First of all, many of you probably are familiar with some of the more common coffee flavors like French Vanilla, Irish Cream, Hazelnut, Amaretto, and of course lets not forget the traditional flavor coffee which so many are used to buying every day.  These flavors are typically available at any gas station, grocery store, coffee shop, basically any place coffee is sold.  They are usually cheaper in price too since they are so common and there is a much higher demand for them.  

There are many flavors though that are not so common and are not typically marketed on a high level because the demand is not as high as the others mentioned above.  So it would not make sense to sell these types of flavors in every possible coffee venue that you could.  Some of these wonderful flavors include Blueberry Cream, German Chocolate, Butterscotch, Chocolate Strawberry, Peppermint Patty, Raspberry Cream, and many more.  These flavors are typically not sold in places like gas stations because there is not as much demand for them.  They are more specialized flavors that are commonly sold in specialized coffee shops.

Now you may be craving a flavor that you’re not even sure exists.  Well chances are pretty good that you’re not the only one who was been thinking of that flavor and chances are pretty good that it does exist.  It may be a little more difficult to find, but you’ll probably be successful in finding it online or at a specialty coffee shop.  If it’s not available in the coffee grounds, then it can usually be made by the use of coffee flavoring.   

So now that you’re familiar with some of the more less common flavors and you know that the possibilities are endless when it comes to finding the flavor that you want, you may want to consider trying that flavor that you’ve been craving but weren’t sure where to get it.  You’ll be amazed at how much better it tastes than the regular old coffee and you may never go back.

You might have tried in the past to save money on coffee by purchasing it from a food supply house. This is rarely the best solution, because not only is your selection more limited, you also do not have any idea how fresh the coffee is. Although you might be fortunate and have a coffee specialty store in your area, you will still have no control over how fresh the coffee is when you purchase it. Additionally, you are still limited to whatever they have in stock.

However, if you make the decision to purchase coffee direct, you will greatly increase the selection from which you have to choose, since most coffee wholesalers provide a huge selection of coffee varieties and flavors. You will probably have the most success in finding a coffee wholesaler online, since there are many online coffee direct sites available. Although the prices might be higher than what you might find at a food supply house, it will be a better buy than what you will find at a local coffee specialty house.

There are a few things to keep in mind when you buy coffee direct. Generally, you will need to purchase coffee in bulk to make the most economical purchases. However, you need to do some careful planning when you are buying in bulk. You do not want to purchase too much coffee, since them it might get stale before you get a chance to use it.

If you do some planning and calculating, you should be able to figure out where the cut-off point is for your business, between saving money and ordering an appropriate amount of coffee. You might also be able to better utilize bulk discounts if you can join forces with other local coffee shops. This would enable you to buy bulk amounts of coffee, and then split it between you. This would allow you to save costs, while still having fresh coffee supplies.

You will want to shop carefully when looking for a wholesale coffee direct distributor. Take some time and explore their site, and make sure you read and understand their terms and conditions. It is important to understand delivery timetables, minimum order quantities, and any price discount schedules. You might also find that some distributors even offer free shipping amounts of bulk purchases. You also need to make sure that the coffee direct distributor carries the types of coffee that you desire. Make sure to compare prices between distributors, to make sure you are getting the best value possible.

Jennifer Thomas, owner and manager of Coffee Fayre near Middlesbrough England understood the popularity of promotional mugs and had been using them for three years to promote her small but very busy coffee shop. In fact she had become slightly bored with always handing out the same promotional items and decided it was time to try something a little different.

There was no way she was going to stop giving her best customers the promotional printed mugs they had become accustomed to receiving as a gift after every tenth cup of coffee purchased. Many of her customers had been visiting her shop so long that they probably had more Coffee Fayre promotional mugs at home than she had at the shop! She thought long and hard about about what she could add to her popular promotional giveaway. Realising that the majority of her customers were working adults, she thought it would be a good ideas to give them a promotional stress ball to de-stress them when they were at the office and in between cups of her popular coffee.

She typed ’stress balls’ into a few search engines and found a company that specialised in promotional stress balls. She had no idea that there were so many stress ball shapes available for promotional use. There was even a coffee cup shaped stress ball that she knew would be perfect for promoting her shop. She ordered 500 with her logo and telephone number printed on them. When they arrived a few weeks later, she decorated her front window and shelves hundreds of the promotional stress balls. They looked great so it didn’t take long before her loyal customer started asking for a squeeze of the new stress toy coffee cups. Of course, they all wanted one of there own.

Jennifer told them that they were free with every tenth cup of coffee and were in addition to the free coffee cup they had always received. Her customers were delighted with the new gifts and quickly purchased the required amount of coffee drinks to receive their new stress reliever/earthenware coffee cup gifts. It wasn’t long before Coffee Fayre began to run low on the new exciting promotional items so Jennifer quickly ordered another 500. Both the mug and promotional stress balls got Coffee Fayre’s logo and details in front of Jennifer’s customers and made them dream of their next relaxing cup of coffee at their favourite coffee house. As both the coffee cup and the new stress product were relatively inexpensive and looked great decorating her shop windows and shelves, they were and still are the perfect gifts for promoting Coffee Fayre!
