CoffeeVille case study:
CoffeeVille is a Melbourne based café owned by Rufus and Emma Belcastran who are brother and sister. The business began operation in 2009; prides itself on its quality products and service and believes there is a need to be active in their local community.
CoffeeVille provides a range of food and beverages tailored to the breakfast/lunch service times within the busy Melbourne inner-city district.
Coffee products used by CoffeeVille are sourced globally and the organisation also supports communities on a global scale by purchasing quality products which have been bought based on fair trade best practice.
CoffeeVille supports communities in other ways by:
• sourcing local products where possible
• sourcing and using organic ingredients and products wherever they are able to
• tailoring their products to the needs of their customers (such as including both vegetarian and gluten-free products and menu items).
CoffeeVille has developed all the necessary policies, procedures and financial reports to monitor and review all their business practices on a regular basis to ensure the growth of the business by establishing the appropriate market trends to suit their style of café.
Due to the growth of their business, they have employed you as the Marketing Manager for CoffeeVille. Rufus and Emma originally managed this area of the business but have reached a point where they must relinquish this area to someone with the skills and knowledge to develop the products and services they are passionate about and expand the market where possible.
Rufus and Emma have provided you with all the documentation needed (refer Appendices A-E) to gain a clear understanding of all the organisational policies, procedures and financial records. This information will assist you in completing the tasks which Rufus and Emma would like you to undertake as part of your role and have been outlined for you in the activities which follow this case study.
Activity 1: Marketing Opportunities Report
Activity overview: Identifying and investigating marketing opportunities
Rufus and Emma wish to expand on the products they have at CoffeeVille and have requested that you undertake some investigation into the market and identify and determine the possible marketing opportunities for the following two areas:
1. Increase visibility in the market place due to increased competitors in the immediate region.
2. Source a new viable product to be added to CoffeeVille.
Both of these opportunities will need to meet the vision of the business and the emphasis is on the use of best practice to suit the principles which are applied by CoffeeVille and their community focus.
Rufus and Emma have asked you to provide a concise Marketing Opportunities Report identifying the above items, which you will present to them once you have completed all your findings. They have indicated that based on your report, there may be a need to review the CoffeeVille Marketing Plan in the near future.
Activity instructions:
For this activity, you are required to complete a ‘Marketing Opportunities for CoffeeVille’ report, based on the two identified marketing opportunities which meet the request by Rufus and Emma.

Appendices
Appendix A: General Report format guidelines
When you write a report, you will want to make it easy to read and understand. Here are some guidelines to apply to any report you write.
• When writing the format, first write the body of the report and then fill in the details. Make sure you use a font which is clear to read and commonly used like Arial or Times New Roman. Also, make sure you use bold, italics and underline to make the headings and sub-headings stand out.
• Use lists: Whenever you can, help your reader by using lists. Give your lists visual emphasis by bullets.
• Use headings and subheadings: Headings and subheadings guide your reader through the organisation of the report. List them in the Table of Contents. Each section should have a clear topic statement to let the reader know what will be included in the section.
• Title Section: In a short report, this could be the first page bearing the title of the report, author name and date. In the case of long reports, include the Table of Contents, Terms of References and so on.
• Summary/Introduction: As the name suggests, this is the summary of the whole report. This is the section that most of the senior personnel, who do not have enough time to go through the whole report, will read through. Hence, give clear and precise information about the problem/aspect of business that the report is analysing.
• Main Body: This is the heart of the report. Arrange all the information in order of priority so that this section follows a logical sequence. Divide this section further into subsections. Lend greater order to the Main Body using sub-titles within each subsection. A paragraph about the relevance of the findings of the report can also be included in this section.
• Conclusion: Present logical conclusions for the topic investigated in the report. One can also suggest an option for the way forward. In case discussion has not been included in the Main Body, include it in the conclusion. Otherwise, keep this section small.
• Recommendations: Since you have worked on the report, no-one would have a better understanding of the topic than you. There may be a few solutions or actions that you think would be effective in dealing with the topic investigated in the report. Include those solutions in this section. List them in bulleted and numbered lists for easier comprehension.
• Appendix: Although very few people read the Appendix, the information in this section gives support to the arguments used in the report. It is the Appendix where the author includes all the sources and research information in detail.

This privacy policy sets out our policies on the management of personal information – that is, how we collect personal information, the purposes for which we use this information, and to whom this information is disclosed.
1. What is personal information?
Personal information is information or opinions that could identify you. Examples of personal information include your name, address, telephone number and email address, or documents that include such information, like a resume.
2. How does CoffeeVille collect and use your personal information?
CoffeeVille collects personal information when you send a job application to us, for example, or when you email us. These uses are discussed below.
3. What happens if you don’t provide personal information?
Generally, you have no obligation to provide any personal information to us. However, if you choose to withhold personal information, we are unlikely to be able to respond to your application or query.
4. To whom do we disclose personal information?
We engage third party service providers (including related companies of CoffeeVille which may be located outside Australia) to perform functions for CoffeeVille. Such functions include mailing, delivery of purchases, credit card payment authorisation, trend analysis, external audits, market research, promotions and the provision of statistical sales information to industry bodies.
For our service providers to perform these functions, in some circumstances it may be necessary for us to disclose your personal information to those suppliers. Where disclosures take place, we work with these third parties to ensure that all personal information we provide to them is kept secure, is only used to perform the task for which we have engaged them and is handled by them in accordance with the national privacy principles.
5. How do we protect personal information?
At all times, we take great care to ensure your personal information is protected from unauthorised access, use, disclosure or alteration. We endeavor to ensure that our employees are aware of, and comply with, their obligations in relation to the handling of personal information. Only properly authorised employees are permitted to see or use personal information held by CoffeeVille and, even then, only to the extent that is relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
Your personal information will not be sold to any other organisation for that organisation’s unrelated independent use. Further, we will not share your personal information with any organisations, other than those engaged by us to assist us in the provision of our products and services (as described above).

If you submit a job application to CoffeeVille, we will use the information provided by you to assess your application. In certain circumstances, CoffeeVille may disclose the information contained in your application to contracted service providers for purposes such as screening, aptitude testing, and medical testing and human resources management activities.
As part of the application process, in certain circumstances, you may be required to complete a pre-employment health questionnaire. You may also be asked to undergo a pre-employment medical assessment. In that case, you will be asked to give specific consent to CoffeeVille to disclose your questionnaire to its service providers for the purposes of arranging the medical assessment and for the relevant service providers to disclose the results of the assessment to CoffeeVille.
If you refuse to provide any of the information requested by CoffeeVille, or to consent to the disclosure of the results of your medical assessment to CoffeeVille, we may be unable to consider your application.
7. What about information you provide in satisfaction surveys?
We value input into customer service. If you submit information or feedback to CoffeeVille we will use the data exclusively to improve customer service. For example, we will not divulge information to third parties except for this purpose. We will not use customer service information to market services to you or parties identified in surveys. Customer information associated with survey and feedback data for verification purposes will be treated in accordance with all relevant legislation such as privacy legislation. Customer information will be securely stored to prevent unauthorised access.
8. Is the personal information we hold accurate?
