Choosing to support your neighbourhood coffee shop is a conscious decision that extends beyond personal preference. It’s about embracing a richer coffee experience, fostering community ties and championing sustainable practices.
Here, we dive into why frequenting local coffee shops is a simple yet impactful way to make a difference—one cup at a time.
Follow Updates
Simple acts of acknowledgement such as likes, comments, posting and sharing will support your favourite coffee shops social media algorithm and reach, helping them spread the word.
You can easily sign up to your local coffee shops email list or simply follow them on social media to stay in the know.
Write an Honest Review
Writing an honest review will help show other customers and the search engine that the business is trusted. This is the basis of how a search engine will determine what is and isn't displayed.
By leaving a review, you're supporting your local coffee shop's reach, helping to share your experience with others and giving it the credibility it deserves.
Not to mention, it's also a nice gesture to offer the staff some recognition for their hard work!
Enjoy a Take-Away Coffee
Even if the coffee shop itself is full, there's nothing to stop you from enjoying your morning cuppa by opting for a take-away drink.
Whether you're on your way to work or you're spending some time with an old friend, you can always make time for a take-away coffee and support your favourite local businesses!
Purchase a Voucher or Gift Card
Most coffee shops offer vouchers and gift cards, which are a great way to treat your loved ones to a delicious cup of coffee, even if you can’t enjoy it with them.
Here at Esquires Coffee, we not only offer gift cards, but we also have an Esquires Coffee Loyalty Card that allows you to recruit credit to spend on our food or drink.
Take a Look at What Else Is On Offer
Not all coffee shops only sell coffee; you can now purchase sweet treats and mouth-watering savouries, an array of soft drinks and various other products, such as coffee beans, loyalty cups and brewing products!
Whether your stomach's rumbling, you're looking for loyalty rewards, or you just want to experience your favourite coffee shop grind in the comfort of your own home, you can enjoy all of these while helping out a local business!
We hope this article has offered some insight into how you can help sustain your favourite local coffee shops!
