Cafe Connect Online Coffee Store Offers Free Shipping in Holiday Promotion
The holidays are a great time to show appreciation to our fans and make it easier for them to lend their support to what we do.
MONROE, La. (PRWEB) December 24, 2014
Café Connect, a fundraising project for the award-winning video podcast Christian Movie Connect (CMC), is offering free shipping until December 31, 2014 in their online coffee store as a holiday promotion, using code “HolidayFreeShipping.” The organic fair trade coffee is available in 12 oz. bags and can be purchased in one-time orders or subscriptions of one bag per month. There are seven varieties of this specialty ultra-fresh coffee which is roasted within 24 hours of shipping.
“The holidays are a great time to show appreciation to our fans and make it easier for them to lend their support to what we do,” says CMC producer and host Cheryl Ariaz Wicker. Christian Movie Connect is a podcast about faith-based, family-friendly and redemptive movies where Wicker interviews the personalities behind the movies.
Funds received from Café Connect purchases will go toward production costs and will allow CMC to improve their website and invest in marketing efforts to grow their audience so they can spread the news about Christian movies to a larger audience. A portion of the proceeds of the Café Connect private label bagged coffee will also go toward a scholarship fund for up-and-coming Christian filmmakers. “Our podcast gives filmmakers free publicity but it’s not free to us,” remarks Wicker. “Café Connect is a revenue stream to allow us to continue to move forward.”
During the last two months, Café Connect hosted a Facebook photo contest called “Best Coffee Moments,” to promote their private label brand. Contestants were asked to post photos of themselves enjoying a cup of coffee. The photo with the most Facebook “likes” won a bag of Café Connect coffee. The three winners of the contest were Benjamin Dane, Rachel Whittle, and Jenn Gotzon.
