Coffee
Subscription Services
Recently there have
been many start-ups offering subscription services recently. This is partly due
to the relatively low start-up costs of these mainly online businesses. Along
with many products being offered by the companies, coffee is also a player in
the subscription arena. Located in London, England Pact Coffee is a specialty
coffee start up that delivers directly to your doormat. Pact offers a
subscription service where a customer signs up and pays, then receives coffee continuously over the course of the subscription.
I think that this e-business
model, in particular, gives value to guy who wants to avoid going to the mall
or grocery store. There is even one subscription service called Citizen Bean that
delivers a pound of coffee along with cookies or chocolate for a sweet-tooth
touch. I think that this is the future of buying and selling coffee, because of
value you receive when you can order from the comfort of your own home.
