Starbucks And The Art Of Proximity
So, I needed some tires.
I have purchased from NTB.
I have purchased from a Mom and Pop shop.
I have purchased from Discount Tire.
Today, I purchased from Kaufman Tire.
Today, I purchased from Kaufman Tire because....
THEY WERE NEXT TO STARBUCKS.
Don't knock the choice, for the choice of ease and comfort brings a joyful consequence to an action!
Once again, Starbucks can be blamed for smart business practices.
Kaufman Tire's mere proximity to Starbucks directly impacted my decision to buy tires from them. And you know what? I'm going to continue to buy from them as long as Starbucks is 200 feet from their door!
Good Job Kaufman! By the way, they were very nice, quick, and charged the right price which was about $2.00 less than Discount Tire! So, not only was it a more enjoyable experience, but I can literally say that they bought me a cup of coffee too!
PS.
The cute little handmade notebook shown features my art, mounted to the cover! Want one for your sweetheart?

ReplyDeleteThanks Cappy! Marlene..yea, find the Starbucks nearest to your Hair Salon, Dry Cleaner, Tire or automotive Center..any place where you might have to wait, and bring your laptop! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is just as logical a choice for tires as any other I suppose. I get my tires at the place next to the liquor store.
ReplyDeleteBill, see what I'm sayin? lol
