KOBA & ZERITU 🍃 It is about how you build your brand. It is not about the name or naming fancy words. A Koba leaf is usually associated with Kitfo or traditional bread wrap (Defo Dabo). Who would have thought that it could be a name for a fancy cake pastry/restaurant? To attract upper class customers, you don't need to name your business "The Boss Cake" like the one around Atlas and god knows how many bosses eat cake they're cautious on their suger level...or CEOs coffee & Cake. or it's not the interior design sets you apart...It's up to you to brand the business. The experience you give your clients matters the most to set yourself high in the game. Who would have thought the name "Zeritu" is cool until she branded it with her mesmerizing voice and incredible album? Zeritu is an outdated name until she arrived on the scene and showed no shame but embraced it. It seems like shift is happening from the old naming styles like- The Newyork Cafe, Amsterdam restaurant, London Café, Jeneve Café, Purple, La-parisienne (London just come back recently) And Now, names like Dukamo, Koba, Akko, is trending. keeping it original 💯 👌 #Branding #Naming #Coffee #Ethiopia

Bubble tea is a new booming business! Here are some ideas for opening a bubble tea shop in the UK, from branding to unique offerings that can help you stand out: Creating a unique brand is important! 🧋Name and Theme: Consider a name that reflects your shop’s identity, like a playful or cultural connection to bubble tea or Shanghai.

Offering a signature menu will put you above the rest! 🎄 Seasonal Specials: Offer limited-time flavors like “Matcha Pumpkin Spice” in autumn or “Rose Lychee” for spring. 🍬Innovative Toppings: Experiment with toppings beyond traditional tapioca, like crystal boba, fresh fruit bits, or even jelly art. 🍏 Healthy Options: The UK market is increasingly health-conscious, so consider reduced-sugar options, fruit teas, or non-dairy alternatives.

Friends of mine will know that I enjoy a nice Gin and Soda. Recently my gin of choice has been Papa Salt. A more sophisticated drinker may tell you it’s because of the balanced botanicals, minerality, spice and subtle hints of things. I am not a sophisticated drinker. I like it because it tastes good and less importantly but still a big factor at least in my initial purchase - the bottle looks nice. A designer could no doubt talk about the minimalism, the clean understated look, the tapered design lending an air of refinement and how the embossed logo symbolizes the brands coastal inspiration. I am not a designer. I just think it looked nice. It’s fortunate that I know what it looks like otherwise I might well have missed it yesterday when I went to pick up bottle. The gin section in the store I shopped has been relayed recently. Good news for Papa Salt. It’s been moved from its lowly bottom shelf position to ideal central location mid fixture at eye level, from the basement to the penthouse! Or perhaps not…... What I found was that to fit in its prime position on a crowded shelf it’s one facing was turned sideways, it now takes up about two inches of space with not a single identifying feature on display. I’m going to guess its sales won’t improve in this store. It’s a reminder that execution is everything in retail. Good ranging, good position, great product and the best of intentions can all be undone if execution isn’t nailed. How is your brand showing up in retail? #retailexecution #DKSHSmollan #Crossmark #Salesteamproviders

In the mid-1990s, Sidney Frank – an American businessman with a knack for crafting luxury brands – wanted to introduce a new premium vodka to the market, at the time dominated by established Russian brands and Sweden's Absolut. Targeting the affluent and aspirational, Frank leveraged American consumers' intuitive association between luxury and French goods by partnering with Francois Thibault, a cellar master, to craft what he'd decided to call 'Grey Goose' using traditional French techniques – distilled in Picardy and bottled in Cognac. With taste and production sorted, Frank turned to branding. Wanting his bottle to convey French provenance, Frank's design featured frosted glass for a premium edge and a small flag to denote its country of origin; delicate netting circles the body to mimic the region's fine wines, as does a replaceable cork. The product was placed in Sex and The City – a pinnacle of late 90s New York lifestyle – as well as donated to multiple society charity galas. Business boomed, and by 2004, just seven years after launch, Grey Goose was sold to Bacardi for $2 billion. By hiking pricepoint (at launch Absolut sat around $17 for 750ml, Grey Goose went on shelves for $30), Frank created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everything about vodka is perception. It's colourless, odourless, even tasteless in a way. Yet by building visual, psychological and social associations between the product and perceptions of luxury, Sidney Frank set a new standard for the spirit market. Whilst the likelihood of Grey Goose lining the cellars of collectors is slim, its origin lends itself to the importance of perceived value. Fine wine and rare spirits are an increasingly credible asset class, with a global market value in the billions. More than that, owning products of high calibre possesses an intoxicating quality unmatched by other kinds of capital — whether investors drink it or not.

Ever wondered about the artistry behind your morning cup of tea? ☕ The world of custom tea cups is more intricate than you might think. Each design tells a story, a narrative woven into the fabric of the cup itself. From the selection of materials to the intricate detailing, there's a lot that goes into creating these pieces of functional art. Wholesale drinkware is not just about mass production, it's about creating a unique experience for the end user. So next time you sip your tea, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into your cup. Isn't it fascinating how something so mundane can be transformed into something so extraordinary?

We’ve had a strong month at Chelsea Vintners after a pretty tricky October and a pretty ordinary Q3. This morning we’ve sold two cases (12x75cl) of the legendary millennium Lafite Rothschild in perfect condition. That’s not a brag - in a standard market it’s a fairly everyday trade - but this one was interesting because of the price. They went for £9,600 each, in bond, in perfect condition, OWC etc. The significance of this is noteworthy: the last time this case was available under £10k was May 2009 (according to our friends at Liv-ex), and it consistently traded over a 6-year period from 2017 to 2023 at £13-14k per case. There aren’t many things you can buy which have had 15 years of steady quality improvement, not to mention reducing supply, which are the same price as they were 15 years ago. There’s no disputing the quality (consistent upper-90s scores) and demand for the 2000 vintage has always seen it priced above comparable quality vintages. Personally I love the richer, more open style of 2000s, which to my mind just give so much drinking satisfaction. And given this open-knit, sunny style, I dare say a lot of corks have already been pulled - after all, it’s a 24 year-old wine. However on his last tasting Neal Martin at Vinous Media LLC extended its potential drinking window to 2060. So this wine has decades ahead of it, and the volume available on the market is undoubtedly dwindling. Those are good things. It’s been well reported that Bordeaux prices are down on average around 20% in the last 2 years, and arguably the challenges in the market (predominantly the oversupply in, and drop in demand from, Asia, and more specifically China) which have fuelled these price falls don’t appear to have a clear and easy solution. So could our example case of Lafite 2000 get cheaper over the coming months? Sure. But is a 15-year reverse in pricing good news for buyers of serious wine with long term potential both in financial and more importantly consumption terms? Absolutely. Investors from the last decade might be licking their wounds now and for a while to come: but for drinkers and collectors with a 5-10 year view, it’s starting to look like time to back up the truck…
