Why Paul's Coffee Shop stands out
I like reading about the unique ways that coffee or tea establishments use to stand out.
In this article when asked what they do to unique Phil Martinez says "We have a special place by the door where our customers hang their personal coffee cups and just pick it up when they come in the door. Our Marine Corps wall of honor always gets a lot of attention, and many of the customers helped decorate by bringing in their own treasures and pictures to display.
We have original sand of Iwo Jima! John Wayne is also a favorite, and we have a John Wayne Omelet and a big portrait of him painted by John Wayne's wife."
Post a comment if you have any special ways to keep the hot beverage requests coming.

Coffee Company Success
I just read a blog post about a coffee company having some cool ideas to increase sales and spread the word about their products.
This is a good strategy by itself; but they do something else that is very innovative. They started purchasing additional domain names including the names of the charities followed by the word “coffee.” For example RedCrossCoffee.com, PetCoffee.com (Humane Society). The owner claims that this is one of his best ideas as it brings residual traffic to his business from type-ins. Customers tell their friends that they order their coffee beans at RedCrossCoffee.com and the power of word-of-mouth marketing sets in.
This is the kind of forward thinking we need to propell our tea and coffee businesses.
