Starbucks gets free advertising because people and news outlets talk about the tumblers online and on social media.
The tumblers make the brand seem more desirable and exclusive, which can lead to more people visiting the stores and buying other items.
The special tumblers help create a sense of community among collectors, encouraging customer engagement.
The initial sale of the $30 tumbler helps Starbucks through indirect marketing. The excitement around it can also encourage future purchases.
A downside is that Starbucks doesn't make any money when the tumblers are resold for high prices.
The high prices on the resale market can also make some customers frustrated if they feel Starbucks is just creating artificial scarcity to drive up prices.

Practical notes
- Logo/text contrast: ensure at least 4.5:1 contrast for small text (WCAG) — e.g., white on dark green/black, dark brown on cream.
- Lids & sleeves: use complementary or neutral colors (black, cream, or matching accent) for balance.
- Materials/finishes: matte soft-touch reads premium; metallic foil (gold/copper) signals limited-edition; glossy/gradient is more social-media friendly.
- If this is for official Starbucks-branded products, remember trademark/logo use requires permission.
