Hello Everyone
I would like to share a simple but very effective marketing idea that I have been using.
I sell property in Costa Rica. Costa Rica is known for alot of things but most people know it has some of the best coffee in the world. When ever I go out to meet a client I bring a small 2oz bag of Costa Rica coffee with my website and name of my project on the bag of
coffee. Now instead of giving out my business card to a client they receive a fresh bag of
coffee. The next time they make a cup of coffee who do you think comes to mind!
If anyone wants some Costa Rica coffee just send me an response. See you in paradise.

Are you doing this as part of a gift set? Are you tying your card to the bag somehow?

Hello
I'm putting a sticker with my website and phone number. If you want a bag of Costa Rica
coffee send me your address I will send you one.

Best Wishes

Coffee is for closers!

So how is the coffee promotion going for you? Just curious...

So interesting! Thanks for sharing your tip and I'm also curious how this is going for you. It’s hard to find ways to reach out to old customers and even harder to catch their attention when you do. Thought this was a pretty fun way to let the rolodex know you’re still rockin… http :// www . thejinglegenerator . com. I get AAA batteries from my realtor every year reminding me he’s alive and to change the smoke alarms

I think the coffee idea is great too! Any other good suggestions?

Well, I give out my card together with a small box of Jasmine Tea (contains 6 bags). I do not stick anything to the tea box, I know that after they have opened it they will throw it somewhere else. And so, I hand my card to my clients most of the time together with a gift.
