Starbucks Announces U.S. Debut of the Flat White

            Starbucks issued a press release on January 6 announcing the US debut of its newest addition to the core espresso offerings, the Flat White. While not a major news item for mainstream media outlets, this release has the potential to gain traction in the niche media market with Starbucks, coffee, food and lifestyle bloggers. Instead of a press release,  I would suggest  that a direct mailing or coupon offer distributed to Starbucks/coffee/food & beverage/lifestyle bloggers may have been a more effective strategy to get the word out. As far as changes to the press release itself, I wouldn’t suggest any major changes.
