Anyone for a coffee?

Post by stanard »

So some blatant self promotion here - my fiance has started up her own online coffee business!

Bean Blenders Coffee

Fresh, premium coffee bean blends, roasted to order. It's real good stuff :D

Keen to get some feedback on the website too!

Yeah he opened that one too because he wanted to smell how good it was. Smell wise it made me think of cigarettes BUT I understand why that is... Alan on the otherhand wasn't able to talk due to having his face in the packaging. He loooooves it.

So on the weekend the annual 'Golden Bean Roaster' competition was held on the Sunshine Coast, and our Decaf blend took home a bronze medal!

It's by far the biggest competition of its type in Australia - and one of the biggest in the world - and to have gotten a result like this after being up and running for just over a month is incredible!

Thanks heaps :)

Neither of us have FB profiles and creating a business page from scratch has caused some odd issues with posting permissions (is a common problem from the troubleshooting I've done). Not having our own profiles has of course made it harder to spread the word - has just been through word of mouth with friends and work (and forums!) for now.

Gonna start a proper marketing push real soon, and have a few stalls lined up to start selling to the general public along with some offers from local businesses wanting to sell some for us. Building it up steadily.
