Cult Brand

Ever meet someone who would never dream of buying any other brand of coffee besides Starbucks?

Known as a cult brand, these are products or services which have a very loyal following...one that borders on the fanatic.

Selling more of a lifestyle rather than just a product, other cult brands include Trader Joe’s, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Southwest Airlines, Trojan, and IKEA.
