hmm - let me ponder, dig around....gremlin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:52 pm You kindly threw in a sample bag in with one of my previous orders. That's what got me thinking. Was it a 100g bag? That's a bob-on size.
Numbers wise, maybe 6 or 8 bags plus an 'eco-friendly' travel mug and, obviously a money off voucher for the next order.
Price wise, around £20-£25 would be reasonable, but obviously you'd have to price it so that it was comparable to the price of a similar weight of standard order beans. For me it would be the fact that there was a selection that mattered most.
Re the mug, if you're thinking of going down that route, consider this: your product is high end and ethical. Something branded but equally as high end would suit the product. Just looking on Alibaba something like this perhaps:

Packaging is tricky, but I'd say go with the high end, eco vibe: branded brown paper bag. Recycled, naturally. Preferable hand-woven by rescued armadillos. Excessive packaging is just sooo last decade.

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
Indeed, but with a min order of 200 @ $9 a pop....it pretty much makes it a non-starter. Having a hunt about to see what I can come up with though...Rockburner wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 3:39 pmI quite like that.....gremlin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 2:52 pm Re the mug, if you're thinking of going down that route, consider this: your product is high end and ethical.

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
I am just going to order him a bag of coffee! Job jobbed. And if he likes it, he will order his own coffee. I think that will work as a marketing exercise.

One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
If I found a coffee I liked and it could be decaf that would be perfect. I drink decaf Yorkshire tea by the bucketful! If I found a coffee I liked I couldn’t drink much as I avoid caffeine generally. (Except on seriously long transfer days, then I drink too much lousy coffee!!)Wreckless Rat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 5:39 pm How many people would buy decaff if it was in my shop??

I’d probably buy some for friends too.
But as I’m not a coffee purchaser/drinker yet, not sure my comment helps much!!

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
Favourite so far is the Kinini Kinigazi (Rwanda) with the Fazenda Palmital (Brazil) up next. Given how much I like a lot of Ethopian coffee's I wonder if I have a thing for African coffee

Africa makes some sublime coffees - so you’re not alone, my missus loves African coffees too.

Ordered. Thanks buddy.
We are getting through 1.5kg a month here between two of us. Not masses for some of you, but interesting for us to know

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
Finally the lavaza has gone and I’ve had a chance to stock the machine with Holly’s Blend.
Tastes really smooth, no bitterness at all. Delicious!

Re: The kings is dead... long live the king.....
Cool. Holly's isn't a really "strong" coffee, but it certainly is tasty as the three beans are all roasted to a different profile. One is quite a bit darker, one light and a mid roast on the third. This brings a really nice roundness to it, again IMHO.
