It’s hard to believe that we are gearing up for the final push of 2011. Yikes. But, it’s that time so we are ready for it. As October comes to an end, we have been in full on holiday planning mode and it looks like you guys have as well! We have tons of cool events coming up for friends around Oklahoma City and Tulsa and are very excited to be a part of all of these things you have going on!
From tree decorating to office open houses, it looks like we are getting a full dose of fun! This post is for the Retailers out there. If you are planning a big sale for Black Friday, have you thought about having a coffee bar available for your shoppers? We think it is a great idea! Here are a few reasons to think Coffee when thinking Black Friday:
1. Black Friday Starts Early!
Nothing rings in the start of the shopping season like a full stomach and a 4:00a wake up call! That is what happens each year as retailers plan their big sales. People need their coffee so think about the opportunities you will have by offering your shoppers full service specialty coffee by Cafe Evoke Catering. You offering great coffee could make you their first stop of the shopping season!
2. Nothing Smells Better Than Coffee!
We hear it all the time: “It smells SOOO good in here!”. In fact, even people who don’t drink coffee rarely don’t love the aroma from the coffee bar. (While we are on the subject of those that do not drink coffee, we have several options for them - from apple cider to hot chocolate, we have them covered!) So, let’s fill your place with the smell of the holiday season!
3. It’s Unexpected!
Stores do so many things to get people in the door and, let’s face it, many of these things are the same things shoppers have seen for years. What better to impress people than full service specialty coffee? With coffee poured by our professional baristas, it will not only taste better than what they have had before, it will also be the thing that will make your store memorable for them (maybe even start their shopping traditions!). We have had the chance to be with one particular retailer for the past 3 years and several couples make it their first stop each year because they know the coffee will be ready!
4. It Tastes Good!
Simply put. Coffee from Evoke just tastes good! With offerings from pressed coffee to cafe mochas and vanilla lattes, your staff and shoppers will have nothing to complain about!
So, if you are interested in having a Specialty Coffee Bar available during your Black Friday sale, give us a call. We are down to 2 coffee bars for that morning so you better hurry!
Each of our coffee bars are booked as unlimited drink service. Yup, as many drinks from the bar as you and your guests can handle while we are there! We bring it all - from cups to flavorings. All we need from you is a place to set up the bar and plug in the gear. We will clean up when we are done, too, so no worries there!
Also, get creative! Maybe you want to do an end of the day coffee bar to help those get the final bits of their shopping done. Maybe you open late and want to add a dessert bar for people - either way, we can get you covered!
Good luck to you this shopping season! We hope to be sipping with you along the way.
