I believe that good customer service is where it begins. You could have middle of the road coffee but if you make them feel important as they walk through the door they will come back ever time. Who doesn't want to feel important? Try a Birthday coffee... free coffee and treat on their birthday. You are acknowledging the customer on their day. Just a thought. A smile and handshake goes a long way making each person who walks through your door feel special.
Become the beverage authority! Not everyone will want coffee...But if you are selling coffee, sell the best and sell the most creative ways to serve it, tea and smoothies...Also, offer something to eat with it!...Not everyone is taking it "to go"!
Host interesting events like coffee meetup groups, political postcard writing events, toastmaster or networking groups,vendor related events, bring in musical performers or trivia events.
It starts with customer service. Greet them with a smile and acknowledgment.Make them feel welcomed and "AT Home" After that, learn names and how they drink their beverage. A great product is also important and never talk down the competition.
