I am posting various topics to get us to thinking and get input. The topics range from interesting marketing ideas to who is really running America?
A new approach to marketing!

Are we in a recession or is it an economic ploy to make "Americans" tighten their belts while we loosen up some of our global allies??
Does Bid Brother really exist? http://www.redorbit.com/news/space/1253347/us_to_use_spy_satellites_for_domestic_surveillance/

Seems like the coffee fools have a good marketing strategy. Good sales pitch and lots of choices. Problem is though most coffee drinkers only know coffee as bitter anything else just isn't COFFEE!!
You are so right Paula... but it really does put a new turn on "marketing!"
I think the coffee fool have broken some laws in she ways. I don't think they should be able to make it sound that they are the only ones who make fresh coffee. To me that's misleading.

What about the satellites spying on citizens, using infared to view inside the homes... Have we gone too far. I think so, big time. If they are having such a hard time getting around the constitution and other set privacy laws maybe it isn't a good thing. duh.
yeah big brother has that we are all to have the right to privacy in our homes, but when they listen to people talking on the phone, use the satellites and review your e-mail then unfortunatly they have spent to much time and effort to break into our homes. Thus the economy has it's down fall becuase a large amount of taxes go to this if im any where close that is down right silly we are so screwed.
To touch on the 'Coffeefool' subject a little: I like it, and here's why:
I'm not one to buy into hype. In fact, I've been labeled the skeptic in a family full of optimists, but I actually like the approach that Coffeefool's attempting. Sure it's seems campy in how they go about "giving you the inside secrets", but I like what it represents - honesty. And sure, you're paying double or triple to what your local supermarket sells "fresh coffee" for... but hey, it is what it is.
I'm actually buying my second (used) motorcycle from a small local dealer for similar reasons. I could shop around more or go to a stealership and pickup another bike of similar value. I'm sure the price would be close, if not better, to what I'm purchasing my current bike for as well. But long story short, I was sold on not being sold. They were upfront and honest in what they purchased the bike for and they told me what they were trying to make off of the sell. They went as far as to offer the contact information of the original owner if I had any questions they couldn't answer (a fellow shop bum I suppose). This is not to say I took this information blindly. I researched the blue book value, etc., etc., to make sure their facts were up to snuff. They were indeed and I sealed the deal shortly thereafter :)
But here's the catch to this pseudo cut-and-dry sales pitch: Can you tell when this supposed honesty becomes more of a selling point than actual fact(s)?
Coffee Fools had a good sales pitch and marketing strategy. The description of each coffee flavor and blend was great. I thought the pricing was a little high for the larger quantities.
