Marketing: House Parties

Do this.  This is a great way to make (remember bake, make and shake) permanent customers and create a name for your business.

You will want to make certain that the people have money.  Professionals are best.  But these folks are looking for new stuff to do too and will respond.  Do a brochure on MS Publisher.

You need:

A light weight espresso maker - get a Krups or other make with a pump.

Handouts

An agenda

Show how to make espresso, cappuccino, latte, layer a cappuccino in a see-through glass, bring a globe and talk about the origins, between the 20's, what coffee tastes like, bring a few airpots of brewed origins, of flavors, bring packages, baskets, small appliances, smiles.  I have a tape I can share with you, or buy one from the sources at the SCAA  If memory serves there is an outfit called Bellisimo who advertises in many magazines.
