Social Networks and Coffee
| 2019-03-26
In an interview to AFP (in 2012), the owner of the New-Yorker coffee shops “Everyman Espresso”, Sam Penix, was questioned about the reasons why specialty coffee was developing so much. He highlighted the social networks for the development of the sector, by saying that “All the community is connected via Twitter”.
The social networks are a reality and, besides, they are increasing day by day: according to a study done in 2011 in France, over 25 million French people use Facebook and one over 4 facebook users has made at least a buy via Facebook! Besides the logical relationship between consumer/roaster, with social networks, the link between roasters can be reinforced, knowing that is actually the best tool for entrepreneurs to contact between them, and to learn the ones from the others. And not only between roasters, remember that there are plenty of producers present in the social networks!
These interactions, in these so changing moments of the coffee sector, can be extremely useful for roasters in their expertise.
Some walls existing before have been erased all over the world thanks to these tools… it seems like we’re watching the world wake up from history, in a blink of an eye ;)
