Week9A: Sharing your thoughts

  Attention everyone! Central Brew is now on twitter, follow us at https://twitter.com/CentralBrewSM

Since we recently jumped on Twitter, it only makes sense to compare our Twitter account to other coffee shops to get some tips or lend some tips. I utilized the search function of Twitter for "coffee shops" and these are four of the Twitter pages that resulted.

101 Coffee Shop

101 Coffee Shop has put out over 4000 tweets and has over 3000 followers.  Clearly they're doing something right for being a local business.  I love that they used a picture of their store front for the profile picture but I'm not liking their cover photo. It looks like they took a picture of a wall.  They should incorporate something coffee related or even use a picture of inside their shop to show guest interactions.  I notice that they utilize multiple hashtags per post which definitely has opportunity to draw in a following.

Kirkharle Court Coffee Shop

Kirkharle Court coffee shop is doing everything right.  Absolutely love the use of the building picture as their cover photo.  It really highlights their 18th century theme.  I do like that they have the business name in their profile photo which makes for easy searching when scrolling through profile pictures.  They really utilize their posts to the full intentional by incorporating pictures and videos. They're Twitter account has over 10,000 followers.

Peace Coffee Shop

Peace Coffee Shop is has over 1,000 followers and makes great use of their design pictures.  It's a great attention grabber to see the name of the business in a picture. They also utilize many pictures which continues to grab at the audience. One thing I did notice is that they're posts are very far apart.  They should consider doing at least weekly posts if daily is not possible.

Neat Coffee Shop

Neat Coffee Shop has over 1,000 followers and utilizes it's posts to alert people of events occurring. They also do a post every few days which is great.  They're posts seem to be focused more on the music than coffee though.  I think they only really use the twitter for concert events after reviewing more tweets.  I would suggest to add more pictures of the audience as they drink coffee or even just pictures of the coffee available.
