Costa has a thumb rule for selecting cities and locations for the distributionof outlets.this is a prime factor in determining the success of a retail chain.However, Costa Coffee has adopted a top down approach, wherein they firstidentify the cities and then decide on precise locations within its limits.The selection of the cities was based on the following criteria.

1. Sizeable population of executives, students and families in SEC A &Costa category;

2. High disposable income with people looking for new vistas in leisureand lifestyle oriented concepts

3. High level or organized retail activity;4. Rapid socio- economic development;5. Level of commercial importance (Industrial cities, state capitals etc.)

PROMOTION AND ADVERTISEMENT:The promotional strategy in India has been mostly low key. Though it is acoffee house and the coffee house culture is building up as an upcomingtrend in India, a lot of advertising is unnecessary. This is so because costasbrand name is enough for them to muster the required target market. Mostof the awareness will be through the word of mouth of people amongst themasses. Hence the reputation is more that counts.In outlets costa coffee is promoting their products by using wall pictures,posters etc.they had made collaboration with other brands from promotional activities.

Red bulls health drinks were being served free to costas customers topromote products.When there is launch of any new products,costa serves free to customer as asample with other products.
