.

Until about 1990, coffee was traded in a managed market, where both consuming and producing countries agreed on pre-determined coffee supply levels through export quotas for the producing country. This managed market was regulated by the International Coffee Agreement (ICA). But in 1990, disagreements broke out among the countries and the ICA was broke down. This, along with market liberalization, created an increase in the global coffee production. The increase in coffee supply brought on a rise in inventories in consumer countries along with a poor demand. One of the consequences of this shift was a change in power to the roasting and retailing industries and created a decrease in the prices that were paid to producers. This whole scenario is known as the coffee crisis.
CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, originally had the idea that Starbucks would have the community/traditional feel in their stores, and still serve high-quality coffee (“Our Heritage” 1). Adding an Italian vibe to the coffee shops, keeping its traditional logo, which is based on a mythical creature, and advertising some of its products in a more “traditional” style accomplished the first goal. For an example, Starbucks recently created a commercial about their Refreshers, which was about cooling someone down in the summer time, with the scenery of Tuscany in the background. Serving high-quality coffee was obtained by ordering coffee beans from where they naturally grow and giving it a perfect roast to give to a customer. It was a marketing strategy that helped Starbucks grow and transform its commodity chain to support gathering more raw materials for a cheaper and more efficient way.
