View entire thread: Coffee Industry Marketing
Posted by keys00 on 2005-05-16 17:03:40 Post Subject: Coffee Industry Marketing
I am looking to obtain data on the expected future of the coffee industry, particularly as it pertains to coffee brewing equipment. For example, is the coffee industry expected to grow or shrink at a certain rate? Is there anyone that knows of resources that would provide information regarding this? I am trying to develop a marketing plan that will require this information, but lack a good source.
Any help is certainly appreciated.

Posted by espressogirl on 2008-10-16 13:05:01 Post Subject: Re: wise advice from coffee sages welcome
I've managed a coffee shop before and I think the best I advice I could give you is to get to know your customers very well.
While you may have great products, a great location and probably great coffee brewing equipment. the question boils down to whether what you are offering items that your customer really wants. Also, be very sensitive to their changing needs. Customers need novelty, and you must always be on your toes to tickle their fancy when it comes to your coffee offerings. Offer core items, but don't forget to give your customers something to look forward to. The goal, as all business owners know, is to keep customers coming back.
Good luck on your business and I am sure this site will be a goldmine of valuable resources about coffee.

View entire thread: Newbie question #1: Syrup vs. flavored bean
Posted by NewToTheBiz on 2004-12-04 00:53:49 Post Subject:
OK,
Here is the deal
Tell your wife that you are correct. The use of a high quality syrup like 1883 is better than the flavorings that are added to coffee beans for a couple of reasons:
1. Flavors to coffee beans are generally added to cheap/inferior coffee beans to hide their poor quality.
2. The chemicals used to flavor coffee beans can be harmful - the packages containing the "flavors" often come with warning labels.
3. Flavored coffee beans will eventaually ruin your coffee brewing equipment. The "flavors" adhere to your equipment and eventually damage the mechanical parts of your machine.
4.The coffee syrups like 1883 are all natural.
Well, there ya go
Good luck with the wife!
