SHOULD YOUR BRAND OPEN A COFFEE SHOP?

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Brands from luxury fashion to banks are opening coffee shops to expand their reach beyond traditional buyers. These cafés create “third places” where people can spend time, increasing dwell time and chances of purchases. Coffee shops like Uniqlo's Fifth Avenue location and Dior's Blue Box Café generate social media buzz through Instagrammable spaces and UGC. While costly and requiring quality service, partnering with established coffee roasters can reduce risks.
