CADDis, Consignment and Coupons

Last week I had a consultation with Mike Michalowicz (The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur). It was great and I so appreciated his openness and the creative thought he offered.

My assignment at the end was to get CADDis into a small coffee shop on consignment. Consignment was never something I wanted to deal with, but, being an overachiever from kindergarten, I did my homework and am pleased to report that:

CADDis are now at Great Harvest Bread Company in downtown Lansing.
AND - will soon be at Mama Bear's in Lansing's Old Town.

I'm running a week-long special starting tomorrow at Great Harvest - $2 off a CADDi w/ coffee purchase.
I'll run a coupon special for Mama Bear's sometime near SummerFest, as I think the CADDi is great for outdoor events (Old Town has bunches of them) and I really want to get them in people's hands.

It didn't kill me to do this - didn't even hurt. It will be interesting to see how things go.
I'll post the coupons on Facebook and in e-mails and probably tweet about it - can't hurt.
