MORE INFO
The opportunity
Did you know your coffee shop is one of 70 local coffee shops on the sunrise side of Michigan? But can people find you? Are they motivated to stop in?
So many people like coffee and like to explore new places. We’re putting these two realities together in a way that will benefit your coffee shop. The Sunrise Side Coffee Tour offers an attractive, appropriately priced “Tour passport” with key information and a discount coupon for each participating coffee shop. Tours like this are popular with people and profitable for businesses like yours!
The added bonus is, ALL proceeds support our efforts to empower and resource those less fortunate in Haiti and other developing countries. Learn more about our nonprofit organization HERE. Have coffee. Help others.
The details
Sunrise Side Coffee Tour runs from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. (That means Tour coupons expire at 11:59pm on September 30, 2025.)
Again this year, we guarantee a printing/distribution of at least 1000 Tour passports. We are promoting the Coffee Tour widely – to individuals, schools (for fund-raisers), companies, radio stations, Michigan travel organizations and websites, etc. Your shop will get a lot of exposure simply by offering a discount to passport holders!
During the dates of the tour, we ask that your coffee shop honor a significant discount coupon on (at least) the first drink of choice to Tour passport holders. (If you desire, choose a different discount when you sign up.) Passport holders MUST present their Tour passport to your barista at time of purchase to receive the discount. Your barista will stamp or notate the passport to show the discount coupon was used.
Each participating coffee shop will have one full 4” x 6” page in the Tour passport. Your page will include your shop’s logo, tag line/description, and location(s) as well as discount coupon info and space for stamp/notes. (All coffee shop pages will follow an attractive, stock format.)
Passports will sell for $20 each. Purchase a Tour passport HERE As a participating coffee shop, you also have the opportunity to purchase 6 or more passports at a 20% discount for resale at full price in your shop. Buy passports in quantity HERE.
