MAIN BODY
An analysis of Dark Woods Coffee's macro and micro market environment
PESTLE Analysis of Dark Wood's Coffee
Political factors: These factors determine the influence of government on industry. As
the new Brexit policy came into existence the value of coffee market in the UK is expected to
fall and won't get back to past level until 2025.
Economical factors: Factors that are influenced by the economy and the income of the
consumer. The greater difficulty of coffee trade and production establishes important sectorial
lineages in the economy. In respect to Dark Wood's Coffee, the economic development and
performance aspect the company is is largely dependent on commodity issue (Litvin, 2018).
Social factors: These factors focusses on upcoming trends and social environment in the
society. There are parts of the world where coffee growing culture will not be supported over the
coming year because those areas are now unsustainable due to climate changes. The company is
making sure that fair price is reaching to small farmers and rosters know how much of their
payment is reaching the small farmers.
Technological factors: These factors pertain to innovation of technology that affects the
workings of the company. In context to Dark Wood's Coffee, they have started to switch their
vehicles over to hybrid and electrical, installed 600 solar panels on the roof and also started
investing in new, larger capacity and more efficient roasters (Yang, 2018).

Legal factors: These factors include laws, rules and regulations that affects the
environment of business as well as country. The essence of the coffee industry is unsustainable.
The industry is sourcing cash crops from small farmers who are getting less paid than the cost of
growing it which is not good. At Dark Wood's Coffee, they are very aware of the fact and see it
as their responsibility to improve thing within the business as well as industry.
Environmental factors: This includes factors that influence by or determined by the
surrounding environment. In context to Dark Wood's Coffee, they are constantly driving towards
the path of sustainability as they are increasing the use of recycled plastic and are increasing the
quality and range of non-dairy alternatives.
SWOT Analysis of Dark Wood's Coffee:
Strengths: The company employ only 10 people to roast an exciting range of coffee from
Fortnum & Mason to local cafes. They have some nice successors winning multiple Great Taste
awards to two Golden Fork awards.
Weaknesses: The improving environmental standards making the company struggle to
keep up with the sophistication and increasing complexity of the speciality market. There is a
growing trend for transparency for green coffee sourcing and improved sustainability which is
complicated or impossible for the company to explain (Ndung’u, 2017).
Opportunities: The company is adopting wide approach towards the issue around
sustainability. They are developing a five-year strategy to address everything from how they treat
their staff as well as how they source green coffee. This will help the company to be more
transparent which will increase the reliability of the brand.
Threats: The company imports all the coffee form outside and the new policy is expected
to add new tariffs that will increase the cost. The coffee market in UK is expected to fall by
37.5%. the cost of importing roasted coffee beans would increase by 7% with no-deal Brexit.

There are also some of the market segment which are not having high potential but they are there

from different place with various varieties.
An explanation of the plan to target each segment through digital marketing
communication mediums
There are different communication mediums that are there in the market of digital marketing like
social media marketing, emails, templates, vouchers and many more. In many there is one of the
suitable medium for targetting each of the segment in effective manner is the email medium.
Email medium is the one which is able to provide better information in the formal way to any of
the business unit who are there for the business. There are many of the business unit who are
continue effective for their business (Micheaux and Bosio, 2019). Email plays an important role

Each and every people use the email which is necessary in this digital world. There are many of

mediums

there can provide different benefits that can help the Dark Wood Coffee's to get high business
due to creating awareness about the brand and its product. There is need to focus on some format
that is there used during the communication with others and with potential market segment.
There area some of the information which is there able to provide different things in mind
during the communication.
The subject line- There are numbers of mail in the inbox. There are many of the messages
which are there needed to be priorities, and to find quickly, in this, there is need to keep the
headline that is there as the subject line which can help to identify the mail having any purpose
or its spam. Without any subject line mail are generally considered as the spam mail (Thomas,
2020).
Proper grammar and punctuation- This is the one which provides the ability to get as a
formal mail that is import or not. In this, there is need to use the proper grammar that can attract
the reader to get better communication that can lead to productive result. This can help to get
better communication as friendly which can have more chance for getting acknowledge for that
mail. This can lead to take the mail seriously and can give attention towards the mail by the
client or business firm.
Length- There is need to focus on length of the mail that it should not be long and should
have the shortest length which have the correct information that contains better quality of idea or
information. It should be long enough that it can cover the topic in such a way that there should
not be any information that is not relevant to be provided.
