What a great way to get your juices flowing - brainstorming with like-minded people 🤓. Over the last 1+ year, I’ve been ACTIVELY monitoring the growth of RhythmNCulture Coffee House using a number of tools such as website, social media, email, etc. The results have been astonishing! While some may think this subject is “Meh”, it’s a vital part of every business and my passion is to teach what I’ve learned throughout this process.
So listen up!
What I’ve noticed thus far is the community of Jonesboro, Arkansas has changed DRASTICALLY! New faces, new cultures, new traditions and most importantly, new perspectives! Nothing is wrong with change except when you are dealing with a person that loves NOSTALGIA 😍.
As I get my dreamy thoughts in alignment with business, I am realizing that Jonesboro isn’t the best place to put a brick-n-mortar business 🧐.
Here’s a few reasoning as to why…
Support of the masses! Think generational here … Gen Z & Millenials want quick and less of an ambience that infuse coffee and community. That’s not good for a small business that’s growing! And want to STAY!
Economic restraints. It takes a lot to run a business. It takes even more to build it through grassroots efforts. Managing my home and growing a business takes a lot of welcomed sacrifice. I have to be smart here 🤓
BUT don’t give up on us just yet!
I will admit, I shamefully put the cart before the horse in 2023. However, I am much wiser in 2024 understanding the peaks and valleys of business. Last year, I have received $2,000 in donations! Every dollar has gone to MARKETING!! I can’t wait for you all to see it!
I KNOW the support is real and I am sooooooo GRATEFUL for each and every one of you!! You all are AMAZING SUPPORTERS in my book! ♥️
So here’s what you can expect for 2024:
I will have one last mobile pop up shop for Jonesboro, Arkansas in late August (Stay tuned for the email!). Yessss!!! We are mobile now!!! 🎉 🎉This pop up shop is for YOU! You can take advantage by picking up your products immediately, interacting with our games to win discounts & prizes, and MOST importantly, you and I can have some great convos with HUGS!
Business 101 is about pivoting and transparency. I want you all to know that this is my life! I love building this business, through the good days and bad. My entire career was/is CUSTOMER CENTERED. I will continue that in the coffee business!
As I wrap this very long post up, I ask that you give us (ME ☺️) a little more room to grow and a little more patience for it to manifest into something you can truly experience EVERYDAY! In the mean time, SEE YOU SOON!
Respectfully!
Africa ♥️
