Any ideas on some great drink specials for an upbeat coffee shop?

Question

I would like to run some great specials Monday-Sunday. If you went to a coffee shop what would you like to see on special? So far I was thinking... Mocha Mondays, Tuesday HotTeas, Wenesday Whip It's(free whip topping all day) &Thirsty Thursdays(all smoothies $1.00 off). What do you think? I also need something really catchy for the weekends. Thanks in advance for all your answers!

Answer 1

I Think Coffee is covered, I would like to see an old fashioned soda fountain, Cherry Cokes  and also limeades. a real ice cream soda. Coffee is for the morning, Think about the after school crowd they are loaded with money these days. The few times I splurged on fancy coffee in comes in a paper cup.I buy my coffee at the gas station, always fresh $1.19 I think you might want to make the money with something that goes with the coffee.

I work at a hip coffee shop and though we don't have hip daily drink specials I thought of some ideas for you.  The one thing you haven't advertised yet would be the frozen blended or iced coffee drinks.  So you could do something like Frozen Fridays.  I'm not so sure how in love I am with your Wednesday Whip It's.  It does sound original and maybe it took you some time to think of something that started with a W, but it just sounds really corny.   But then again I've never heard of a coffee shop that actually charged for whipped topping.  For the weekend you should probably have a drink on sale that is completely original to your establishment.  Every coffee shop should have original recipe specials, whether they rotate monthly or ex. - its the "hipster" blended coffee drink of the "Hip Coffee shop."  Have a drink with different flavor syrups in the drink and have at least one cool ingredient like chocolate covered espresso beans, actual fruit, peanut butter, or candy.  You may already have on of these awesome specials.  If you charge for your whipped topping then maybe that means you charge for your Wi-Fi, maybe you could make Wednesday free Wi-Fi day.  Maybe Saturday could be Snack Saturday and charge less for snacks on Saturday.  That will get customers trying your food items that might be too pricey most of the time, and then buy it all the time.  Or sell a different snack on sale each weekend you know which ever people haven't been eating or a new product you want to get out there to your customer.  Maybe on Sundays you could have an early church coffee special and get church-goers to forgo their normal regular Maxwell House that waits for them at church and make your shop a regular spot to hit before church.  Wow I actually came up with some interesting ideas I'm surprised.  Since their are no longer any non franchise or chain coffee shops around me I don't have any coffee shops around me that do daily specials so A) It's a cool idea and B) I just came up with these ideas now so you shouldn't be sued to use them lol.  I hope some of these ideas helped you and good luck on your coffee house specials.
