Mocha Joe’s Builds Customer Relationships One Cup of Coffee At a Time

On the last Thursday of every month, you’ll find me sipping the decaf flavor of the day (black, no sugar) and talking about social media and ways to connect with customers with about ten other business professionals.  We call ourselves the Akron Bloggers Community. 

It started a little over three years ago when Chris Brown of Marketing Resources and Results, Inc. and I decided it would be fun to have a meet up with other bloggers in the area.  Each month the people change, a few are regulars, and some come and go but we always find something new to talk about.

The one constant? The location. Mocha Joe’s Coffee Shop (formerly Arabica Coffee) has graciously hosted our meets up without a fee or fuss.  And sometimes they have a right to fuss.  We start with a table for four and sometimes keep moving their furniture until we can accommodate 12-16 people!  And we aren’t exactly quiet.  And we stay – sometimes for three hours. 

This last month when I ordered my coffee the barista said “it’s nice to see how your group has grown over the last several months.”

Rather than complain about the fact that we basically take over the place and may only order one cup of coffee each – he was grateful for our business and aware enough to see that our community was growing.

Mocha Joe’s Coffee House is a great place to meet, relax and connect. The coffee is always top notch and the bakery is yummy! If you are in the Stow area and in the mood for a cuppa – I would suggest dropping in.  You’ll feel welcome and nourished!
