Caffeine Spot

All about the buzz

Salespeople, take note:

MSN Health reports that Caffeine (not just ours) makes you more likely to say "yes"

They said that people were more likely to accept and agree with views expressed in an intellectual argument after they'd had some coffee.

The study also showed that coffee improved their memory.

So next time you need to persuade someone of something, take them out for coffee!

33rd fastest in the world!

Upward trend

We noticed incoming traffic from a link titled "Growing Blogs". To our surprise (and delight), Caffeinespot was WordPress's 33rd fastest growing blog worldwide on June 16th!

Not bad for a little coffee shop in Seapoint.

If you're a Cape Town based blogger, you can be part of it by mentioning Caffeinspot in your blog. In return, we'll hook you up a free buzzy coffee and jumbo muffin, add you to the blogroll, and try send some link-love your way.

Dewet, a Cape Town programmer, did an excellent roundup of Barcamp Capetown. Thanks for the Caffeine mention Dewet… we look forward to meeting you for that muffin and coffee!

Blogger’s Promo

Mention Caffeine Seapoint in your blog (doesn't even have to be a good mention)… then let us know about it (comment' or trackback) and you can have a delicious muffin and coffee on the house.

We'd like to fill our blogroll up with Cape Town city area bloggers…. To build some kind of community and host get togethers at the shop when the numbers are looking respectable. So, let us know your URL and pull in for your freebie muffin & coffee.

We'll try give fellow bloggers ample reason to talk about us. After all, markets are conversations. (Especially our market!!)

Max Kaizen (genius marketing consultant) & Rafiq Phillips (Web Application Design & Development) your muffin and coffee are waiting for you!

We weren't expecting so much traffic in such early days, so we haven't even had the chance to put up our menu here yet!
Please keep coming back… we look forward to introducing ourselves and our concept to you in the next few weeks.

Caffeine Business Breakfast Club

CBBC

Every second Wednesday morning, the Caffeine Business Breakfast Club (CBBC) meets for buzzy coffee and a couple of mindblowingly delicious muffins.

Alot of business goes down and a good time is had by all. Thanks to Stuart, who graciously decided to sponsor everyone their breakfasts today!!

This morning we heard an inspiring presentation from Ted, who works for Education without Borders.Ted reckons that if we ever want a reminder of how priviledged we are, then we should come and hang out at some of the schools in Gugulethu where Education without Borders works. Another interesting point he made is that the kids at these poor schools are incredibly enthusiastic about education and really make the most of every opportunity that comes their way… So we can make a difference to their lives and their futures (which is tied up with our future too, actually).
