1 Coffee House Taste by the Cup™ Winning in the Marketplace MIT Enterprise Forum June 5, 2002 Nick Lazaris President and CEO

2 Keurig Premium Coffee Systems– Our Vision  Keurig will become … the world’s leading supplier of… portion-pack, single-cup… coffee brewing systems for… office, food service and home use.

3 Portion-Pack, Single-Cup Brewing = K-Cups™ Portion Pack = Fresh coffee Consistent taste Variety Fast brew cycle: 30 sec. Easy to use Convenient

4 Keurig Launched in 1998  Targeted the Office Coffee Market  Since then:  28,000 brewers shipped  240,000,000 K-Cups shipped – nearly 500,000/day  OCS profitable since 2000  #1 OCS single-cup system in the United States  5 roasters -6 coffee brands, 79 varieties of K-Cups

5 Challenges to Market Entry  A “system” product  Requires both the K-Cup and a special brewer  Premium pricing – of both brewer and K-Cup  Invoiced cost per cup to Office Manager tripled  Missionary selling required – new technology  Demonstration required to communicate value

6 Strategy 1 Initial Target Market Selection  The Office Coffee Market:  Large – 2+ million coffee brewers and 450 m cups per day  Image of office coffee was low :  Bad tasting - some people even leave the office for coffee  Inconvenient - preparation and clean up  Resentment - who gets stuck taking care of the coffee  Food service and home consumption were more difficult to penetrate as launch markets

7 Strategy 2 Recruit Branded Coffee Roaster Partners  Branded specialty coffee was rapidly growing  Roasters had little presence in the OCS market  Roaster Branded K-Cups were beneficial to Roasters:  The only form of packaging that provided taste control  Ability to increase sales $ per pound – from <$5 to $10 with K-Cups  Opened up the OCS market for branded specialty roasters  Also Brought Benefits to Keurig:  Piggyback roaster brands – stretched Keurig’s marketing $$  Roasters manufactured and shipped K-Cups – Keurig infrastructure requirements reduced  Roasters paid Keurig a royalty – high GM% business for Keurig

8 Strategy 3 Recruit Office Coffee Operator Partners  OCS distribution was fragmented with heavy price competition  Keurig system was beneficial to OCS distributors:  New technology allowed differentiation from OCS competitors  K-Cups tripled the per cup sales and profits  A new account offers additional allied product sales and profits  Also Brought Benefits to Keurig:  Piggyback the established sales and service network  Rapid expansion of our “sales force” on a national basis  Lowered Keurig’s infrastructure requirements: sales, service, inventory

9 Strategy 4 “Recruit” Office Employees to Sell Keurig  Keurig’s main obstacle is premium price  Office manager is the “gate keeper”  Keurig’s closing rate is over 50%:  “Push” marketing to office coffee operators  Then “Pull” through office managers with demand created by office workers  The free demonstration is the key – “coffee house atmosphere”  Employees get hooked (recruited) – and sell the system’s benefits to the office managers  Then, OCS distributor discusses K-Cup pricing versus the “full cost” of regular coffee systems

10 Three Lessons from the “Keurig” case  Understand the inherent strengths and weaknesses of your product/service  Select a point of market entry that maximizes your ability to create a defensible beachhead  Recruit strategic partners that can leverage your assets by providing them a profit opportunity

11 Marketing a premium priced product successfully…  Requires demonstrating “value”  If there is a product/service need for these benefits, customers will pay a premium.  Missionary selling needs to be rewarded.

12 A Final Comment… People = difference between success and failure  Entrepreneurship means growing from: Idea to product to sales to going concern  This takes people working together: Hard work + Smart Work + Team Work

13 Thank You!
