necessity to pay cover charges. For us, this will provide a unique possibility for building a loyal client

University as well as public schools, including prestigious private schools and academies as
close to 5,000 students and another 400 – 500 faculty and staff. Our main market will be

with students. Students need not just coffee, but also a place to meet comfortably, have a

In order to build up its client base, Mapa Coffee shop will use some strategic banners and fliers during
the launch period, utilize customer referrals and cross-promotions with other businesses in the
community from time to time, and loyalty programs that work with android and IOS and other mobile
phones, which is the preference of our market. Our main thrust will be getting people to know, like,
and trust us with content and engagement in Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter.
What resources does your marketing strategy require, and you have access to them?
The Mapa Coffee Shop will rely on building relationships with schools, donations, and corporations
to provide significant free publicity because of its community support program. By giving donation
contributions to these institutions, they will get the word out to their
students/faculty/employees/partners about Mapa. Word of mouth has always proven to be the greatest
advertising program a company can implement. In addition, the media will be more than willing to
promote the charitable aspects of Mapa and provide the opportunity for more exposure every time.
Customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers are more likely to become loyal customers and to
recommend our business to others. This can lead to increased sales, revenue, and success over time.
Additionally, a positive reputation for customer service can help our coffee shop stand out in a
atmosphere that encourages customers to return and helps to build a strong brand reputation.
