Facebook and Vermont Gourmet Coffee

Are you sipping a cup of Mexican Altura coffee in the shadow of Mount Mansfield here in Vermont? Maybe you are enjoying some Ethiopian Sidamo coffee miles away in Massachusetts or across the country in California.

No matter where you are, it's become so simple for us to get together for coffee through out the Brown and Jenkins' website, blogs and now with our Brown and Jenkins Facebook page. Yes, I'm even learning how to send tweets through Twitter! I can't tell you how much these social media applications are changing the face of both our local and Internet business.

Having spent years of my life as a professional chef, my main clients were face to face and able to give immediate feedback in real time. Now that I run a gourmet coffee roastery café in this rural corner of Vermont, you might think that getting feedback from our online customers would be a challenge. Not so!

It's so fun to get comments from all over the country. Please tell me what you're drinking, and what corner of the world you are drinking it in! And if you ever get a chance to visit the Green Mountains, Burlington or any of the local ski resorts, make sure you stop in to chat in person. Until then, I continue to enjoy our virtual coffee connection.

Networking Event for Locals:

Come to our next Coffee and Cards Networking Social to meet other Vermont business owners and to hear Sara Spenser of GotClicks talk about innovative ways to market your business online. It's here at Brown and Jenkins Monday, April 5 from 7pm to 9pm.

Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
