Coffee News
Coffee News is a franchise that can be operated from a home office. Started by Jean Daum in 1988 in Canada, the franchise is now operating around Canada and within several US cities. Her idea was to create the most affordable advertising publication anywhere, that delivered outstanding results for the small and medium sized businesses who advertised in them.
Coffee News itself is a weekly publication that promotes small businesses in restaurants and coffee shops. There have been a number of studies that have proven that people are more open to advertisments while they’re eating, and while people are waiting for their coffee or meals to be delivered, it’s only natural that they’d read what’s right in front of them! The newsletter also delivers fun information, unusual news stories, horoscopes, jokes and entertainment- which is in sharp contrast to the regular newspapers and television news broadcasts which seem to focus on the bad news.
Coffee News franchise owners are not multi-level marketing representatives. The company believes that the individuals who do the work should reap the benefits. As a general rule, only the people who are in the beginning stages of a multi-level marketing organization make a lot of money; and Coffee News decided to create the business as a franchise opportunity rather than MLM.
When you become a franchise owner of Coffee News, you make advertising space available to the small and medium sized businesses within your community, at prices they can afford. Most new businesses, and those that are small, have difficulty advertising because the costs are usually outside their budgets. Coffee News makes it possible for these smaller scale businesses to get their name, products, and services in the hands of potential customers.
Restaurant and coffee shop owners love to provide the no-cost-to-them news to their patrons, it allows them to provide their customers with reading material without having to shell out money for daily or weekly newspapers. The franchise is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
When you become a business owner of your own Coffee News franchise, you can expect:
- An exclusive license to operate within your geographical area – meaning no other Coffee News franchises will be operating within your area.
- The ability to set the prices of advertising space in your Coffee News publication.
- A step-by-step manual for business owners that takes you from day one to successful operation of your own business.
- The ability to sell your license if you decide to stop your Coffee News business.

This is really useful for starters like me who cannot afford advertising spaces. Too bad it’s just weekly.

Yes really useful, though it’s weekly but at least you able to advertise them. it’s a wiser way for a starter to promote such thing.

It’s not just weekly, Adam. You always have the option to advertise quarterly or even yearly if you would like. Coffee News is one of the few franchises that you can get into with a fraction of the cost that other franchises charge. It’s the real deal.. not MLM or Amway. It’s a great way to spend the day working too.. meeting people, talking, and building relationships in your community. It’s not so easy that you don’t have to work a full-time schedule to reap the benefits at first, but as time goes on (distribution points are setup and advertisers take notice) you can spend less and less hours working it and make a substantial income. Better and less expensive than newspaper advertising!
