MDI – Coffee Subscription

Million Dollar Idea of the day… Â Coffee subscription service. I know, I know, there are a hundred coffee subscription services, but they are all for coffee delivery, of beans or ground coffee for your coffee maker. I’m talking an in-store, fill my cup up every morning for a flat rate of $39.95 a month kind of subscription service. If I spend over two dollars a day on my morning java, it adds up. Why not offer this service to keep your customers coming back every day, and they will most likely buy additional items. I know its hard to part with a few percentage points of profit on every cup, but i’m sure Starbucks can afford to lose a couple cents on every cup when the cost for an average cup of starbucks coffee is about 5% of retail.

I came across an interesting color site that links the symbolic meaning of colors and words. Check out the Cymbolism site and see how you pick colors based on key words, and how others think of colors based on key words. A great resource when trying to create a color scheme for projects.
